RAM, Ford F-150 models get upgraded Bluetooth, new tuner, better user interface, among new features.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIF., July 2, 2018 (MEDIAWIRE) –LinksWell Inc., manufacturer of smart, integrated vehicle safety enhancements for the aftermarket, announced it is shipping two new versions of its flagship T-style multimedia centers. The T-Style RAM and T-Style F-150 (both MSRP $1995.00) have gained hardware and software enhancements to address connectivity issues with first-generation products as well as retain more factory features in the F-150.

LinksWell T-style multimedia centers fully replace the factory entertainment and climate control systems, providing a single integrated touch-screen interface from which all functions are accessed. In addition, the T-style units easily expand to provide more camera views than factory systems, along with DVR camera control to aid in driving and maneuvering. Thanks to its Android™-powered architecture and Wi-Fi capability, the T-style takes advantage of hundreds of apps—including Waze™, Pandora Radio®, Spotify®, SiriusXM® and Google Play Music™ —to make the drive safer and more entertaining.

The second-generation models fit the 2018 version of the RAM and 2017-2018 F-Series line. Both receive an upgraded tuner to match OEM specifications, minimizing signal drift in fringe areas. Bluetooth is also improved with an upgrade to version 4.0, resulting in longer range and a more reliable signal. The user interface (UI) of each model has been reimagined to allow simpler access to commonly used features and enable faster absorption of visual information.

The T-Style F-150 builds on these enhancements. It is fully compatible with the factory-installed, 360-degree camera system on select models. From a design perspective, its bezel now accommodates the new array of up to six buttons located above the factory display, enabling drivers to retain access to ambient lighting and massage seat controls. An optional integration package allows compatibility with the factory-installed Bang and Olufsen audio system found on premium models. Regardless of factory options, the T-style F-150 will accommodate all late-model F-Series trim levels.

While other manufacturers produce units similar in design to the T-style multimedia centers, the similarity ends at the outer casing. T-style units feature custom hardware and software enhancements developed by in-house engineers that allow the units to reliably integrate with factory data and climate control systems. Each unit is thoroughly tested in actual installations from LinksWell's headquarters in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

"Truthfully, we've had some difficulty in communicating a message that differentiates our products from imitators due to the visual similarities," said Walt Detlefsen, national sales manager for LinksWell. "But the introduction of these two models, with more to come, speaks for itself. With the dedication of our engineering and R&D teams, as well as feedback from our dealer base and their installers, we are constantly working to improve our product and deliver the best possible usage experience for drivers.”

Both new models will ship in July. For more information, visit linkswellinc.com, or contact Walt Detlefsen at (909) 375-0631 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Five vehicle-specific models will ship before year end

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIF., November 28, 2017 (MEDIAWIRE) –LinksWell, producer of intuitive safety and convenience enhancements for drivers, displayed its new line of T-Style multimedia centers for select Ford, Dodge and Toyota trucks as well as the newer Ford Mustang, at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in November. Attendees got hands-on experience at the AE Distributing booth, which recently signed on to represent LinksWell in its territory. Today, LinksWell announced that all models are in production and will ship in December.

The models fit the 2014-2017 Ram, 2015-2017 Ford F-150 (separate SKUs for factory 4-inch or 8-inch screen), 2015-2017 Ford Mustang and 2014-2017 Toyota Tundra. The MSRP for each model is $1,995.00.

“We initially showed a couple of models at the MEA KnowledgeFest show in Dallas this past August, and were really pleased with the attention they got from specialty retailers,” said Walt Detlefsen, national sales manager for LinksWell. “Our additional strong SEMA showing indicates there is significant demand, and we are pleased to officially introduce the line to the industry.”

The T-Style multimedia center replaces the factory display screen and climate control center in select vehicles, enhancing the dash with a 12.1-inch, multi-touch panel encased in a factory-match bezel. The climate controls are recreated on-screen, allowing the driver to access all related features. Drivers can also view vehicle speed and RPM on the display thanks to connectivity with the vehicle data bus.

The Android™-powered multimedia center is optimized to display relevant information with minimal distraction. The top menu slides to showcase 14 icons of the most-used features. On-board iGo® navigation provides turn-by-turn instructions and mapping without an Internet connection. In addition to using the T-Style's built-in AM/FM tuner, drivers can utilize the factory USB port to connect smartphones, and an additional USB connector for flash media. Bluetooth® connectivity enables handsfree phone calls and wireless music streaming.

By connecting the T-Style to a mobile or smartphone Wi-Fi hotspot, users can access the Internet through a browser that displays full web pages with multiple tabs and search capability. They can also use their subscription-based streaming services -- Pandora® Internet Radio, SiriusXM® Satellite radio, Spotify® and more -- by downloading the Android-compatible apps onto the unit's 32GB of internal storage. In addition, drivers can use Internet-based navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze, and even program the default navigation icon to access these apps directly.

For safety, the T-Style has three dedicated camera inputs for front, rear and passenger-side views. Each activates automatically when the vehicle moves below 10 miles per hour, the vehicle shifts into reverse gear, or the right turn signal is applied, respectively. Phone Link lets drivers safely view their smartphone screens on the T-Style display with either a Wi-Fi Direct connection (iPhone® and Android) or USB (Android only.) And the DVR input enables live, continuous viewing of an additional camera to monitor back-seat infants or trailer contents.

"LinksWell fits our profile of carrying specialty lines," said John Haynes, general manager of AE Distributing. "We were pleased with their show traffic, not only from mobile electronics retailers, but from up-fitters and expeditors. More products like the T-Style and their camera and navigation add-ons will make LinksWell an important partner for expanding our business."
