	The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and subsidiaries ("Voxx" or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.  The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period.  These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013.
	We have determined that we operate in three reportable segments,

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	'
	Net Income Per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if common stock equivalent securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
	There are no reconciling items which impact the numerator of basic and diluted net income per common share.  A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:
		Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
		November 30,		November 30,
		2013	2012	2013	2012
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding	24,341,897	23,434,965	24,060,492	23,377,859

	Stock options and warrants	83,059	101,175	149,119	215,181
	Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding	24,424,956	23,536,140	24,209,611	23,593,040
	Stock options and warrants of 0 and 268,650 for the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 and 0 and 89,550 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the net income per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	The Company applies the authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
	The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 30, 2013:

	(a)	There were no events or changes in circumstances that occurred to indicate a significant adverse effect on the cost of these investments.
	The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. During April 2013, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its amended credit facility ("Amended Facility") maturing on February 28, 2017. In June 2013, the Company entered into a third interest rate swap agreement to hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023. The two swap agreements related to the Amended Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). Forward foreign currency contracts not designated under hedged transactions are valued at spot rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 15 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either non-current assets or non-current liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.
	It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through other income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and amounted to $(84) and $(114) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, respectively, and $(101) and $51 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively.
	Financial Statement Classification
	The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments and has held certain instruments not so designated. The following table discloses the fair value as of November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013 for both types of derivative instruments:
			Derivative Assets and Liabilities
					Fair Value
			Account		November 30, 2013				February 28, 2013
	Designated derivative instruments
	Foreign currency contracts		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$	(443	)		$	(87	)

	Interest rate swap agreements		Other liabilities		(146		)		—
	Derivatives not designated
	Foreign currency contracts		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		—				(21		)
	Total derivatives				$	(589	)		$	(31	)
	In connection with the acquisition of Hirschmann on March 14, 2012, the Company acquired foreign currency contracts which were unable to qualify for hedge accounting for the quarter ended November 30, 2012. None of these contracts are still outstanding at November 30, 2013. Four of these contracts settled during the nine months ended November 30, 2013, respectively, for a gain of $32.
	Cash flow hedges
	During Fiscal 2013 and during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $18,200 and are designated as cash flow hedges at November 30, 2013. The current outstanding notional value of the Company's three interest rate swaps at November 30, 2013 is $48,750, $25,000 and $7,475. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
	Activity related to cash flow hedges recorded during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:
		For the three months ended											For the nine months ended
		November 30, 2013											November 30, 2013

(a) Gains and losses related to foreign currency contracts are reclassified to cost of sales. Gains and losses related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense.
The net loss recognized in other comprehensive income for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next eighteen months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of November 30, 2013, no contracts originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminat

	Long-Term Investments
	Trading Securities
	The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
	Available-For-Sale Securities
	The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. (“Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited (“Bliss-tel").
	Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis and reported in Other Income.
	A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred by the Company during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 or 2012. As of November 30, 2013, the Company owns 72,500,000 shares in its Bliss-tel investment, which carries a value of $0 at November 30, 2013 as a result of other-than-temporary impairment charges incurred in prior fiscal years. Management continues to monitor the performance of Bliss-tel and determined the estimated value of the investment to remain $0 at November 30, 2013.
	Held-to-Maturity Investment
	Long-term investments include an investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method.
	Other Long-Term Investments
	Other long-term investments include an investment in a non-controlled corporation of $2,280 accounted for by the cost method. As of November 30, 2013, the Company held 16.9% of the outstanding shares of this compa

	The Company granted 256,250 options during December of 2012, which vested on July 1, 2013, expire two years from date of vesting (June 30, 2015), have an exercise price equal to $6.79, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 2.50 years and a grant date fair value of $1.99 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model.
	In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants during December of 2012 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and are considered exercisable at November 30, 2013.
	During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, the Company recorded $0 and $363, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to stock options and warrants. As of November 30, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options and warrants.
	Information regarding the Company's stock options and warrants is summarized below:
			Number of Shares		Weighted		Weighted

	In May of 2011, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock. A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Shares under the above grant will not be issued to the grantee before they vest. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. One-third of the restricted stock awards vested on February 29, 2012, one-third vested on February 28, 2013 and one-third will vest on February 28, 2014. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock, $7.60, was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
	The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the nine months ended November 30, 2013:
		Number of Shares (in thousands)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	Balance at February 28, 2013	33,334		$	7.6
	Granted	—		—
	Vested	—		—
	Forfeited	—		—
	Balance at November 30, 2013	33,334		$	7.6
	During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, the Company recorded $63 and $189, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. As of November 30, 2013, there was $64 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards. This expense is expected to be fully recognized by February 28, 2014.

	Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amount to $2,353 and $3,894 for the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $13,676 and $12,821 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within engineering and technical support expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	The Company enters into development and long-term supply agreements with certain of its OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") customers. Revenues earned from the development services are recorded based upon the milestone method of revenue recognition provided certain criteria are met. Amounts due from OEM customers for development services are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services are not central to the Company's operations. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, the Company recorded $5,077 and $6,432, respectively, of development service revenue as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone. For the three and nine months ended 2012 the Company recorded $1,960 and $850, respectively, of development service revenue as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the cumulative five years ending November 30, 2018 amounts to $28,151.
	We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is determined by primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions. There were no impairment triggering events during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, therefore, management believes the current carrying value of its intangible assets is not impaired. Our estimate of net future cash flows is based on historical experience and assumptions of future trends, which may be different from actual results. We periodically review the appropriateness of the estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets.

	(a)          Domestic Bank Obligations
	As of November 30, 2013, the Company has a Credit Facility (the "Facility") with Wells Fargo. The Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $205 million, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $130 million (comprised of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $80 million and a $50 million multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50 million is available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros); and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million. $110 million of the U. S. and Euro revolving credit facility is available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20 million was available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. The Amended Facility includes a $25 million sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10 million sublimit for Swing Loans.
	Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.25 - 2.25% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 - 1.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of November 30, 2013, the interest rate on the Facility was 2.28%.
	The $75 million five year term loan facility is payable in twenty quarterly installments of principal commencing May 31, 2012, each in the amount of $3,750. All other amounts outstanding under the Facility will mature and become due on March 13, 2017. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time without premium or penalty.
	On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge LIBOR interest rate exposure related to a portion of the Facility borrowings. The first interest rate swap agreement applies to interest payments related to the first $60 million of the term loan portion of the Facility and the second swap agreement applies to interest payments related to the first $25 million of the U.S. revolving credit facility balance. The interest rate swap agreements fix the LIBOR rates for these two portions of the Facility at 0.515% and 0.518%, respectively, and mature on February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. For the quarter ended November 30, 2013, these cash flow hedges were deemed to be highly effective. Refer to Note 3 for the unrecognized gain recorded for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 and the interest rate swap asset balance at November 30, 2013.
	The Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio, a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio and Capital Expenditures.
	The Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items (including capital expenditures). As of November 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
	The Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: failure to pay principal thereunder when due; failure to pay any interest or other amounts thereunder for a period of three (3) business days after becoming due; failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Facility; failure to satisfy certain judgments against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries); certain insolvency and bankruptcy events; and failure to pay when due certain other indebtedness in an amount in excess of $5 million.
	The Obligations under the Facility are secured by a general lien on and security interest in the assets of certain entities of the Company, including accounts receivable, equipment, substantially all of the real estate, general intangibles and inventory provided that the assets of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and the foreign guarantors will only secure the Foreign Obligations. All Guarantors other than subsidiaries of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH have jointly and severally guaranteed (or will jointly and severally guarantee) the obligations of any and all Credit Party Obligations, and each Foreign Guarantor will jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of Hirschmann Car Communications GmbH under the Credit Agreement (i.e., the Foreign Obligations).
	On March 14, 2012, the Company borrowed approximately $148 million under this credit facility as a result of its stock purchase agreement related to Hirschmann. As of November 30, 2013, approximately $115 million was outstanding under the line.
	The Company incurred debt financing costs related to this Facility and a previous facility, which was amended and restated, totaling approximately $6,400. These deferred financing costs have been included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Facility. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, the Company amortized $344 and $1,033 of these costs, respectively, compared to $302 and $907 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, which are recorded in interest expense.
	(b)          Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation
	Foreign bank obligations include a financing arrangement entered into in October 2000, totaling €20,000 and consisting of a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on November 1, 2014.  Selected accounts receivable are purchased from the Company on a non-recourse basis at 85% of face value and payment of the remaining 15% upon receipt from the customer of the balance of the receivable purchased. The activity under the factoring agreement is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.9% (2.1% at November 30, 2013), and the Company pays 0.2% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of November 30, 2013, the amount of non-factored accounts receivable exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.
	(c)          Euro Term Loan Agreement
	On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a new €5,000 term loan agreement. This agreement was for a five year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to VOXX International Corporation. Interest accrued at a fixed rate of 4.82% and payments under the term loan were made in two semi-annual installments. The loan ended on March 31, 2013 and has been fully paid.

