High End Car Audio Products recapture the international market: Costumer’s requirements in terms of in-car audio and entertainment’s quality and functionality are no longer addressed solely to the car manufacturer. Individual expectations on sound, connectivity and user friendliness of automotive infotainment are rising in parallel with the hours that consumers of today spend in their car. Today’s automobile consumers wish to travel as pleasant, entertaining and as audiophile as possible. The industry is reacting to this trend with new custom fit technologies and an extended range of high end car audio products.
