From the day it was bought from Darrell their focus has always been to flip it for a buck. When the company was run by DEI (Darrell Edward Issa) it was about building a quality product, brand cachet, profitability and exclusivity for the installing dealer (DEI customer). The original management team built that company and understood the direction it needed to go. No disrespect to VOXX they’re a good company but to see the shit show that venture capital made of Directed is upsetting.

Now we can bring some of our mobile video and ADAS products to these dealers,” Demers said”.

It’s not like those dealers couldn’t have brought in those Voxx products if they had wanted to…
