| TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2009 - The market for portable navigation devices (PND) is more competitive than ever. In response to market changes, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., the industry-leading manufacturer of automotive mobile media solutions, today announced a price reduction for its top-rated PND-K3 all-in-one portable navigation plus Bluetooth® hands-free system to $199.95 at participating authorized retailers in the U.S. "When we first introduced the PND-K3, the pricing was competitive for the market and for the device's robust feature offering. As the marketplace has changed in the last few months, we are adjusting the price to meet consumer demand for a full-featured product at a better value," said Stephen Witt, vice president, marketing. The PND-K3 offers consumers some of the best navigation technology on the road. To better maintain a moving car's location on the map even in areas where it's difficult to receive GPS signals, such as in a tunnel, around tall buildings or under heavy foliage, the PND-K3's OnPointTM Advanced GPS Positioning provides optimal vehicle tracking. OnPoint simultaneously uses three technologies - satellite-linked global positioning data, solid-state gyro sensor technology (to measure the vehicle's direction) and accelerometer technology (to measure the vehicle's speed). The result is highly accurate, continuous vehicle positioning in almost any location, for advanced navigation performance. The PND-K3 also features:
The PND-K3 includes a compact cradle to conveniently attach the device to the windshield or dashboard. The cradle uses a ball-and-joint socket, allowing the driver to easily and precisely position the device for the best viewing angle. The PND-K3's built-in loudspeaker allows voice instructions, music and incoming Bluetooth calls to be heard loud and clear. Availability The Alpine PND-K3 portable navigation system is available now at authorized Alpine dealers.
