Next Generation of OEM Interfaces Enables Bluetooth Hands-Free Streaming Audio 10/29/2008

OXNARD, Calif., (October 29, 2008) - Scosche Industries, an innovator of mobile electronic products and accessories for the aftermarket, announces its BlueFusion OEM (original equipment manufacturer) integration interfaces.  The next generation of OEM interfaces, Scosche's BlueFusion enables Bluetooth hands-free and streaming audio directly on a factory radio. 

"Scosche is proud to bring the future of OEM integration to fruition with our BlueFusion interfaces," said Kas Alves, executive vice president, Scosche Industries. "Along with our stereo replacement and iPod interfaces, Scosche's research and design team has developed a new standard of interfaces with BlueFusion.  Offering consumers the hands-free and wireless capabilities they desire, BlueFusion will lead the market with innovative features."

An innovator of automotive aftermarket Bluetooth accessories, Scosche introduced Bluetooth to the aftermarket community with its BlueLife line of products.  Specifically designed for name branded aftermarket head units, Scosche revolutionized the industry with its Bluetooth products. Scosche is also an industry leader of OEM integration interfaces.  Combining Scosche's successful Bluetooth and OEM integration technologies, it developed BlueFusion to flawlessly add Bluetooth capabilities to a factory head unit while maintaining factory features.

BlueFusion is designed to interface Bluetooth hands-free (HFP) and streaming audio (A2DP) to a consumer's factory radio.  Seamlessly integrating into the factory stereo, Scosche's BlueFusion offers advanced capabilities such as caller ID displayed on a factory screen with easy "answer" and "end call" buttons located on the steering wheel controls or assigned buttons at a factory radio, and voice dialing for a true hands-free solution. Whether listening to a CD or just tuned into a radio station, Scosche's smart interface will switch itself to the correct source to view the caller ID.  The interface menu enables users to check missed calls and dialed calls..

Now users can listen to a phone conversation through the vehicle's speakers with impeccable sound quality.  Scosche's built-in DSP noise and echo cancelling software ensure a crystal clear conversation even in noisy vehicles. 

Additional BlueFusion features include:

• Caller ID on Headunit Display
• BlueTooth 2.0+EDR
• Hands-Free, A2DP
• AVRCP remote control protocol
• DSP Echo & Noise Cancellation
• Audio Signal Plays thru OEM Audio System
• Audio Interrupt/Source Redirect
• Volume Up/Down - Cellphone and Streaming Audio
• Adjustable Cellphone Ringer Volume
• Phone Answer/Aang up
• Mute Microphone
• Hands-free Microphone
• Easy installation

Scosche's BlueFusion is easily installed without cutting or splicing factory wiring and can be done with a simple plug-and-play harness. Simply route the microphone where desired and use Scosche's installation instructions to connect the interface.  Connect an iPod or MP3 player to Scosche BlueLife transmitter and users can stream audio directly to a factory radio connected to BlueFusion.

Scosche's BlueFusion is currently offered for GM (BFGM), Toyota (BGTA) and Honda (BFHA) vehicles. An additional BlueFusion unit (BFECL) is specifically designed to interface with Eclipse brand radios and will fit in most vehicle applications.  Scosche is currently in development to design a comprehensive Universal BlueFusion Integration System scheduled for release in 2009.   BlueFusion is available at specialty retailers across the country.  Stop by and visit Scosche Industries during SEMA 2008 for an advanced look at BlueFusion and Scosche's award winning products and innovations at booth #10517 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.  Scosche will be demonstrating its BlueFusion Toyota solution in its booth in a 2008 Toyota Prius.
