Wireless Charging Alternative

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to BMWs wireless charging option?

Something that fits snuggly into the space?

TIA

This setup works pretty well and fits snugly. If you find a more discrete cable let me know

Pretty sure in the U.K. it’s a standard USB port up front and USB C under the arm rest. At least in my standard M Sport anyway.

That solution looks cool though. Does it or the phone get very hot?

Standard USB port up front for NA version too.

Haven't noticed it hot at all as it's only a 5watt charger up front. No fast charging.

In my 12volt outlet I have a usb I will sometimes switch it too (you can vaguely see it in the pic). When using this port my phone has felt hot at times.

Just a bit confused with the cable in the image which is USB C type.

Ah I understand the confusion. The cable in the pic is USB to USB-C. The port on the wireless charger is usb-c
