METAIRIE, La., Oct. 31, 2023 – ORACLE Lighting, an innovator in automotive LED solutions, announces its new 2021-24 Ford Bronco Off Road LASER + LED Fog Light Kit for steel-bumper Broncos. Featuring both a DOT/SAE-compliant fog light and an off-road laser module, the new combo lights provide unparalleled lighting power for current-generation Broncos in a rugged and easy-to-install package. The kits will be available beginning in December of this year.

The combination of LED and laser technology in a single unit delivers unmatched long-distance lighting power while being able to control each module separately for on and off-road driving. The LED-only on-road mode projects light to 980 feet, while the hyper-focused off-road laser projection distance is an astounding 3,250 feet. The fog lights produce 7,000 total raw lumens while drawing just 1.8 amps in LED and 3.6 amps in laser mode. Each beam level can be individually adjusted to account for vehicle lifts and desired beam angle.

“We’ve combined the two best lighting technologies into a single unit to deliver a truly unparalleled lighting solution,” said Justin Hartenstein, ORACLE Lighting's director of development. “Laser really is the next evolution in lighting, and these combination lights are perfect for those looking for maximum visibility, especially when driving at higher speeds off road where visibility over longer distances is critical.”

As rugged as they are functional, the new ORACLE fog lights feature polycarbonate lenses with unique skeletonized carbon-steel brackets and die-cast aluminum housings. The tactical blacked-out design is further enhanced by the laser-etched bezels around each projector lens. The lights are IP67 rated, making them both waterproof and protected from dust over an extended period of time. The kit mounts easily using factory hardware.

The fog light module has separate cables that can be connected to the factory fog light switch or an auxiliary switch. If the Bronco is not equipped with optional auxiliary switches, ORACLE offers a harness (part number 2088-504) for easy wiring installation. The laser lights are intended for off-road use only and should be connected to an auxiliary switch.

The ORACLE Lighting Ford Bronco Off Road LASER + LED Fog Light Kit fits 2021-24 models with a factory steel bumper. The kit includes two light modules and two dual Deutsch DT 2M cable connectors. MSRP is $1,449.95 and a two-year replacement warranty is included.

Launching at the show are new vehicle-specific DSP packages, MOST25 audio system interfaces, Total Control series interfaces, a backup camera retention harness, interfaces designed for Pioneer® radios, OnStar® retention interfaces, and more. These new automotive accessories will be displayed from October 31 to November 3 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at Metra's main SEMA Show booth, #10539.

These DSP packages include amplifier bypass harnesses and feature combined digital signal processor and data interface technologies that allow installers to upgrade their music experience and customize their sound system. The DSP is designed to integrate with factory audio systems and retain factory chimes and voice prompts. Axxess's DSPL series provides six channels of output and a 15-band graphic EQ per channel, while the DSPX series features 10 channels of output and a selectable 31-band graphic EQ or 5-band parametric EQ per channel. Both products offer selectable crossover slopes, feature independent equalization for each output, and the ability to read, write, and store configurations for future recall.

Adjustable Spare Tire Camera Kit

Show attendees will have the opportunity to see the new TE-ASTCAM, an adjustable spare tire camera kit designed to provide drivers with a clear view of their surroundings while parking or reversing. The kit includes a multi-adjustable bracket, high-quality camera, and wiring to ensure a hassle-free installation. The versatile bracket of the TE-ASTCAM is specifically designed to mount securely to the factory studs of the spare wheel with over 200 vehicle applications. It offers an impressive range of adjustability, allowing drivers to position the camera exactly where they need it. The bracket's camera stem can be adjusted both side-to-side and up-and-down, providing drivers with optimal flexibility and customization options. Additionally, the head of the bracket is bendable to achieve the perfect angle adjustment for each vehicle.

Equipped with high-quality metal housing, the included camera delivers durability and longevity. Its 170-degree field of diagonal view ensures a wide coverage area, minimizing blind spots and providing a comprehensive perspective of the vehicle's surroundings. The camera also features parking guidelines, enabling drivers to accurately gauge distances and maneuver their vehicle with ease. With an IP67 rating, this camera is designed to withstand inclement weather, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments.

