General Automotive Company (OTCBB:GNAU) ("GA"), a provider of original equipment
and aftermarket automotive parts, mobile electronics and related products, today
announced it has entered into a partnership with Edgetek Co., Ltd. to expand its
OEM business.

Under the new agreement, GA will serve as the exclusive distributor for
Edgetek's next-generation rear vision and navigation systems in North America.
The combined systems, currently under development, will offer instant rear
visibility to help prevent back-over or collision accidents while providing GPS
navigation and Bluetooth hands-free functionalities using a single-touch panel
LCD monitor. These systems can also accommodate a second camera that can be used
for other purposes such as an in-cabin baby monitor or front-view parking
assistance.

"Our partnership with Edgetek will help us bring an exciting new product with
strong growth potential to our customers," said Joe DeFrancisci, President and
CEO of General Automotive. "Edgetek has been working with one of our operating
subsidiaries, Global Parts Direct, since 2004 and both our companies are
dedicated to providing innovative, high-quality products, so it was an easy
choice for our companies to partner."

Based in Suwon, South Korea, Edgetek is a developer, manufacturer and
distributor of automotive electronic parts and game players. Established in
2004, the company is also a leading supplier of engine control unit products in
Korea. Edgetek specializes in creating new value through technological
