Company named exclusive distributor of Railport aftermarket modules
Jan. 17, 2006 -- Johnson Controls recently named Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Brandmotion, LLC as the exclusive distributor of aftermarket modules for the company's Railport(TM) Vehicle Personalization System. The Railport technology, which debuted several years ago, is an automotive overhead system that allows consumers to customize their vehicle interiors via the attachment of various modular devices. A broad selection of modules can be used with Railport - everything from DVD players, MP3 players and Bluetooth wireless systems to first-aid kits and extra storage bins.

"The Railport Vehicle Personalization System -- which now is integrated as an original-equipment feature on several vehicle models -- delivers high value for both automakers and vehicle-buyers," said Byron Foster, group vice president - Interiors, North America for Johnson Controls. "Brandmotion brings strong aftermarket capabilities to the table, and -- as a result -- our Railport system will continue to grow, both in visibility and market impact."

Brandmotion develops, markets and distributes highly integrated automotive accessory solutions for consumers via the aftermarket. The company focuses on multiple distribution channels, including auto dealers, other distributors and expeditors, retail stores, Internet and catalog sales.

Current Railport modules available from Brandmotion include the AutoVision® Rear Seat Entertainment System from Johnson Controls; BlueConnect® Hands-Free Cellular Phone System, also from Johnson Controls; Motorola two-way radio system; Valeo air-purification system; and Valeo Thermeo®. Also available are a CD/DVD holder; dual sunglasses module; first- aid kit; premium cedar custom cigar humidor; storage bin; and tissue holder.

Great site. I am thinking about that Bluetooth hands free kit they offer..

 

It would be great if it connected to the radio, for the mute and playback through the speakers function. As it looks, it doesn't.

 

I was thinking the same thing. It doesnt appear that it does connect through the system though.

 

Wow, Christmas all over again....that's some cool stuff.

 

Just called the company, first of all, it will not be available until Feb or Mar 06 and not for general public. It will only be via retail stores in your local area.

 

Did anyone see the Magellan GPS??? That thing is cool! Wonder how much it costs..??..

 

What a crock. Likely to jam up the price. I'd like one of those humidors.

 

I'd say somewhere around 800...just guessing

 

Anyword on when we can get any of these products.....
