Mine works fine, but will give the Chigee a try. The lower bracket also broke. Thank you for the part no. Keep up the great work.Opened the cradle. and for the price, they could have at least used aluminum on the moving parts. Very cheap internals plastic parts.

When talking about the main issues - I'm missing the most annoying issue for me: The Bluetooth connection to the phone get's lost quite often and can not be reestablished. Sometime just the control of the app from the control steering control wheel is not working anymore - sometime the whole connection between bike and app is lost. You have to unpair and repair the device which takes quite some time. And it happens more often than what is acceptable.

Thank you Alex. Mine id doing the same thing. Have you found a solution? Best!

Good information. For sliding plastic surfaces "Oil" not a great idea a better choice would be silicone lube.

I have used it with iphone 10Pro Max, i moved to 14Pro Max, it's loosing charge, it's charging few seconds and then not charging. Looks like camera bump stops it to seat properly. Someone from BMW forum mentioned there is way to turn off wireless charging and use cable. And BTW, do not try to Mount Galaxy Z-Fold 3/5, it will fall off. It happened to me. Now i am using iPhone 6s with usb cable. :D

My iphone 13 pro's camera stabilization system got messed up after 7000kms use with the bmw cradle... i would use an old phone if i knew this earlier

Hi, I installed my cradle and I while using I do see green light and amber light . What does these 2 lights signify

[@user-rx8dl9we2i]

hi, it is for iPhone 15 pro?

[@mikeratcliffe1671]

How does you charging LED stay on green/charging? Mine goes on and off constantly. Thanks.

Mine never used to do this with an iPhone11 but is doing it with my iPhone15 Plus. I have contacted BMW but they keep telling me my case is being updated but they have been pretty useless. My dealer was no help either. I would like to just switch the charging off and if I need my phone charged I can use a USB cable. Having your phone on constant charge will kill the battery eventually.

Anybody who knows what a blinking LED means? I had the LED on my cradle blinking 3 times red before it went off. But I had it blinking 3 times green before going off also.

Only u can't use it when it's raining . Charging port on phone gets wet stops phone working

[@useless274]

Get cheap usb plugs for your phone. But besides, without a way to disable touch input your phone will become a mess when rain is on the screen

[@useless274]

It really sucks that bmw locks the controls only to their app. other companies (Carpe iter, for example) let you control the whole phone. Not to mention the cradle is completely unnecessary extra complexity, a quadlock setup is a million times more secure and less expensive.

[@ixsmaelable]

I want the cradle just to use google maps. Who cares about that app.

[@skyrocketsdaddy1]

then buy a quad lock mount and charge your phone from the din plug via cable
