Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

SEATTLE, WA (03.30.2021) – With one day shipping from seventeen distribution centers, Elite Distributor Alliance (EDA) has broadened its footprint with the addition of SSR Distributors to the group.  EDA estimates that with this addition over 20% of the 12 volt product sold in the United States now flows through an EDA member.

Amir Dhahani added, “We are excited that our company got the opportunity to join such a great group. Our core values align with this association and I look forward to learning from and networking with experienced and principled business partners. I believe working with EDA will open up opportunities to demonstrate that distributors are an important asset to our industry.”

SSR Distributors is a family owned and operated business founded in 1998. With decades of experience and a wide range of product selection SSR has become one of the largest 12-Volt distributors in the country. They currently serve the 4-state territory Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

John Yodzis, one of the officers of EDA, and president of DOW Electronics said, “We looked long and hard at solutions for the Texas and surrounding market.  My company, DOW, has a strong presence in the same markets Amir serves, but we felt we needed one more member to really round things out.  Over and over again we kept coming back to SSR due to their customer service and strong reputation.  Here at DOW we’re really excited about jointly meeting the needs of the Texas and surrounding markets.”

EDA has grown substantially over the last four years and now is exclusively building and marketing a number of twelve volt brands including SPL Boxes, Triton Audio, and Nustart.

TORONTO, CA (03.29.2021) – The Inaugural Canadian Mobile Audio Industry Week Spring Showcase wraps Monday and Tuesday, March 29th and 30th respectively. The final 2 days of the 9-Day online LIVE streaming presentation will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, March 31st and April 1st respectively. The final 2 days will be presented in French.

CMA Industry Week… Week 1 highlights included 60 hours of broadcasting with over 80 sessions streamed. During the first five days over 50 brands top 12volt Brands announced over 100 new products. Presentations were available @canadianmobileaudio Facebook and YouTube with on demand presentations available.

Key to the success of CMA Industry Week 1 was the participation of 13 distributors across Canada who engaged the support of their vendors and coordinated their presentations with CMA staff.

Ben Woo, as the on-camera host, did a masterful job orchestrating sessions smoothly. Behind the scenes Frank Spezzano, CMA President, and Sheldon Hatch worked tirelessly in the background with Woo to bring all the sessions together.

Erik Harbour, PowerBass VP of Product Development and Global Marketing stated “At PowerBass we are grateful to have been included in such a great event. BB Distribution and CMA put on an excellent event and we hope the dealers enjoyed our session as much as we enjoyed resenting it to them.”

This screenshot during the 5 Axis Innovations presentation provided Jody Culbertson with a platform to show and explain new in-store displays, like this new wheel display with lighting, to dealers across Canada. This image pictured Ben Woo (Top Left) with Culbertson bottom left.

“Reaction to the first week of the CMA Industry Week Spring Showcase has been very positive. Our distributor partners have said they were able to connect with dealers across Canada, are having positive feedback about new products and that they are writing orders with their dealers” Spezzano related to the 12volt News Central Studios.

The Final 2 days of CMA Industry Week will be equally informative for dealers across Canada plus the US and around the world.

Posted on by in Featured.

RALEIGH, NC (03.23.2021) – Zorg North America has introduced a complete line of easy-to-install, plug-and-play trailer camera systems that automatically change the camera view from the tailgate to the rear of the trailer when towing.

Chris Luft pictured with a Zorg North America Trailer Connect Kit ready to make the installation.

“The Zorg North America team has designed custom kits for most Pickup trucks from 2015-2021 model years. The kits include a T-Harness that connects to the OEM tailgate camera harness under the truck, an IP69 rated waterproof switcher, a trailer connect kit with all parts required for both the trailer and the tow vehicle. The trailer side comes with either a white or black IR assisted, color, heavy-duty camera, 10-meter extension cable, and trailer side connector and bracket. The system provides all camera power, so no other connection on the trailer is required,” Cris Luft, Zorg NA GM stated.

After installation, the camera will automatically show on the OEM radio monitor anytime the trailer is connected, and the vehicle is placed in reverse gear. The installation does not require any cutting or modifications to the vehicle wiring.  Zorg will be releasing a similar system with a toggle switch for applications where customers have special application needs.

Zorg is now shipping kits for Ford (F-150, Superduty, and Ranger), GM, GMC, Ram, and Toyota Tacoma.

Note the system is not compatible with vehicles that have an OEM 360 view or LVDS type camera.

Principal Eboni Burts is excited to receive the big stack of items from Rob Ferro.

Rob Ferro, MR DS18, saw the news story on Local 10 News. “As soon as I saw the segment on the news I wanted to see how at DS18 we could help. I got in touch with Principal Burts and she gave me all the details about the burglary. I knew we had products like the Zumba Loud and other products and things that would help the school. We got together at the office and made plans to make a delivery to the school and relayed that to Principal Burts” Ferro stated.

Rob Ferro being interviewed by the Local 10 News crew with Janine Stanwood.

The school is not far from the DS18 HQ in Miami Gardens, FL.

“When we arrived with a pickup full of items for the school, that included speakers, games and toys, I was surprised to see the crew from Local 10 News at the school. Principal Burts told the station we were delivering items for the school and they wanted to report that on the news” Ferro continued.

Rob Ferro setting up a Zumba Loud speaker, in the class area, that features a smartphone Bluetooth media source and LED lighting that pulses to the music signal.

Once Ferro arrived Principal Burts came out with the students as Ferro unloaded the DS18 Pickup. Janine Stanwood, reporter with Local 10 News crew, filmed everything. The items were then taken into the classroom area where Ferro setup the Zumba loud speakers and showed all how to operate the speakers that include LED lighting.

Principal Eboni Burts happily shows one of the toys to some of the students.

Concluding Ferro offered “It was so great to see the big smiles on everyones the face. Providing these gifts to the school was also very rewarding for all at DS18. The segment aired a couple times on Local 10 News which was very heartwarming to see. The visibility for DS18 of this good samaritan effort was a real bonus for DS18.”

SEMA Show Organizers Announce Plans for New West Hall

Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

DIAMOND BAR, CA (03.19.2021) – SEMA is on track to deliver an exciting in-person SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) November 2-5, 2021. With exhibits included in the LVCC’s newly constructed West Hall, the entire SEMA Show floorplan will be optimized and offers room for new features and enhancements for an improved overall attendee experience.

“The industry is eager to reconnect,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “The return to an in-person SEMA Show gives resellers a chance to engage with an amazing gathering of suppliers, new products, stunning vehicle builds and networking opportunities. We are excited to provide our industry with a world-class marketplace that will help them grow and expand their businesses.”

This year’s Show will include exhibit space in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s newly constructed West Hall, a 1.4-million square feet facility completed in January during the COVID-19 shutdown. The new facility will house exhibitors from the Restyling & Car Care Accessories, Powersports & Utility Vehicles, and Truck, SUV & Off-Road sections. The realignment is one element of a comprehensive plan to enhance the entire attendee experience, connecting exhibitors with buyers throughout the four-day event with engaging and interactive features and activities. Details on additional resources, including a new online component that focuses on manufacturers, new products, feature vehicles, and educational resources, will be announced as they are finalized in the coming weeks.

With eight months to go until the event, nearly 1,000 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation in the 2021 SEMA Show. Buyers will begin to secure credentials as registration opens in May. SEMA also continues to work closely with the convention center authorities and the state of Nevada, where large-scale events are opening up.

“Demand from the industry to connect in a trade show environment is very strong,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events. “Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention Center are on a great path to hosting live events, and we are steadfast in connecting it all to deliver the best SEMA Show ever.”
