Holly Hill, Fla. – October 24, 2023 – Heise LED Lighting Systems® by Metra Electronics® is bringing new ambient lighting kits to SEMA 2023. A new 18-piece chasing interior ambient lighting kit, a chasing LED ambient door lighting kit, and a chasing LED ambient dash lighting kit will be showcased 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.

Chasing Interior Ambient Lighting Kit

The 18-piece HE-AMB-CAR is a complete chasing ambient lighting kit that includes everything installers need to transform the interior of any car from ordinary to extraordinary. Ambient LED lighting for the dash, footwells, door handles, door pockets, and doors is included, surpassing that of luxury cars on the market, and the chasing patterns create a fun sci-fi effect. Additionally, a new reverse/door trigger function is activated by connecting the trigger to the door circuit. This option switches the entire kit to a solid white display when one of the vehicle's doors is opened and resumes a chasing display once the door closes. This kit includes five Heise Connect chasing controllers that can easily be grouped within the free downloadable Heise Connect app for smartphones and tablets. One controller is installed in the dash and connects to the two dash strips and the four footwell lights. The remaining four controllers are installed within each of the vehicle's doors and connect to the door's LED strip, handle accent light, and pocket light. Using five controllers makes installation easier and faster than running multiple extension cables through the door boots.

Chasing LED Ambient Door Lighting Kit

Installers can add ambient lighting along the interior contours of any vehicle's doors with the HE-AMB-2DR two-door kit. This kit includes two 2.5-foot chasing LED ambient mini strips, two chasing Heise Connect controllers, and two RF remotes. It is designed to add lighting accents to door panels reminiscent of modern luxury vehicles. A controller is included for each door for simplified installation.

Chasing LED Ambient Dash Lighting Kit

The HE-AMB-2KT quickly and easily adds brilliant ambient lighting along the contours of any vehicle's interior. This kit includes two chasing LED mini strips, a chasing Heise Connect controller, and an RF remote. Each light strip has an ultra-dense LED configuration that creates fluid motion and is controlled via the free downloadable Heise Connect mobile app for smart devices.

The HE-CHASE-CB Heise Connect chasing controller featured in these new ambient lighting kits is specifically designed to work with Heise Chasing LEDs, making customization and control of these products effortless. It features two wireless control options; an included remote control or via the Heise Connect downloadable app for smartphones or tablets. Users can easily group multiple controllers through the app, and every controller has left and right zones for independent turn signal control wires and a dedicated brake light trigger wire. This product works with all Heise LED Chasing products. It can be controlled via the Heise Connect App, which allows users to remotely control Heise LED lighting products from the palm of their hand.

The Heise Connect app automatically connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology and detects the type of control box connected to the app, RGB, RGBW, or Chasing, allowing groups of all products to be used and controlled within the same mobile app. For chasing Heise LED products such as the new ambient LED kits, users can select from 170+ pre-programmed moving patterns. There is also a DIY chasing pattern option that allows 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.

More product information and details will be available at HeiseLED.com soon after the SEMA show.

Holly Hill, FL – October 25, 2023 –iBEAM Vehicle Safety Systems by Metra Electronics® will display new safety and surveillance solutions at the 2023 SEMA show, October 31 to November 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. On display will be an adjustable spare tire camera kit, a universal multi-mount camera system, and a window-mounted 2K DVR. These products are designed to increase safety for a wide assortment of vehicles. Metra's main SEMA Show booth will be #10539 in the North Hall of the LVCC, and its off-roading and powersports products will be on display at booth #60031 in the West Hall.

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. Additionally, the TE-ASTCAM boasts excellent low-light capabilities with its 0.6 LUX night vision, allowing drivers to navigate safely in dimly lit areas or during nighttime parking.