	Foreign Currency
	The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela has been operating in a difficult economic environment, which has been troubled with local political issues and various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.
	Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," Venezuela had been designated as a hyper-inflationary economy.  A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its operation in Venezuela under this method. In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, moving the official exchange rate from $4.30 to $6.30 per U.S. dollar.
	On June 9, 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced a newly regulated foreign currency exchange system, Sistema de Transacciones con Titulos en Moneda Extranjera ("SITME"), which is controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela ("BCV"). The SITME imposes volume restrictions on the conversion of Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars, currently limiting such activity to a maximum equivalent of $350 per month. As a result of this restriction, we had limited new U.S. dollar purchases to remain within the guidelines imposed by SITME. In conjunction with the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte in February 2013, SITME was eliminated. The Venezuelan government is in the process of revising the exchange method. The Company is continuing its policy that it will not extend intercompany credit without the receipt of U.S. dollars from this operation.

	Our Premium Audio segment designs, manufactures, distributes and markets home theater systems, high-end loudspeakers, outdoor speakers, iPod/computer speakers, business music systems, cinema speakers, flat panel speakers, bluetooth speakers, soundbars, headphones, Apple AirPlay and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
	Our Consumer Accessories segment designs and markets remote controls; rechargeable battery packs; wireless and bluetooth speakers; personal sound amplifiers; and iPod docks/iPod sound, A/V connectivity, portable/home charging, reception, and digital consumer products.
	The accounting principles applied at the consolidated financial statement level are generally the same as those applied at the operating segment level and there are no material intersegment sales. The segments are allocated interest expense, based upon a pre-determined formula, which utilizes a percentage of each operating segment's intercompany balance, which is offset in corporate/eliminations.
	Prior period disclosure of net sales by product category has been reclassified to conform with the new operating segment structure which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. Segment data for each of the Company's segments are presented below:

Contingencies and Derivative Settlement [Abstract]	'
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	'
	Contingencies
	The Company is currently, and has in the past been a party to various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business.  If management determines, based on the underlying facts and circumstances, that it is probable a loss will result from a litigation contingency and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued for.  The Company believes its outstanding litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate; however, due to the uncertain outcome of these matters, the Company disclosed specific matters as outlined below.
	The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology.  As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners.  Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages. As of November 30, 2013, the Company accrued approximately $1,200 related to the potential infringement of certain patents for which the Company has been approached by third parties. No legal action has been taken against the Company as of November 30, 2013 related to these alleged infringements and the Company is currently consulting with legal counsel and engaging in discussions with the third parties in question in order to determine whether infringement has taken place and to remediate such issues, if necessary. The Company believes this accrual is a reasonable estimate of the expenditures required to resolve these matters.
	The Company has been a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against several defendants relating to the alleged price fixing of certain thin film transistor liquid crystal display flat panels and certain products containing these panels purchased between the years 1999 and 2006, and the violation of U.S. antitrust laws. This class action suit was decided in favor of the plaintiffs and in July 2013, the judge in the case ordered the distribution of the settlement funds that had been ordered to be put aside by the defendants. Voxx received a sum of $5,225 during the second quarter of Fiscal 2014 as a result of the distribution of these funds, which has been recorded in "Other Income (Expense)" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A final accounting of these settlement funds has not been completed as of November 30, 2013 and Voxx expects to receive approximately $1,200 of additional funds during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014. No gain contingencies were recorded for these additional funds as of November 30, 2013.
	The Company was party to a breach of license agreement lawsuit brought against it by MPEG LA, LLC ("MPEG"). In June 2012, the Company reached an agreement with MPEG and agreed to a settlement of $13,096 in final resolution of the matter. As a result of this settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $9,475 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 ($3,621 had been estimated and recorded by the Company in Fiscal 2012). The charge was recorded in "Other (Expense) Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has sought indemnification from its suppliers for royalty payments previously paid to them that it maintains they were responsible to remit to MPEG and has vigorously pursued its option under its indemnification agreements. The Company completed negotiations with one vendor for an amount of $1,110 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, which was recorded as an offset to the settlement expense as a recovery in "Other (Expense)Income" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), for a net charge of $8,365 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012. Additional recoveries of $5,689 were negotiated and recorded by the Company during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, no additional recoveries have been recorded related to this lawsuit and the Company is not aware of any additional vendors that it may recover funds from related to this matter.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which requires an entity to report, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This disclosure only guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and has been adopted by the Company for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company will reflect the impact of these amendments beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.

