Wireless phone charging is coming to the dashboard
Automotive accessory specialist ACV is extending its 2015 product program with a cutting edge technology highlight: Inbay provides convenient and safe wireless smartphone charging in the vehicle.
The search for the right charging cable in glove boxes, briefcases or hand bags becomes history: ACV’s Inbay wireless charging station fuels smartphone batteries with new energy by means of resonant inductive coupling. The revolutionary charging station finds its place in practically every cup holder – and soon in various vehicle-specific storage compartments in the automotive cockpit.
Inbay is Qi compatible and can be used with a vast range of iOS and Android phones: The Qi standard is facilitating interoperability of chargers by implementing resonant inductive coupling between (energy-) transmitter and receiver. The Qi standard makes it possible to provide a universal charging interface to various smartphone brands and types. In practice, this means no more hassle in looking for the right charging cable when different cell phones are in use. Inductive charging means that a transmission coil, powered by a high-frequency AC, builds up a magnetic field which inducts the power into a second coil in the Qi standardized smartphone from where it passes into the battery. Non-compatible smartphones can easily be retro-fitted by a special protective shell (Wireless Charging Case) for iPhone 5 / 5s (also available soon for iPhone 6) or wireless charger modules (for Samsung Galaxy S3 / S4 / S5 / Note2 / Note3).
One fits all: The universal Inbay charging station comes as an insert for in-car cup holders. It is suitable for any vehicle with an appropriate holder. The mobile phone will be charged wirelessly whenever deposited there.
Inbay itself is power-supplied via USB or connection to the electrical system in the car by a converter.
