Hello and welcome to the first issue of the Connects2 Magazine, a publication dedicated to bringing you all the latest news and product information from the company, as well as key industry headlines and events. This quarter, we’ve been busy travelling around the country and internationally to bring you a feature filled debut issue including extensive coverage of our trip to Switzerland in March for the annual Geneva Motor Show. Housed in the huge Palexpo building, the biggest and best iteration of the show to date was truly a marvel of automotive prowess, with manufacturers showcasing their new concepts, models and technology to the world. Read the full report on page 6. Back on site, our keen development team has had their hands full with a number of new, cutting edge Connects2 products. Highlights include the Installation Kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class and VW platform solutions for the Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Polo and Volkswagen Golf VII. On the Digital Radio front, we’ve been working hard to deliver a wider range of products and have launched the new AutoDAB Connect controlled by a bespoke remote control. Our long period of research into on board diagnostics has come to fruition with the launch of AutoLOG, a dongle and app which interface with your car to provide a detailed valuation and analysis of your vehicle. Turn to page 8 for a detailed look into the many features and functions of this exciting new product. Finally, this quarter has seen the release of our brand new 2015/6 catalogue which features an up to date list of every product Connects2 has to offer. With detailed vehicle application information and high quality images for each part, the 2015/16 catalogue is the perfect resource for any of our new or existing customers. Free digital copies are available to download from our website and print copies are available upon request. We hope you enjoy our first issue! Ben Armstrong, Editor.
