Default Phone overheating inside console

When using CarPlay on my iPhone to navigate sometimes the phone gets extremely hot and starts to slow down and glitch. The only solution I’ve found is to take the phone out of the console and sit it on the passenger seat to cool down. Has anyone come up with a clever solution or usb powered cooler to put under the phone in the console?

I use a longer cable and put my phone in the passenger footwell net; personally hate trying to connect and place my iphone in the center console.

I have never had my phone slow down/glitch, but I have noticed on a handful of occasions that its burning hot when I take it out.

I use the T-Designs magnetic mount. FWziW the phone in my wife's wireless charger on her BMW gets very hot.
