after market Wireless charger
What is a good wireless charger pad for our Z4?
My 2022 does not come with it. I could get the part from the 2021 but is there a better after market one ? |

Honestly... you might be better off. Wireless charger in the 2021 can burn up a phone. Unfortunate really, but I rarely use mine because of it.

I am assuming you have an iPhone consider a really inexpensive coiled lightning charger. They come in different lengths and colors.

I think it’s less of an issue with the Z4 and more of a issue of the iphone running a GPS related app like Waze. There are a number or articles on iphone heat issues. It also doesn’t help to be in an area with no airflow. Based on my testing, creating airflow across the phone while charging is enough to address the problem.

I got an android and heats up as well. Can only leave it on the charger 45 minutes. I'm waiting on Kwat's fan to become available.

Mine also came without wireless charger. There are parts on the market, like 2nd hand to be fitted after, but the question is whether the cables are there.. Changing the tray to wireless would 15 mins effort.

I’m gauging interest in the custom wireless charging pad cooling fan I designed for the Z4. The details are in the thread below.

Research how well your phone does with wireless charging before going this route ...my iPhone 8 (ancient I know) starts to overheat after 20-25 min of wireless charging and barely charges for all that effort. Not the Z4's fault from my understanding, the phone just isn't good at wireless charging. But if I plug it in to a USB charger - absolutely no problems. So that's what I have been doing.

I have an iphone 12pro and the wireless charger keeps it fully charged while running Waze and apple CarPlay and the fan (mentioned in the other thread) keeps it cool enough to not overheat over longer periods of time. Too bad they didn’t just route some of the cool air from the AC into the compartment…
