12-14-2016, Mobile Electronics -- As the mobile electronics industry evolves, 12-volt manufacturers and retailers are constantly addressing the product categories that are most effective, those that are underperforming, and most importantly, the ones which represent where the business is headed.

None of that is lost on Bob Goodman, Director of Sales and Marketing, for Torrance, Calif.-based Rydeen Mobile Electronics, an aftermarket manufacturer that counts vehicle safety and convenience products among its core competencies.

“One of the challenges the 12-volt industry is facing is that we’re getting away from speakers and amplifiers, something we’ve been doing for 40-plus years,” Goodman said. “These days, the challenges of driver safety are becoming far more critical. If you make a mistake on the road or while driving, you could lose lives. If someone’s radio doesn’t work correctly, no one dies. It’s important that we get this right the first time—not the second time.”

Goodman, who considers himself an ambassador of sorts for the vehicle safety category, is trying to get the word out about its importance—not just to retailers, but to the industry as a whole. He may have more of a chance to do that, now that he’s been recently elected to the Vehicle Technology Division board of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Its key initiatives are to raise consumer awareness of automotive technologies and installation, and to serve as a leading voice on safe driving and vehicle-related legislative and regulatory issues.

“The challenge for us as a manufacturer is to create awareness within the category,” Goodman said. “The 12-volt retailers have not globally embraced this category, but they are starting to get it.”

In 2015, more than 38,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Safety Council. According to the Council’s annual report on unintentional injuries, the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road included alcohol (30.8 percent), speeding (30 percent), and distracted driving (26 percent).

All of the new technology in vehicles is causing more driver distraction behind the wheel than ever before, but part of it stems from the fact that 53 percent of drivers believe if manufacturers have loaded all this entertainment into their cars, then it must be safe.

Enhancing car security systems for occupants as well as pedestrians has become a greater priority for automakers worldwide. It also presents tremendous potential for aftermarket manufacturers.

 “We have shored up our resources and we’re adding new products that will get traction with consumers,” Goodman said.

Blind Sight

At the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) show held last month, Rydeen showcased four new products—three of which represented new product categories for the company.

One of the key introductions, according to Goodman, is the BSS1, the Blind Spot Detection System, with an MSRP of $599. “We have been selling side cameras as a solution for the blind spot issue, but we came up with an alternative in terms of sensors,” he said.

For the most part, Goodman explained, vendors use ultrasonic sensors for these types of blind spot devices that are similar to what is used for parking sensors. It has been the only alternative, until recently.

“Now we’re starting to see more microwave radar systems, which are far more accurate and easier to install for the 12-volt specialty retailer,” Goodman said. Rydeen’s new system employs microwave technology to warn drivers of any vehicles within their blind zones and, Goodman added, is more accurate than competitors’ systems employing ultrasonic sensors. The two compact microwave sensors mount behind the bumper, eliminating drilling into the bumper of the vehicle. Alerts are displayed with mini LED icons on each A pillar and a buzzer mounted behind or under the dashboard.

With installation being less complicated, it may open up more opportunities for the category. “In talking to installers and retailers over the last two to three years, blind spot detection is one of those things that the OE has offered on higher-end vehicles and parts of technology packages,” Goodman said. “The consumer is aware of it and has asked about it, yet many retailers we’ve spoken to have shied away from it because it required drilling into the vehicle. First of all, that can be time consuming, but the other issue was, if the consumer didn’t like the result, if their expectations and what the product actually delivered were not in sync, then they had an issue that there were holes in their vehicle that had to be addressed.”

Torrance, Calif. – January 7, 2019: Rydeen Mobile, the leader in mobile electronics innovations and Advanced Driver Safety Systems (ADAS), is proud to announce the introduction of new camera products at CES 2019.

Rydeen invented and introduced the small diameter mini-din cable connector about 10-year ago, which greatly improved the installation efficiency, shortened the backup camera installation time, installers no longer need to worry about making a hole big enough to run a RCA video connector through the vehicle body panel.

Rydeen innovated the cube camera picture quality by introducing MINy HD 7-year ago, is innovating the camera wire harnesses this year. “We are introducing the Quick Disconnect wire harnesses that allows installers ease of replacing the voltage reducer found in today’s camera products,” said Phil Maeda, president CEO of Rydeen Mobile Electronics. "Today’s Rydeen cameras became so much more reliable, due to the use of lower voltage operating CMOS sensors. Compare it to more than 10 years ago, when cameras were driven by 12-volt directly, thus easily burned camera modules due to overheating, therefore, we invented the short camera pig-tail cable with mini-din connector, allowed the ease of exchanging cameras."

"In recent years," Maeda continued, "in-line voltage reducer found on backup camera harness, may have caused issues under long hours of continuous operations, so we came up with the idea of “Quick Disconnect” so installers do not need to pull out entire wire harness from a vehicle."

“The advantage is very clear, with the use of higher gauge copper cable and added trigger lines and the introduction of the Quick Disconnect idea, the difference is clear!” said Jeramiah Mayeda, an owner at Al & Ed’s Autosound Lawndale Store. “Rydeen cameras are number one in quality and with the new Quick Disconnect wire harnesses, would ensures the peace of mind when installing cameras to our valued customers, even if anything may happen down the road, it would be quick to service customers."

Las Vegas, NV (December 27, 2016) – Rydeen Mobile Electronics, manufacturer of vehicle safety and driver assistance products announces a partnership with Automotive Data Solutions. This new partnership will deliver new safety products compatible with iDatalink Maestro audio interface products from ADS.

