I'm going to see if I can get away with just grinding a little plastic off the stock cradle.
Looks like the clamp needs to slide roughly 15-20mm more to fit the 12 Pro Max.
Right now there are plastic stops in the tray that keep it from going any further.
And yes, I've noticed that every inductive charging iPhone I've had (X, XS, 11 Pro)
got warm in the charger. I have an Element fire extinguisher within easy reach.
The main reason why I want to use the stock cradle is that it sends the phone's signal to the
external antenna through a signal booster ("LTE-Compensator"). Another reason
is that the stock clamp holds the phone down really well. No issue on track days.
