Introducing new clever, flexible, safe Bluetooth car kits available in the US
by Michelle James
Exactly who is Seecode? Seecode exclusively specializes in Bluetooth hands free car kits. Seecode is ramping up its US wireless distribution channels this year, however they are certainly not new to the global market. Established in 2004 by Dietmar Jung and Edgar Venhofen who both have upwards of 20 years in the wireless industry is based in Koln, Germany with offices in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. They have been perfecting some of the coolest Bluetooth car kit solutions to hit the market. They are delivering four key innovative products to the US: the Wheel, the Tube, the Vision and the Vossor -which is a rearview mirror Bluetooth car kit! All products are fully integrated, including phonebooks and other great features such as multi-point functionality, the ability to have multiple phones operate simultaneously connected to the Seecode products while driving. Their dynamic design, German engineering and professionalism of the entire Seecode team make the cool factor of these products even more exciting. All four products are sleek, smart, easy to use and require no hard install. Quality Bluetooth car kit solutions, engineered with the highest spec standards and ready to use in minutes - that is who Seecode is.
The Seecode Tube is small, unobtrusive and fits conveniently on the visor of your car. Whether the sun is shining or clouds are lurking, the position of the sun visor does not matter as the entire Seecode Tube can rotate seamlessly as you position or reposition the visor. The clever design with rotating display allows a driver to maneuver its position without removing it from the sun visor, maintaining a clear view and perfect alignment of the display, microphone and speaker. The crystal clear OLED display is linked to one or two mobile phones using multi-point function. Calls will indicate just as they are in your mobile’s phone book, showing the name and number of the person calling. Synchronizing your phonebook is easy with the Seecode Tube. For added convenience, the Seecode Tube is also equipped with text-to-speech functionality. The Seecode Tube is EU patent approved and is currently US patent pending.
The Seecode Vision offers flexible mounting for customers to self-install in a location of their choice inside their car - in the center console, the dashboard, or windshield surface. Three universal holders are included in the Seecode Vision car kit including a gooseneck, air vent holder and flexible mounting pad to provide options for ergonomic and flexible mounting in any desired position. A driver can position and adjust their Seecode Vision with a clear view in close range that works best for their comfort in their individual car environment. The large keyboard allows quick and easy handling of calls, useful for those whose fingers are not so nimble. The same crystal clear OLED display, easy phonebook synchronization with text-to-speech functionality and multi-point function for two phones is also built into the Seecode Vision.
The Seecode Wheel is perhaps the most perfectly designed. It is compact and fully integrated Bluetooth hands-free device just like the Tube and Vision. However, the Wheel fits easily onto the car steering wheel. Again, like all other Seecode car kits, there is no hard install required. The Seecode Wheel is engineered to fit any steering wheel size and includes a high-powered battery for long conversation time. The position of the clear display, microphone, operating buttons and dual speakers, allow fast call handling with crystal clear sound quality. The Seecode Wheel is also EU patent approved and is currently US patent pending. Drivers can keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel with the line of sight of their Bluetooth car kit straight ahead of them on the wheel. Safety first!
The Seecode Vossor is actually a rearview mirror, easily mounted over your current rearview mirror. Like all the Seecode car kit solutions, it also combines all the benefits of the loudspeaker, microphone and phonebook without the need for any additional hard wiring or fixed installation. The Seecode Vossor diplays your call information at face level with a display in the center of the mirror. This product holds up to 600 contacts from your mobile phone and has multi-point functionality for up to three mobile phones. When incoming calls arrive, the name of the caller appears in the center of the mirror. Otherwise, it looks just like your typical rearview mirror! The Vossor Bluetooth hands free mirror product is one of the original Seecode products that has evolved greatly with customer feedback since its inception and is still one of their most popular car kit solutions today.
The Seecode Display. Innovation is not limited to the Seecode products. They also offer an impressive interactive point of sale display for retail customers who wish to trial the product while in the store. Each display is fitted with dummy units and an information button next to each product, which gives 30-40 seconds audio about the product when pressed. This has proven to increase sales among those retailers who have implemented this display. With interactive dummies, the merchandising display allows customers a fully understand how each product functions at point of sale in order to help them make an informed decision about which Seecode product is best for their individual usage needs while driving. This new interactive point of sale display is available as a freestanding display or as wall-mounted unit. The display is battery powered for placement flexibility for the retailer to position in store without placement restrictions.
Notably, the Seecode products were extremely successful this past holiday selling season in Europe. Seecode sold out pre-holiday production upon launching the interactive merchandising. Seecode is already gearing up now for production for 2010 as they grow distribution in the US. According to Craig Johnson, Director of Sales for Seecode North America, “The success of our products in Europe this past quarter has not gone unnoticed. We have received great interest since December in new customers coming on board, and consumers requesting the Seecode products at retail.” In addition to the point of sale merchandising, the Seecode team supports their retailer partners with sell through with market-specific public relations efforts. Having built a strong base in Europe, the Seecode team is diligently working with key carriers, retailers and distributors to extend distribution to the US.
