Firestone Air Command™ Kit for Android™ and Accessories Give Drivers the Power of Air with the Touch of a Button

INDIANAPOLIS, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Firestone Industrial Products announced today the introduction of the Air Command™ Kit for Android™ designed to provide an instant air source to a vehicle's suspension system, delivering convenient adjustability of air helper springs. The kit is intended to give users the ability to adjust their air helper springs wirelessly depending on different loads and road conditions.

Firestone Air Command Kit for Android owners can download the Firestone Ride-Rite™ Air Command app for Android using the Google Play™ Store app (at no charge). The app transforms an Android smartphone into a kind of remote control. The app works with an Air-Rite™ Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the light-duty air compressor.

Another "touch of a button" accessory is the Compact Remote Air Command System, which consists of a key fob controller used to turn on the light-duty compressor, inflate the air helper springs as well as open the exhaust valve to release air pressure. This kit is easy to install, convenient and puts the power of air at your fingertips.

Both the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Command app for Android and the Compact Remote Air Command System allow users to control the amount of air in the air helper springs from up to 25 feet away, letting drivers visually inspect a vehicle's ride height while it is loaded. The ECU is protected from environmental factors like rain and dust and can be mounted outside the vehicle without having to install wires into the cab. Firestone recommends their no-drill Air Accessory Mounting Kit (Part No. 2529), sold separately, to conveniently mount the ECU and air compressor.

"The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Command app for Android and the Compact Remote Air Command System are functional options for drivers who want an easy and quick way to adjust the air pressure of air helper springs," said Todd Green, regional sales manager, Firestone Industrial Products, Ride-Rite™ division. "Firestone strives to provide products that not only make driving safer, but also more convenient."

Trained technicians are available toll-free (800.888.0650) to answer any product application, installation or warranty questions Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.
