Audi has brought out a new iPhone case that enables wireless in-car charging.

The new wireless charging case works in conjunction with its optional Audi Phone Box connection and charging system. 

When the Qi-enabled cover is fitted to the latest iPhone 6 and 6s models they can simply be placed in the centre console to start the charging process, without the need to plug in a separate cable via the USB port. 

This feature also works outside of the car on any base station that also has Qi functionality. 

Branded with the four Audi rings on the front and rear, the case has a light, slimline design that allows unhindered operation of the iPhone’s camera lens and flash, headphone port, speakers and sensors. 

The small Qi receiver clip on the bottom of the case can also be easily removed to allow full access to the lightning port for charging on the move.  

Featuring a lacquered polycarbonate finish that is robust and durable, the case also protects against light knocks and light scratches. It is Apple MFi certified, having met the required performance standards. 

The Audi wireless charging case for iPhone 6 and 6s requires Audi Phone Box to be installed in the car to function. 

Available to order as a standalone option from £325 or as part of the Technology Pack on a host of new models, Audi Phone Box also boosts phone signal quality, depending on reception, when a handset is paired by creating a wireless connection to the vehicle’s aerial. 

Another convenient feature is the additional Bluetooth interface, which allows two mobile phones – a work phone and personal phone, for example – to connect to the car simultaneously.

The cover can be purchased now from any Audi Centre for £35 ($45), and is also available to order online now via the Audi merchandise store. 

Audi Phone Box is already compatible with a wide range of Qi-enabled mobile phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy or Nokia Lumia series, without the need for a separate case.
