Hyundai vehicles now offer advanced technology options, including the convenience of in-car wireless charging. Hyundai Wireless Charging allows drivers and passengers to charge their Qi-enabled devices inside the car without the hassle of tangled cables or plugs.

What Is Hyundai Wireless Charging?

Hyundai's in-car wireless charging system represents a significant step forward in automotive convenience technologies, integrating the universal Qi wireless charging standard within the vehicle's design. This system is specifically engineered to enhance the in-car experience by providing an efficient, cable-free method for charging mobile devices.

Technical Overview

The Qi standard, developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, is crucial because it ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices. Hyundai's system uses an induction coil to create an electromagnetic field from the vehicle's power source. When a compatible device is placed on the charging pad, which is embedded in the center console or within the central armrest, another induction coil in the device receives this electromagnetic field. It converts it back into electrical current to charge the battery.

Design and Location

Hyundai strategically places the Hyundai Wireless Charging pad to maximize accessibility and ease of use. Typically, it is integrated into the center console or the central armrest, locations easily accessible by both the driver and front passenger. This placement makes it simple to start charging but also helps reduce distractions, as the device can be set down and left to charge without further handling.

Hyundai's wireless charging is especially suited for today's fast-paced lifestyle, where maintaining a charged device is crucial for connectivity and access to services. It reflects Hyundai's commitment to integrating innovative technologies that enhance the convenience and functionality of its vehicles, making everyday driving a more connected and enjoyable experience.

How Does It Work?

The charging system is straightforward: a wireless charging pad receives power from the vehicle's battery and converts it into a wireless charging signal. This is then transmitted to the device through electromagnetic induction, allowing cable-free charging. An LED light on the console typically indicates the charging status, turning from blue to red or amber to signal active charging​ (YouTube)​.

How to Use Hyundai Wireless Charging

Using the wireless charging feature in a Hyundai is quite simple:

  1. Press the power button on or near the charging pad to activate it.
  2. Place your Qi-enabled device directly on the charging pad.
  3. Ensure no metal objects are on the pad, which can interfere with the charging process.
  4. The indicator light will show when the device is charging​ (YouTube)​​ (Hyundai How-Tos)​.
