Holly Hill, Fla. –  November 4, 2019 – Metra Electronics®, the leading manufacturer of aftermarket 12volt installation solutions, introduces twelve new automotive cameras and a universal mirror monitor from The Install Bay® at the 2019 SEMA Show. As more drivers see the value in upgrading their vehicles to reduce blind spots and prevent collisions, installers have an opportunity to provide quality aftermarket solutions at an affordable cost with this new value series from The Install Bay.

This affordable product line features ten universal automotive cameras and two commercial vehicle cameras with active or selectable parking lines. Active parking lines offer dynamic guidelines, lines that move according to the direction the vehicle is reversing. Those with the selectable parking line option allow the installer to turn the parking lines on or off by cutting a wired loop if the customer does not desire parking lines. Five of the cameras also have a selectable mirrored or non-mirrored image option that allows the installer to choose the customer’s desired image with a different colored loop and allows the cameras to be mounted on either the front or rear of the vehicle. These solutions are in stock now and shipping.

Universal Vehicle Cameras

The Install Bay has two new, universal surface mount cameras, the Surface Mount Camera (CC001) and the Surface Mount Camera with LEDs (CC003). The CC001 comes with the selectable mirrored/non-mirrored image option and a 170-degree viewing angle. The CC003 has four LEDs that light up when powered and a 150-degree viewing angle.

Two new angled cameras, the Angled Push-In Camera (CC002) and the Angled Bolt-In Camera (Angled Bolt-In Camera), both have selectable parking lines and a 170-degree viewing angle. The Angled Push-In Camera also offers the selectable mirrored/non-mirrored image option.

For the driver who wishes to have a camera installed on the license plate, The Install Bay has three new License Plate Cameras. The IR Plate Camera (CC005) has eight infrared lights for night vision, selectable parking lines and a 160-degree viewing angle. The License Plate Active Line Camera (CC004) comes with both the active and selectable parking line options, four LED lights that light up when powered and a 160-degree viewing angle. The License Plate Camera (CC007) has the selectable mirrored/non-mirrored image option, selectable parking lines and a 170-degree viewing angle.

The three final universal cameras showcased are the Bullet Camera (CC008), the Adjustable Side Camera (CC010) and the Thru-Hole Camera (CC009), all of which come with the selectable parking lines option. The Bullet Camera and the Adjustable Side Camera also offer selectable mirrored/non-mirrored image option and a 160-degree viewing angle. The Thru-Hole Camera offers infrared lights for night vision and a 150-degree viewing angle.

Universal Mirror Monitor

For an affordable replacement rearview mirror monitor upgrade, The Install Bay is introducing the Universal 4.3” Mirror Monitor (CCM01). With two camera inputs and signal sensing, this 4.3” LCD display mirror monitor can be mounted on any vehicle with its universal mount brackets, complete with screws and the harness. It features an integrated 4.3” display within the mirror monitor. (Cameras are sold separately)

Commercial Vehicle Cameras

For commercial vehicles demanding a heavy-duty solution, The Install Bay is offering two cameras in black or white housing options. These solutions are ideal for larger commercial vehicles or equipment, including tractor-trailers, and include a 32-feet/10-meter harness. The white camera can also blend in on boats if desired for marine applications. Both cameras come with IR lights for night vision, selectable parking lines, a 160-degree viewing angle, a 32-feet/10-meter harness, power adapter harness, hardware and a user manual.

The Install Bay® offers a convenient “one-stop-shop” for installation professionals to order everything they need from one place at an affordable price. In addition to automotive cameras, several new installation products will also be on display with Metra Electronics at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas from November 5th - 8th at booth 11639 in the North Hall.

Setting the standard for excellence in the audio industry, the Rockford Corporation markets and distributes high-performance audio systems for the mobile, motorsport, and marine audio aftermarket and OEM market.  Headquartered in Tempe, Ariz., Rockford Corporation is a publicly traded company and manufactures its products under the brand Rockford Fosgate(R).

