LAS VEGAS, SEMA Show 2008 (November 4, 2008) - Funkwerk Americas, a leading provider of invehicle Bluetooth hands-free mobile communications, multimedia and entertainment solutions, is
announcing today its enhancement of the EGO Bluetooth hands-free car kits at SEMA Show 2008.

This complete EGO Bluetooth hands-free portfolio will be available for demonstration in the North Hall, booth #10947 of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 4-7.

"At Funkwerk Americas we are dedicated to the absolute satisfaction of our customers. We now provide the highest audio quality in aftermarket hands-free Bluetooth systems," said CEO Stan Gafner. "Our EGO systems undergo continual testing for improvement. With Software Version 8.0, the electro-acoustic and phonetic test series show why users will be impressed with superior clarity and sound quality, even when driving at freeway speeds."

Highlights of EGO Bluetooth hands-free car kits at SEMA Show 2008 include:

  • Software 8.0: The new Software 8.0 improves noise and echo suppression and provides higher volume levels for the EGO FLASH and EGO LOOK Bluetooth car kits. It will be available for download at the end of this month through www.egohandsfree.com.
  • EGO CUP FM: EGO's latest self-installed "to go" Bluetooth car kit fits in the car cup holder and powers from the 12-volt lighter adapter or the built-in rechargeable battery for hands-free
    communication. It also comes equipped with features including Caller ID display, Bluetooth audio streaming, stereo auxiliary input for iPods/MP3 players, and a built-in FM transmitter allows calls and music to be heard over the integrated speaker or the car speaker system, as with professionally installed devices.
  • Text-to-Speech Feature: Both EGO FLASH and EGO LOOK Bluetooth car kits have the ability to read aloud incoming text messages from many Bluetooth cell phones. Text messages are
    dictated directly via the in-vehicle stereo system.
