Respectfully, I'd consider another option before you go spending a ton of money on a dedicated console insert. I've been an EV tech for years, and in my experience, the heat issue with the iPhone+14+Pro+isn&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">iPhone 14 Pro isn't just the pad—it is the camera bump and the Qi coil alignment. The EQB's factory pad doesn't allow the phone to sit flush, which creates an air gap that literally cooks the battery because of induction inefficiency.

Instead of a high-speed pad that’ll just generate *more* heat, I'd suggest a MagSafe mount that gets the phone out of that cubby entirely. Here is why it's better for the EQB layout:

1. **Active Cooling**: Most fast-charging pads are passive. In a tight center console, there is zero airflow. If you use something like the ESR Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Car Charger with CryoBoost, it has a built-in fan that actually pulls heat away from the glass back of the iPhone.
2. **Coil Alignment**: MagSafe magnets ensure the coils are perfectly centered. This reduces the wasted energy that turns into heat.
3. **Mounting**: I've tried many, and the LISEN MagSafe Car Mount for Mercedes-Benz Accessories fits the EQB/GLB vents perfectly without blocking the screen or looking like a mess of wires.

If you really want to keep it in the cubby, look at the Carqiwireless Wireless Charger for Mercedes Benz GLB EQB 2020-2024. It replaces the tray and is rated for 15W, but honestly... even with that, you might still deal with thermal throttling because of how Apple manages charging over 80%. Just some food for thought before you pull the trigger! 👍

> It seems to charge incredibly slowly, and my iPhone 14 Pro gets quite hot Unfortunately, the EQB center console setup is not as good as expected when it comes to basic thermal management. Before looking at specific specs, I gotta ask: are you using a case on that 14 Pro, or is it bare? The precise thickness of the TPU or leather makes a huge difference in the thermal threshold for the induction coils. Ngl this reminds me of when my cousin tried to DIY a custom cooling rig for his GLE. He was totally convinced he could bypass the factory limits and ended up tearing his entire console apart to wire in these tiny high-RPM fans. It turned into a whole ordeal... he accidentally shorted a pin on the CAN bus and the car had to be towed because it wouldnt even recognize the key anymore. Just a massive mess that cost him way more than a simple cable would have. He never actually got the charging to work right anyway and the dealership was so annoyed with him.

I'd actually suggest a different approach - honestly, I've seen way too many people try to force a wireless solution in the EQB console and it almost always ends in a heat-related disaster for the battery. From a safety-first perspective, long-term heat exposure is literally the worst thing for your iPhone's lithium-ion health, and those high-speed pads generate a ton of it when they're tucked away in that cubby without proper airflow.

I've been messing with EV tech for years and here’s my take on the options:

1. Stick with the pad vs. Wired charging: I know we all hate cables, but if you're doing long trips with nav running, a high-quality USB-C cable is the only way to get 15W+ reliably without the thermal throttling. It keeps the phone way cooler and protects your battery life in the long run.
2. Console inserts vs. A-pillar mounts: The inserts look clean, but they trap heat. If you really want a MagSafe-style setup, I'd look for a mount that clips to the dash or vent. Getting the phone out of that closed-in front cubby and into the cabin air makes a massive difference.
3. Case choice: Honestly, half the time it's the case. If you're using a thick one, you're basically insulating the heat.

I tried a custom insert myself but ended up going back to a short, braided cable tucked neatly along the side. It's not as "invisible," but it's much safer for the hardware and actually hits those fast charging speeds you're looking for. Just something to consider before you drop cash on another pad that might just overheat anyway! gl!

Sooo I totally feel u on the factory charger struggle. I just got my EQB a few months ago and realized pretty quickly that the built-in pad is basically a space heater for my phone lol. It’s seriously frustrating when it cuts out right when you need the nav! Tbh I'm still a bit of a beginner with the whole EV accessory world, but I've been experimenting with a few setups.

IIRC, some people on other forums mentioned that the EQB cubby is basically the same as the GLB, so that might help your search! Here is what I’m currently trying out:

- I started using a MagSafe-style puck that I literally just double-sided taped into the front bin. It’s not the most professional look, but it keeps the iPhone 14 Pro from sliding during corners.
- I plugged it into the USB-C port with a high-speed adapter. It seems to stay way cooler than the Merc pad, probably cuz of the magnets aligning it better?
- Be careful with the cable length though, if it’s too long it gets tangled in the cupholders.

Not 100% sure if there's a perfect custom-fit insert yet, but this setup works way better for me so far! gl!
