Aftermarket Daily News 8 3 Thursday, November 2, 2017 ACDelco Adds Lighting Wiring Harnesses to Aftermarket Portfolio ACDelco General Director of Product Development David Mestdagh announced that independent repair shops can now – for the first time ever – pur- chase GM OE wiring harnesses for mil- lions of late model Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles directly from ACDelco distributors. The tail lamp and headlamp harness- es cover 377 different product applica- tions. The vehicle population includes millions of cars, crossovers and trucks. "ACDelco is the true GM original equipment replacement parts brand, and our goal is to make it easy for shop own- ers and technicians to do high-quality repairs as quickly and efficiently as pos- sible," Mestdagh said. "That's why we are consistently increasing the number of parts available directly from ACDelco to the aftermarket and why we continue to invest in all aspects of our business, from order to delivery." While some aftermar- ket parts can create fitment issues, ACDelco GM OE harnesses are designed by GM engineers to exact vehicle specifications, pro- viding a perfect fit. This allows for more efficient repairs on GM vehicles, helping to sig- nificantly reduce repair times. ACDelco GM OE harnesses also pro- vide better protection than competitors against issues such as water wicking and road debris. Harnesses not designed to exact vehicle applications could be more susceptible to these types of problems. The introduction of wiring harnesses marks another expan- sion of ACDelco's aftermarket product portfolio as this year ACDelco has intro- duced 1,264 OE part numbers. Previously only available to dealers, these products include engine strut mounts, pinion gear seals and fuel pump sensors, among others.

Using Great Day's opposing forces technology, the Center-Lok Gun Rack for pickup trucks, SUVs and autos installs in just five minutes with no drilling or bolt- ing required.

No other manufacturer is working harder than Great Day to make that possible. The clever design of the Center-Lok positions two firearms snugly against the headliner of the vehi- cle, totally out of sight of passersby.

The startup Smack Innovations, a SEMA Launchpad semifinalist, has just the device for you. Imagine being able to smack your steering wheel to hear real drum sounds on your car speakers on top of the music you're listening to. Smack's aftermarket "Deluxe" model makes it possible. Just like SafeConnect, another Smack Innovations product, the Deluxe model allows drivers to safely use fea- tures and apps of their smartphone. In addition, however, the Deluxe model also helps drivers combat highway hypnosis (a state of zoning out experienced by drivers on long trips) and stay alert through tactile and auditory stimulation. The Deluxe model has eight additional sensors to keep a driver alert. By smack- ing these eight sensors, drivers can add eight different drum sounds to the music coming out of their car speakers. As a safety feature, one handed drumming of four different drum sounds is possible while driving, but at a standstill, like a traffic jam, drivers can add all eight. Since there is no view screen and all con- trols are on the steering wheel, a driver can always keep eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and phone in his pocket. Both SafeConnect and the Deluxe model connect wirelessly to your phone and can clamp onto any steering wheel in seconds. The eight extra sensors of the Deluxe model are contained within classy, black material which velcro to the circumference of your steering wheel like a steering wheel cover. A driver can push buttons to dictate and send text messages and emails, make phone calls, get direc- tions to the cheapest nearby gas station or best nearby restaurant according to Yelp, dictate the music he wants to hear on his car speakers and much more. The aim of Smack Innovations is to make every app on the user's phone compatible. For more information, go to www.smack innovations.com.

AMH Canada Ltd. has launched a new and unique line of UV curing lamps developed and designed with the most advanced LED technology. The SPEC- TRATEK UVLED lamps are destined to revolutionize UV curing in the automo- tive repair and industrial finishes. A top team of designers, technicians and LED experts, working at AMH Canada Ltd.'s state-of-the-art research and testing facilities and in cooperation with the coating industry, responded to the growing use of UV coatings in the automotive refinish and repair market.

On the market since January 2017, SPECTRATEK UVLED is faster, safer and more efficient than any other con- ventional UV curing system for automo- tive repair and industrial finishes. The SPECTRATEK UVLED lamps provide high-intensity curing, up to 16uW/cm2 on a large and uniform curing area, providing superior quality results for the users. With a lifetime of up to 35,000 hours (com- pared to 500 hours for standard UV curing lamps) and a low energy consumption, SPEC- TRATEK UVLED allows substantial cost savings and makes it an environmentally-friendly solution. AMH Canada Ltd. ensures high quality control according to the most rig- orous international standards throughout the SPECTRATEK UVLED pro- duction process.
