North American Automotive Entertainment and Navigation Systems Market New Products Flood the Burgeoning Market “Emerging automotive entertainment and navigation applications such as satellite radio and compressed-audio (MP3) playback systems are providing fresh growth opportunities for the North American mobile electronics manufacturers.” Ground Transportation Analyst Team Frost & Sullivan

Relatively new applications - satellite radio and compressed audio systems - are expected to grow four times as fast as rear-seat entertainment and navigation systems Technological advances and increasing economies of scales continue to drive price declines Current high rate of innovation and new product introduction will continue through the medium-term ( ) and slow down thereafter As applications mature and product-features/functions stabilize, manufacturers will increasingly integrate them into the radio head unit to provide a single point of control and to reduce form-factor and system cost Multiple product configurations will support a growing range of vehicle segments and customer demographics Key Industry Trends

DVD’s superior performance is driving rapid replacement of other storage media in multimedia applications XM satellite radio systems have gained a big early lead over Sirius system Vehicle owners with small children prefer systems with driver- operated single-point controls, while adults without children or with grown-up children prefer systems with distributed controls Greater ease-of-use of voice and touch-screen based HMIs is driving replacement of other HMIs Emergence of Integrated Driver Information Systems to cost- effectively support increasing range of applications, functions, and features in scarce vehicle space Wirelessly networked systems based on and Bluetooth technology are under developed, expected to be commercially available by 2005 Industry Trends
