LOS ANGELES, CA (06.30.26) – Pioneer, a global leader in in-vehicle sound and aftermarket car electronics, introduces its first collection of automotive accessories that marks the brand’s expansion beyond car audio. By introducing a high-performance lineup of USB cables, car chargers, and magnetic smartphone cradles, Pioneer is evolving beyond traditional audio to serve drivers at every touchpoint in the vehicle. Each product is strictly “Built for the Drive,” engineered to withstand the unique rigors of the automotive environment including intense temperature fluctuations, constant road vibrations, and the daily demands that generic accessories simply weren’t designed to handle.
“For over 80 years, Pioneer has been at the forefront of in-vehicle technology, from the world’s first car CD player to today’s most advanced in-dash receivers,” said Larry Rougas, EVP & Chief Revenue Officer at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “This collection is the next step in that journey. As we expand our presence across the full vehicle experience, we are bringing the same precision and engineering discipline that defines our audio products to a category that drivers rely on every day.”
MAGNETIC SMARTPHONE CRADLES BUILT FOR THE DRIVE
Pioneer’s new smartphone cradle lineup offers three models to match every driver’s needs, from a clean mount-only solution to a premium wireless charging cradle with active thermal management. All three feature a strong magnetic grip with an included metal ring for smartphones, a 360-degree swivel mount, and a compact air vent design that keeps the driver’s sightline clear.
The Magnetic Cradle is a straightforward solution for drivers who want a secure, easy-to-use phone mount without charging. Its effortless magnetic attachment and release make grabbing and stowing a phone completely one-handed, even while on the move.
Moving up to the Premium Qi2 Wireless Charging Magnetic Cradle adds Qi2-compliant wireless charging to the same magnetic mount platform. It includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and features a blue LED indicator, delivering fast, reliable wireless charging through a clean, minimal design.
The range-topping Premium Qi2 Wireless Charging Magnetic Cradle with Cooling builds on the standard model with two key upgrades: an integrated cooling fan that maintains optimal charging speeds during heavy use, and an RGB LED ring that can be customized to match any interior. It is Pioneer’s most capable cradle and the flagship of the new lineup.
DUAL-PORT CHARGING FOR THE MODERN DRIVER
The Compact Dual-Port Fast Car Charger brings high-speed, dual-port charging to any vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. Despite its small footprint, it delivers 38W of total output power through dual 20W USB-C Power Delivery and 18W USB-A quick charger ports, allowing for simultaneous rapid charging of two mobile devices. It features an integrated blue LED USB-A port for easy nighttime location. Its compact, flush-fit design sits cleanly in the socket without protruding into the cabin, maintaining the clean look of modern vehicle interiors. Like all products in the lineup, it is tested to operate reliably in extreme vehicle cabin temperatures and is compatible with 12V and 24V vehicles.
The Premium High-Output Dual-Port Car Charger is Pioneer’s premier power hub, delivering a massive 63W total output designed for power-hungry hardware. This model features a dedicated 45W USB-C Power Delivery port capable of fueling laptops and tablets, alongside a secondary 18W USB-A port for simultaneous smartphone charging. Encased in a robust, high-density housing with a signature blue LED illumination ring, it is engineered to maintain peak stability in extreme cabin temperatures.
USB CABLES ENGINEERED FOR THE VEHICLE
The new lineup launches with two families of Pioneer-branded USB cables, each built from materials selected specifically for the tight spaces, temperature swings, and daily handling demands of a car cabin.
The USB Cable (USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C) is constructed from soft silicone for a comfortable, tangle-resistant grip that withstands repeated use in confined spaces. It supports wired CarPlay and Android Auto, with the USB-C to USB-C variant adding USB Power Delivery for up to 60W fast charging.
The Premium Illuminated USB Cable (USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C) adds a blue LED indicator at the connector, making the cable easy to locate in a dark interior without distracting the driver. Built with braided nylon mesh, it delivers the same CarPlay and fast-charging performance in a more elevated finish that complements modern car interiors.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The full car accessories lineup is available to purchase through Pioneer’s website and Amazon, with prices starting from $20.
