A notification system for notification of a vehicle operator that an electronic device is in a bin when a triggering event occurs includes a bin, a charging device for charging the electronic device when the electronic device is in the bin, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the charging device and includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions to provide a notification to the vehicle operator when the electronic device is in the bin and the triggering event occurs. The triggering event may be a transition of a vehicle electrical power system to an ignition off mode. The charging device may be an inductive charging device.

Phone left in bin notification system and method

A portable device recharging system includes a base unit generating an electromagnetic field. A portable device includes a rechargeable battery inductively charged by the electromagnetic field. Spacers are disposed between the portable device and the base unit. The spacers support the portable device and maintain an air gap between the base unit and the portable device.

Apparatus for inductive charging of portable devices in vehicles

A thermal conditioning system for an inductive charging system. An open enclosure charging unit includes at least one surface generating an electromagnetic field for inductively charging a portable device. A primary conduit coupled to the open enclosure charging unit. The primary conduit outputs conditioned air to the open enclosure charging unit. The conditioned air output by the primary conduit maintains a temperature of the portable device at a predetermined temperature range within the open enclosure charging unit.
