Posted on by in Industry.

CHICAGO, IL (01.15.2020) – Effective January 1st of the new decade, Alden Stiefel, President and CEO of Maxxsonics USA, announced that his long-time customer Service Manager Beata Wasilewski will be taking on new critical roles for Maxxsonics.

Beata Wasilewski

Wasilewski has been with Maxxsonics for 15 years and in this new role will be working to integrate Maxxsonics’ customers like Polaris and Kawasaki OEM businesses into Maxxsonics inventory forecasting and business planning.

Brian Cooper, Senior Purchasing Analyst with Polaris said, “In an environment of time crunches and fixing things gone wrong, working with Beata is a refreshing break from the norm. Any vendor which can support our needs with 2 emails and a bi-weekly 10 minute phone call is one I’m happy to buy from. There are no problems and no constant changes, just quick, effective communication and consistently easy management.”

Beata, or “B” to those that work with her on a daily basis, will continue handling OEM inventory and scheduling, rolling 6 and 12 month forecasting, and will remain the point of contact for new and current OEM customers.

Wasilewski will also continue in her role managing Maxxsonics core business customer service in the aftermarket audio category for domestic and export national chains, independent representatives, and distributors. In the months to come, she will be helping to facilitate the implementation and testing of a major SYSPRO ERP upgrade.

Beata Wasilewski, Director of Customer Support commented, “I am so excited to see how our systems and people are being upgraded across the organization. Alden has a saying, ‘The customer is always first.’ It doesn’t matter if it’s a young person, choosing their first adult subwoofer, or an OEM executive, modifying a 50,000 piece order — for us, they are all customers and we are striving to make the Maxxsonics experience world class.”

Directed Announces New DS4 Security Sensors

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

VISTA, CA (01.13.2020) – Directed has announced the addition of two new DS4 security sensors to its ecosystem of DS4 products. Since its founding, Directed has been at the forefront of automotive security, and these new security-specific sensors build on that legacy.

The Directed layout at the Hard Rock Hotel included new product introductions and in-vehicle SmartKey Technology demonstrations. Alcohol Detection System programs were also on the schedule.

The 8604W is a multi-function sensor that connects to DS4 systems via Bluetooth, and provides multiple functionalities and uses. The 8604W is truly wireless and is battery powered with an estimated 5-year battery life. Like all accessories for the DS4, it is configurable via the Directlink Mobile app. The 8604W can be configured in three innovative ways – as an impact sensor, a tilt sensor, or as a hood or door trigger. It is configurable to perform just one of these functions or all three at the same time.

The 8508D dual-zone proximity sensor is an update to Directed’s 508D. The 8508D sensor connects to DS4 systems via D2D2.0 and provides adjustable inner and outer fields via the Directlink mobile app. It detects moving high-density objects using digital field-disturbance technology and provides warn-away and full-trigger warnings to the DS4. The 8508D is ideal for convertibles or any vehicle where a customer may want to protect the interior contents from theft. It features a single D2D2.0 connection for communication and power, as well as a D2D2.0 pass-through port to add additional sensors.

“In 2019, we launched a number of security-only options for DS4. In 2020, we’re expanding our DS4 security options with the most cutting-edge sensors ever created in our industry,” stated James Turner, SVP & GM, Remote Start and Security at Directed. “The 8604W and the 8508D sensors add to the ever-growing DS4 ecosystem, providing faster, easier installation options for both technicians and consumers. Whether you’re protecting a convertible or a box truck, Directed has the best security options in the industry.”

Dual Electronics Introduces New In-Vehicle Headunits Including One with 10.1” Display

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

LAS VEGAS, NV (01.13.2020) – Dual Electronics Corporation has announced the introduction of three new in-vehicle media receivers. Key features include Apple CarPlay technology, Android Auto, built-in iGo Primo navigation, iPlug Smart Remote app control, a dedicated push-to-talk voice assistant button, Bluetooth technology, a 10.1” capacitive LCD, and FLAC playback. One receiver is available in January, and two will be available in February. All three receivers were on display during the 2020 International CES in Westgate Suite #2809, January 7-10, 2020.

The three new models in the 2020 media receiver lineup include one 10.1” 2-DIN touchscreen media receiver: DMCPA11BT (MSRP: $379.99); two 7” 2-DIN touchscreen media receivers: DMCPA70 (MSRP: $199.99), and DM620N (MSRP: $149.99).

Two receivers (DMCPA11BT, DMCPA70) feature Apple CarPlay, Android Auto a steering wheel control input that is compatible with most popular SWC interfaces, and high resolution 1024p x 600p screens.

Apple CarPlay is a smart interface for iPhone, which allows the driver to voice-control (via Siri) music, navigation, phone and messaging apps, thus significantly reducing driver distraction. CarPlay launches immediately upon connecting an iPhone to the receiver via USB; the familiar app icons will appear on the receiver’s touchscreen, including the home button to activate Siri voice control. This consistent, familiar interface makes the iPhone integration truly seamless. The user can navigate and control the phone apps through the receiver’s touch screen or using Siri.

