Of all the UK spec cars, only the 1st Edition does not have wireless phone charging.
The overheating has been discussed here - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=703
Wireless charging generates heat anyway and if the phone is being used for CarPlay and music it will get hotter still.
In general however I have found that the level of charge provided is relatively tiny even when phone is not in use.

I have found putting the iPhone in with the speaker end facing the top of the opening helps dissipate some the heat that is created by the combination of wireless charging and wireless CarPlay. Still gets warm but stops it cutting out for me

I was surprised by this (well when a Qi charge icon on a notification popped up) as all the documentation for the Family Pro Performance didn’t make any mention of it at all.
