TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ECLIPSE Booth, North Hall
#11326, October 30th at 3:00 PM -- ECLIPSE, a division of Fujitsu Ten Ltd.
that designs and manufactures precision audio, video and navigation
products, has partnered with Toyota and Buick to showcase two customized
vehicles at the ECLIPSE booth that highlight the company's latest AVN
in-dash navigation head unit with detachable TomTom navigation portable
device -- a new product from ECLIPSE's Audio Visual Navigation line of
all-in-one head units. ECLIPSE is also hosting Danny Bonaduce, co-host of
The Adam Carolla Show on FREE-FM, to sign autographs in the booth (North
Hall #11326) on October 30th from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Bonaduce's appearance
is timed to coincide with the launch of this year's online charity auction
for ECLIPSE's customized Subaru WRX 5-door, benefiting the children and
families served by Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services (Optimist) -- one
of the oldest and largest child welfare non-profit agencies in California.
The all-new 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX 5-door was donated by Santa Monica
Subaru and the complete ECLIPSE sound system was installed by Al & Ed's
Autosound in Costa Mesa, CA, allowing the complete amount of the winning
bid to be given to Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services. Interested
buyers and supporters can go online to the FREE-FM site
(http://www.971freefm.com/pages/1100756.php) to learn more about the
auction. The auction will run on eBay until November 8th at 11:59 PM. The
highest bidder will be handed the keys to the car at the Greater Los
Angeles Auto Show on November 24th, where Bonaduce will present a check to
Optimist, in the full amount of the winning bid.
"We will have a computer in our booth throughout the entire SEMA show
to allow bidders the opportunity to check out the vehicle and be among the
first to place a bid," said Michael West, marketing director at ECLIPSE.
"Having Danny Bonaduce kick-off the charity auction from our booth at SEMA
is a great way to raise awareness for this important charity, and entice
some potential bidders."
While in the booth, showgoers will have the opportunity to go "Uptown
in a Buick Enclave" and experience the debut of ECLIPSE's "Tundra Thunder"
with Toyota.
The "Enclave Uptown" was created by Rick Bottom Designs, of Mendota,
Ill. to conjure images of sophisticated luxury and timeless elegance with a
flavor for the avant-garde. Buick's QuietTuning does its best to contain a
2,000- watt ECLIPSE audio, video and navigation system that pumps sound
through 12 speakers, including two 12-inch subwoofers. The Buick Enclave
Uptown features additional Hushmat sound damping material around the
complete sound system which includes ECLIPSE's AVN6610 all-in-one
navigation system with 2,000 watts, 12 speakers, XM Satellite Radio, CD
Player, iPod(R) connectivity and Bluetooth technology.
The "Tundra Thunder" also features ECLIPSE's AVN2210p, which offers
standard internal Bluetooth capabilities, iPod(R) cable connectivity and
flash memory music utilizing a front access USB port with complete onscreen
function control, as well as CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA compatibility. The
thunderous theme is created visually by a tri-phase pearl orange paint
scheme, and sonically with four 12 inch subwoofers. The complete
customization includes TRD 22. wheels & high performance brake & rotor
upgrade, Goodyear Eagle 285-45R22 tires, BASF paint products, Hushmat sound
deadening material, MPD ram-air hood, Corsa performance exhaust, Firestone
