Did the snap-in connectors change at some point ?
I’ve found this but it doesn’t say it fits the E89

I’m pretty sure anything bigger than an IPhone 5 won’t fit in an adaptor.

Nice car btw, space grey really suits the E89.

I got my iPhone 8 Max in the snap-in tray in my 440i
I'm wondering if there are different snap in trays or they're all the same

I can't find any info on whether the phone cradle is usable with new phones - can I buy a cradle that fits into it to charge my iPhone 12 ?

No

OK guys, having done loads of reaserch this very week on these snap-in adaptors (future video will be on my channel, eventually!), here's what I've found that may well help......

Firstly the link that gremlin has found for the wireless chargeing adaptor will work for iPhones and Android that have wireless charging, but....... for plus size phones then you need a little extended clip, so take a look at this video on what to do.....

There are loads of different adaptors for various phone types, but only so far, now they sell universal types that fit later phones which come with either a Lightning end, Micro USB or USB C ends depending what you want to fit, then there is the wireless charge version above.

Hope that helps.

Oh, don't go breaking anything, I'll be writing a How-To on how to remove them properly withoug breakage very soon

Spot on!
I ordered a wireless adapter yesterday and I’ve printed out the part I’ll need to allow it to work with a larger phone.

So I’ll be giving it a go this week hopefully

OK well you will be replacing the current snap-in adaptor base with this wireless base, but don't go trying to force it out from above, I highly recommend removing the whole centre console and then releasing it from below.

I show how to remove the centre console in this video....

That's really good of you to offer Dave - I can't make it this weekend sadly.

Have you tried to fit this yet? Just wondering how you got on?

It’s not arrived from Poland yet …
The Apple CarPlay interface has arrived from Ali express - I’ll do both in one sitting probably!
