I trust if my phone wasn’t connected to the car I’d be able to charge it and it wouldn’t shut down, but not because the car “cooled it” as the ad says, just because it’d warm up due to normal charging.

Curious as to the Android: if it’s being used for Android Auto, can you still charge wireless with success after an hour or so?
Good to know, yeah it certainly *should* be able to keep the phone charged while using CarPlay.

I'm picking up my M2 in 2 weeks so I'll let you know how it holds up on the road trip back. Fingers crossed it's marginally better than the iPhone. But when I ordered it I was pretty confident it might not end up being too useful.
