hi i just bought i 2012 535i last week and i bought i cradle for my iPhone 4s but i found that every time i connected to it gets very hot after 10 min driving . someone can tell me why?

Same thing happening to me with 2012 550 xDrive. And not consistently charging.

I have similar probelm but everything works fine so far. Some newer cradles are equipped with fans but mine is not. I guess the fan is used to solve this issue.

I Have The Same Cradles With The Fan , But Still Getting Hot After 10 Min.

Yes same with mine, I had it for my iPhone for a year or so and always gets extremely hot, not sure what the issue is but I think it's happening to everyone with the cradle we aren't the only ones having this problem, next time I'm in for a service I'll talk to my service advisor about this

I had mine replaced and doesn't get as hot, free

Mine gets hot, I have an iPhone 4, no S and my cradle has the fan. Other than getting a bit warm it seems to work ok.

I'm having the same issue with my cradle and it has the fan. I'm thinking of taking the the whole thing apart and try to tap into the A/C vents to see if I can divert some cool air to the cradle. I know that I may have to make a hole next to the cradle to keep it cool but it's better than driving with one of the arm rest flap open.

I'll keep you guys posted.
