Aircharge's iPhone wireless integration in BMW's 2017 range
Aircharge and the BMW Group have signed a global deal to provide customised Wireless Charging Cases for iPhone to be used in the new in-car wireless ecosystem, which debuted in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan earlier this year.
With Apple yet to launch a smartphone with the wireless charging function integrated into its hardware, the German carmaker went to Aircharge instead.
The 2017 BMW 5 Series is the first car on the market to be released with a completely wireless infotainment solution, meaning iPhones are able to wirelessly integrate with the BMW iDrive system by connecting to the car over Bluetooth instead of through a traditional Lightning cable.
