Pioneer Electronics Drives Excitement With New Technologies At
Mid America Truck Show
Louisville, KY March 25, 2004
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., a world leader in mobile entertainment
technologies, will showcase a variety of products at the Mid America
Truck Show (MATS), the largest national and international truck
show of the year. Pioneer will highlight various in-vehicle technologies
that provide information and entertainment for trucking professionals
who spend the majority of their time on the road, traveling more
than 400 billion miles a year.
“The trucking community is a crucial component to our economics
and they consider their trucks their home on the road. Pioneer can
enhance their on-the-road experience with entertainment and information
products that we will demonstrate at this year’s MATS event,”
said Michael Townsen, vice president of marketing for mobile entertainment
at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “Attendees will be able to
play with our products and witness the power of the AVIC-N1 system
in particular, which offers enhanced navigation features as well
as DVD entertainment.”
AVIC-N1: Pioneer Electronics’ AVIC-N1 system, will
be a welcome addition to any rig on the road. As the industry’s
first true audio/video/navigation system, it merges entertainment,
information and vehicle dynamics technologies into one product making
life on the road bearable and more pleasurable. With more than 12
million points of interest available across the U.S. and Canada
the AVIC-N1 offers drivers more information about their intended
routes. They can easily locate essential information such as rest
stops, ATMs, hotels, restaurants and gas stations. While providing
step-by-step navigational information through voice prompts and
an electronic map, the AVIC-N1 also monitors everything from lateral
G-Force to angular velocity and includes a rear camera input that
enables drivers to view activity at the rear of the vehicle. In
addition, the AVIC-N1 supports XM satellite radio, plays CDs, MP3
CDs and DVD video for backseat passengers or for drivers at roadside
rest stops. The AVIC-N1 is available for a suggested retail price
of $2200.