Universal Multi-Mount Camera System

The TE-5MSC universal multi-mount camera system allows installers to choose the most suitable camera installation method, location, and viewing angle for their vehicle.

This window-mount DVR plugs into a standard 12V outlet that is universal to most vehicles and can be installed forward or rear-facing. It supports up to a 128GB micro memory card (not included) to provide ample storage capability.

SKAA Began Integrating USB-C Connectors to it Products in Early 2018; Apple Now Migrating to USB-C Due to Worldwide Demand and Compliance

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, Oct. 25, 2023 – Once again, Eleven Engineering, Inc. (www.elevenengineering.com), a market leader in semiconductor products for wireless audio for home theater, multi-room, portable, professional, 12 Volt (car, truck, motorcycle, power sports, marine) and gaming applications, is making waves once again with the recent announcement that Apple is now finally converting to the USB-C connector standard, thus making new Apple products SKAA-compatible, as well.

“Our SKAA-Enabled Cassandra transmitter with USB-C connector was launched nearly six years ago, and Apple is finally catching up,” explained Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. “We read the tea leaves back in 2017 as the industry was beginning to migrate from micro USB to USB-C, and our Cassandra transmitter was our first with a USB-C connector that embraced that new trend. Ideal for charging and transmitting data more effectively and quicker than micro USB, Cassandra has set the benchmark for the new desired and practical connector ever since. Now, SKAA is the ideal choice for all phones, tablets, and laptops which utilize a USB-C port, including Apple products.”

USB-C has become recently popular over the past few years for a number of reasons, both functional and practical:

  • First, it is reversible, meaning no more frustrating moments since you don’t have to turn the connector and/or cable around in order to plug it into the device…no more USB superposition.
  • Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, USB-C also brings higher speed and power advantages to your fingertips.

Additional Cassandra feature and specifications include:

  • Sends audio to up to four receivers
  • Works with all apps
  • Use up to five transmitters in the same area
  • No pairing
  • 15 meters (50 feet) indoor range
  • Low latency
  • Works with SKAA cmd (optional app)
  • Ships with SKAA OS 2.4, works with all receivers running SKAA OS 2.1 or newer (if you're not sure what version you have, go to TLC, send us a note and just ask)
  • Free Shipping

“SKAA’s USB-C transmitter ensures seamless connectivity, bringing a new level of audio excellence to your iPhone experience,” Whitehead continued. “Say hello to high-fidelity, low-latency sound!”

SKAA is the wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering, Inc. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack. SKAA is also available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products, which are featured at SKAA.com. SKAA navigates hostile environments saturated in wireless traffic with best-in-class reliability. SKAA delivers uninterrupted audio with the highest sound quality to all speakers without the latency that is inherent in other wireless solutions.

With SKAA, the receivers (speakers / headphones) are in charge of selecting which transmitter to listen to. There’s no pairing.

“SKAA’s audio quality is always 480 kbps while Bluetooth’s is always lower and actually varies depending on environment and circumstances,” Whitehead said. “You can use up to five SKAA transmitters in your home at the same time. That’s up to 20 speakers or headphones.”

SKAA is ridiculously easy to use —all compatible products are ready to play right out of the box. “It’s also highly flexible, being compatible with a fantastic breadth of audio sources,” concluded Whitehead. “Plus, SKAA receivers can effortlessly switch from source to source. And don’t forget rock-solid reliability, great range, and CD-quality sound. SKAA.com is the source for all things SKAA.”

SKAA is available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack.

These products will be showcased from October 31 through November 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and include:

Chasing Accent Lighting Kits

Heise LED is introducing three new accent lighting kits to add brilliant LEDs to vehicles. They are displaying a kit to illuminate truck beds, a kit to add backlighting to vehicle front grilles, and a kit that dramatically illuminates both the front and rear interior footwells. The new chasing LED Truck Bed Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-BED)​​, Grille Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-GRILLE), and Interior Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-INT) each come with a Heise Connect chasing controller and include all the chasing LED tubes, cables, and hardware needed for easy installation.

