	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, 2014. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Net Income Per Common Share [Abstract]
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,
		2014	2013	2014	2013
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding	24,322,307	24,341,897	24,396,987	24,060,492

	Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding	24,340,534	24,424,956	24,418,298	24,209,611


	Restricted stock, stock options and warrants of 156,291 and 0 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 and 108,489 and 0 for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these restricted stock, stock 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, 2014:

	(a)	Included in this balance is the Company's held-to-maturity investment in bonds issued by the Venezuela government, which are recorded at amortized cost taking into consideration the currency devaluation in Venezuela (see Note 4). Additionally, this amount includes investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method (see Note 4). The fair values of these investments would be based upon Level 3 inputs. At November 30, 2014 and February 28, 2014, it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of these bonds and cost method 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 and local operating expenses. The Company also has three interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its amended credit facility ("Amended Facility"), and the third hedges 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 of February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. 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). 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 $85 and $121 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, respectively and $(84) and $(114) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, respectively.
Financial Statement Classification
The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments. The following table discloses the fair value as of November 30, 2014 and February 28, 2014 of derivative instruments:

Cash flow hedges

During Fiscal 2014 and during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $29,060 and are designated as cash flow hedges at November 30, 2014. The current outstanding notional value of the Company's three interest rate swaps at November 30, 2014 is $6,695, $33,750 and $25,000. 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, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

(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, 2014, no contracts originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminated.

	Current Investments

	Held-to-Maturity Investment

	Current investments include an investment in sovereign bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method. These bonds mature in March 2015 and are classified as current assets at November 30, 2014.
	The Company recorded a remeasurement loss during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 of $6,702 in Other Income (Expense). The remeasurement loss was based on a change in the exchange rate anticipated upon redemption of the bonds. In September 2014, the Company received information, in addition to receipt of its semi-annual interest payment, that this redemption rate would be the official exchange rate of 6.3 Bolivars/$1 which differed from the SICAD 2 (See Note 16 for definition) rate previously used to remeasure the bonds.

	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 (Expense).

	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, 2014 or 2013. As of November 30, 2014, the Company owns 72,500,000 shares in its Bliss-tel investment, which carries a value of $0 at November 30, 2014 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, 2014.

	Other Long-Term Investments

	Other long-term investments include investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method. As of November 30, 2014, the Company's investment in Rx Networks totaled $1,985 and we held 15.3% of the outstanding shares of this company. During the three months ended November 30, 2014 the Company received a payment of $250 from Rx Networks as a repayment of funds loaned to the company in Fiscal 2013. No additional investment was made in Rx Networks during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company invested $3,000 each in EyeLock, Inc. and EyeSee360, Inc. The Company holds 3.5% and 6.5% of the outstanding shares, or their convertible equivalent, of these two companies, respectively, as of November 30, 2014. No additional investment was made in EyeLock, Inc. or EyeSee360, Inc. during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 in excess of the initial investment. The total balance of these three investments at November 30, 2014 was $7,985.

	The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.

	The Company granted 125,000 options in October 2014, which vest on October 16, 2015, expire two years from date of vesting (October 15, 2017), have an exercise price equal to $7.76, 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 3.0 years and a grant date fair value of $2.78 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model.

	In addition, the Company issued 15,000 warrants in October 2014 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 warrants table below and are not yet exercisable at November 30, 2014.

	The Company granted 256,250 options in 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 2.5 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 in 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. All of these warrants have been exercised as of November 30, 2014.

	During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company recorded $65 in stock-based compensation and professional fees related to stock options and warrants. As of November 30, 2014, the Company had $324 of unrecognized compensation costs and professional fees 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

	On January 30, 2014, the Company granted 84,588 shares of restricted stock in accordance with a newly established Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). 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 plan were granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. Upon vesting, the shares will be issued to the grantee or settled in cash, at the Company's sole option. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum of 12.75 years. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock, $13.62, 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, 2014:



		Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	Balance at February 28, 2014	84,588		$	13.62

	During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company recorded $75 and $226, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. As of November 30, 2014, there was $901 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding years ending November 30, 2019 is as follows:



Fiscal Year		Amount
2016		5,625

2017		5,598

2018		5,567

2019		5,383

2020		5,367



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. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company re-evaluated its projections for certain tradenames with a carrying value of $15,336. Accordingly, this action was deemed to be a triggering event for an evaluation of the recoverability of these tradenames as of November 30, 2014. The Company performed an interim impairment test for these tradenames, and determined that there was no impairment as of November 30, 2014. 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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Income Taxes

	The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for Fiscal 2015 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 46.1% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries. The Company's projected annual effective tax rate (excluding discrete items) is higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bonds, for which the Company will not realize a tax benefit.

	For the three months ended November 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $584, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, including a discrete benefit of $6,831. The discrete benefit relates primarily to the reversal of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 related to a favorable settlement of an income tax examination during the quarter ended November 30, 2014. For the three months ended November 30, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6,409.

	The effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 was a benefit for income taxes of 10.8% compared to a provision for income taxes of 31.4% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 related to a favorable settlement of an income tax examination during the quarter ended November 30, 2014 and the devaluation of the Company's Venezuelan bonds for which the Company will not receive a tax benefit.

	(a) Domestic Bank Obligations

	From March 1, 2013 through January 8, 2014, the Company had a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility had an aggregated committed availability of up to $205,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $80,000; a $50,000 multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50,000 was available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros; and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000. $110,000 of the U. S. revolving credit facility was available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20,000 was available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. The Credit Facility included a $25,000 sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10,000 sublimit for Swing Loans.

