On the industry: “Safety will continue to be a driving factor for both personal and commercial use in vehicles. Drivers need more information to avoid mishaps and save companies and individuals from lost time and money due to accidents.” — Steve Petrillo, president
METRA ELECTRONICS At the booth: Showed mobile electronics accessories including dashboard kits, wire harnesses, antennas, antenna adaptors, heaters, sound dampening materials and batteries.
On the industry: “Integration is as much about fit and finish as it is electronics. We made a commitment to customers that if there was any way to provide products to put aftermarket electronics in the car, we will do it.” — Phil Lauer, vice president, new product development
MOBILEYE At the booth: Mobileye 560 advanced driver assist collision avoidance system On the industry: “Our role is to be a leader in an emerging technology that can benefit mobile electronics retailers, expediters and the end user. Mobile electronics has a future if more dealers took advantage of the safety category. As most are, they are slow to add new technologies to their mix, until as a manufacturer you drive business to them. Only a small percentage of retail- ers see the safety category as a serious revenue stream for the future.” — Donna Bahena, marketing manager
REDTAIL TELEMATICS At the booth: GPS tracking devices with locate-on-demand services for tracking stolen vehicles. On the industry: “Whether it be audio, video or more security products, the after- market space will always be global. In the electronic business, it’s at the core of what we do. I know there are different areas for us to focus. Hopefully we’ll take advantage of them.” — Anna Amoresano, vice president, sales and marketing
XS POWER At the booth: Full line of 12-, 14- and 16-volt power cells, along with the mobile audio and racing products. Also featured the new XP750-CK secondary battery combo kit, other Big 3 kits and secondary battery wiring kits and the new XS Power Intelli Power Supplies. On the industry: “I do not think it is any mystery that today’s customers want the newest and technologically advanced products out there. Te average customer going in to the mobile audio shops today is not looking for a 10,000-watt system. Tey are looking for a smaller powered system and the most advanced head unit or acces- sories that will make them as hands free as possible. Forward-thinking engineers have to develop products today to meet the power requirements that customers will have in the future.” — Nathan Way, sales and marketing manager
