One of the reasons I changed the head unit in my mini was for one with a usb socket in the back. Now I have a hidden wire running to the glove box and my iPod or phone can sit in there (and with the R53 there is a vent in the glovebox to allow cold air in). Thanks for another entertaining film Pete, and I hope you got all your essentials :)

I have that problem just charging my iPhone SE (not the new SE). My hubster fitted a new battery but it can't be original as it actually did burn my hand when charging from a cable in the house. Admittedly I have delicate hands as I don't have hot drinks (which obv holding a mug would toughen one up) so I'm maybe pathetic but the phone actually marked my skin. I half expected it to go up in flames but I ripped the cable out and threw the phone across the room, it didn't even do its thermo shut down so I am extremely wary of it now.

I knew there was a reason why I subscribed, lol. Very interesting, thanks for sharing that Pete. The lesson here is to just plug in, I reckon I can do that in 2 seconds! Stay safe buddy.

So for short trips around the city - shopping, pickup up food, getting gas, driving to work - I just keep the phone in my pocket. For trips longer than an hour, I'm going to just plug the phone in to charge. One thing I might try is mounting a computer fan inside the charging compartment. I can plug it in via USB and have it blow directly onto the phone. Might work! We'll see.

Well they say you learn something every day, and our Nordic king was the lesson for today 👍🏻

Your exactly right. Im an engineer and pretty much drive for a living. So also use CarPlay all day long. Like you i have found the same issue, the phone just gets too hot. So i have to use a cable. The other thing to consider is the No.1 Enemy of Electronics is Heat. Heat kills components. So the actual life span of the phone will be reduced, and definitely the life of the Lithium battery pack. One thing you dont want to happen is for a phone battery to vent, and then catch fire. This has happened to me, but luckily at home and i manged to launch it into the garden before it burned me and the house. Even worse if that happens in a car while you are driving. Manufacturers not thinking for sure. Lets put a high powered computing device into a sealed box and give it a work out.

Hi Pete! Thank you for all the nice videos you provide! What a small world this is! I am an electrical engineer, and used to work on AXE SW as a designer/team leader etc. for the OMS subsystem until 2004! I still work on telecommunications as a Project Manager. So we have a similar background... This video is the exact reason i did not order my MINI F56 JCW without this feature, when I saw that the wireless charging spot was inside the handrest. To my mind, what could be done, is add a fan and holes on both sides for airflow, this design would enable the phones to reduce temperature. However, this would blow hot air on one side and make some noise. Another better solution would be to select another position like the lower dash, but this is not the case here... I am waiting to collect my mini, it has arrived since the end of March, but was not delivered due to coronavirus...

Good video. My only challenge with the Qi charging pad is that my iPhone 12 Pro + is too big to fit in the mount. I'm working on modifications for this. But I was thinking, all you really need is some sort of air movement through the arm rest. If a small PC fan were fitted on one end and an air duct on another, you'd have the ventilation needed to keep it from overheating. I have a buddy with a 3D printer. I think I might just have to speak to him this week.

Great info on Bluetooth Pete 👍

However, I do have a Samsung 'phone and the wireless dock for it at home and I have zero heat problems. It never even seems to get remotely warm.

I just picked up my 2017 Countryman with the same features. My iPhone 11 and iPhone 8 both get hot (not warm) after just 10 minutes or so on the wireless charger. It’s unfortunate, because I agree it’s a great feature and an ideal location for the phone. I don’t like the idea of extended heating sessions while the battery charges at essentially a trickle rate, especially on a road trip. I’m convinced I’ll stick to wired charging.

Hi, thanks for all your great videos, after watching your charging issues surly you could vent air from the rear seat vents into the arm rest which would help dissipate the heat. The air to those vents I would presume run below the arm rest enclosure.. all the best John C.

Great educational content. I have a wireless charging for my iPhone xMax in my 2020 Audi S4 which is open to the air under the arm rest. Works fine and never has overheated although I have noticed the phone hotter at the end of the journey. Latest Audi A4/S4 only support CarPlay and Android auto via USB which is slightly annoying but there is a USB C slot behind where the phone sits.

Very informative, thanks Pete! I wireless charge my phone at home/hotels with no issues. I guess there’s a lot of air around though so it doesn’t get hot? Like you say, shutting it in the armrest prevents airflow! Perhaps, like on other cars, they should have the charge pad in the open, in front of the gear lever maybe?

