So since you have your car now, have you tried out the wireless charging as yet. I bought a cheap one from Amazon and it sucks.
iPhone 6S+ dosn't fit in cradle.

Is there a removable adapter to accommodate larger phones?

Yeah but + is still only one with optical zoom

I wish I was getting my + tomorrow. I order jet black and apparently it will not ship until sometime in November. My wife is getting her Rose Gold + tomorrow though. So now I'm stuck waiting on an LBB M2 and my phone ?

Can we take this adapter out? It just takes up space. I have no need for wireless charging as long as I can plug into a usb port. I still have an iPhone 4s on its original battery!

I don't understand why they make the wireless charging case for the plus size but it doesn't fit

7 Series?

Maybe BMW thinks that people who like smaller cars like smaller phones?

Yeah the charger in the 7 is a better design. Does the regular iPhone 7 fit. I have a friend with an X3 with a cradle and her iPhone 6s doesn't fit.

The cradle can hold a phone larger than a 6s for sure.

Is there anyway to delete this feature on the car? Not a fan of induction charging and can use the extra space for storage

Yes, you can remove it and replace it with the rubber mat that comes with the car when you don't have the phone warmer optioned [1].

That's what I did with my car, see [2].

There are some instructions on how to pop it off here [3], but I personally could not pry it off like that and had better luck removing the center console rear vents and pushing it from there.
