When I get my phone I'll try to figure out if it's possible.

(I thought about tearing out the cradle and replacing it with a MagSafe charger under a BMW OEM "mat" tray.
Then I read that the cradle isn't just a charger. It connects the phone to the external antenna
and also boosts the signal with an LTE Compensator. So the stock cradle stays.)
Be sure to know exactly what you're getting into. I was all about the mod and it was one of the first thing I did when I got my car. And let me tell you, people weren't lying when they said the phone gets hot! This is especially true when you're running CarPlay while charging. I went back to stock and stuck with a USB charger in the end.
