It’s never fun to fiddle with wires when it’s time to charge your smartphone or other device, but fiddling with wires in a car while driving can be downright dangerous. Having to fight wires can get very annoying, but thankfully there are a number of inductive charging systems on the market that allow you to simply place your device on a charge plate when you need more power. Some of these wireless charging cradles use Qi technology.
Car electronics manufacturer Audiovox has announced a new product category at CES 2013. The company has unveiled its first automotive wireless charging cradle with embedded Qi technology. The automotive charging cradle uses the Qi Multi Litz Coil Array.
That particular coil array is designed to deliver more freedom of positioning for Qi equipped smartphones to maximize the charge speed. The wireless charging cradle has a stylish and rugged design that will be available in four different colors to allow users to choose the color that goes along with the vehicle. The charging cradle features a universal design with locking arms.
Audiovox says that the design will hold most smartphones. The charge cradle also features a design that is optimized for heat dissipation, capacitive sensing to activate charging, and features an LED charge indicator. The charge indicator makes it easier to see when the phone is getting power. The system ships with an automotive 12 V adapter and two mounting options are available. Those two mounting options include a suction cup and a cup holder mount. Audiovox is targeting a price of under $70 plus the selected mounting system with availability set for the summer.

Voxx combining broadcast TV with Roku in Q4 2013, working with RCA and Terk
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Roku may have lots of streaming content as is, but that doesn’t always compare with what’s on broadcast television. Voxx Accessories (formerly Audiovox) sees this problem too, but rather than just pointing it out idly (like us!), the accessory maker claims it has a fix. That solution includes an integrated digital antenna, creating a solution that pulls in broadcast TV (read: “over-the-air local HD broadcasts”), plus the features of Roku’s Streaming Stick. We won’t see the fruition of those efforts until late 2013, and when it does arrive, it’ll come in collaboration with RCA and Terk (as seen in the first two product images above). The only bad thing we can find about this mashup of old school OTA and the latest in IPTV? That it’s not here yet.

Audiovox Electronics Corporation has announced that its new Car Connection telematics device is now available in retail stores around the country. The Car Connection is a small dongle that plugs into the vehicle OBD2 port and allows drivers to monitor, manage, and maintain vehicle health and numerous other things.
The Car Connection device allows the user to keep an eye on vehicle health, driving habits, location, and even offers the ability to restrict cell phone usage while driving. The Car Connection device uses the Sprint wireless network in the US and offers real-time monitoring capability through OmniLink. The Car Connection device will roll out to retailers across the country during Q4 2012.
The device is designed to use an interface that is accessible from laptops, tablets, or smartphones allowing the monitoring of driving habits and vehicle location. The system allows drivers and parents to set up Safety Zones using geo-fences to monitor where teenage drivers are and to assist in stolen vehicle recovery.
The device also has a Lot Spot feature that helps you find your vehicle in a crowded parking lot. The device requires a service plan with one option at $9.95 per month plus a $19.95 one-time activation fee. The yearly plan is also available and $89.95 per year with the same $19.95 activation fee. The device can limit cell phone use as far as voice calls while the vehicle is operating, and it can also eliminate the driver’s ability to text from behind the wheel. The Car Connection will cost $169.99.
