“The TU-Automotive Awards are the most prestigious and anticipated awards in the connected car and automotive technology industry, and we couldn’t be more proud to receive this year’s Best Aftermarket Telematics Product Award,” said Stig Pedersen, associate vice president of product management for Magellan.  “The TRX7 has been a work in progress for several years, and it is very gratifying to have the judges at TU-Automotive validate our efforts.”
