SCOSCHE Industries Introduces 6 Models of MagicMount Fresche 2-in-1 Phone Mount / Air Freshener

LAS VEGAS, NV (01.07.2020) – SCOSCHE has introduced Fresche, a new line of mounts designed for drivers who like a safe, uncluttered and fresh-smelling vehicle.

Most states now have hands-free driving laws, so a stable and reliable phone mount is a necessity. Many drivers also enjoy having a clean fresh-smelling vehicle. We found an elegant solution to fulfill both of those needs. Fresche is a range of vent mounts, with a selection of different mounting heads, including: magnetic, universal mount, and fast wireless charging. Fresche mounts not only securely hold your phone, but also hold an air freshener cartridge that uses the airflow from your vehicle’s vent to release fragrance throughout your vehicle.

The MagicMount Fresche utilizes Scosche’s patent pending FreeFlow vent mount design that has an open circular design and an articulated swing-arm. This arm lets you move your phone away from the vent in any direction, while the base remains securely anchored there. The FreeFlow design proved to be the perfect vehicle for housing an air freshener cartridge and harnessing the airflow to disperse the scent.

Fresche mounts incorporate all of the features of Scosche’s multi-award-winning, tried and trusted MagicMount line. All Fresche mount models use the same replaceable air freshener cartridges that are available in a variety of scents, including “New Car Scent.”

The Fresche range of mounts also features non-magnetic, universal mounts (shown above).

“We know that many Scosche customers are true car enthusiasts who like
to drive a clean fresh vehicle, so we’re forming a Fresche refill subscription service. Members of this Fresche Club will be confident that “smelling good” is a constant attribute of their vehicles.”

MagicMount Fresche vent mounts will be available March, 2020, starting at an MSRP of $19.99. Qi Wireless Charging Fresche mounts will be available June, 2020 starting at an MSRP of $54.95.

Namsung America Expands Jensen-Branded In-Vehicle Receiver Lineup

LAS VEGAS, NV (01.07.2020) – Namsung America has announced the introduction of six new Jensen-branded in-vehicle receivers, including four multimedia receivers and two touchscreen media receivers. Key features include Apple CarPlay technology, Android Auto, built-in navigation, USB screen mirroring, J-Link Smart Remote app support, a dedicated push-to-talk assistant button, extra-large 10.1” capacitive LCD, and built-in Bluetooth technology. One receiver is available now, two receivers will be available in January, two in February, and one in March. All six receivers will be on display during the 2020 International CES in Westgate Suite #2809, January 7-10, 2020.

The six new models in the 2020 line up include three 2-DIN multimedia receivers: CAR1000 (MSRP: $399.99), CMN8620 (MSRP: $249.99), and CAR70V (MSRP: $219.99); one 2-DIN multimedia DVD receiver: CDR5620 (MSRP: $129.99); one 1-DIN touchscreen media receiver: CMM710 (MSRP: $269.99); one 2-DIN touchscreen media receiver: CMM7720 (MSRP: $149.99).

Two of the new multimedia receivers (CAR1000 and CAR70V) feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Apple CarPlay is a smart interface for iPhone, which allows the driver to voice-control (via Siri) music, navigation, phone and messaging apps, thus significantly reducing driver distraction. CarPlay launches immediately upon connecting an iPhone to the receiver via USB; the familiar app icons will appear on the receiver’s touchscreen, including the home button to activate Siri voice control. This consistent, familiar interface makes the iPhone integration truly seamless. The user can navigate and control the phone apps through the receiver’s touch screen or using Siri.

Android Auto is a smart interface for Android devices, which lets the driver control music, navigation, phone and messaging apps verbally via the built-in Google Assistant. The Android Auto interface launches once a compatible Android phone is connected via USB. The user can then navigate supported phone apps through the touchscreen, or verbally command the Google Assistant by either saying “OK Google” or tapping the onscreen microphone button followed by a voice command.

One receiver (CMN8620) features built-in navigation with USA, Puerto Rico, and USVI maps. iGo Primo Next Generation navigation technology powers the navigation and includes a robust 10 million POI database, TTS (text-to-speech), and support is available via the Naviextras website for updating map regions and adding additional features.

Two receivers (CMM7720 and CMM710) support USB Screen Mirroring. This allows the user to connect a smartphone to the receiver via USB, mirroring the connected phone’s screen allowing them to view some of their favorite navigation or music apps directly on the receiver’s large screen.

These same two receivers also feature support for the j-Link Smart Remote app, which allows an Android or Apple smartphone to connect to the receiver via Bluetooth and control receiver features via a virtual remote interface on the phone. This is ideal for controlling the receiver in situations where a line-of-sight connection to the receiver is unavailable. Controllable receiver features include mode, station, song, volume up/down, and settings.

Five of the new receivers (CAR1000, CMM7710, CDR5620, CMN8620, and CMM7720) include a dedicated front panel push-to-talk assistant button to activate the smartphone assistant on a phone connected via Bluetooth. Two of these (CMM710 and CAR1000) feature an extra-large 10.1” capacitive touchscreen that is adjustable for angle optimization during installation.

All of the six receivers include steering wheel inputs which are compatible with most popular SWC interfaces, 3 pairs of preamp outputs, FLAC playback, and built-in Bluetooth® technology for hands-free calling (HFP), music streaming & player control (A2DP & AVRCP). Users are able to answer a call, redial, or manage call waiting directly from the receiver. Audio streaming allows basic controls from the receiver’s screen, including play/pause, back/forward, and volume up/down. Five models (CMM720, CMM710, CAR1000, CAR70V, and CDR5620) also includes Bluetooth phonebook support (PBAP) and two models (CAR1000 and CAR70V) use external microphones for improved voice intelligibility. Backup camera inputs are standard on all six models, and four (CDR5620, CMM710, CMM7720, and CMN8620) also include front camera inputs.