Stillwater, Okla. – KICKER®, a nationally recognized brand in the automotive, truck and powersports mobile audio markets, as well as home and lifestyle audio segments, has decided to strategically focus efforts to boost brand awareness and sales within the recreational marine industry. Having earned a solid reputation and growth in the wake/surf boat, pontoon and runabout markets over the past 22 years, KICKER’s expansion efforts as Kicker Marine Audio are designed to generate greater recreational boating reach among boating consumers, OEMs and the retail aftermarket.

“We have been operating successfully in the marine marketplace within a few key sectors serving OEMs and dealers nationally and internationally,” said Jeremy Bale, KICKER Associate Director, Marketing-Marine Division, “We believe our newly expanded marine-specific KM Series product line is well suited to meet the demands of boating customers who seek both quality and top-notch audio performance as part of the boating experience. Our durable, waterproof and maintenance-free products are ideally situated to propel both consumer, OEM and after-market growth.”

To help facilitate its long-term plan for enhanced marine consumer and B2B penetration, KICKERhas retained two experienced marine marketing powerhouses and journalists to maximize its efforts.

PR Power’s Marilyn DeMartini, an over two-decade veteran of the powerboat circuit, and Kenton Smith Marketing’s Wanda Kenton Smith, with 35+ years of industry experience, have partnered together on a joint marketing initiative to champion and turn up the horsepower for the KICKER brand. The twosome will assist KICKER with its marine PR/communications and brand marketing initiatives, promotions and sponsorships, special events, and select media initiatives. 

“We interviewed agencies and marketers in the marine sector and our sales, marketing and marine OEM team were impressed by the broad spectrum of experience that both Marilyn and Wanda have acquired over many years working in the industry,” said Bale, “We believe their joint professional connections and experience working throughout all sectors of the marine industry will be extremely valuable to our organization.”

Already, the team has developed and negotiated strategic partnerships with the Boating Industry Elevate Summit/Top 100; the Marine Retailers Association of America’s Dealer Week; and as keynote presenting sponsor for the FLIB Marine Marketers of America luncheon and leadership meeting. The team is also actively engaged in Miami International Boat Show media and event planning, among other major initiatives.

“Having worked with boat manufacturers, brokers and media for over 20 years, it is exciting to take on a marine product that reflects the fun lifestyle of our industry,” said DeMartini who was initially introduced to KICKER through a referral from Speedboat Magazine. “After having an opportunity to meet with the KICKER sales and marketing team at their impressive headquarters facility and learning about their vision, Wanda and I both felt we were uniquely well equipped to help them achieve their goals and objectives.”

“It’s awesome to work with a very smart group of executives who represent a rock solid and very successful global organization such as KICKER,” added Kenton Smith. “I’m thrilled to partner with my long-term professional colleague and friend Marilyn DeMartini and to combine our horsepower and skill sets to benefit and grow the KICKER Marine Audiobusiness.”

KICKER has built its 46-year “Livin’ Loud” legacy from a two-man operation, hand-building professional speaker systems in a one-car garage to its current 280,000 square foot World Headquarters and visitors center in Stillwater, OK. Stillwater Designs, manufacturer of KICKER products, employs more than 200 dedicated music lovers, who like founder and president, Steve Irby, take pride not only in the company’s products, but in its impressive showroom—a museum that showcases the history of its line, unique vehicles and the “Wall of Boom” sound experience.

Irby developed the first full frequency-range speaker box, designed specifically for cars and trucks and pioneered the mobile stereo enclosure market. The brand is known for delivering concert-like audio quality across a wide volume range with renowned bass and accurate sound.

Over the years, KICKER evolved into lifestyle personal and home product for digital media devices, including Bluetoothâ speaker systems, the Bullfrogâ wireless outdoor speaker, high-performance Taborä Bluetooth and wireless headphones, and micro-fit noise-isolating in-ear headsets. KICKER may be best known as the top mobile audio manufacturer of automotive, truck and powersports sound systems, audio upgrades for Ford, Dodge and GMC and more recently as the supplier of the popular GMC MultiPro Tailgate Audio System.

The company’s authorized dealer network spans 1,200 across the U.S. and export sales are served through a network of distributors serving over 2,000 dealers in 50 countries.

