“It’s Like Having Eyes In The Back Of Your Head”

Santa Fe Springs, Calif. – April 20, 2020 -- Accent Mobile, a division of Accele Electronics focused on solutions for Expeditors, Upfitters and Fleet Managers is pleased to announce, at a reduced cost, their latest innovative solution for Blind Spot Detection, the ultra-compact ACTBSS500. This Microwave Radar based system adds an extra set of eyes and warns the driver if there are any vehicles in either blind spot before and during a lane change maneuver. Microwave is more accurate than Ultrasonic systems, and it requires no drilling into the bumpers.

Two ultra-compact Microwave Sensors mount behind the bumpers and alert the driver with two compact interior mounted LED Indicators and a small speaker. “Our ACTBSS500 is unique in that it incorporates technology operating at 79GHz, this new higher Frequency offers 30 percent better performance in range resolution and accuracy when compared to our competitors 24GHZ,” said Bob Goodman, Director of Channel Sales, Accent Mobile. “Additionally, our new ultra-compact design, 400 percent smaller, allows installation behind bumpers without drilling and enabling the use of 3M High Temperature Foam Adhesive instead of drilling. The compact sensors have mounting tabs that bend and can fit on any curve inside a bumper, reducing installation time by 30 percent," Goodman added. "All these improvements have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in cost from our previous model."

He continued, “Consumer awareness of aftermarket Blind Spot Detection solutions is still quite low. Our industry as a whole has done a poor job of letting consumers know these systems even exist as an aftermarket option, if retailers are only selling backup cameras or ignoring this category, they’re doing themselves and their customers a huge disservice. Backup Cameras have been standard in new vehicles for a few years, but Blind Spot Detection is still only available in the highest of trim levels, as part of an ultra-expensive package or in the brands flagship vehicles."

Accele Electronics was a leader in introducing an aftermarket Blind Spot solution in 2016 and continues to offer Ultrasonic Blind Spot Detection solutions that are lower cost but require drilling. Since introducing our very first Blind Spot system in late 2016, we have continually improved each subsequent generation. Our original Microwave system, operating at 24GHz has been well received and was quite effective but our current 79GHz product has the advantage of years of real-world experience and development, leading to improved performance and functionality,” said Goodman.

The ACTBSS500 MSRP is $499.95. Like all Accent Mobile Products, the ACTBSS500 has a three-year warranty and is available immediately.