Android Auto is a smart interface for Android devices, which lets the driver control music, navigation, phone and messaging apps verbally via the built-in Google Assistant. The Android Auto interface launches once a compatible Android phone is connected via USB. The user can then navigate supported phone apps through the touchscreen, or verbally command the Google Assistant by either saying “OK Google” or tapping the onscreen microphone button followed by a voice command.

One receiver (DM620N) includes built-in navigation with USA map data. This feature is powered by iGo Primo navigation technology, and includes 1.2M Points-of-Interest, Text-to-Speech, and the first map update for free. Support via the Naviextra’s website is available for adding additional features and updating map regions.

This receiver also features support for the iPlug Smart Remote app which allows an Android or Apple smartphone connected to the receiver via Bluetooth to control mode, station, song, volume, and settings without needing to be in the receiver’s line of sight.

Two receivers (DMCPA11BT, DM620N) include a dedicated front panel push-to-talk voice assistant button to activate the smartphone assistant on a phone connected via Bluetooth.

All three receivers feature support for FLAC playback, backup camera inputs, and built-in Bluetooth technology for hands-free calling (HFP), music streaming & player control (A2DP & AVRCP). Users are able to answer a call, redial, or manage call waiting directly from the receiver. Audio streaming allows basic controls from the receiver’s screen, including play/pause, back/forward, and volume up/down. Two models (DMCPA11BT and DMCPA70) also include Bluetooth phonebook support (PBAP) and use external microphones for improved voice intelligibility.

Sasha Susterman (CEO) and team traveled all the way from Miami, FL to show off all the amazing new products that DS18 has to offer for 2020. DS18 has a huge catalog that contains absolutely everything a dealer would ever need for any build… without having to source from other manufacturers. Everything is covered by an outstanding 1-year warranty where items can be repaired in house by our skilled engineers.

JEEP Products – One of the many things people love about DS18 is that they provide a massive amount of Jeep products for almost every late model Jeep on the market. Whether you have a JK, JL, TJ, or Gladiator DS18 some very innovative products for your every need. On the floor you will see the DS18 J-Loud rear facing wall of speakers that contain four drivers, four tweeters, and four 8-inch mids that mounts to the rear side of the Jeep’s roll bar. The J-Loud is sold bare bones so you can pick and choose your speaker combo that best suits your needs for maximum loudness. Also, the DS18 JK and JL soundbars come loaded with RGBs and speakers that will make old factory soundbar obsolete and turn a Jeep into a concert on wheels. In the line DS18has new bolt on jeep door pods that allow dealers to have a great custom show look and be able to upgrade to massive pro audio speakers for any door of your choosing. Last but not least the DS18 JSUB.2 was taken out of their most showed Jeep in the world (The Big Bad Wolf) and put into production for all Jeepers to enjoy…. if they are wanting massive bass in a custom Jeep box with digital LEDS and plexiglass windows so you can see the 12 inch subs it carries.

MARINE and Side X Side Products – DS18 also has a HUGE selection of marine applications that can fit on any boat and off-road vehicle for
the masses to enjoy. DS18 carries a multitude of speaker pods in sizes of 6, 8, and massive 10 inch. These pods will turn every head in the area to see where the sound is coming from. They also offer bolt on universal soundbars, dual speaker pods with included driver, dual sided pods, driver pods, and much more. DS18’s extensive line of marine IP65 rated amps are very durable and put out 100% of advertised power very efficiently. DS18 has also introduced marine grade flat amps like the NXL N4 so enthusiasts can have that perfect factory look without any protruding equipment anywhere.

DS18 has taken away countless awards for their pro audio and is now winning worldwide.

Both models come in 6 inches and 8 inches. There are over 700 items in the DS18 pro audio section alone which is more than 99% of any manufacturer to date. There is absolutely nothing for a vehicle you can’t find there. Any sub in any size will astonish you with the quality of build and finish will surly stand the test of time.

MOTORCYCLE Audio – DS18’s motorcycle following is huge to say the least. The company has many bikers blaring maximum volume on their bikes winning awards and breaking records wherever they go. Some of the newest additions are the Motorcycle specific SM6.2 and SM8.2 which have been beefed up to take the vibration and moisture that bikes are regularly exposed to without any problems. Torn and warped speakers are a thing of the past with these bike specific powerhouses. If that’s not enough, DS18 even beefed these bad boys up even more and added Neodymium magnets, so their sensitivity goes through the roof. What that means for all is they get louder on less power and handle more power more efficiently. Both sets of the SM6.2, SM8.2, Pro M6.2 NEO, and Pro M 8.2 NEO come with an RMS rating of 250w so all know these babies will scream. DS18 also offers many other different speakers that can be used in countless different applications for your bike so the whole town can hear you coming.
