Audiovox 1997 Annual Report Download - page 8

At the Consumer Electronics show in
January, we showed two new vehicle
t racking pro ducts that are satel l i te
based, two-way GPS which we expect
to ship in 1998. They will be central sta-
t ion mon i tored for fa s t re sp on s e.
Featuring our patent pending ‘Log and
Locate’ technology, the new Pursuit VehicleTrack will deliver an alarm
signal as soon as the vehicle moves 2,000 feet. It does not wait until
you report the vehicle missing to start tracking. In addition, unlike its
biggest competitor, its a full featured alarm system as well. These sys-
tems have some great convenience features too. On command the
satellite can remote start your vehicle, find your car in a parking lot, or
unlock your doors, should you lock the keys inside.

Plenty. But it all comes down to one key thing. We
develop products tailored to the markets that our different distribution
outlets serve. We recognize that the needs of the car dealer are differ-
ent from those of the mobile electronic specialist. It takes a major
investment in engineering support, but we don’t develop one product
and try to force it through our varied distribution channels.
We’re always looking for ways to give our customers an edge. We know
they can buy other products but they don’t because we always put their
needs first. We’re always developing sales programs or new cutting
edge products and we’re not afraid of taking the risks that diversifica-
tion requires.
Audiovox remains committed to never resting on our past success. We
will continue to explore new markets and accept new challenges as we
strive to provide our customers with the latest in consumer electronics
products for this ever changing marketplace.
