New AutosoundsFleet B2B website is launched!

 
As we've said in our previous blogs the industry has changed and is still changing so it means for Autosounds to stay ahead of the competition we have to change the company dynamics. We've been dealing with local and national SME's to Plc businesses for over 10 years but we have never had a dedicated website for them to visualise us through, we feel it's important that our customers don't just think of us as a car audio specialist especially when we are seeking to win new business for the first time.

Over the years our reputation has excelled into which we have become approved suppliers for large Plc’s, local councils as well as a large number of commercial, light commercial, car dealerships and large leasing companies. We pride ourselves in our technical knowledge of all aspects of after market accessories and are able to source from a wide range of suppliers to enable the best price and product for your requirements.

We now have 3 dedicated account managers looking solely after our business users so we can assure our clients of exceptional service and aftersales.

Our new website promotes this!! Please visit it and let other businesses users know we are more than an in car entertainment specialist!

Rosen reveal market first!







Rosen Entertainment will reveal at the SEMA show next month, the first aftermarket headrest monitor to our knowledge that provides a handy top slot to dock your iPhone or iPod touch.

Rosen AV7900 entertainment system

The AV7900 headrest system lets you nest your iPhone in the headrest where it charges and is able to send video to the headrest screen and audio to the car’s sound system. The iPhone compartment also has slots for a USB drive and micro SD card.

The new headrest system is also unique in that its components—the LCD screen, the DVD player and the iPhone cuby are removable by the dealer. Inside the headrest is a “bucket” that contains the various components. The retailer can open the bucket and remove or add components, so customers get the features they want.

The headrests use 7-inch, high definition screens with improved resolution over earlier models. Each also now comes with 50 built-in games (compared to earlier models with 25). “So those who just want two screens and an iPhone dock still get 50 games,” said Rosen’s Steve Weimar.
The screens also include capacitive touch controls instead of mechanical buttons.
The headrests will ship in January at prices to be announced along with new OE look-a-like (OE replacement) radios from Rosen.

The Piranha series of double DIN factory replacement AV radios include stereo Parrot Bluetooth and 6.5 inch high definition LCD monitors. They provide USB control of an iPhone and iPod and they come with built-in steering wheel controls. Also included is navigation and a back up camera interface with instant on. We will report on this when we know more details.

Autosounds win new contract for the installation of Quartix Tracking systems for the AA




We are very pleased to announce a new contract for the installation of tracking systems via Quartix for the AA, the idea is that the system measures things such as monitoring speed, braking severity, cornering and the types of roads used during certain times of day.

All of this can only help in reducing insurance premiums which have rocketed. The main reason that insurance premiums are so high is down to the fact of the "where there's a blame there's a claim culture" great you get £2'000 for whiplash but enjoy your insurance premium hike next year!

Either way though we are pleased to have won this contract and it can only make is stronger for 2013.
