Multiple Wireless Phone Chargers

[Harris005]

Done with the days of charging cords! Sure this is being discussed already. My input on it would be multiple wireless charging areas. 1 for driver, 1 for passenger and 1 or even two for backseat passengers. Wireless Apple Car Play/Android Auto. Possibly located in an area out of site...helping enforce use of hands free system. One last thought to possibly avoid: on our current vehicle, the backseat USB port can push music (for example) through the radio. It can be nice from time to time for the kids to play thier music. However, it is more times than not a pain when everyone is listening to something, a kid plugs thier phone in to charge, and thier music app starts playing thier music. An on/off function for this, or having to select a device would be better. This wireless charger in the headrest for the backseat passengers would be a plus too...allowing kids to place their phones there to charge and be able to watch Netflix or YouTube for example.

Agreed. I also like that i or the kids can watch Disney + while waiting in the carpool line or at a charging station. Although most charging visits are to short to watch anything!

The wireless Carplay or AA is a no-brainer.

The multiple wireless charging areas is a great idea.

I'd ask though, as I know in Uconnect in our Jeep, that we can go into the setting and disconnect the device. It doesn't stop it from throwing things for a loop for about a minute, but it's possible.

Wondering with an EV if these wireless chargers can always have power to them...even when the vehicle is parked? From time to time I'll have a phone going dead at the end of the day, hop in the truck to go meet the wife for dinner somewhere, and want to leave my phone in the truck to charge. Problem being with modern ICE vehicles they automatically shut off after 10 minutes. It would be nice to not have to worry with this and continue charging phone whenever you run in somewhere. If the phone was forgotten about, it would only be borrowing enough juice to get to a 100% charge anyway.
