Sensolutions New Product Introduction

Sensolutions Inc. and Audio Music Design are raising the bar in cost efficiency, performance and
features for Volvo™ HU radio expansion with their new line of MELBUS based interfaces. Dubbed the
Light Edition – LE for Short – these devices are trimmed down in size, features (no video support) and
cost. They are easy to install (plug & play), offer integration for just about any car configuration, and
add integrated back-up camera support for owners with an RTI system. This is a solution that has no
equivalent among the competition. If you want to make a recession proof decision in upgrading your
VOLVO™ OEM audio system now is the time!

iMIV LE
The iMIV LE (pronounced "iM4 LE") is the easiest and most cost efficient way to integrate your iPod or
iPhone with your VOLVO™ OEM stereo system for select car models from 2000 to 2008. The iMIV LE
offers:

-Superb Audio Quality
-Support for up to 99 playlists
-Text for Artist Name, Song Title and Playlist
-Easy to install : Plug and Play solution
-Can be configured for any car configuration!
-Charges the latest iPods and iPhones
-Can be upgraded as new features are introduced.
-Supports seamless backup camera integration
-Most cost effective solution for iPod integration

Unlike the Classic iMIV design for integrating your iPod or iPhone the iMIV LE does not support video or
AUX inputs. It still has the same clear and crisp audio quality, and it will introduce new features for
enhanced customer experience.

A few small external changes have been made, notably the form factor of the device: the size has shrunk
to 100 x 60 x32 mm, or 4.0 x 2.4 x 1.3 inch (LxWxH). Instead of 2 MELBUS connections, it now only has 1
MELBUS connection combined with an iPod (cable) connection. iPod support is expanded to all iPods
beyond G3 as only USB charging is provided (new Nano, Touch and iPhone). As there is no need to
support video from the iPod for the LE version, the iPod cable too has become thinner and more flexible.
The device is very easy and end user friendly to install: no wondering as what connections to use, or
what iMIV LE versions to get. One device will work for all cars, World Wide! Combine this with our plug
and play cable sets and from a total cost perspective this is the best solution ever for integrating your
iPod with your stock Volvo Audio System.

As you have come to expect from our products they can be configured to your preference, and
upgraded as new features come available. Three Firmware options allow the end user to configure this
as a CD or MD changer or SATELLITE receiver. (Default option is CD changer) As with the MII LE there is
inherent support of a backup camera for customers with a VOLVO In-Dash RTI (Navigation) system.



MII LE
The MII LE is a redesign of the previous MII with the same awesome wideband audio quality. It is the
perfect solution for integrating that aftermarket Satellite, DAB receiver, or the generic MP3 player with
your VOLVO™ OEM stereo system for car models from 2000 to 2008.

-Superb Audio Quality
-Easy to install, Plug and Play solution
-Can be configured for any car configuration!
-Can be upgraded as new features are introduced.
-Supports seamless backup camera integration
-Most cost effective solution for Generic AUX integration

A few small changes have been made, notably the form factor of the device: the size has shrunk to 100 x 60 x32 mm, or 4.0 x 2.4 x 1.3 inch (LxWxH) . Instead of 2 MELBUS connections, it now only has 1 MELBUS connection, and a single RCA AUX input. The result is a device that is very easy to install. Firmware options allow the end user to configure it as a CD or MD changer or SATELLITE receiver. (Default option is CD changer) With the MII LE there is built in support of a backup camera for customers with a VOLVO in-dash RTI (Navigation) system3. Should you require additional inputs, you can daisy chain 2 or even 3 MII LEs!

Notes
1) Please consult our compatibility charts on the individual product specification sheets or website.
2) Not immediately available, but will be released in about 3 months from introduction
3) Upon selection of reverse gear the RTI screen (navigation) is raised, and the camera view displayed on the LCD panel. A special power and video cable is required for backup camera support. There is a nominal activation fee charged for this feature. For the MII this feature can only be activated at the time of purchase.
4) Special MELBUS Cables required, and the actual number depends on your MELBUS installed device options.
