Has anyone experienced very poor performance and overheating issue with Qi Charging Pad on CX-5?
I’ve got new CX-5 2023 MHEV since July and I noticed that my phone gets very hot when I put it on the charging pad and the charging performance is exceptionally poor despite the LED is green which indicates fast charging.
When my phone is connected to car infotainment through wireless CarPlay, the phone gets very hot and usually in less than an hour charging is interrupted, and the LED is flashing red then. During this time in the best case the battery charge remains at the same level or is slowly depleting.
Last weekend I had a long drive and decided to give a try pairing my phone through regular Bluetooth connection instead of CarPlay. The situation wasn’t much different. My phone was getting hot and from time to time charging had to be interrupted so the LED was changing its colour from solid green or amber to flashing red and back.
Surprisingly, I have noticed that even in this case the real charging performance was very poor – it gained not more than 3% - 5% within an hour of charging in fast mode.
I have been experiencing this problem with iPhone 8 Plus and now with iPhone 15.
I wonder whether it is something wrong with the charging pad in my car or it is a common issue and we need to push Mazda to sort it out.
