The Faurecia Clarion Electronics Co., Ltd. (フォルシアクラリオン・エレクトロニクス株式会社) is a Japanese manufacturer of car audio, automotive navigation systems, AutoPCs, visual equipment, bus equipment, and communication equipment. Since 2019 it has been fully owned by Faurecia Clarion Electronics.
Up until the end of 2005, products in Japan were marketed under the brand name AddZest, while outside Japan the same product typically carried the Clarion name brand. This was changed in 2006, and the brand "Clarion" along with a redesigned logo are now used worldwide. It is known for its close relationship with Nissan, which uses Clarion products almost exclusively in its vehicles.[1] Nissan once owned a 6.25% share in Clarion, although that was reduced in 2002.[2][3]
Clarion manufacturers aftermarket car audio and speakers for vehicles.[4]
A contest is held annually to select the Clarion Girl, who is chosen to represent Clarion's car audio equipment in
