Wireless In-Car Charging Comes to Chrysler Vehicles This Year

Chrysler recently announced the advent of yet another in-car system aimed at making drivers' lives simpler. In-car charging of electronic devices is nothing new, but now drivers won't have to fuss with pesky wires and plugging things in. The American automaker's parts division, Mopar, has introduced wireless charging. This simple system will first be available on the new 2013 Dodge Dart. In the front center console, there will be a small charging grid, upon which consumers can place their personal devices. The batteries will be charged and drivers won't need to worry about buying the appropriate car chargers for their devices.

"At Mopar, we look for every single opportunity to make our customers' lives easier," said Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC's service, parts and customer-care brand. "Our industry-first in-vehicle wireless charging system is the perfect solution for those connected customers who are always on the go."

This new technology will not just be available in the Dodge Dart, but once it makes its way to the marketplace, drivers may be able to have the technology installed in their used vehicles as well. Many cars manufactured in recent years are equipped with USB ports and other options to make in-car charging of handheld devices easy, and there are plenty of easy-to-install aftermarket devices available as well.

Drivers looking for a modern, affordable ride can head to New Jersey State Auto Auction to check out the wide selection of used vehicles. Many used cars are only a few years old and have plenty of technology features, such as infotainment systems, Bluetooth connectivity and more.
