The Industry's #1 Resource




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.

Torrance, Calif. (Oct. 30, 2018)— Alpine Electronics today unveiled its newest demo vehicle, a 2018 four-door Jeep Wrangler, at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas which runs today through Nov. 2, 2018. This custom-made Wrangler is ready for a casual day on the trail or a tailgating party at the stadium and includes a multitude of features to meet any need in either situation. 

“This Wrangler showcases our newest product, the i209-WRA-JL,” said Mike Anderson, vice president and general manager, aftermarket business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “The i209-WRA-JL is the first 9-inch aftermarket screen system for the 2018 four-door Jeep Wrangler, and we’re excited to unveil it in this unique vehicle at the SEMA Show.”

Debut of the i209-WRA-JL

The Alpine infotainment system in the demo vehicle centers around the i209-WRA-JL, a 9-inch touch screen system making its debut at the SEMA Show. The i209-WRA-JL is compatible with the 2018 four-door Jeep Wrangler and is the first aftermarket 9-inch screen upgrade for this model.

The i209-WRA-JL’s mech-less design features AM/FM, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, HD Radio™, Bluetooth®wireless technology and is SiriusXM-Ready™ (requires tuner and subscription, sold separately). The 9-inch capacitive touch screen is surrounded by a ruggedizeddash bezel, which has hard keys for the most commonly used infotainment sources.

Dual-Zone Infotainment System

A dual-zone, 1680-watt Alpine sound system takes over the Wrangler. For everyday drives, the main cabin is supported by the PSS-23WRA, a 300-watt powered system upgrade for2018 and future model years four-door Jeep Wrangler models that do not have the optional factory Alpine premium sound system. This system consists of the PWE-S8 powered subwoofer, KTP-445U 4-channel compact amplifier, SPR-10TW 2-inch component tweeters, and a remote bass knob. The subwoofer and amplifier are mounted under the front passenger’s seat, while the tweeters fit into the factory locations.

When it’s time torest on the trail or join a tailgate party, the Wrangler’s second sound system is ready to amp up the fun. This 1380-watt, second zone sound system ispowered by two X-Series amplifiers, the 4-channel X-A70F and the mono X-A90M, mounted in the cargo area. Also in the cargo area is a PXE-0850S advanced wireless digital sound processor, which allows for proper sound tuning from the convenience of the compatible smartphone app. One pair of R-Series R-S65 6.5-inch coaxial 2-way speakers is mounted in custom pods located in the rear hatch ceiling, while an R-W12D4 R-Series 12-inch subwoofer supplies emphatic bass.

Smittybilt Stryker front and rear bumpers are mounted on the Wrangler, and both bumpers have Pro Comp lights installed in them. To assist with viewability, an HCE-C2600FD4 front camera and HCE-C2100RD4 rear view camera are installed in the bumpers. Both cameras are controlled by the Alpine KCX-C250MC multi-camera selector interface, allowing for easy back-and-forth switching of the camera images on the i209-WRA-JL’s screen. A Pro Comp light bar provides additional lighting when needed and can be controlled from the i209-WRA-JL’s touch screen via the Alpine KAC-001 external accessory control module.

Custom-Designed Fun

Custom modifications transformed the Wrangler into a rolling entertainment zone. The interior seats are wrapped in smooth grain black Napa leather and feature a gray, custom-stitched design inspired by the pattern on the speaker grills.

The factory hatch door was replaced with a custom door that motorizes out and up, to be used as an awning to provide some welcome shade from the sun. A bench slides out from the hatch, then drops and unfolds once it clears the bumper, revealing black leather seating that matches the Wrangler’s interior. A custom chamber with a built-in drink cooler and the R-W12D4 subwoofer is attached to the back of the bench and slides out along with it. 

The Wrangler was customized by Define Customs of Orange, Calif. The vehicle is on display at the SEMA Show in the Smittybilt booth (South Hall, #35061) and will be used at Alpine consumer and retailer events throughout 2019. The i209-WRA-JL will be available at authorized Alpine retailers in February 2019.
