Audiovox Ships Affordable, High-Quality, Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System Designed For Do-It-Yourself Installati

 
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., - September 19, 2008 - Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX). Audiovox has long been an advocate for child safety as evidenced by its support of KIDS AND CARS and its established line of professionally installed collision avoidance and rear observation systems designed to protect children from back-over accidents.

 

The Company has taken these products to a new level with its $129.99 retail, Do-It-Yourself Install Wireless Color Monitor and Back-Up Camera System, model ACA250, available now. Tom Malone, president, Audiovox Electronics Corporation, stated, "This new product is just what we are calling ‘No Excuses.' By removing the need for professional installation and bringing the retail down to an affordable price there is simply no excuse for any SUV, truck, van or car owner to delay installing this important accessory on their vehicle."

Malone continued, "We didn't skimp on the features to make the price affordable. This system's has one of the widest viewing angles on the market. At 110 degrees our color camera easily beats the competition's 72 or 90 degree models. Exclusive infrared LEDs give the camera ‘night vision' making the view significantly clearer even in complete darkness."

Metal brackets as well as a full metal camera housing provide maximum durability. The wide-angle view completely eliminates the need for up and down manual adjustment and the IP66-rated camera means it is designed for even more extreme yet everyday conditions like car wash strength water pressure and is completely dust-proof. Installation is a snap as the camera is powered by the back-up lamp. The monitor plugs into a 12-volt cigarette lighter or can be hardwired for permanent installation. A video on how to install the ACA250 can also be viewed at www.youtube.com/AudiovoxPR.

"For years, we have supported KIDS AND CARS and their commitment to the Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007. Between now and the time that the newly passed law mandating back-up sensors takes effect, we want to make sure that no more children die in these senseless accidents. We have the products today, they are easy to install and are affordable so there are simply no excuses," Malone concluded.
