The Best New Mobile Electronics Product displayed at the 2019 SEMA Show was named as the new SEER advanced keyless entry system from VAIS Technologies.
By placing a small tag on your key chain, the SEER (Smart Entry Exit Recognition) system gives you keyless entry and exit without having to touch the handle of the car. The car automatically unlocks as you approach and locks when you leave. It also lets you control other car features such as a liftgate. SEER is due to ship in Q1 2020. See more here.
The Runners Up in Mobile Electronics were the AAMP Global, Ford Third Brake Light Camera with Cargo and Side Blind Spot Views and the Sony Car Audio XAV-AX8000.
Also, SSV Works took the Best New Product in the Powersports Product category with its Overhead Weatherproof Audio Solution for Polaris RZR 2 and 4 Seat Vehicles.
AAMP’s third brake light camera uses a single camera to show side views for blind spot monitoring and a third view of the truck bed to observe any cargo in the back. See more here.
Sony’s XAV-AX8000 is the company’s first 9-inch floating radio. The extra large screen hovers over the dashboard and can be adjusted in 3 directions for flexible installation. The single DIN radio includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Google Assistant. It’s due in December at $599.99 suggested retail price. See more here.
The SSV Works audio kit for Polaris RZR 2 and 4 Seat Vehicles is a single box solution with four built-in 6.5 inch speakers and 200 watts internal power. Through Bluetooth, users can stream music from their smartphone. It clamps to the factory cage and will ship around the first of the new year at $799.
