Toyota North America has announced the 2013 Toyota Avalon Limited will be the first vehicle in the world to be available with in-car wireless phone charging capability.
The Toyota Avalon�??s in-console Qi wireless charging system, available for Qi�?"enabled mobile phones and devices, is located on a charging pad integrated into the car�??s �??ebin�?? (electronic bin) sliding lid.
With Qi being a global standard for wireless power and charging, any Qi-enabled device can be charged on the pad simply by resting on it, regardless of the device�??s brand or manufacturer. The charging pad can also be switched on and off by a switch found inside the ebin.
Toyota says that while many new mobile phones feature built-in Qi wireless charging capabilities, those that aren�??t are often able to become compatible with a simple aftermarket case or backing.
The 2013 Toyota Avalon hit US showrooms at the beginning of December. The Avalon is not sold in Australia, with the locally made� Toyota Aurion filling its role in the local range.
