Sterling Heights‑based Jvis USA LLC will supply its in‑vehicle wireless charging for consumer electronics to three Chrysler Group LLC models as part of the automaker’s Mopar division.

The 2013 Dodge Dart will be the first vehicle to offer Jvis’ station. The two other vehicles have not been announced.

The in‑vehicle charging station is capable of charging the iPhone, Android
and Blackberry smartphones as well as some MP3 players.

Jvis’ station charges the device when it comes into contact with the charger, which will be in the center stack area of the vehicle.

A phone case is required and included in the $199.99 option.

Jvis employs more than 1,000 at its 18 locations in five countries. The interiors supplier has four Michigan
locations: a warehouse in Shelby Township, a tool and die shop in Sterling Heights and plants in Clinton Township and Benton Harbor.

It’s one thing when a company toots it’s own horn, but it’s quite another when one of their customers toots it for them. We received this letter the other day from Nissan, one of our most valued customers. In it, they recognize the high quality of work that we do, and renew their commitment to do business with us into the future.

We are honored to and humbled to be able to share this with you.

JVIS just launched it’s newly updated Web site. This version included many new updates, including a switch to the WordPress platform from the Drupal platform. The site will continue to use the services of iCanlocalize for multiple language translations. WordPress won the CMS of the Year award in 2009, and is by far the most widely used Content Management System (CMS) in existence.

Many new features will be added that were not present in the old site, and updates will be faster and easier. We hope you like the new face of JVIS and hope you’ll join our newsletter; see the sign-up on the right!
