CES 2019 New Product Rollout

Holly Hill, Fla. –  January 3, 2019 – Axxess Integrate® by Metra Electronics® announces the AX-DSP-LITE, as a “Lite” version to provide just the essentials for sound systems that do not need to utilize all of the features in the existing AX-DSP solution. The AX-DSP-LITE still provides Axxess’s cutting-edge technology to retain vehicle functions. Installers can use the AX-DSP-LITE with OEM or aftermarket radios to take six channels of fixed level/digitally controlled analog audio and convert it to six channels of analog signal for use with an aftermarket amplifier or DSP.

While this may be a “Lite” version, it still provides retention of many important vehicle functions. The AX-DSP-LITE features chime control1, retains OEM voice prompts2 and sonar sensors3, and has clipping detection and limiting circuits. There are six inputs and six outputs, including front, rear and subwoofer, and the front and rear outputs can be delayed independently up to 10ms. Unlike the AX-DSP, settings are adjusted through a Windows PC. Optional add-on accessories will include a TOSLINK® output and Bluetooth® streaming input. The existing AX-DSP plug-n-play harnessing will work with AX-DSP-LITE.

AX-DSP-LITE Specifications:

●        6 inputs and 6 outputs, including front, rear and subwoofer

●        Front and rear outputs can be delayed independently up to 10ms

●        Easy behind the radio installation

●        Can be used with OEM and aftermarket radios

●        Chime control for vehicles with amp-generated chimes (When retaining OEM radio)

●        Retains OEM voice prompts (SYNC® and OnStar®)

●        Retains sonar sensors in vehicles where the tone is provided by the amplifier (When retaining OEM radio)

●        Clipping detection and limiting circuits

●        Digital amp turn-on capability

●        Settings adjusted via Window PC

The AX-DSP-LITE will be on display at CES in the Metra Electronics booth #5211 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. New products will be online at AxxessInterfaces.com starting January 8 with additional product press releases at AxxessInterfaces.com/news.

CES 2019 New Product Rollout

Holly Hill, Fla. –  January 3, 2019 – Axxess Integrate® by Metra Electronics® is introducing its next generation of DSP products at CES 2019, improving upon the original AX-DSP product line. The new AX-DSP-X Series has 10 individually assigned output channels and an option to password protect settings via the Axxess DSP app for phones and tablets. This digital signal processor with chime control and digital amplifier turn-on capability has all of the other features of the original patented AX-DSP (which has a 6 channel output without password protection settings). It is also available in a water resistant model, the AX-DSPX-WR, designed for marine and powersports applications.

Complete Tuning Control: Installers will have full control to fine-tune each of the 10 channel outputs individually, controlled via Bluetooth® in the free app. The app makes tuning easy with a 31 band graphic EQ and up to 10ms time delay for each channel, with independent high, low and bandpass filters. Once tuning has been completed, installers can password protect their settings to prevent anyone else from adjusting and the information is stored for future recall.

Retain Features with a Built-in Interface: Utilizing Axxess’s data interface technology, the AX-DSP-X goes beyond what a traditional DSP can do and retains many of the features commonly lost when upgrading a sound system. Voice prompts, parking sensor chimes and other factory chimes are retained with adjustable volume control that many traditional DSPs cannot offer. This is a cost-effective solution for customers who want to retain their factory radio and improve their vehicle sound quality, while still retaining systems like SYNC® or OnStar®.

One Solution, Many Applications: The AX-DSP-X solution already works with a wide range of vehicle applications and systems, including OE or aftermarket, and digitally controlled amplifiers or analog audio, in addition to non-amplified vehicles that do not have chimes. The AX-DSP-X works with all of the existing AX-DSP harnessing and accessories and still offers the same easy installation behind the radio.

Vehicle-Specific Plug-n-Play Packages for GM, Mercedes, Hyundai/Kia and Harley-Davidson

For faster installation, vehicle-specific harnessing and other accessories will be included in new AX-DSPX Series packages, retaining the ability to work with MOST50, MOST25 and SPDIF amplified systems.

Holly Hill, Fla. –  January 7, 2019 – Axxess Integrate® by Metra Electronics® has announced that 24 new products will debut at CES along with a newly redeveloped Updater App, used to update existing interface products with the latest vehicle data.  New products include the Total Control Interface Series™  for steering wheel control and data interfaces, a next-generation DSP along with a “Lite” version DSP, a STOP/START override interface and more. Water-resistant options will also be available for Axxess’ best selling ASWC-1 and its AX-DSP-X, offering more solutions for marine and powersports audio.

New amplifier bypass harnesses, outlined below, will also be introduced for Honda and Toyota.

Improved Axxess Updater App

The Axxess Updater App has a redesigned interface for a modern look and feel, with improved support for devices and more. For installers, intuitive flow with clear instructions improves the help and support feature of the app. An improved design helps users easily find vehicle-specific products and also access instructions and user manuals for Axxess products. The Updater App allows installers to update any current Axxess interface from an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet to download the latest vehicle application data. As new models or technology are released throughout the year, updates are recommended prior to installation to ensure that the latest software is being used. The improved app is now available in the Google Play and Apple store.

Amplifier Bypass Harnesses & More

Additional new products include an amplifier bypass harness for select Honda 2016-up* (AX-AB-HN1) and select Toyota 2004-up* (AX-AB-TY4) vehicles. For the existing AX-DSP line, two new plug-n-play harnesses will be available for 2012-up* (AX-DSP-TY3) and 2018-up* (AX-DSP-TY4) Toyota vehicles. (The AX-DSP-X and AX-DSP-LITE are compatible with all existing AX-DSP harnessing).

Holly Hill, Fla. – January 06, 2020 – Axxess Integrate® by Metra Electronics® is expanding its line of STOP/START engine override interfaces to now cover GM vehicles. The AXSSO-GM is an interface designed to automatically disengage the STOP/START engine feature on select 2016-up* GM vehicles. This new and exclusive technology was previously introduced at CES 2019 for select Ford and Chrysler models. The patent-pending interface can be used with factory or aftermarket radios. The AXSSO-GM has weather-resistant housing and harnessing, with a simple two-wire installation under the hood.

As some newer vehicles come equipped with a way to disengage the engine’s STOP/START feature, there are still several GM models that do not allow the driver to turn this off. This may become bothersome at long traffic lights during hot or inclement weather, as it could affect the vehicle’s ability to cool or heat the interior. The vibration of the engine turning on and off may also be annoying to some drivers during city driving. Now, installers will have the ability to offer GM owners the option to override their engine STOP/START feature with the new AXSSO-GM interface. This new interface is coming soon and will be on display with Metra Electronics at CES from January 7-10, 2020 at booth 5211 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