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 multi-mount safety and security camera system is a high-quality eyeball camera with five mounting options: a license plate bracket, rubber mount, angle mount, square mount, and flush mount for unmatched versatility. The TE-5MSC delivers exceptional image quality with the camera's PC7070D 1/4 CMOS sensor and an impressive pixel resolution to ensure sharp visuals. This durable camera is rated IP68 to withstand harsh environments and operates reliably in a wide range of temperatures. Its DC power source features a minimum requirement of 6V and a maximum of 16V, allowing for flexible powering options and easy integration with existing systems. With conservative power consumption and a low current draw, this camera ensures minimal power usage while providing superior performance. Drivers can switch between the video image and reverse image display to adapt to different scenarios, while selectable parking lines assist with parking and maneuvering.

Window Mounted 2K DVR

iBEAM will display a new TE-DVR-30 window-mounted 2K DVR that can conveniently capture potentially vital information related to traffic collisions or other incidents. The 2K video quality ensures that a vehicle's driving history will be recorded with license plates and street signs displayed legibly. This device can help protect drivers from liability in cases where video evidence needs to be presented in a court setting or for insurance purposes. 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. Once the memory card is full, this DVR is designed to loop back to the beginning of the feed and start recording over the oldest content. This prevents users from manually deleting their old content to free up space on the memory card. A built-in G-force sensor detects collisions and automatically locks the stored video to prevent recordings from being overwritten once an incident has occurred.

More information about these products will be available at iBEAMusa.com soon after the SEMA Show.

Holly Hill, Fla. –  October 8, 2019 – Metra Electronics®, the leading manufacturer of aftermarket 12volt installation solutions, will introduce new automotive cameras from iBEAM® at the 2019 SEMA Show. As more drivers see the value in upgrading their vehicles to reduce blind spots, prevent a collision, and in the event of an accident, protect themselves from liability with recorded footage, installers have an opportunity to provide quality aftermarket solutions from iBEAM that rival high-end OEM options.

Universal 360-Degree Interior View Cameras

iBEAM will introduce two new camera systems that record everything going on while driving - both inside and out. The difference between the kits is that one displays video on a replacement rearview mirror monitor and the other has a built-in DVR and displays video on an LCD monitor that mounts to the dash or windshield.

The TE-360M45 replacement rearview mirror with a built-in 360-degree dash camera mounts onto the windshield to simultaneously record the driver's view of the front of the vehicle and the interior of the vehicle. The TE-DVR360 dash camera and touchscreen LCD monitor is mounted onto the windshield for a complete 360-degree view from the driver's perspective, including the interior of the vehicle. Both systems allow the user to pan left or right on the touchscreen for a wider field of view and also offer a split or quad-screen view. The camera kits also include a rearview camera that mounts outside on the back of the vehicle for a 130-degree diagonal field of view when in reverse. Both cameras have an interior audio recording and snapshot capability that is ideal for rideshare or commercial drivers looking to document both the interior and exterior vehicle events with high-definition 1080p video recording. Both the TE-360M45 and the TE-DVR360 come complete with a universal mount for any car model and easy installation.

Holly Hill, Fla. – October 29, 2024 – Metra Electronics® is showcasing aftermarket accessories designed to fit select late-model Jeep® Gladiator JT and Wrangler JL vehicles at this year's SEMA Show. Show attendees can view them from November 5th to 8th in Metra's main SEMA Show booth, #10439, in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and at its off-roading and powersports booth, #24743, in the Central Hall. The manufacturer will display new items, including a soundbar adapter, lower dash speaker grille cut-ins, lower dash speaker pods, and popular products from its existing lineup of audio accessories. These upgrades cover applications for 2018-up* Jeep® vehicles, including 2024 models, making Metra an industry leader for these highly sought-after products.

Soundbar Adapter

The new JP-1019 allows installers to upgrade the soundbar in 2024-up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT from the 4" and 3" factory speakers to a 6-inch to 6.75-inch aftermarket speaker by cutting the interior of the factory soundbar. It offers an optional tweeter location and includes adapter plates, speaker harnesses, grille replacements, and all hardware required for installation. This adapter retains your factory dome light in the soundbar location, and the replacement grilles feature a factory-style textured finish with a custom-stamped metal grille for a stylish look.

