HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC,
CENTRAL HALL, BOOTH 10417 -- VOXX Electronics
Corporation (VEC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International
Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), is pleased to announced today the
April 2015 launch of Car Connection
2.0, the next generation product that comes with new safety and
money-saving subscription services that will work with all 3G Car
Connection OBD II devices.
"Car Connection 2.0 is an upgrade of the original Car Connection
that allowed consumers to monitor and manage driver and vehicle
health. While Car Connection was about your vehicle, Car Connection
2.0 is about being there for you," said Dan
Murphy, VP of VOXX Electronics, Telematics Solutions.
"Although in-vehicle safety services are common in today's
newest vehicles, there are literally millions of cars on the road
that do not have such systems as standard equipment. Now,
with the addition of Car Connection 2.0 everyone has the ability to
enjoy OE-style safety benefits that include Automatic Crash SOS,
Emergency Services, Road-side Assistance and Stolen Vehicle
Recovery."
- Road-Side Assistance service means you never have to
worry about being on the open road alone. A dedicated Emergency
Call Center running 24/7 will help you if you break-down, run out
of gas, or get a flat tire…just about anything.
- Automatic Crash SOS will call our emergency response
call center automatically when the vehicle detects that a severe
crash has occurred. Trained COPC professionals will contact
all the necessary local emergency services.
- Stolen Vehicle Recovery service can help locate your
vehicle, share its location with the authorities and if needed,
seek help from our emergency response teams.
- The Emergency Services feature also provides assistance
for non-accident related emergencies that could happen to you or
any of your passengers within the vehicle. Car Connection 2.0
will be able to assist if you have an emergency and need to contact
a medical professional or provide directions to the nearest
hospital and/or other emergency support needs.
Murphy concluded, "While safety is important, it is not the only
benefit of Car Connection 2.0. Using this device can also reduce
the cost of operating and owning a vehicle by providing access to
the Car Connection Insurance Discount Program. With
this Program, you could potentially save more than 15% thanks to
the growing list of insurance partners we have aligned with."
From our unique Driver Distraction text blocking service to Fuel
and Vehicle Health reports, Remote Access, and other services, Car
Connection 2.0 subscription service now connects you to your car
both online and on your Smartphone.
Car Connection 2.0 will be available in April 2015 and requires the purchase of a Car
Connection 3G OBD device available at major retail locations
nationwide for a suggested MSRP of $169.95.