The Maestro PS1 is a parking assistance system that can be installed as a standalone, audible assistance system or a fully integrated audio-visual system when installed with a Maestro RR radio replacement interface and compatible aftermarket radio. In the standalone mode, Maestro PS1 can be installed in a variety of applications: (1) as a rear sensor add-on (2) as a front sensor add-on, (3) with the Maestro PS2 4-sensor expansion pack as front and rear add-ons. In all cases, the Maestro "PS1" chime speaker accessory is required and sold separately.

"We are excited with this product development and manufacturing relationship with ADS", said Phil Maeda, founder and CEO of Rydeen, "We are eager to support and bring to market advanced safety systems that consumers are demanding," Maeda continues. While the Maestro PS1’s standalone applications are quite versatile, its true power is realized when installed with a Maestro RR interface and a compatible Alpine, JVC, Kenwood or Pioneer radio. This combination offers customers with older vehicles or lower trim packages a way to add technology comparable to the best factory systems available today.

"ADS seeks partnerships with leaders in their product category," said Frank Barassi, President of Automotive Data Solutions. “Rydeen is at the forefront of advanced safety systems and getting these systems into the Maestro ecosystem has been one of our top priorities.”The Maestro PS1 parking assistance system and PS2 sensor expansion pack will be available to order from existing distribution partners in early 2017. Retail prices to be announced.

The BSS2LPBC has been selected for the Innovations award in Vehicle Intelligence category.

TORRANCE, Calif. - November 11, 2018 – Rydeen Mobile Electronics announced today the receipt of a prestigious CES Innovation Award in the Vehicle Intelligence category. "Our BSS2LPBC is an honoree and will be on display in Rydeen Booth 5606, North Hall as well as Innovations Award Showcase in Booth 83319, Hall G, Level 1 at the Sands Convention Center," said Phil Maeda, Rydeen Mobile's President and founder. “This product is currently available and offers drivers an advanced technology solution for avoiding accidents caused by blind spot during lane changes."

"It is a tremendous honor for Rydeen and validates our position as a leader in vehicle safety,” Maeda added. “Unlike most “OFF THE SHELF PRODUCTS” available from any other manufacturers, Rydeen has designed and built these products from the ground up, utilizing the highest quality components and extreme testing conditions to ensure superior quality and reliability.”

The BSS2LPBC incorporates the latest radar sensing technology and can easily be added to any vehicle for the extra protection needed in todays driving environment.

The BSS2LPBC Radar Blind Spot System “the BAR” uses microwave radar technology with highly accurate sensitivity sensing for distances of up to 35 feet for detecting objects within the driver’s blind spot. The system gives the driver a warning when vehicles are located within the driver’s blind spot. This microwave system provides the driver a flash warning when there are vehicles approaching either in the left or right blind spot. Advanced second-generation radar sensors within the unit provide much more accuracy than previous ultrasonic based sensor solutions from other companies. The system also uses GPS to initiate the operation above speeds ranging from 5/10/15/20 MPH that is user selectable eliminating potential faulty alerts in slow moving environments such as parking lots. Unlike other systems, it requires no drilling or removal of a vehicle's bumper for installation.

“BSS2LPBC installs on the top or bottom of a vehicle license plate, more importantly, it works on vehicles with metal bumpers giving millions of vehicles the additional coverage needed,” Maeda said. “Trucks and commercial vehicles with metal panels that never had an option for aftermarket blind spot systems before can now take advantage of this advanced technology." In addition, the system includes a backup camera and cross traffic detection features offering the total vehicle safety solutions for vehicle drivers TODAY!

Rydeen Mobile Electronics, a premier supplier of safety, lifestyle and convenience products for the automotive aftermarket, will be exhibiting at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. All products will be on display January 8-11 in the North Hall, Booth 5606 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information on Rydeen’s featured products, visit www.rydeenmobile.com.

ADAS product supplier is introducing a comprehensive restructuring of its 2019 business programs.

TORRANCE, CALIF., April 10, 2019 – Rydeen Mobile Electronics has introduced Opportunity 2019, effective April 15.

“Opportunity 2019 is precisely that; it’s an opportunity for us to reconnect with our 12-volt specialist, expeditor and distributor partners and focus on the opportunities that exist in the aftermarket ADAS category,” said Bob Goodman, Rydeen’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "It is my belief that 2019 is the tipping point for this category and we want to be certain that our customers are prepared to take advantage of it. Since my return to Rydeen we have been tirelessly negotiating with our manufacturing and parts partners to help us reduce costs without affecting quality or functionality. The result has been positive and we will be announcing reduced pricing on many items effective April 15th. Additionally, we will be restructuring our Profit Sharing business program for our distributor partners to increase their profitability plus a new prepaid freight program for our Premier dealers.”

Rydeen is also increasing in-store visibility with new POP and additional functional and passive displays to create consumer awareness in showrooms. Every customer is an ADAS customer, but we need to educate them and make them aware these solutions exist for their vehicles; Rydeen ADAS solutions are universal and not limited to a handful of vehicles.

“We’ve made a huge investment in R&D of sensor technology for our new Blind Spot Warning and Digital Park Assist systems and it’s paying off handsomely. Each week we receive dozens of calls from satisfied 12-volt specialists and expeditors who have tried one or another of our different solutions with excellent results. Many of these were actual replacement installs of competitors products,” Goodman added.

Rydeen further announced increased training sessions and materials will be available for their more advanced product categories with an “Opportunity 2019” installer and sales personnel certification program that will reward those certified with points for product and other incentives.