KICKER Marine Audio components include the highest grade of durable and waterproof source units, subwoofers, coaxials, amplifiers, towers and enclosures. Colorful lighting is incorporated into the speaker systems with a remote that can change colors with lighting modes and 20 colors. Some of its OEM customers include premium brands like Advantage, Bennington, Cruisers Yachts, Four Winns, Glastron, Scarab, Sea Ray and World Cat.

KICKER’s mission is to continue to be on the industry’s cutting edge, pushing the limits of audio design technology, performance and integration in the quest for ultimate sound. 

STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® announces a booth filled with custom vehicles and celebrity appearances at the 2019 SEMA Show, November 5-8. KICKER will be located in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s North Hall, booth #11861, and will play host to three groups of prominent racers from Discovery Channel’s® “STREET OUTLAWS” hit television series.

To make KICKER’s SEMA experience even more exciting, the 46-year audio brand has packed the booth with several celebrity signings. On Tuesday from 11-12 p.m., True Fire™ airbrush artist Mike Lavallee stops by the KICKER booth to meet fans and show off his recent custom build.

Firstech Compustar Partners with 12-Volt Retailers Across North America to Bring Warmth to Those in Need

November 1st, 2019 – (SEATTLE, WASH.): Firstech, makers of Compustar and Arctic Start remote start systems, has publicly announced the launch of its annual “Drive for Coats” campaign, a national effort to collect coat donations for those in need.

Despite the improving economy, millions of Americans are still forced to choose between warm clothing and everyday necessities, such as rent and food. For these families, a warm coat is a luxury that is difficult to afford.

In response, Firstech has partnered with retailers of Compustar and Arctic Start products across North America to hold in-store coat drives for collecting new and gently worn coat donations. This season, the number of retailers involved has nearly doubled! All of the locations involved in this coat drive are offering discounts on remote car starters for each customer who donates a new or gently worn coat.

Firstech’s “Drive for Coats” campaign will run from November 1st, 2019 through January 31st, 2020. To ensure proper delivery of all donations, Firstech has partnered with One Warm Coat (onewarmcoat.org), a national coat drive organization responsible for over 5 million coat donations for the past 25 years. Donations will be distributed to local charitable organizations, vetted by One Warm Coat, which will make sure that each coat reaches a child or adult in need. 

“As the weather cools down, our thoughts turn to our friends and neighbors who lack adequate winter clothing,” said Director of Marketing Justin Lee. “Hundreds of Firstech’s retail partners across North America have stepped up to join us in fighting the cold on behalf of those in need.” 

Retailers participating in Firstech’s Drive for Coats campaign will receive in-store and digital marketing materials from Firstech to help promote this cause in local communities. For more information on Firstech’s “Drive for Coats” campaign, please visit www.Compustar.com. On the Compustar website, use the dealer locator to find a “Drive for Coats” participating retailer near you.

About Firstech Firstech is an award-winning connected car company from Seattle, Washington. The company was founded in 1995, primarily focusing on aftermarket remote car starters and security systems. Firstech has been voted the “Top Vendor in Security, Safety, and Convenience” products by the Mobile Electronics Retailers Association of America in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

One Warm Coat is a national non-profit organization that works to provide a free, warm coat to any person in need and raises awareness of the vital need for warm coats. One Warm Coat supports individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country by providing the tools and resources needed to hold a successful coat drive.  Coats are distributed in the communities where they are collected, to any person in need, without charge, discrimination or obligation.

Las Vegas, Nev. – (November 5, 2019) SCOSCHE® – (pronounced skōsh/skohsh) Industries, innovators of award-winning consumer technology, powersports, car audio products and accessories will be introducing several exciting new products at the upcoming SEMA and AAPEX Shows in Las Vegas, Nev. 

MagicMount™ Fresche™ vent mounts, ​featuring our patent pending FreeFlow™ design, hold your phone and freshen the air in your vehicle. They come in a range of options including: Magnetic, Universal, and Qi Wireless Charging, which all use replaceable Fresche scent cartridges available in a variety of scents. A vehicle’s dashboard is a finite space so having a phone mount that serves two purposes, or three for the Wireless Charging version, is invaluable.

