Crimestopper (www.crimestopper.com), an industry leader in 12 Volt aftermarket electronics specializing in vehicle security, remote start systems, and safety products, has launched its new website.

From product information to account status to everything in between, we are proud of the result.”                                                                                                      Crimestopper.com now allows installers to easily find product data along with new sales tools, including product news, archive search, and media gallery. The dealer dashboard also helps dealers with order status, account invoices, and credits.

“Our new support center is a search­able knowledge base, so you can easily find the right installation doc­uments,” Klement continued. “You can also subscribe to notifications and get emailed when an updated document is released, such as owner’s manuals, technical briefs, and product advisories.”

Additional new features also help customers by providing the abilities to compare products, view product videos, search for a dealer, and more.

Added Eric Russell, Crimestopper webwizard, “In addition to all the website’s new tools, dealers and customers can link directly to Crimestopper’s social media accounts (facebook.com/crimestopperinc; twitter.com/crimestopperinc; youtube.com/crimestopperinc) for up-to-date information 24/7.

An industry-leader in all things audio – and well known for its generosity toward the motocross industry for the past two decades – Rockford Fosgate joins RedBud MX for the first time as a presenting sponsor for the popular MX National. Sponsor of the RCH Racing team, Rockford Fosgate subwoofers, car speakers and car amplifiers are a mainstay in the rides of top pro motocrossers as well as amateur racers across the country.

“Great atmosphere, great crowds, and a hard-core passion for racing are what RedBud MX is all about,” said Tammy Lowe, Rockford Fosgate director of marketing. “As a presenting sponsor for the five-day festival and championship with a legion of our own hard core audio fanatics, as well as with our partnership with RCH Racing, it’s only natural for Rockford Fosgate and RedBud to align for such a great event. We are excited to be part of it.”

Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort continues its partnership with RedBud, returning for the third-consecutive year as the presenting sponsor for RedBud’s long-running (since ’74) MX National. And the partnership with Soaring Eagle continues when Michigan’s top gaming destination opens its doors to motocross racers for the annual running of the “Edge of Summer MX” event this September – produced by RedBud – on the grounds of Soaring Eagle.

“We’re pumped to have the premier gaming facility in Michigan, Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, back on board this summer. We’re looking forward to working with them on both the RedBud National and the ‘Edge of Summer MX’ event,” added Ritchie.

Said Raul Venegas, Director of Marketing and Entertainment for Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort: “Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort is proud to continue its partnership with RedBud MX. The tie into the outdoor nationals, Edge of Summer and the multiple activities at our luxury resort & casino is an amazing pairing. We’ll be on-site at RedBud giving away some really aggressive promotions for both the resort and gaming. We look forward to another great race at RedBud and for our Soaring Eagle RCH boys to take home another win!”

The PM2T-S also features multiple mounting options such as surface mounting using our discreet dual clamp tweeter mounting system or an optional horn loading mounting flange to provide more directional and higher output volume.

The PM2T-S kit also comes with an inline audiophile-grade 18dB crossover pack to ensure proper filtering of unwanted frequencies, protecting the tweeter while directing the proper sound to it.

Two-Day Event (July 6-7) Was Attended by Rep Firms Covering All 50 States; Focused on Complete Immersion in New Remote Start and Telematics Products, as well as Upcoming

New Product Launches and Dealer Programs and Initiatives for Latter Half of 2016

TEMPE, Ariz. – July 20, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com) recently held its 2016 National Rep Meeting in Montreal, Canada. The two-day event (July 6-7) was attended by all rep firms from all 50 states.

“Day one of the meeting included a complete immersion in our newest product offering of remote start and telematics,” explained Theresa Anthony, Rockford Corp. vice president – sales and marketing. “Our sales reps participated in a full day of training at Automotive Data Solutions Inc. (ADS) on the new iDataStart® HC3 remote start system. Everyone had the chance to get their hands on the product, ask detailed questions about how the Flex configuration works, discuss the advantages of our buy-in program for dealers, and get an in-depth look at Autolink, Rockford Fosgate’s new telematics solution.”

Zach Luke, Rockford’s national sales manager, kicked off day two with discussions of improved service to Rockford Fosgate dealers, programs, growth for the second half of 2016, and a full download on Rockford’s new motorcycle audio kits that are shipping in late July.

“We’re in a great position moving into the second half of 2016,” Luke said. “Our product offering in categories complementary to mobile audio, such as side-by-side and motorcycle stereo integration, has opened up entirely new platforms for our retailers. But with these new products comes an evolution in our business…that’s why we pulled our entire sales force together. They need to be focused, knowledgeable, and have the right tools to provide the best service to our customers.”

Recently, Rockford Fosgate and ADS announced the launch of the all-new iDataStartÒ HC3 remote start system with FLEXÒ RF technology. HC3 is exclusively available through Rockford’s U.S.-based network of representatives.

With iDataStart HC3, mobile electronics retailers are offered the versatility of stocking a single remote start system, equipped with two 2-way LED remote controls, configurable in one of three configurations at the time of sale: FLEX 1W (1-way, half-mile), FLEX 2W (2-way, half-mile) or premium FLEX 2WX (2-way, 1-mile) delivering up to a genuine 1-mile of FCC-approved operating range.

At a later date, consumers can elect to enhance their experience with a FLEX configuration upgrade and this without any hardware transformations. Retailers can also choose to offer a free 30-day 2WX trial for customers who would rather try FLEX 2WX before accepting an upgrade purchase.