Paul Kirman - I agree, I love my Subaru's tech that helps make up for my age related driving defficiencies so I go for it, but keeping it simple is a must, and I actually see the wireless charging as additional clutter, especially in an armrest that is needed to hide clutter. Pete, perhaps this is an opportunity to work with your contacts on conversion of, or near to, an air a/c vent cooled charging platform. I have always missed the simple slide out cup holder on one of my earlier Subarus (pre-Nav screen) that was in front of the center dash vents, out of sight when not used, kept drinks warm in winter and cool in summer when needed. For now, a simple perforated armrest might suffice, and give you another chance to show your mechanical conversion skills. Great video, and good info for others.

I know this is a year old but I just had to say thank your for your great explanation. I just bought a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe, High Country diesel. Fuel wise it gets almost 30 mpg and I love almost everything this vehicle has to offer. The wireless CarPlay is amazing! I love how the car locks itself up when I leave the vehicle too. I noticed right from the beginning that the wireless charging pad was slow to charge and today my phone got super hot! I have an iPhone pro max 13 and battery health dropped to 99%. I have only had this phone for 4 months. I was wondering if this charging pad is affecting my phone battery! Now I know. I will use the cable to charge the phone until I get more info, I guess. I am not too happy right now. I was loving the fact that I didn’t need a cable. Anyway, thank you for your insight and informative video.

Wireless chargers ruin the phone's battery, the problem begins when the phone is on the pad/mat using its features to connect to the cars head unit, this begins the route of discharging the phones battery, to compensate the pad is trying to put the charge back into the battery, the discharge rate is different to the charge rate, thus the heat generated. (The battery doesnt know whether its coming or going) If you are going to use the carplay feature, then connect via cable, and only use the pad for just charging, although i dont see the point of the pad if you have a cable.

Pete very informitive vid I don't have wireless charging in my car however do use at night to charge my s10plus its very convenient it even has fast wireless charging. If I forget to charge it will add enough charge in 30 to 40 mins and in the car charging for 30 mins to see me through the day until bed time.

I experience the same with a 2023 Jeep while running multiple applications via blue tooth connected Apple Car Play and wireless charging. I found it helps avoid it just by running a single app.

And, annoyingly, the iPhone 11 Pro, that I'm considering next, has a glass back due to its wireless charging ability! I want it for its triple cameras. Yes, I also have a DSLR, somewhere around. 😉

Same in a Range Rover Sport! WIFI charging pad under the AC unit which then gets so hot that it tricks the AC into blowing out cold air out too! Only fix I found was for long trips get 2 high capacity USB power banks (I bought some with Solar just so i could leave one out for a little top up whilst away from the car) use the wireless charging to start off with then after an hour or so use a cable charger on the USB power bank and then store in glove box. Strangely though it does seem to be the NAV software like Mpas or Google maps that use a lot of processing power and create the the heat, Spotify or Amazon music doesnt seem to cause the problem, It might generate more heat as im using Google maps with the satellite images on that requires extra processing and maybe more heat than normal too. Good vid

I’m glad I didn’t option wireless charging or wireless CarPlay for my new car based on the information in this video. I’m sure one of my previous cars (way before wireless charging existed) had a cooled glovebox. It might have been my 55 reg Peugeot 307. I don’t even have my phone in a case so it can “breathe”. iPhones are particularly prone to heat up if the software & apps are out of date. Interestingly (or not) this is why you should always extend an extension reel. Because of the current, heat can build causing a potential for fire.

Cheers Ped, as a fellow former Telco professional I enjoyed your brilliant explanation tremendously. Just to up the nerd factor a bit I suspect that the very high performance processors used in Apple’s mobile devices and the sleek design of their products possibly not providing optimal cooling of the hardware might contribute to creating the problem in the first place. That would also explain why it happens in other cars as well Anyways, placing the phone in the wireless charger and closing the armrest lid over it is probably detrimental to antenne performance, until heat throttling shuts the thing down! ;-).

Old thread revival, so apologies, but the issue is still relevant. While I was installing a mod on my 2019 Countryman PHEV so that bigger phones can fit in the charger, I noticed to the driver's side of the unit (and usually out of sight) is a small PC-type fan and corrsesponding vent holes. Since I've been unable to use the charger, I've never heard the fan spin up. I don't know if this fan was peculiar to this model or not, but I haven't heard anyome mention it before.
