Not quite correct. Harman has a automotive division that assists with the engineering of OEM systems (electronics, fixtures for mounting drivers, etc.) and owns a number of brands (Mark Levinson, JBL.) We work with them in creating Bowers & Wilkins systems for our automotive partners, but Harman (now owned by Samsung) doesn't own any part of Bowers & Wilkins.