The iDataStart HC3’s “All-In-One” hardware features ADS’s industry-leading on-board vehicle integration technology with support for more than 10,000 vehicles. HC3 is also compatible with a complete selection of T-harnesses (sold separately) and offers integration with the most popular smartphone telematics solutions.

Rockford Fosgate is offering the iDataStart HC3 with an aggressive buy-in program. The dealer inventory carrying cost is reduced to as low as 35 percent with the balance (up to 65 percent) only billable at the time of the installation.

Rockford Fosgate will be shipping the iDataStart HC3 to dealers in early September.

“Consumers have made it clear that they want the ability to control everything from their smartphone,” explained Theresa Anthony, Rockford Corp. vice president – sales and marketing. “But many have waited to add this to their remote start system because the initial retail cost is too great and there are expensive service fees to be paid. That’s why we have worked to bring a solution that is both well-equipped and affordable.”

The multi-brand compatible autolink add-on interface module allows control of an aftermarket remote start system through a downloadable Smart phone application. The app provides control of a vehicle from virtually anywhere network service is available. Additionally, an integrated GPS locator will show the user where the vehicle is at anytime from anywhere.

TEMPE, Ariz. – August 1, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate has announced the launch of new Power Series audio kits specific to Harley-Davidson motorcycles, model years 1998-current. The audio kits include speakers, amplifiers, and installation accessories. The full line is shipping now with retail prices ranging up to $999.99 MSRP for a complete vehicle specific audio kit.

“Rarely is anyone completely satisfied with motorcycle stock audio equipment, especially when riding on the open road,” said Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “A reason many don’t upgrade their systems is because they don’t want to have to modify their bike in order to add new components. Our new motorcycle speakers have been designed as a direct fit premium quality audio solution with ease of installation in mind. These components deliver the audio experience that people expect from Rockford Fosgate, but require no modification when installed in factory locations. Great sound with relatively no effort!”

The new Power Series audio kit options include a wire harness which works for 1998 and up Harleys that includes mounting brackets and wire connections. All kits also come with new bike-specific grill assemblies.

All wiring is pre-terminated and is designed for simple plug and play installation.”

Braaten added that the TMS5 full range coaxial speaker is designed for direct fitment applications in 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the Tour-Pak locations. “This speaker directly replaces the existing factory speakers using the factory mounting hardware and speaker connectors,” explained Braaten. “It features a compact Neodymium motor structure, as well as an ultra-efficient 25mm dome tweeter with integrated phase plug for crisp clear highs even at highway cruising speeds. It is made water/weather resistant, and requires no modification of the factory location and comes with new grille assemblies.”

TEMPE, Ariz. – Sept. 13, 2016 – The outdoor environment can be unforgiving on audio gear as both terrain and weather can wreak havoc on these components. With that in mind, Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), an industry leader in high-performance audio systems, has announced that the new Stage 5 Audio Kit Solution (RZR-STAGE5) is now shipping. Utilizing Rockford Fosgate’s premium Power Series components, the top-of-the-line RZR-STAGE5 has an MSRP of $3,599.99.

“With the overall success of the existing stage 1-4 solutions, Rockford created the ultimate off-road listening experience by offering higher quality speakers, more amplifier power, and a high output subwoofer in the Stage 5,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford Vice President of New Product Development and Engineering. “All of the products, including the RZR-STAGE5, are designed to perform while out in the elements, and we keep the installation simple by offering very efficient plug-and-play kits designed to fit factory locations. Just like the RZR Turbo, this system is high performance and built to be the only audio solution you will ever need, no matter whether in the mud, sand, or on rough mountain trails.”

The new RZR-STAGE5 is a complete audio kit with a PMX-2 stereo in the cockpit controlling 1,150 watts of power. Tasked with harnessing all of the power is a 10-inch Power subwoofer hidden under the front dash and (4) Element ReadyTM Punch® speakers. All of the enclosures are purpose built for performance while offering quick and simple installation with little modification to the RZR.

Rockford Fosgate also offers Polaris® RZR® kits ranging from Stage 1 (RZR-STAGE1) to Stage 4 (RZR-STAGE4), as well as the MOTO-REAR1 add-on Rear Speaker Kit (for use with RZR-STAGE2 and RZR-STAGE3 Kits), with prices ranging from $349.99 to $2,199.99.

Rockford Corp. (www.rockfordcorp.com), has announced that after a successful four years of distributing products by Audiotec Fischer under the Brax, Helix, and Match brands, Rockford Corporation in cooperation with Audiotec Fischer, has determined that it will be beneficial to both parties to end the distribution arrangement.

Bill Jackson, president and CEO of Rockford Corporation, stated, “Everyone at Rockford, including myself, has the highest level of respect for Mr. Heinz and Mrs. Gudrun Fischer, their brands, and the technology they bring to the market place. However, at this time, Rockford has opportunities within its own brands that require its resources and therefore out of respect for Mr. and Mrs. Fischer, we have decided to end our distribution of the brands to allow them to re-address the North American market.”

Heinz Fischer, owner of Audiotec Fischer, stated, “I would like to thank Rockford for their dedication and efforts over the past four years, during which time our brands have been introduced to the masses and well taken care of. I understand and respect their decision and appreciate their support as we transition to a new distributor for North America.”

Rockford will continue to sell, service, and support the Brax, Helix, and Match brands until a new distribution partner is announced.
