Holly Hill, Fla. – October 31, 2025 – Axxess® by Metra Electronics® will introduce a new radio status control interface that can be paired with vehicle-specific and radio-specific accessory harnesses (sold separately) for a complete plug-n-play installation. These new integrations will be displayed at this year's SEMA Show, taking place from November 4th to 7th at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

It also provides 12-volt, 10-amp accessory power and NAV outputs for parking brake, reverse, and speed sense connections.
For a complete plug-n-play installation, an assortment of new radio status control harnesses are available for purchase to pair with this interface, designed to fit a variety of vehicles and radios:

- Select 2020-Up* Ford (AXRSCH-FD3)
- Select 2011-2020 Hyundai/Kia (AXRSCH-HK1)

- Select Dual/Jensen radios (AXRSCH-DUJ)
- Select Boss radios (AXRSCH-BOS)
- Select Modus radios (AXRSCH-MOD)

The radio-specific status control harnesses provide installers with a cost-effective option for simplifying the installation of select aftermarket radios. Paired with one of the new vehicle-specific, "car-side" harnesses, these radio status control harnesses provide a complete plug-n-play installation, with no hardwiring required. They are an ideal choice for installers who want to reduce installation time while ensuring clean, professional wiring connections.

ModeLock PLM1, PLM2, and PLM3 Saves the User’s Current Drive Mode Settings for the Next Time the Vehicle is Started
CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2025 – Mid City Engineering, a leading provider of innovative accessories for the luxury vehicle market since 1999, today announced the release of ModeLock™, a new series of drive mode memory modules designed for select Porsche models.
The ModeLock module bypasses Porsche’s factory default of starting vehicles in “Normal” drive mode, allowing drivers to start every trip with their preferred performance settings.
“Porsche vehicles automatically start up in ‘Normal’ drive mode by default,” explained Dan Ruby, owner of Mid City Engineering. “The driver can change those parameters, but the vehicle won’t remember them for the next drive. ModeLock saves the driver’s preferred settings, so the car is always ready to go exactly the way you want it.”
ModeLock modules are designed for simple installation in the driver’s side kick panel and require only four connections: power, ground, CAN high, and CAN low.
- ModeLock PLM1(MSRP: $279) – Porsche 911 (MY 2023–2025)
- ModeLock PLM2(MSRP: $279) – Porsche Cayenne (MY 2022–2025)
- ModeLock PLM3(MSRP: $279) – Porsche Macan (MY 2025)
“Why not drive your Porsche the way you want to and hear that engine the way it’s meant to sound when you start it?” Ruby added. “With ModeLock, your Porsche is always ready with your chosen settings.”
Mid City Engineering will be confirming additional Porsche compatibility, with more applications expected in the coming weeks.

Event Takes Place Oct. 17-19 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island;
Modus’ Revolutionary 48V Audio System Technology Marks a Significant
Advancement in Mobile Audio Integration with Electric Vehicles
Oxnard, Calif., Oct. 6, 2025 – Next stop, New York.
Modus is proud to announce it will exhibit and demo audio systems at the upcoming Electrify Expo, held at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island Oct. 17-19.
On the heels Modus of Electrify Expos in Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago, Modus will once again feature its award-winning 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build at the New York event, which became a featured stop that drew crowds during the first three 2025 Electrify Expos it attended.
“New York is loud, and we are going to raise the decibel level with our Cybertruck demo, which has been incredibly popular with attendees during the current Electrify Expo tour,” said Jason Digos, Modus Senior Sales Trainer. “Attendees don’t realize such a high-end and powerful audio system can be integrated into today’s complex electric vehicles. Once they experience it, they are blown away. We can’t wait for New Yorkers to get a taste of what Modus can do for the electric vehicle industry.”
The misconception that premium audio is merely a luxury add-on overlooks the soundstage potential of EVs. These vehicles offer something combustion engines never could: silent cabins paired with abundant electrical power, creating an unprecedented opportunity for truly immersive, audiophile-grade sound systems.
The Modus Cybertruck installation achieves several industry firsts, showcasing Modus’ innovative PREACT™ current-averaging technology operating directly on Tesla’s 48V DC electrical system. This marks a significant advancement in mobile audio integration with electric vehicles, capable of delivering 6,000 watts (RMS) of audio power without requiring voltage inverters or additional batteries, which is a first for any EV audio system. This was made possible through Modus’ patented PREACT technology in the new Mezzo amplifier line, which operates with unprecedented efficiency at higher voltages.
“Consumers are often wary of adding or altering audio components in Teslas and other EVs because of their sophisticated electrical systems, but we are educating them that the technology is available today to do so safely and effectively,” Digos concluded.
The Modus Cybertruck debuted during the Modus brand launch event in March 2025. It will continue to be featured in additional industry events throughout 2025, showcasing the practical applications of Modus' breakthrough technologies in the emerging electric vehicle market.