Heise LED will also display new single expandable wheel rings available in RGB, RGBW, and chasing options that make it easy to replace a damaged wheel ring or enhance a lighting system by illuminating a vehicle's mounted spare tire. There are two new sets for each LED lighting option with wheel rings that expand from either 11-inch to 14-inch or 15-inch to 18-inch in size. A split ring design makes it easy to assemble and adjust the aluminum wheel rings to fit the wheel's diameter. Each kit includes two aluminum expandable wheel ring segments, a cuttable LED strip, a 10-foot extension cable, a Y adapter, thread lock, mounting brackets, and hardware.

Rock Light Expansion Packs

New rock light expansion packs that quickly and easily expand a vehicle's Heise LED lighting system or replace damaged rock lights will be displayed. These kits are available in RGB, RGBW, or chasing options and can be paired with virtually any Heise LED product. They include four daisy-chainable rock lights, four curved rubber-covered mounting bases, four 10-foot extension cables, and a drill template. These lights can be paired with their respective RGB, RGBW, or chasing Heise Connect controller, sold separately.

Chasing LED Tubes

When connected to Heise Connect RGB, RGBW, or chasing controllers, they can be controlled via the Heise Connect app, available for download on smartphones and tablets. The app features a selectable color wheel that lets users choose from 16 million RGB color options, and a true white light color option is available with RGBW products. Users can also select from 24 pre-programmed patterns for RGB and RGBW and 170+ pre-programmed moving patterns for Chasing. A DIY pattern option can be chosen for chasing products, allowing for selecting up to 16 colors and 3 motion effects. The app also features independent left and right turn signal triggers, a brake trigger, and a music sync function.

Holly Hill, Fla. – October 19, 2023 – Metra Electronics® is introducing new aftermarket accessories and RGB lights designed to fit select Jeep® Gladiator and Wrangler vehicles at this year's SEMA Show. These products will be showcased from October 31 to November 3 at Metra's off-roading and powersports SEMA booth, #60031, in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Metra is introducing new dashboard speaker grilles, lower dash speaker grille cut-ins, replacement fender clips and rivets, an A-pillar 8 gang switch panel system, 7” LED headlights and 4" LED fog lights with RGB halo, and a turn signal trigger harness. These new accessories are designed for popular Jeep® models and provide customization options that are durable enough to withstand off-roading wear and tear.

Dashboard Speaker Grilles and Lower Dash Speaker Grille Cut-ins

Metra will display two new styles of custom-designed speaker grilles at SEMA, designed to enhance the interior appearance of select Jeeps when installing aftermarket speakers. The JP-1017 is a set of dashboard speaker grilles designed to fit the 2018-Up* Wrangler JL and the 2020-Up* Gladiator JT. The JP-1018 are lower dash speaker grille cut-ins designed to fit the 2018-2023 Wrangler JL and the 2020-2023 Gladiator JT. The JP-1017 allows speakers to be upgraded to a larger tweeter or mid-bass speaker for a more vivid sound while adding a bold style. These speaker grilles feature a black metal mesh grille with silver accents for a rugged and tough off-road look and are designed to complement the new JP-1018 lower dash speaker grille cut-ins perfectly. The JP-1018 allows installers to widen the factory 4-inch opening to accommodate an upgrade to 6.5-inch speakers. They are designed to complement the JP-1017 dashboard speaker covers and Metra's popular JP-1014 dash speaker pods.

Replacement Fender Clips and Rivets

Metra will introduce products at SEMA that help installers reinstall fenders on the 2018-Up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and 2020-Up* Jeep® Gladiator when swapping them out and installing new fender lights more efficiently. The JP-FCLIP replacement fender clips and the JP-FPIN replacement fender rivets are designed to replace OE parts that often break during the removal of the fender. These products are sold in convenient 30-piece packs and will save installers time while providing a secure, factory-quality fit. These products eliminate the hassle of repairing or reusing broken clips and offer a convenient solution to single-use OE rivets that commonly break during fender removal.

