Scosche Industries has announced its patent-pending Bluetooth wireless interface for iPod and MP3 players for aftermarket brand-name head units and home audio systems is a winner of the prestigious 2006 CES Innovations Award.

Unlike other “wired” interfaces, the Scosche transmitter connects directly to the headphone output connector of the iPod/MP3 unit and transmits to a Bluetooth receiver connected to the auxiliary input of a vehicle’s head unit or home audio system. Scosche’s Bluetooth wireless technology transmits digital continuous streaming audio with CD quality sound to a car or home receiver. Additionally, Scosche has added hands-free cellular functions to its interface for Bluetooth cell phones, allowing users to listen to their music and answer cell phone calls hands-free in their vehicles. “Scosche has been synonymous with innovative car audio accessories and we are pleased to offer another first to market product with our Bluetooth wireless technology,” said Kas Alves, vice president marketing and sales, Scosche Industries. “Customers now can enjoy their music without wired limitations. Our hands-free cell phone function adds increased value to our interface. Users can now answer their cell phones and talk completely hands-free eliminating the distraction of picking up your cell phone to talk while driving.”
