If you wanted to support their previous crowd-funded product but were unable to do so, now is your chance to do so. The makers of Air Dock, the wireless mobile device charging station built for your car have now come up with an updated version with more mounting options and better features as well. Unsurprisingly, it’s called Air Dock 2.0, and it’s once gain asking for your support through IndieGoGo.
If this is the first time you’ve heard of Air Dock, it’s a device that you mount on your car and uses Qi inductive charging technology that transfers energy between your smartphone and the dock itself. For mounting purposes, it uses nano suction foam so there is no need for clamps or wires to attach your phone. You simply place it on the dock. For version 2.0, there are now four mounting options. You have a standard mount for smooth surfaces, another one for textured surfaces, a long flexible mount that can be bent into many positions, and a CD mount, for when your car’s CD player is useless and instead you can use it to mount the Air Dock.
There are other changes in Air Dock 2.0 and that includes a new Qi transmitter that lets you use thicker phone cases because it now has a longer charging range. It is now also NFC-enabled so you can now trigger events on your smartphone using the Air Dock. Design-wise, it also has several improvements like relocating the USB port and making it thinner.
There are 57 days left in their campaign where they have to reach $85,000 to start the production of the Air Dock 2.0. The earliest estimated delivery date is February 2015, so if you want your car to have this charging dock by then, better support this project through IndieGoGo.
