The Audiovox Corporation offers dealers an insight into the future and opportunities for distribution in the UK.
Audiovox Incaar Systems is the European OEM arm of Audiovox Corp. specialising in rear seat entertainment and things like DVD, WiFi, Wireless, iPod interfaces. Due to their commitments to the OEM in recent times there hasn’t been a lot of news from them in the aftermarket, but that’s all about to change.
Having developed a whole host of rear seat entertainment products for manufacturers, they’re now in a position to pass on their technology and expertise to installers and retailers in the UK.
With the recent acquisition of huge American company Invision, Audiovox Corp is in an extremely strong position to enhance their offerings to the industry. Not only does it mean the ability to combine the two company’s knowledge bases, it also grants Audiovox access to much of the work that Invision have been carrying out with USA car manufacturers. Coupled with the work that Audiovox Corp’s OEM division and Audiovox Incaar have been undertaking over the last few years with US and European manufacturers, including more recently a prestigious German sports car producer, the future looks extremely exciting for the company, with exciting technological advances on the horizon.



Essentially they focus on three levels of rear seat entertainment. Firstly are their high definition digital slim-line screens with and without DVD DVD players as found in top spec luxury vehicles. Available with touch screens and infra red or digital headphones these are perfect systems for installers looking to concentrate on the high end customer. Next up is the range of patent protected automotive spec “Quick Kit” OEM LCD/DVD kits as found in numerous manufacturer cars. The beauty of these systems is that they can be installed or removed with relative ease, making them ideal for customers who are installing them into lease cars, and they also come with OEM type warranties making them an easy sell. Completing the range is Audiovox Incaar’s hybrid system that is also protected by their patent. This is a simple to install screen/DVD player system that can be hard-wired or powered through cigar lighter socket, perfect for customers after a cost-effective and quick solution, and who also may need to move it from one car to another with minimal fuss. As Audiovox Incaar is the OEM division of Audiovox, these products are normally handled by their German based logistics division. However, they are also keen to talk with companies in a position to offer UK distribution, whether that’s a national distributor or a handful of selected regional ones. As they point out, this is the perfect opportunity for an established distributor to offer high quality rear seat entertainment solutions to their portfolio.

Similarly, Audiovox Holdings also deal with the audio side of Audiovox Corp’s proposition in Europe, supplying the Audiovox brand of quality Head Units as well as the Mac Audio and Magnat ranges of audio enhancements. The Audiovox brand is one of the most well-established in Europe and caters for any manner of Head Unit solutions including double DIN, Navigation,  Bluetooth, Digital TV and iPod compatibility. With high levels of quality they’re a market leader in Germany. Subwoofers, amps and crossovers are taken care of by the Magnat and Mac Audio brands, also distributed from their vast German headquarters. The two brands offer different levels of specification and price, which gives the end customer a great degree of choice. While these products are all available to dealers in the UK by ordering through their German office, there is again an opportunity for a UK distributor to get on board.
