CeBIT, Hannover (Germany) – March 12, 2005. Visson Technologies, Inc. today announced the release of their 2nd generation Auto PC, a car entertainment solution that integrates DVB digital TV, GPS navigation, together with in-car entertainment
features. “By combining a wide spectrum of in-vehicle technologies into one solution, Visson has demonstrated their competence as a digital innovator, and we are determined to set a strong pace in the forthcoming automotive technology generation”, stated James Wu, CEO for Visson Technologies, Inc.

A demo of Visson’s 2nd generation Auto PC can be viewed at CeBIT 2005 in Hannover (March 10-16, 2005), at Hall 11, Booth D48(1). Visson announced the March-release of their Auto PC (2G) at the recent CES consumer show in Las Vegas. The final
shipping-ready date for the Auto PC will be announced later in 2005. Furthermore, James Wu today announced an advanced Auto PC model to be launched at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2005 (May 31- June 4), complete with navigation, DTV, multimedia and connectivity components, and also ready for shipping in 2005. Visson’s digital convergent products will also feature at the Car+Sound, IFA and SEMA shows in 2005.

“Visson entering the market with full force… Solid backing by VIA…” “With the current trends in convergent technologies, car navigation systems and
digital TV solutions is undoubtedly the way to go, and we are determined to enter the market with full force,” said Sherry Tsai, Sales Director for Visson
Technologies. “As a recognized member of the VIA Technologies Group, we receive all the benefits and a strong backing from our corporate business partner, enabling us to fully utilize our strength as a dynamic middle-sized innovation company,” Tsai added. “Essentially, Visson is about innovation, creativity and passion – our driving force is to take on innovation challenges that the mere-manufacturer crowd
steer away from, and being at the absolute forefront of technology. In addition, we aim to have a global conscience in doing so.”

Combining Navigation with DVB-T
By combining DVB-T digital TV and a CD/MP3/VCD/DVD player with a navigation system,
Visson’s Auto PC promises to offer the ultimate in-car entertainment experience, enabling motorists to watch DTV, see a DVD, and simultaneously utilize a navigation system along their journey. The navigation system benefits motorists from a road-safety and convenience point of view, by providing the best routes to destinations, pointing out obstacles, and offering numerous other functions. GPS will play a significant role in future automotive generations, similar to its role in aviation technology today.

Entertainment
The Car Entertainment Component includes 3 LCD displays with a full-featured DVD player that supports MP4/DVD/VCD/CD and MP3 disc formats. Furthermore, it supports DVB-T/TV/FM, 16:9 wide screen output, and allows for connection to A/V terminals.
