LAS VEGAS NV (11.03.25) It’s SEMA Show time 2025 November 4th-7th. It’s time for the 12volt Central Studios to showcase the SEMA action from the LVCC in Vegas. The SEMA Show 2025 is such a huge investment for all across the automotive aftermarket industry and definitely including the 12volt industry. 2,000 exhibitors, retailers, distributors and reps will invest very substantially to be onsite in Vegas.
Carl Huntington and Lee Glover in the Heathrow London Airport ready to fly to SEMA. They arrived Saturday night.
The LVCC is 3.2 million ft.² under roof. That’s roughly equivalent to 74 acres spread across several separate large exhibit halls. Last week the 12volt Central Studios made quite a number of posts to showcase exhibitors by spotlighting their booths to make their booths and activities a destination for attendees. See #12voltsema2025 for SEMA Show action.
Team Nutz has big plans at SEMA. Ed Nuttall centers the DIYCustoms.store graphic on the van the crew will drive around Vegas during SEMA.
On Sunday, November 2nd, huge crates were on the floor of exhibit halls as booth were coming together. We encourage all attending the event to have a plan in place so they can maximize their ROI in Vegas. Certainly exhibitors can spotlight new products utilizing the 12voltSTP Tool by just snapping an image and texting it to 318-469-2526 a few words. Presto, we can make a post showcasing those new products.
Distributors can also extend their ROI when meeting with brands in their booths and snapping an image during an appointment to spotlight a product. Distributors too can also utilize the 12volt STP Tool along manufacturers reps to extend their SEMA ROI.
On Sunday, Dave Myers puts subs in the display in North Hall booth 10427.
Retailers on site can also snap images that they can utilize when they get back to their stores to make social media post to create excitement for their products and activities to drive in store traffic.
If today’s web-based digital world, being driven by AI, members of the 12volt industry must work harder than ever to drive consumers into retail brick and mortar stores. Seeing all of the products available at the SEMA show will provide retailers so many opportunities to create excitement in their marketplace. The 12volt industry is no longer just about Car Stereo. With in-vehicle connectivity, interface upgrades, dash cams, vehicle graphics, window tint, in-vehicle lighting and so much more there are so many opportunities brick and mortar retailers must step up to inform consumers to drive the in-store experience.
Let’s all work to extend the ROI from the SEMA Show 2025 to inform and connect with consumers to drive business across the brick and mortar marketplace.
We look forward to seeing all at @12voltnews, @12voltnews.com and in the 12voltBeat Newsletter that goes out to over 4,000 industry members early Monday and Thursday mornings.
November 3rd, 2025 – Orlando, FL – VOXX By Gentex Corporation is proud to announce the next evolution in its telematics experience. Visit VOXX Booth #10809 at SEMA to get an exclusive preview of what’s coming with the next generation of VIPER and DIRECTED SMARTSTART apps.
With a completely refreshed user experience (UX), the new apps deliver faster response times, enhanced vehicle control feedback, and a more intuitive interface for a truly connected car experience. The first phase of the rollout—featuring the new UX—is scheduled for January 2026, with additional feature enhancements to follow throughout the year.
Key App Highlights:
All-New Interface: Clean, modern design with real-time feedback and enhanced controls.
Redesigned Vehicle Status Page: Improved layout for a more intuitive experience.
Streamlined Menu Structure: Simplified navigation and quicker access to key functions.
Updated Vehicle Imagery: Optimized image placement for improved clarity.
More details to be announced at launch.
New Feature: Standalone Starter-Kill Support for VIPER and DIRECTED SMARTSTART DSM550/VSM550
VIPER and DIRECTED SMARTSTART systems have long supported Starter-Kill when paired with compatible security systems such as the 3108V, 5908V, or DS4. However, with this latest update, Starter-Kill functionality can now be activated in standalone configurations of the VSM550 and DSM550, providing a critical new layer of theft deterrence—even for vehicles without a full security system installed.
What This Means for Dealers
This is more than a feature release; it’s a rethinking of how flexible, secure, and user friendly VIPER and DIRECTED SMARTSTART can be. Your inventory just became more valuable overnight. The upgrade is available via an over-the-air update – no new hardware required!

SEATTLE, WA (10.30.25) – Firstech has announced the unveiling of the Drone XT GPS Tracker. Drone XT is a battery-powered, wireless, and magnetic GPS tracking solution designed for long-term monitoring of vehicles, trailers, boats, and other assets.
The rising theft of high-value, unattended assets — with annual losses from construction and marine theft alone exceeding $1 billion — creates an urgent demand for simplified security.

Key Features for Tracking Versatility
1. Built-in Lithium-ion Battery – No installation or wiring required. Rechargeable via USB-C cable. Firstech will provide specific details related to battery life closer to release.
2. Unlimited-Range Telematics – LTE telematics and GPS enable tracking from anywhere via a cellular network.
3. Versatile Mounting – Features a durable, magnetic case for instant, secure attachment.
4. Weatherproof – Water-resistant casing protects the Drone XT in harsh outdoor environments.
5. Smart Sensors – Movement and environmental sensors trigger location updates only when needed.
6. Mobile App – Users manage all tracking, alerts, detailed history logs, and settings via the DroneMobile smartphone app for iPhone and Android.
Following a 30-day free trial, Drone XT requires a subscription for LTE and GPS functionality. Subscriptions begin at $11.99/month, with additional savings available for prepaid plans – making DroneMobile and Drone XT one of the most accessible long-term GPS solutions on the market.
Firstech will publicly unveil the Drone XT at SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas, NV, from November 4th through 7th, 2025. SEMA attendees will find the Firstech booth in the North Hall at Booth #10221.
