The Future of In-Car Charging: Choosing the Perfect Wireless Car Charger
The days of fumbling with messy cables and outdated charging docks are over when you opt for a wireless car charger. No longer is this instrumental accessory reserved only for the latest model electronic vehicles. The wireless charging capabilities allow you to power up your device anytime, anywhere, and in any model vehicle.
There are a multitude of non-factory fitted vehicle accessories, such as the wireless car charger, that are available online and in stores. However, there are no guarantees when it comes to quality and fitment. Our experts at Electronic Fitment Centre would urge you to do a little bit of research before investing in an item that may not be as perfect as you think.
Charging Your Phone on the Go with a Wireless Car Charger
We won’t bore you with all the technical specifications that make a wireless car charger work. We would rather expand on several benefits and what you should be aware of before installing it yourself.
Convenience
This is possibly the biggest advantage of a wireless car charger. If your daily routine has you running errands or popping in to see numerous customers, you no longer have to worry about charging your phone between visits to keep the battery going. All you need to do is place your phone onto the charging pad and your phone will charge while you drive.
Limits Distractions
By simply placing your phone on the pad instead of wrestling with plug-in charging devices whilst driving, you are less distracted, thereby keeping your concentration where it needs to be – on the road.
Less Wear and Tear
Constant plugging in and out when charging can weaken the cord. As there are no physical connecting points, there is less wear and tear on charging ports.
A Bit of Cautionary Advice
Here is a bit of cautionary advice before you proceed:
Even though most wireless car chargers are compatible with multiple phones and devices, if they do not support the same wireless charging standard, for example, Qi, it won’t work. Make sure that your phone is compatible before having a charger fitted.
The convenience of this modern piece of technology comes with a bit of a downside, and that is, that it doesn’t charge as quickly.
Our DIY installation kit includes all the wiring and fuses you will need. As simplistic as the installation is for us, as a DIYer, it may present a challenge if the placement behind a flat panel and wiring is not done correctly.
As a parting word of advice, remember that it is against the law to operate a mobile device whilst driving. As your road safety is important to us, consider including a Bluetooth kit so that you can take care of charging and talking while keeping your hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. For professional installation at affordable prices, contact us at Electronic Fitment Centre and we will fit your wireless car charger while you wait.