A-Pillar 8 Gang Switch Panel System

The JP-APS-JK is an 8 gang switch panel system that features vehicle-specific brackets, making it a custom solution for the 2007-2018 Jeep® Wrangler JK. The included replacement A-pillar cover mounts the water-resistant switch panel vertically, and two types of adapters are provided to fit the panel to Jeep Wrangler JK interiors. This versatile panel can handle all types of 12V DC accessories and allows users to control up to 8 different auxiliary LED lights or electrical devices. An included sheet of 50 decals is designed to fit the vertical orientation of the panel and customize it accordingly, with blue LED backlighting to illuminate the switches. The compact under-hood control box is rated IP68 and easily affixes to OE mounting locations along with the resettable 60-amp circuit breaker using two included vehicle-specific brackets. There are two 30-amp, two 20-amp, two 10-amp, and two 5-amp circuits that can be programmed to latching (on/off) or momentary. T-Spec's V10 fully tinned OFC marine-grade power and ground cables are included to power the controller for maximum reliability.

7” LED Headlights and 4" LED Fog Lights with RGB Halo

Metra will display two new light sets at SEMA designed to fit the 1997-2018 Jeep® Wrangler TJ and JK, which can also fit the 2018-2024 Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT using Metra's JP-JLB7 adapters. The JP-702RGB is a pair of 7-inch LED headlights with RGB halo, and the JP-702RGBFL are 4" LED Fog Lights with RGB halo. Both of these sets come with a Heise Connect RGB controller that allows users to easily control their RGB lighting from the palm of their hand when paired with the Heise Connect free downloadable app for smartphones or tablets. The app lets users choose from 16 million RGB color options with a selectable color wheel and provides seamless control with endless customization options. The headlights each have an output of 3600 lumens for the high beam and 1800 lumens for the low beam. Durable polycarbonate lens covers and die-cast aluminum alloy housing make these light sets ideal for adventurous Jeep® owners, and they work cohesively with all Heise RGB lighting as part of the Heise Connect Universe (HCU).

Turn Signal Trigger Harness

Metra will also display its new turn signal trigger harness, the JP-TSH2, for the 2007-2018 Jeep® Wrangler JK. This harness makes the installation of aftermarket fender lights, alarms, lights, cameras, blind spot sensors, or other equipment that requires left and right light triggers hassle-free. It installs between the factory connector and the wires for aftermarket lighting and eliminates the need to cut or splice a stock harness. Both left and right-side harnesses are included and provide triggers for turn signals and the parking light.

Holly Hill, FL – October 17, 2023 – Install Bay® by Metra Electronics® is expanding its comprehensive collection of professional 12volt installation products with new single-zone and three-zone controllers with Bluetooth® wireless technology, micro line output converters, replacement socket kits in various sizes, connectors, fuse holders, and much more. These products are designed using the best available materials to ensure ease of use and years of reliability. They will be displayed from October 31 through November 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Metra's main SEMA Show booth will be #10539 in the North Hall, and its off-roading and powersports products will be on display at booth #60031 in the West Hall.

Single Zone Controller with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and Remote

The IBBTR18 is an easy-to-install controller with Bluetooth® wireless technology and a wireless remote that puts audio controls at a user's fingertips. It is equipped with built-in connectivity and auxiliary input, and its compact size makes it easy to conceal. A high-quality internal digital signal processor produces lossless audio output to the sound system. The controller is small enough to mount to a steering wheel easily and is rated IPX7, making it ideal for marine and powersports applications.

3-Zone Controller with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

The IBBTR19 controller shares the same features as the IBBTR18, but it allows users to control the volume independently for three zones or simultaneously on the primary setting. An LED backlight on the remote indicates which zone is active. The controller is equipped with built-in connectivity with Bluetooth® technology and auxiliary input. This 3-zone controller supports APTX-HD, APTX, APTX-X Low Latency, SBC, and ACC audio formats.