Lower Dash Speaker Grille Cut-ins

Metra's new JP-1020 left and right lower dash speaker grille cut-ins enhance the appearance of 2024-up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT interiors when installing aftermarket speakers. They allow installers to widen the factory 4-inch opening to accommodate an upgrade to 6-inch to 6.75-inch speakers for more vivid sound while adding a bold style. These speaker covers feature a gloss black metal mesh grille with silver accents and perfectly complement the previously released JP-1017 dashboard speaker covers and the new JP-1014 dash speaker pods.

6"- 6.75" Lower Dash Speaker Pods

The new JP-1014 replacement speaker pods are designed to replace the original 4” speaker pods located under the driver and passenger side of the dashboard in the 2018-up* Jeep® Wrangler and 2020-up* Gladiator. Each pair of pods has an ABS housing that utilizes the factory mounting locations for a secure fit that will heighten the listening experience. They are installed using the factory grommet and wiring, and a Metra 12" speaker adapter harness is included.

Dashboard Speaker Grilles

Metra's popular JP-1017 is a set of custom-designed dashboard speaker grilles designed to enhance the interior appearance of select Jeeps® when installing aftermarket speakers. They are designed to fit the 2018-up* Wrangler JL and the 2020-up* Gladiator JT and allow speakers to be upgraded to a larger tweeter or mid-bass speaker for a more vivid sound. These speaker grilles feature a black metal grille with bold silver accents that match this year’s new JP-1020 lower dash speaker cut-ins, ensuring they complement each other perfectly.

Add-A-Sub Interface

Part of its existing product line, Metra's AXSUB-CH8 add-a-sub interface fits amplified and non-amplified 2021-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. It is installed at the radio location and features a 2-channel non-fading 5V RMS output, a fixed low pass frequency of 234Hz, and 250mA remote turn-on output. It includes a bass knob & vehicle-specific harness for easy installation and customization.

DSP-X Package with T-Harness

The AXDSPX-CH8 is a DSP-X package with T-harness that fits 2020-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. This previously introduced product in Metra's line offers installers a fast, cost-effective solution for improving the sound system with ten individually assigned output channels, the ability to password-protect your settings, and an easy-to-use smartphone app. It has an onboard digital amplifier turn-on capability with built-in technology to retain many of the vehicle's features commonly lost when installing a DSP.

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 – November 5, 2024 – Install Bay® by Metra Electronics® will display new additions to its comprehensive collection of professional installation products at SEMA, November 5th to 8th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visitors can see these new products in Metra's main booth, #10439, in the North Hall and at its off-roading and powersports booth, #24743, in the Central Hall. The brand will debut a new 120 series SB® connector kit, flush mount USB type-C charging socket, a level controller with voltmeter, extension cables, cable management clamp sets, window tint installation tools, and more.

120 Series SB® Connector Kit

The SB120-G is a gray connector housing kit, ideal for use on battery or charger applications, that provides a quick disconnect for power distribution systems. It is designed using reliable SB® flat-wiping

contact technology so that the contacts wipe or slide against each other during connection and disconnection, minimizing the build-up of any non-conductive deposits on the contacts themselves. The mated housings are color-matched for easy identification of plug and receptacle connectors.

Flush Mount USB Type-C Charging Socket

The IBR142 socket provides fast charging for smartphones, tablets, and other devices with a Type-C port. The PD3.0 power supply standard ensures a faster battery charge than traditional USB chargers and prevents devices from draining while in use. It can be installed by mounting it within a port in the vehicle's dash or center console or mounting it to the dash surface with the supplied flush-mount bracket. This socket features weather-resistant components, including a protective cover and a pre-wired mini-ATC fuse holder, making it an ideal solution for marine applications.

Level Controller with Voltmeter

The IBR143 is a level controller with a built-in voltmeter that prevents damage to a vehicle's audio equipment. It combines a power switch, bass knob, and voltmeter, making it easy to adjust the bass level and consistently monitor amplifier voltage to avoid drops or spikes. This unit offers remote gain control, a rotary pushable ON/OFF switch, and a digital voltmeter display.

