Compustar 710HD Wins SEMA 2026 Media’s Choice Award

Firstech Compustar is pleased to announce that the Compustar 710HD Vehicle Infotainment System received a SEMA 2026 Media’s Choice Award. Selected by an exclusive panel of automotive media specialists and trade journalists, the Media’s Choice Award recognizes the industry’s most innovative new products.

Out of the thousands of entries in SEMA’s New Products Showcase, the Compustar 710HD was identified as the standout solution designed to benefit consumers, installers, and retailers alike. The media panel specifically highlighted the receiver’s built-in iDatalink Maestro module. For consumers, this technology seamlessly retains critical factory features and controls. For installers, embedding the module directly into the radio saves time and limited dash space by eliminating the need for extra outboard hardware.

SEMA 2026 marked the fourth year that Firstech has exhibited at the world’s largest automotive trade show. In addition to the Compustar 710HD, Firstech revealed more products that are being released in 2026.

• Drone XC2 3-Channel Dash Camera – The successor to SEMA 2023’s Best New Product, the Drone XC2 delivers an extra video channel and improved cloud backup functionality.
• Momento M8 Ultra – A new 4K flagship dash camera with Sony STARVIS 2 for Firstech’s traditional dash camera lineup.
• Drone XT GPS Tracker – A magnetic, battery-powered GPS tracker that can be used to monitor any valuable vehicle or asset.

“Receiving a Media’s Choice Award at SEMA is an incredible honor for our entire team,” shares Justin Lee, marketing director at Firstech. “Most of our team’s passion for the automotive industry started with car audio, so to receive this recognition at SEMA gives us so much motivation to keep on going. We can’t wait to see what our dealers and consumers think about the Compustar 710HD.”

The Compustar 710HD is now available for pre-sale directly from Firstech at myFirstech.com and myFirstech.ca for U.S. and Canadian dealers respectively. The new product will ship in late November 2026.
