Basically Arcam products with revised front panel IDs, Harman International purchased Arcam which was owned by Harman's Canadian distributor. Harman needs to sustain their high-style brand images such as Lexicon, Mark Levinson as to support their respective perception in the market of OE 12V Infotainment systems sold to Lexus, Range Rover, Audi, BMW, Mercedes. Note that the 12V OE Infotainment group @ Harman International(now owned by Samsung) delivers 80% of the bottom line profits for Harman.
