AAMP OF AMERICA^™ HITS SEMA 2008 WITH NEW CAR AUDIO ACCESSORIES, OEM INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS AND MORE  

Clearwater, FL (September 22, 2008) – AAMP of America^™ – the world-class innovator in automobile electronics design, development, and distribution – has announced that it will be showcasing its most revolutionary brands and products at the upcoming Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Tradeshow in Las Vegas, NV. Highlights at the AAMP of America display (booth 11119) will include the Stinger^® line of automotive power accessories and batteries, Peripheral^® OEM integration solutions, iSimple^® iPod integration products, hands-free Bluetooth^™ devices from Parrot^® and EGO^®, RoadKill^® sound dampening products, iDatalink^™ OEM remote starting and security solutions and Street Eagle^™ vehicle tracking technologies.  

AAMP of America’s flagship brand, Stinger, is renowned as the go-to brand for car enthusiasts looking to add maximum horsepower to their mobile audio system. Its critically-acclaimed PRO and HPM series interconnects, batteries, power wire, fuse holders and distributors offer outstanding performance, as well as slick aesthetics and state-of-the-art construction, ideally sited for today’s fastest and most dynamic rides. Dealers and retailers will also be treated to stunning merchandising solutions for Stinger, including POS and POP materials, slat wall displays and more that will allow dealers to maximize their space while offering a mix of products that fits their exact needs.

With more and more car manufacturers putting highly advanced safety, convenience and entertainment systems in their vehicles, Peripheral Electronics – the popular OEM integration solutions division of AAMP of America – will be showcasing a multitude of solutions for everything from radio replacement for vehicles equipped with OnStar^™ and Sync^™ to portable media integration, add-an-amp solutions, HD Radio^™, Bluetooth^™, and interfaces for security systems and steering wheel controls.  

AAMP of America will have a good portion of its booth dedicated to display its iSimple brand of automotive iPod integration systems featuring the Peripheral Electronics Automotive Multimedia Gateway. iSimple installation kits are currently available for numerous late-model Ford, GM, Honda and Toyota vehicles (individual SKU parts are also available for Nissan, Hyundai, Volkswagen) and seamlessly integrates iPod^™, HD Radio and many other portable media products into a vehicle’s factory audio system without losing any of the original features and controls. Additionally, the Media Gateway allows a user to control his/her iPod from either the clickwheel or through the vehicle’s radio. This enables users to track songs forward and back, as well as browse by artist, playlist, genre and album, quickly and safely.  Whether they do racing performance, audio performance or both, most auto tuners are concerned about noise reduction.

RoadKill – a Stinger sub-brand – offers a wide variety of easy-to-install, high quality sound dampening materials that provide superior noise reduction and virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations. Made with the highest damping properties available, RoadKill kits are 50% thicker and eliminate more noise than similar kits. They are also unsurpassed in their adhesiveness, offering maximum contact on dirty surfaces and reducing overall prep time. 

Several states have passed hands-free legislation regarding cell phone use, and many more are expected to follow. So, it’s of little surprise that Bluetooth mobile kits have become a hot issue in the aftermarket automotive industry. Parrot and EGO have established themselves as industry leaders in this field, and as an authorized US distributor of both brands, AAMP of America will proudly display several of their products at its SEMA booth. Products on display will include everything from entry-model, no installation necessary kits, to high-end solutions that feature full-color displays, audio streaming and much more.  

AAMP of America will also be demonstrating its StreetEagle^™ Vehicle Tracking Solution (VTS) – featuring 24/7 real-time monitoring and protection with comprehensive driver status reports and critical safety and convenience features – as well as cutting edge OEM starting and security integration solutions from iDatalink.   

According to Ron Freeman, CEO of AAMP of America, “Since the beginning, AAMP of America has stood for creating new opportunities for our customers to build value…and that’s no better demonstrated than by what we’re showcasing at this year’s SEMA. From top-quality audio interconnects to iPod integration kits, and from hands-free Bluetooth devices to in-vehicle tracking systems, we offer more products and accessories than anybody else out there. But, we’re much more than a one-stop shop; we also offer unparalleled customer service, training, tech support, merchandising and order fulfillment. And, we think you’ll see exactly that when you come visit us at booth 1119: a company that pairs technological innovation with total support to become a business partner and supplier you can count on to fulfill the needs of your company and your clientele.”