Micro Line Output Converters

Install Bay will introduce two ultra-compact LOCs at Metra's SEMA booth; a 2-channel, the IBMLOC2, and a 4-channel, the IBMLOC4. These new micro LOCs allow car audio installers to add an amplifier to nearly any radio, so their customers can experience true sound accuracy at any volume level with all the highs and lows of the original audio. Unlike traditional LOCs, these devices are designed without inductors to deliver a flat 20Hz-20kHz frequency response at all volume levels. Using factory speaker wires, these innovative micro LOCs automatically convert the speaker signal into both an RCA signal and a 100-milli-amp 12-volt remote wire using DC offset. With the ability to turn on multiple amplifiers, their 12-volt remote wires deliver plenty of power without requiring switched 12-volt power sources. These LOCs accept up to 80 watts (20 volts) of input signal and deliver up to 10-volt output signal. The OEM smart radios in today's vehicles have a built-in protection circuit that will shut off or distort audio on one or more channels if the load on the OEM radio exceeds a specific impedance range. These LOCs feature built-in 60-ohm load resistors for those OE radios.

Replacement Sockets

An assortment of convenient new 6-point socket replacement packs will be of interest to SEMA attendees who are familiar with the frustration of misplacing their sockets. These sockets will come in a wide range of sizes, including 7mm, 8mm, and 10mm in 3/8 drive or 1/4 drive. Each size has short or deep options and will be available in 5-packs. Install Bay will also offer 5-packs of magnetic 1/4 sockets in the same size and replacement #2 Phillips bits.

With the convenience of these replacement sockets and Phillips bits, installers will avoid the hassle of incomplete tool sets or searching for missing components while completing a project.

Metra's SEMA booth will also include various cables from The Install Bay, a 20-piece radio removal tool set, and installation accessories such as fuse holders, connectors, spooled wire, and more. Additional product information is available at theInstallBay.com.

Holly Hill, FL – October 18, 2023 – Metra PowerSports® by Metra Electronics® is displaying new products at the SEMA Show, including a 6-zone switch panel designed for UTVs and other outdoor vehicles, a 4 AWG high current quick disconnect power block, a 4-piece chasing LED golf cart canopy kit, and Heise Connect RGB controller crossover cables. Metra's off-roading and powersports SEMA booth, #60031, will be in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from October 31 to November 3.

6-Zone Switch Panel

Metra PowerSports is reintroducing the latest 6-zone switch control box for universal powersports applications such as UTV/ATV and golf carts. The MPS-SW6 offers two control options: switch knockout or app-controlled. This IP67 water-resistant rating switch box features the latest MOSFET™ chips designed for harsh environments and offers 700-watt power handling capability. It features a 6-button Carling-style switch and a Polaris® switch adapter. It is controlled via the MPS Switch app on compatible smartphones or tablets. The app features two strobe pattern options, a music sync setting, adjustable brightness on each channel, and more.

4 AWG High Current Quick Disconnect Power Block

The MPS-3PB is a durable, quick disconnect that allows for convenient, safe installation and servicing of amps, active subwoofers, or removable winches in powersport and marine applications. This product is designed for use in the harshest environments, unlike standard audio equipment that is not suited for off-road applications. This critical part of an installation can resist the elements to keep the system working great throughout rugged outdoor adventures.

4-Piece Chasing LED Golf Cart Canopy Kit

The MPS-CHASE-CPY can transform any golf cart into a vibrant spectacle of colorful light. Designed exclusively to fit golf cart canopies, this innovative kit includes two 36" chasing LED strips, two 8" chasing LED strips, mounting hardware, and, from Heise LED Lighting, the Heise Connect controller. The strips are durable and rated IP65, ensuring long-lasting performance and a brilliant glow for countless future rides. MPS has designed this kit to work cohesively with all Heise chasing LED lighting as part of the Heise Connect Universe (HCU). Lighting effects are controlled using the included RF remote or the Heise Connect app, available for download on smartphones and tablets. Users can choose from static color settings, 170+ color-changing patterns, DIY lighting patterns, music sync, and more.

Heise Connect RGB Controller Crossover Cables

The MPS-RGB-M2H includes four Heise Connect controller crossover cables that simplify RGB lighting installations. These cables remove the need to use multiple controllers and apps by connecting Metra PowerSports lighting products to a Heise Connect RGB controller. Users can then control their entire lighting system via the free downloadable Heise Connect mobile app.

More information about these products will be available at MetraPowerSports.com soon after the show.
