Chrysler launches first in-car wireless charger
By Carsguide team Carsguide10 April 2012 EmailPrint+- Charging is available while the car is running, and is able to juice up a range of devices Chrysler will be the first car company to offer wireless charging on the go. The Mopar-branded system will appear first on the Dodge Dart, and uses an integrated charging-grid bin installed at the front of the centre console, with charging activated when you place a smartphone fitted with the charging case into the bin. Charging is available while the car is running, and is able to juice up a range of devices including iPhone, Blackberry, MP3 Players and Droid-based devices The new technology will appear as a $200 option on the Dodge Dart as it rolls out in overseas markets from 2013, then progress to other vehicles in the Chrysler stable. "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."

Hmmm, seeing the negatives on this I question what the electromagnetic field will cause in the form of problems.
Besides the fact that older things actually heat up using this technology, in which I assume quite a few ill-informed people will leave their phone there, go shopping and come back to a nice and toasty car that has a new paint job. Otherwise it seems like a good idea.

Seems like a good idea, although I've got no problem just leaving a car charger sitting in my centre console just in case and using the cig lighter. would come in handy when in areas that I don't know too well and need my gps plugged in, not worth $200 though IMO
