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, Fla. – November 1, 2018 – The Install Bay® by Metra Electronics® is introducing a new line of low-profile LED replacement headlight bulbs. With a 3.1” (78.2mm) total length and a heat sink that is only 1.26” (32mm) in diameter, these bulbs fit in tight applications that traditional LED upgrades cannot touch. This new compact design is a great value and doesn’t compromise performance. By engineering a high-density fin design these bulbs stay as cool or even cooler than the traditional LED bulbs with bulky heat sinks or messy braid designs. The light output is equally impressive with a total of 6,000 lumens of cool white (6500K) illumination.

“The addition of this new product line allows Metra dealers to offer a cost-effective replacement LED bulb for budget-conscious drivers who still want the benefit of brighter, higher output LED lights,” says Joel Bransdorfer, Director of Product Development for The Install Bay. Kits are available in 20 of the most common sizes, including single and dual beam options. See all of the new products at SEMA in the Metra Electronics main booth 11629 (North Hall) and with their off-road, truck and powersports accessories at booth 37011 in the South Hall Upper Level.

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. Powersports, Jeep®, truck and off-road accessories will be on display at booth 37017 in the South Hall Upper Level at SEMA.
