JENSEN Multimedia Systems Are Ready For Anything!

New Jensen Multimedia Systems Combine HD Radio, Bluetooth and iTunes Tagging with Complete Connectivity
LAS VEGAS - International CES, Booth 11006-1050 - January 7, 2009 - Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX). When it comes to multimedia radios that offer the most in connectivity, Jensen continues to lead the way in sales according to NPD. In 2009, the company's multimedia radios will continue to include hi-speed, direct connect jLinkDirect cables design for iPods and MediaLink, which makes connecting external media devices under the dash easy. These products and the Media Adapter cables that unite left and right channels into a single jack work right out of the box with no additional cables to purchase on any of these value-added features.

 

Audiovox Electronics Corporation president, Tom Malone said "Jensen remains committed to complete and dependable connectivity with optimum ease and convenience with features like jLinkDirect and MediaLink and that's not all."

Since the debut of the very successful Jensen mobile multimedia line, the company remains a top brand preference largely because of its repeated emphasis and desire to supply systems that maximize a positive consumer experience right out of the box. Additionally, the company does not skimp on technology that is simple to use. Every system in the 2009 product line has HD RadioTM and many include iTunes® tagging. For fans of satellite radio Jensen has the answer with systems that are XM and SIRIUS ready with quick hook-ups and easy operation.

And when it comes to navigation, Jensen systems either include it or are NAV ready with included cabling that makes adding navigation a simple plug-in. The same holds true for BluetoothTM hands-free cell phone technology, which lets customers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on traffic. When using the touchscreen on the head unit, drivers (and their passengers) can enjoy direct display, access and control over music on iPods as well as video content.

"For 2009, the bottom line for Jensen is connectivity and compatibility out of the box. That is what has brought us to a leadership position in the industry and that is what will keep us there," Malone concluded.

New Jensen Touchscreen Multimedia Systems

The VM9423 Touchscreen Multimedia System is the first of six new Jensen models that will launch during the first half of 2009. This top-of-the-line system features a built-in HD Radio tuner, and has iTunes tagging plus out-of-the-box connectivity with iPod®. It is navigation, Bluetooth and satellite radio ready; all formats are easily installed quickly and easily. A 6.5-inch touchscreen delivers information to the driver with easy-to-understand icons from iTunes tagging to iPod® operation and everything in between. Two interfaces - USB and SD - give the driver options to use flash drives and other media up to 8GB. MediaLink4, an under-dash interface adapter for connecting external devices and jLink3 Cable, for controlling all iPod functions from the vehicle's radio are included. The rear-view camera input gives the driver visual information on obstacles that might be behind the vehicle when backing up. (Note: optional camera for dashboard or sun visor required.)
