New Bluetooth(R) Product Unites Cell Phone, Downloaded Music to Car Audio
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Germany's PEIKER acustic GMBH & Co.
KG, an automotive electronics maker for top auto brands, announced its
groundbreaking BluetouchMusic has received an honorable mention in the
Bluetooth SIG Best of CES 2007 contest. The new product is the first
automotive aftermarket system to fully integrate hands-free mobile
technology with multi-media support, allowing users to play either
downloaded or streaming music through their existing car audio system with
a user friendly interface.
"BluetouchMusic is one of those innovative products that showcases the
many uses of Bluetooth technology in the car," said Michael Foley, Ph.D.,
executive director, Bluetooth SIG. "It incorporates the traditional
hands-free system with the functionality people really want in the car --
the ability to bring their music with them from their favorite music
device."
The BluetouchMusic unit, which features a user friendly display, clear
touch screen and intuitive menu navigation, gives music lovers the freedom
to replay and switch between music downloaded to either their mobile phone
using Bluetooth(R) A2DP technology or iPOD(R) or other MP3 player via a
hardwire.
"BluetouchMusic is the only system on the market today that allows
music downloads from mobile phones to be played via Bluetooth A2DP
technology with a user friendly interface," said Mike Bailey, PEIKER
acustic chief operating officer. "Mobile phones offer consumers more
multi-media functionality and this system allows consumers to take the
music from their handset and play it through the car audio system."
Officials from PEIKER acustic, which pioneered vehicle hands-free
Bluetooth technology in Europe five years ago, say the unit, which allows
users to match display colors to various car interiors, requires
professional installation, and will be distributed initially only through
professional aftermarket channels.
BluetouchMusic is the first automotive aftermarket major product
offering to the U.S. market from PEIKER acustic and was developed in
cooperation with ALAC GmbH.