We appreciate all the recognition our Qi​®​-certified wireless charging mounts have received for their speed, reliability and quality. This year we’re taking it up a​ ​notch with the launch of two new advanced models – the​ MagicMount Charge3™ ​and the​ MagicGrip™,​ both of which come in a choice of mounting options for home, office and vehicle.

The MagicMount ​Charge3 vent mount​ delivers Apple​®​, Samsung​® and Google​®​ wireless fast charging at the optimum rate for each device, and provides cooler charging thanks to its thermal management gap. Dual magnets on the charging head hold the phone securely as it charges and adjusts 360° for multiple viewing options. Our FreeFlow design is a winning combination of an open anchoring base and an articulating swing-arm that together insure that you can mount your phone on your vehicle’s vent without ever blocking airflow. 

The ​MagicGrip wireless charging mount​ automatically closes its arms when it senses that a Qi-enabled phone is perfectly aligned over its charging coil,.This auto-grip closure ensures perfect placement of the phone for optimum charging, as well as convenience. The MagicGrip has a thermal management channel to keep your device cooler during charging. And like the Charge3, the Magic-Grip safely charges all Qi-enabled phones at their fastest rate.

Both the Charge3 and the MagicGrip have advanced features that will be demonstrated in the Scosche booths at SEMA and AAPEX.  Follow us on: Instagram (@scoscheinc) and @scosche on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn for the latest news on all of the company’s award-winning consumer tech and car audio products and accessories.

Swivel Cage Pods, Driver Side Rear 10-inch Subwoofer Enclosure, & Overhead Soundbar Speaker Adapter Featured at Booth #S38011

OXNARD, Calif., Oct. 31, 2019 – SSV Works (www.ssvworks.com), the market leader in off-road audio systems and accessories, is proud to announce it will debut three new Jeep-specific audio system accessories during SEMA Show 2019, held in Las Vegas, Nev. from Nov. 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth S38011.

“Jeep enthusiasts have been asking for vehicle-specific weatherproof audio solutions,” explained Trevor Kaplan, SSV Works CEO. “That’s why we are proud to announce new specific audio solutions for the Jeep Wrangler JL and JT during the 2019 SEMA Show.”

The JJL-CS65 (MSRP: $449.95) features a pair of swivel mount cage pods w/ 6.5-inch speakers for the Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4-door. These injection-molded speaker pods are made from a high impact plastic to help withstand extreme hot and cold weather conditions. Swivel mounts are manufactured from billet aluminum and supplied with stainless steel hardware.

“SSV Works’ JJL-CS65 swivel cage pods allow you to have your tunes playing in the car when you’re driving, or simply swivel them backwards for tailgating and hanging out when camping,” said Kaplan. “The cage pods are compact so that they don't obstruct visibility but are optimized for sound quality. They feature billet aluminum mounts for off-road rigidity with an injection molded cage pod and design lines that match the vehicle they're installed in. The comfortable grip friction knob allows the user to easily swivel to the desired angle and then retighten to secure in place.”

The JP1-DS10U (MSRP: $349.99) is a driver side rear cargo area mounted 10-inch subwoofer enclosure designed for the Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4door. The JP1-DS10U does not require any drilling and it comes with a stylized ABS speaker grille designed to nicely match the vehicle aesthetics.

“The JP1-DS10U’s enclosure is made of 100 percent fiberglass for the best sound quality and bass response,” Kaplan added. “Also, a reinforced plate mounts along the bottom half of the enclosure, protecting it from any loose objects and kit that could be sliding around in the back of the vehicle.”

The JJT-SAO65 (MSRP: $99.99) overhead soundbar 6.5-inch speaker adapter for Jeep Wrangler JL, JL Unlimited, and JT Gladiator models has been designed to allow for the upgrade from factory speakers to your full-size 6.5-inch speakers. These speaker converters are injection molded out of ASA plastic for maximum durability and the ability to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures. Metal support plates are made of 2mm powder coated mild steel and are used to reinforce the factory soundbar. The metal support plates also add additional mounting points that help make installing the speaker converts a breeze.

