What is the Difference Between Pre-installed and Aftermarket Automotive Equipment?
1 Answers
Pre-installed refers to the wireless charging device that comes with the car before it leaves the factory, usually located in the central storage box or armrest compartment. Simply place your phone on the charging device to charge. Aftermarket, on the other hand, involves adding an additional device like a car mount to achieve wireless charging. The installation position is not fixed and can be placed on the air vent, car dashboard, or attached to the windshield using a suction cup. Wireless Technology: Pre-installed automotive wireless charging technology comes from wireless charging solution providers who supply solutions to car manufacturers. As a qualified pre-installed wireless charger, having wireless charging certification is just the foundation. It must also meet stringent automotive-grade hardware standards, with specific requirements for operating temperature range, waterproofing, dustproofing, etc. Certifications: This includes a series of strict requirements such as the E-Mark certification for the automotive industry, IATF16949 factory system, EMC certification, etc. These standards are often rigorous, costly, and time-consuming, which is why there are few wireless charging manufacturers capable of entering the pre-installed market due to unmet certification requirements.
