Wireless phone charging in cars at 2013
Charge your smartphone while driving could soon be a simple process requires no cables or adapters, but uses a special wireless mat.
Toyota plans to make the system for mobile devices to launch in 2013 its new Avalon sedan, using a load standard, known as Qi (pronounced "chee").
Chrysler wants a similar approach in his Dodge Dart model.
One analyst told the BBC function is probably widespread in the coming months. The wireless charging option will have a share of $ 1,950 (£ 1,200) Toyota "technology package" needs to be said available from next spring.
If you connect a device to recharge, a driver simply placing it on the mat, but the handset has a Qi protocol embedded in it.
Currently Qi wireless charging supported by 34 mobile phone models, including LG Google Nexus 4, Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC Windows Phone 8X.
Magnetic induction
Qi works through magnetic induction, which involves the transfer of energy via a magnetic field.
But in 2008, the Wireless Power Consortium, where more than 100 members, including Samsung, Nokia, HTC, Motorola Mobility and Sony an agreement on an open standard for wireless power called Qi.
This means that any Qi-enabled device is compatible with any Qi charger, regardless of brand.
General Motors announced in 2011 plans to build a road through magnetic induction in its Chevrolet Volt to introduce, but so far it has not happened.
An Israeli company Powermat Technologies, is currently placing charging pad for cell phones in many public places in the U.S., including Starbucks.
There are companies explore wireless induction charging for electric cars, which works by having a loading path on the floor of your garage.
The technology is finally mainstream, says Shaun Collins, analyst at consultancy CCS Insight.
"Wireless charging is emerging after years in the wilderness, and is now believed [more]," he told the BBC.
