M5 iPhone 5 Snap-In Adapter
Anyone's iP5 get extremely hot after its snapped in for 45 to an hour or so? I'm thinking its only a matter of time before the phone battery starts having issues because of how hot it gets.
On another note, MOG on the iDrive is pretty darn cool. MOG on just the iPhone is exactly the opposite though.

I remember my Alpina B7 had a ventilated/air conditioned center console so it was always cold in there. Too bad M5 doesn't have this, it would help the situation.
Anyone else notice this issue?

You may want to check the snap-in adapter. There's a batch of early release adapters out there which actually have no built-in fan. The final release ones have a fan built-in

The phone gets hot if the screen stays on while its connected. Otherwise I've found it to not get too hot, just a little warm.

I'll try clicking the screen off after the BMW/MOG screen comes on.
@jmh I guess if I disconnect the adapter and there are vents then it has the fan.. any idea how I can find a model with the fan? I purchased the one I have off a eBay seller in Germany.

Are you sure that's true for the iPhone 5 variants? I know the 4/4S cradles initially had no fan (and were immediately recalled after already taking forever to be released and subsequently reissued with fans), but I'd be amazed if BMW made the same dumb mistake on the iPhone 5 version as well.