Flush Mount USB 4.0 Type-C Extension Cables

Available in 1-meter (IBR144) or 1-foot (IBR145) lengths, Install Bay's new USB 4.0 Type-C extension cables can be installed by feeding through a port in the dash or by mounting beneath the dash with the supplied flush-mount bracket to easily connect USB-C devices. USB 4.0 is the latest specification of USB, offering data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps to ensure reliable CarPlay® and Android™ audio performance.

100-Piece Modular Cable Management Clamp Sets

The Install Bay has two new modular cable management clamp sets in 8GA to 4GA (IBCTKIT75) or 4GA to 1/0GA (IBCTKIT100). These cable clamp sets make it easy for installers to secure and organize wiring for show-quality audio installations. The included cable clamps feature a unique dovetail click-lock design that attaches single or bundled wires to surfaces and allows multiple clamps to be assembled in creative configurations, keeping wires evenly spaced in straight runs or around corners.

Window Tint, PPF, Vinyl, and Film Installation Tools

New hard cards and specialized scrubbing tools for tint and film installers will be at SEMA. The cherry suede blade tool (GT2097-4) and lemon suede blade tool (GT2096-4) are multipurpose card-shaped installation tools with both hard and soft edges. They each offer their own level of flexibility and contour to surfaces to smooth bumps and bubbles from materials. The GT2003PLT is a platinum easy-reach hard card designed to reach difficult corners. The tint installer's scrubber tool, the GT209, has a 15-inch handle that extends its scrub pad, allowing installers to scrub the lower windshield and other hard-to-reach areas. The scrub-it blue pad (GT2120B) is an ergonomic scrubbing tool that attaches to an installer's hand with an included hook-and-loop style strap for easier scrubbing of stubborn glue and contaminants.

The Install Bay's new products also include UV-stable interior protection tape, bulk roll black speaker acoustic grille cloth ideal for custom fabrication and speaker grille repair, and more. Additional product information is available at theInstallBay.com.

New brand encompasses consumables, templates and replaceable components

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- November 11, 2021 (MEDIAWIRE) – Kingpin University (KPU) launched a new brand to distinguish its fabrication materials from its professional installer training. Kingpin Fab Products comprises the company’s templates, router bits, hand tools, fabrication aids and consumables. The new line debuted at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in the Cerwin-Vega / Diamond Audio booth.

The newest additions to the Kingpin Fab Products line include the second-generation Clean Wire System, which helps technicians highlight connectivity alongside creative amplifier and component layouts. The Router Shield System protects hands and deflects debris when using a router and features three sizes to match any project. In addition, the Kingpin Fab Products filler line consists of two versions—Create and Levitate – to give fabricators versatility in sculpting strength and finish. Additional products will be announced in the coming months.

“We’d like to thank Diamond Audio / Cerwin-Vega for giving us space in their booth to showcase and announce our launch,” said Jason Kranitz, president of Kingpin University and its accompanying retail store Kingpin Car and Marine Audio. “With the growth of our product line, we felt the timing was right to give our products branding that is separate from our training services. It also gives us the ability to market the product line beyond the mobile electronics industry. SEMA, despite lower overall attendance, was a great show for us and was the perfect kick-off for the new line.”

Kingpin Fab Products will soon receive its own website at kingpinfabproducts.com, where retailers will be able to place orders at wholesale pricing. For more informationon Kingpin University or Kingpin Fab Products, please visit kingpinuniversity.com.

NEW for 2020, Premium Series speakers take the top tier in the mobile lineup

SEMA, Las Vegas – MB Quart is showcasing the new, top of the line, Premium Series speakers at SEMA 2019 (booth #60012). Included in the new line is a reintroduction of a classic MB Quart configuration that we have not offered for several years, the PS1-316 400 Watt, 3-Way component system. This Premium audiophile system is a 3-Way component package complete with a pair of newly designed 1” Magnesium dome Widesphere technology tweeters that deliver exceptional musical reproduction of high frequencies (with a large sweet spot or off-axis listening area) plus two pairs of mid-range and mid-bass drivers. 

