 Audiovox , a leader in the marketing of automotive entertainment, vehicle security and consumer electronics products announced the addition of even more systems to their ever expanding list of products, while existing lines continue to show growth.
The new Rock-n-Road portable navigation system features XM Satellite radio and real-time traffic capability. The Audiovox XM Direct2 works with any satellite ready head unit by simply flashing software while Superior Range Technology security products continue to thrive. NVXM1000 Called “Rock-n-Road”, the NVXM1000 tops the Company’s GPS line up. A full featured NAV system with a powerful 8GB hard-drive memory delivers full U.S. and Canada mapping plus over 11 million Points of Interest on a 4-inch color touch screen. You get turn-by-turn voice prompts in 12 languages, powered by a built-in rechargeable Li-Poly battery. There is also an optional rear-view camera to check blind spots as you back out of a driveway or in a parking lot and an FM modulator allows for use of the vehicle’s speakers for instructions or programming.
In addition the unit is XM Mini Tuner ready with its built-in slot, designed to accept the Mini- Tuner with no additional wiring. Simply pop in the optional XM Mini-Tuner and “Rock-n-Road” switches from a GPS system to a full XM system with all 170 XM channels plus XM Real-Time Traffic broadcasts that provide updated information on road conditions for optimum driving. The same Mini-Tuner that brings XM to this portable NAV system also can bring it to your home and all for one subscription fee. MSRP for the NVXM1000 is $799.99. Note: XM Mini Tuner sold separately. Real-Time Traffic through XM and available only in cities where XM broadcasts reports. Requires XM subscription and requires living in a city that has a traffic station.
 XM DIRECT2
XM Direct 2 allows users to listen to 170 channels of XM Radio through their satellite-ready car stereo. It is the only “flashable” SDA in the market, which means it works with any satellite-ready head unit from Alpine, Clarion, Eclipse, Jensen, JVC, Kenwood, Panasonic, and Sony, by just flashing software. Retailers simply download and/or update the latest software via a dedicated XM Direct2 website as head unit technology continues to evolve and new manufacturers add XM capability to their radios. The website will be refreshed monthly with new software applications.
XM Direct2 utilizes the 2006 CEA Innovation Award Winning, XM Mini-Tuner, a portable solution that allows the user to move his subscription to access XM’s 170-plus digital channels of music, sports, talk and entertainment. The XM Direct2 goes from the vehicle’s XM or SAT ready car stereo head unit, to any XM-Ready home stereo product or the Nexus XM2go portable radio.
“The XM Direct2 was designed for the consumer who wants satellite radio but does not want an additional radio or control panel in their vehicle. The XM Direct2 provides an OEM-type professional and ‘clean’ installation of XM satellite Radio through the vehicle’s SAT ready car radio.
 SUPERIOR RANGE TECHNOLOGY
One year after introducing its breakthrough line of SRT (Superior Range Technology) vehicle security products with high-tech OLED features, Joe Dentamaro, VP Vehicle Security and Tracking, reports steady growth and sales at retail and a continuation of reorders from his dealers. “We knew that our SRT products featuring the hottest transmitters in our company’s history would be well received by our retailers and their customers. And the bonus feature of OLED just pushed this line over the top.”
The SRT products start with the SRT9000 Command Confirming Vehicle Security and Remote Start System with one-mile range and OLED display transmitter. It also features Progressive and Car Find that allows the driver to easily find his vehicle in a parking lot and valet functions which make it safe to leave your car and not have it compromised by the valet. MSRP - $899.99.
