Las Vegas NV – January 2007 – Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX) today announced its entrée into the GPS portable navigation market with three new portable systems all under the Jensen brand. "These new products mark our entrance into the exciting GPS and personal navigation market. They all offer cutting-edge technology and two of the systems combine GPS navigation with XM capability…in one product," said Tom Malone, Senior VP Sales.
The NVXM1000 features a built in slot for the XM Mini-Tuner and the NVX406 will take a plug in dock for the Mini-Tuner.

A full featured NAV system with a powerful 8GB hard-drive memory delivers full U.S. and Canada mapping plus over 11 million Points of Interest on a 4-inch color touch screen. "You get turn-by-turn voice prompts in 12 languages, powered by a built-in rechargeable Li-Poly battery. There is also an optional rear-view camera to check blind spots as you back out of a driveway or in a parking lot and an FM modulator allows for use of the vehicle’s speakers for instructions or programming," said Malone.
In addition the unit is XM Mini Tuner ready with its built-in slot, designed to accept the Mini- Tuner with no additional wiring. Simply pop in the optional XM Mini-Tuner and "Rock-n-Road" switches from a GPS system to a full XM system with all 170 XM channels plus XM Real-Time Traffic broadcasts that provide updated information on road conditions for optimum driving. The same Mini-Tuner that brings XM to this portable NAV system also can bring it to your home and all for one subscription fee. MSRP for the NVXM1000 is: $999.99. Note: XM Mini Tuner sold separately. Real-Time Traffic through XM and available only in cities where XM broadcasts reports. Requires XM subscription and requires living in a city that has a traffic station.

"We launched this line of portable navigation products with systems designed to meet the feature requirements of virtually every user — from basic GPS Navigation to a system that doubles as an XM Satellite radio. Our leadership in the mobile electronics arena, our technology-based design team and our relationship with XM made this combination of products possible." Malone concluded.