The larger drivers start with a pair of 4” mid-range speakers (to handle higher midrange tones) and a pair of 6.5” mid-bass drivers for drums and high sub frequencies. These drivers utilize the curvilinear cone shape that MB Quart made famous and are constructed from a lightweight aerated pop paper with Mica blend. The mids and mid-bass speakers are housed in an innovative frame which is engineered with PA66 composite with 30% glass fiber added. This material renders the frame inert, eliminating harmonic distortion from vibration.

PS1-316 Premium 3-Way Component System

The entire package is controlled by an external three-way crossover network that will be appreciated by any audiophile for its ability to guide the proper frequencies from the amplifier into the appropriate drivers without coloring the sound. This is accomplished through the use of high tolerance, private label parts. Every model in the Premium line is engineered with the same meticulous care that we put into the PS1-316.

Brian Sherman, Vice President of Product & Marketing for Maxxsonics USA said, “At MB Quart, we put sound quality above everything else and our new Premium Series speakers are just the latest example of this approach. The use of exotic materials, like lightweight aerated pop paper cones with Mica blend and real magnesium tweeter domes, is yet another big step in performance for the MB Quart brand.”

Memphis tower speakers featuring ATACTM will debut live at SEMA 2022 in the Memphis Audio booth 11039 and will be available in early 2023

October 27, 2022 -- Memphis Audio takes a bold new innovative approach to tower speakers with its new groundbreaking tweeter array design. This patented Memphis Tweeter Array known as ATACTM (Advanced Tweeter Array Construction) is unlike anything ever seen before on a tower speaker. Memphis has opted to ditch the traditional compression horn tweeter for their vastly superior new patented tweeter array design.

The main principle behind the ATACTM technology is fairly simple: Standard compression horn tower speakers have a horn in the center of the woofer resulting in a less efficient woofer. The decrease in efficiency is due to the gasket used to seal the gap between the woofer and the horn. This gasket adds weight to the center of the cone negatively impacting the cones performance. The gap in the center of the woofer also reduces effective surface area which means the woofer moves less air, less air means less output.

By using the bridged tweeter array, Memphis has freed up significant surface area on the cone and reduced a great deal of weight from the center resulting in a significant boost in SPL. In addition to a boost in mid bass, the tweeter array design also excels in tweeter performance due to the innovative nature of the design. Instead of a single horn tweeter, the array design allows for a greater number of individual tweeters in a curved design much like one would see in a high dispersion line array concert speaker.

Memphis 10” tower speakers are equipped with 4 tweeters while the 8” towers have 3 tweeters. The individual tweeters produce a less erratic frequency response than traditional compression drivers which allows Memphis ATACTM to provide more output and a balanced frequency response. In short, this means that the array design produces a better sound with more output. The curved nature of the tweeter array broadens the angle of dispersion leaving you with a better sounding experience from any angle behind your boat.

Another key benefit of this design is huge improvement in durability versus standard compression horn towers. The absence of a center mounted compression horn allows for a completely sealed tower speaker leaving nowhere for water to enter the speaker. This is particularly beneficial in salt water and marine applications which can quickly degrade a traditional tower speaker.

Memphis ATACTM tower speakers are available in an 8” 3-tweeter array design and a 10” 4-tweeter array design and will be dressed in two color options, a brilliant white or a dark black. Both the woofer and the tweeters in the array feature RGB LED lighting resulting in a vibrant lightshow that looks amazing at night. Memphis also added an integrated RGB LED ring around the side of the can itself as well as a rear RGB LED ring making this speaker shine from all angles. The backside of the tower speakers features a large RGB LED Memphis badge emblazoned on the back. Both the rear logo and the front grill can be rotated easily to accommodate any mounting angle of the speaker for an ultra-clean symmetrical look.
