New phone mount accessory from BMW

[Grumpy Goat]

I have a cradle mounted on my R1250RS and have had no camera issues so far with my iPhone 14 Pro but I've only got 400km on the bike. The issue I'm having is the phone getting very hot when charging wirelessly in the cradle. Anyone else have this issue?

I don't have a wireless charging setup for my iPhone XR so when I do charge it while riding, it is usually wired. I use the 12V socket that I installed on my bike next to the instrument cluster and that is wired directly to the battery. The phone charges but also does get hot, so I keep an eye on it and unplug the charging cable as soon as the phone is topped up, i.e. I don't leave it plugged in all the time or beyond when the charge is full. I did that once and the phone got warm to the point where it shut down.

I can only guess that the input current was too high for the phone. However, if you are using a dedicated wireless charging dock and the input current rating is the same as what is recommended for the phone when on an Apple wireless charger, then maybe getting hot is expected.
