Scosche Intros Bluetooth Wireless Interface for iPod and Other MP3 Players

Scosche's Bluetooth wireless technology features a wireless range of 30 feet and a fifteen hour transmitter lithium-ion battery life. It is Bluetooth 1.2 compliant for continuous streaming audio and can pair with an unlimited number of receivers.

The IPBCK, designed for third and fourth generation iPods and iPod minis, or UBCK designed for universal MP3 players, will work with aftermarket head units with RCA inputs. For those who like flexibility with their music, the Bluetooth interface will allow a passenger in the front or back seat to control the iPod or MP3 unit playing through the vehicle's head unit. Included in the vehicle kit are a 12volt car charger, rechargeable transmitter, and the necessary cables for a simple installation.

Using a home audio/video system, a user can add a home receiver kit (#UBR), or a user can purchase a Bluetooth wireless kit just for the home (#IPBHK). The Scosche wireless Bluetooth interface in the home will allow anyone to listen to his or her iPod or MP3 player with digital sound CD quality through his or her home audio system. In the home, the Scosche receiver is powered off standard 110 AC/DC converter included in the home kit.

The car kit for iPod players (#IPBCK) will retail at $249.99 and will be available mid-August. The universal Bluetooth kit for MP3 players (#UBCK) will be available in September and will retail at $249.99. The home kits (#UBR and IPBHK) will be available in Fall 2005 and will retail at $129.99 and $249.99 respectively.