“The JJT-SAO65 allows you to expand your audio system by upgrading from the small factory speaker configuration to 6.5-inch speakers, solving an industry issue with the limited offerings of audio expandability in the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator,” Kaplan concluded. “The fit and finish of the speaker adapters were designed to match the factory look while providing a much needed upgrade.”

Coral Springs, Fla. -- October 29, 2019 -- NAV-TV Corp., a leading innovator and manufacturer of OEM integration and safety products for the automotive aftermarket, announces the ZEN-AVB-GM preamplifier. The ZEN-AVB-GM is the newest addition to the competition- proven ZEN Audio family of digital preamplifiers and is the first aftermarket automotive product utilizing AVB.

The ZEN-AVB-GM is compatible with 2017 to 2020 Cadillac, Chevrolet and GM vehicles equipped with AVB infotainment radios IOT (8” with navigation) or IOS (8” without navigation) and Bose®. The preamplifier produces a completely flat audio output without any factory time delay or equalization, eliminating the need for summing devices, an audio correction DSP or the removal of the factory audio compensation microphones. Volume, Fade [1] and Balance are supported through the factory radio and steering wheel controls.

Utilizing a 128 bit per channel floating point DSP and 192 kHz 32 bit TI (Burr-Brown) DAC, the ZEN-AVB-GM produces a 6 channel analog output (Front L/R, Rear L/R, Sub and Center) with a peak voltage of 6.3V and a S/N Ratio of 112dB. All warning chimes and audible turn signal indications are attenuated to factory levels and, along with Onstar®, Navigation prompts and Bluetooth, are passed to the front output channels [2], eliminating the need for an external speaker. The unit provides a 500mA output for controlling aftermarket devices and, additionally, retains the factory three band equalizer (high, mid and bass).

For use with third party digital sound processors [3], the ZEN-AVB-GM includes a variable Toslink (optical) digital output which may be used simultaneously with the analog outputs, or by itself. The variable digital output allows for the system volume to be controlled via the factory radio and steering wheel controls without the need to access any third party controller.

For ease of use, the ZEN-AVB-GM is configurable through dip switch settings. User selectable features of the ZEN-AVB-GM are: 

·        Factory Bass control becomes a Subwoofer Level Controller or Controls Bass for the entire system (Analog output only) – eliminates the need for a sub control knob!
·        Loudness control for extended bass response at low levels or loudness off (Analog output only)
·        Selectable output level: 0dB or -6dB. Digital Output at 24 bit 48 kHz.

In order to make the Zen Audio compatibility process simple for General Motors vehicles, NAV-TV has produced a short video that will help qualify the vehicle infotainment system to ensure compatibility using a QR code reader. Vehicles with infotainment options IOT or IOS and Bose utilize the ZEN-AVB-GM and those with infotainment options IO4, IO5 or IO6 and Bose utilize the M650-GM. The video may be viewed at https://youtu.be/YMHfpRytPho.

Pre-orders of the ZEN-AVB-GM (sku# NTV-KIT955) are being accepted starting October 29th, 2019 and will begin shipping on November 4th, 2019 with a retail price of $599.00 USD.

For more information on the ZEN-AVB-GM, or our existing line of over 950 other integration and safety products, please contact your NAV-TV sales representative at  (866) 477-3336  (USA and Canada toll free) or (561) 955-9770 (International), or email our sales staff at This email address is being protected from spambots.

[1] Fade is only supported through the analog outputs. When using the digital outputs, fade will need to be controlled via the third party product.
[2] When utilizing the analog outputs all warning chimes will be designated only to the front output. When utilizing digital outputs all chimes, etc will appear in both the front and rear channels.
[3] Please refer to the operation and installation manual of your 3rd party DSP or device, or contact the manufacturer directly. Although NAV-TV has tested numerous 3rd Party DSP devices for compatibility with the ZEN-AVB-GM, we cannot provide technical support on 3rd party products.