, the Company has a Credit Facility (the "Facility") with Wells Fargo. The Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $205 million, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $130 million (comprised of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $80 million and a $50 million multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50 million is available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros); and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million. $110 million of the U. S. and Euro revolving credit facility is available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20 million was available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. The Amended Facility includes a $25 million sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10 million sublimit for Swing Loans.Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.25 - 2.25% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 - 1.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of NovemberB 30, 2013, the interest rate on the Facility was 2.28%.The $75 million five year term loan facility is payable in twenty quarterly installments of principal commencing May 31, 2012, each in the amount of $3,750. All other amounts outstanding under the Facility will mature and become due on March 13, 2017. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time without premium or penalty. On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge LIBOR interest rate exposure related to a portion of the Facility borrowings. The first interest rate swap agreement applies to interest payments related to the first $60 million of the term loan portion of the Facility and the second swap agreement applies to interest payments related to the first $25 million of the U.S. revolving credit facility balance. The interest rate swap agreements fix the LIBOR rates for these two portions of the Facility at 0.515% and 0.518%, respectively, and mature on February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. For the quarter ended NovemberB 30, 2013, these cash flow hedges were deemed to be highly effective. Refer to Note 3 for the unrecognized gain recorded for the quarter ended NovemberB 30, 2013 and the interest rate swap asset balance at NovemberB 30, 2013.The Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio, a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio and Capital Expenditures.The Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items (including capital expenditures). As of NovemberB 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.The Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: failure to pay principal thereunder when due; failure to pay any interest or other amounts thereunder for a period of three (3) business days after becoming due; failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Facility; failure to satisfy certain judgments against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries); certain insolvency and bankruptcy events; and failure to pay when due certain other indebtedness in an amount in excess of $5 million.The Obligations under the Facility are secured by a general lien on and security interest in the assets of certain entities of the Company, including accounts receivable, equipment, substantially all of the real estate, general intangibles and inventory provided that the assets of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and the foreign guarantors will only secure the Foreign Obligations. All Guarantors other than subsidiaries of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH have jointly and severally guaranteed (or will jointly and severally guarantee) the obligations of any and all Credit Party Obligations, and each Foreign Guarantor will jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of Hirschmann Car Communications GmbH under the Credit Agreement (i.e., the Foreign Obligations).On March 14, 2012, the Company borrowed approximately $148 million under this credit facility as a result of its stock purchase agreement related to Hirschmann. As of NovemberB 30, 2013, approximately $115 million was outstanding under the line.The Company incurred debt financing costs related to this Facility and a previous facility, which was amended and restated, totaling approximately $6,400. These deferred financing costs have been included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Facility. During the three and nine months ended NovemberB 30, 2013, the Company amortized $344 and $1,033 of these costs, respectively, compared to $302 and $907 during the three and nine months ended NovemberB 30, 2012, respectively, which are recorded in interest expense.