	On January 9, 2014, the Company amended and restated the Credit Facility (the "Amended Facility"). The Amended Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Amended Facility is due on January 9, 2019; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

	Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline 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 1.00 - 2.00% 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 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of November 30, 2014, the interest rate on the facility was 2.31%.

	The Amended Facility requires compliance with non-financial and financial covenants. As of November 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

	The Obligations under the Amended Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.

	As of November 30, 2014, approximately $76,600 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and Amended Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 totaled $73 and $212, respectively, compared to $47 and $112 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013, respectively. These charges are included within interest and bank charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

	As a result of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred additional debt financing costs of $1,455, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company accounted for the amendment as a modification of debt and added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility and its amended predecessor of approximately $6,700. These deferred financing costs are included in Other Assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Amended Facility. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company amortized $279 and $838 of these costs, respectively, compared to $344 and $1,033 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013.

	(b) Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation

	Foreign bank obligations include a financing arrangement 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 October 31, 2016. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.6% (1.7% at November 30, 2014), and the Company pays 0.22% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of November 30, 2014, the amount of non-factored accounts receivable exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

	(c) Schwaiger Mortgage

	In January 2012, the Company's Schwaiger subsidiary purchased a building, entering into a mortgage note payable. The mortgage note bears interest at 3.75% and will be fully paid by December 2019.

	(d) Klipsch Mortgages

	Included in this balance is a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch transaction on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance at November 30, 2014 is $459 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.

	Also included in this balance is a mortgage on the building which houses Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN. On June 3, 2013, the Company refinanced this mortgage with Wells Fargo for an amount totaling $7,800. The new mortgage is due in May 2023 and the interest rate is equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. Simultaneously on June 3, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure and pays a fixed rate of 3.92% under the swap agreement (see Note 3). The balance of the mortgage at November 30, 2014 was $6,695.

	(e) Audiovox Germany Loans

	Included in this balance is a mortgage on the land and building housing Audiovox Germany's headquarters in Pulheim, Germany, which was entered into in January 2013. The mortgage bears interest at 2.85%, payable in twenty-six quarterly installments through June 2019.

	(f) Hirschmann Line of Credit

On July 15, 2012, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €6,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The agreement is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.1% at November 30, 2014) and the line of credit is guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation.

Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Foreign Currency Disclosure [Text Block]	Foreign Currency

	The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has been troubled with 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 was 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 4.3 to 6.3 per U.S. dollar. Concurrent with this action, the Venezuelan government established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as Complementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD”). The amount of transactions that have run through the SICAD and restrictions around participation have limited our access to any foreign exchange rate other than the official rate to pay for imported goods and manage our local monetary asset balances. Although the official exchange rate has remained at 6.3, the government announced in January 2014 that the exchange rate for goods and services deemed non-essential would move to the rate available on the expanded SICAD currency market, which was 11.7 at February 28, 2014 (referred to as SICAD 1). In March 2014, a new exchange control mechanism was opened by the government, referred to as SICAD 2, which is not restricted by auction and is available for all types of transactions. The SICAD 2 rate does not supersede the SICAD 1 rate of 11.7 or the country's official exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes. The use of the SICAD 1 rate, however, is dependent upon the availability of auctions, and is not indicative of a free market exchange, as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. The Company, therefore, has used the SICAD 2 rate for its Venezuelan subsidiary for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014, which was approximately 50 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 at November 30, 2014, with the exception of the Company's investment in Venezuelan government issued sovereign bonds (See Note 4). The SICAD 2 exchange rate is intended to more closely resemble a market driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela's other regulated exchange mechanisms. A net currency exchange loss of $(6,232) was recorded for the nine months ended November 30, 2014, which includes the remeasurement loss on the Company's Venezuelan bonds of $(6,702), as described in Note 4, and is included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

	Our investment in Venezuela includes approximately $13,080 of rental properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. As of November 30, 2014, the Company made an assessment of the recoverability of its investment properties in Venezuela as a result of the existence of certain indicators of impairment. In testing the recoverability of its investment properties, the Company considered the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received from these properties, the length of time the properties have been held, the volatile market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, and the intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on our assessment, none of our rental properties were impaired as of November 30, 2014.

	Our automotive business in Venezuela and our ability to obtain U.S. dollars are impacted by the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government. The Company is monitoring this situation closely and continues to evaluate its local properties. However, further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.

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.

	Securities and Derivative Proceedings:

	As described in our Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2014, on July 8, 2014, a purported class action suit, styled Brian Ford vs. VOXX International Corporation, et al., was filed against us and two of our present executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The suit alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements between May 15, 2013 and May 14, 2014 regarding our earnings guidance for fiscal 2014 and the anticipated future performance of our business. Plaintiff claims that these statements artificially inflated the price of our stock and that purchasers of our stock during the relevant period were damaged when the stock price later declined. Plaintiff seeks the award of unspecified amount of damages on behalf of the alleged class, counsel fees and costs. We believe we have meritorious legal positions and defenses and will continue to represent our interests vigorously in this matter. On September 8, 2014, three members of the alleged class moved to be appointed the lead plaintiff in the action. To date, the Court has not entered an order appointing a lead plaintiff.

	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 an 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 adopted these amendments in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 and there has not been a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
