A recent iSuppli report painted a brighter picture for the auto industry, and the electronics segment of the industry in particular. Auto sales are expected to increase in the second half of the year, growing up to 5.7% in 2010. Electronic components, such as audio head units, personal navigation devices (PNDs), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), embedded telematics systems and Bluetooth are expected to benefit.

This should be good news for companies like SRS Labs (SRSL), Techwell (TWLL), Garmin (GRMN) and TomTom.

The company also saw home entertainment revenue increasing 17.9%. Compare these results with audio giant Dolby Laboratories (DLB), which saw
