Motor Authority -- For the fourth year in a row, the Ford Motor Company Mustang has been voted the Hottest Car at SEMA, though this year’s result isn’t very surprising as another typical contender for the top spot, the Chevrolet Camaro, is in the process of being replaced by an all-new model and thus wasn’t as popular with the tuning scene as in previous years. We could certainly see the tables turned next year once the sixth-generation Camaro has a full year on the market.

Judges pick the Hottest Car at SEMA by counting the vehicles displayed in exhibitor booths and determining which is the most popular. To be eligible, the vehicles have to be available for the current model year, and both independent firms as well as the OEMs are allowed to participate. And there are multiple categories too, including for the Hottest 4x4-SUV, Hottest Truck and Hottest Sport Compact.

Two other Fords joined the Mustang as Hottest Cars at SEMA. They include the F-Series pickup truck in the Hottest Truck category and the Focus sedan and hatch in the Hottest Sport Compact category. The Hottest 4x4-SUV award went to the Jeep Wrangler.

STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® is thrilled to announce the KEY180.4 Smart Amplifier was honored twice at the 2018 SEMA Show, both as a SEMA New Product Showcase finalist and with a SEMA Global Media Award.

“It shows your engineering and ingenuity. The New Product Showcase is a tremendous honor,” said Bill Miller, SEMA’s Senior VP of Operations. KICKER was announced as a finalist in the “Best New Mobile Electronics Product” category.

“We have over 3,000 products entered as part of our Showcase,” Miller explained about the rigorous process SEMA uses to choose the Showcase honorees. “We have a group of 27 retailers who judge the products in a variety of categories.”

In addition, the Global Media Awards are presented by industry news writers from all over the world, with journalists choosing the most impactful new products based on their industry experience. Editor of Canada’s Performance Auto and Sound magazine Micky Slinger chose the KEY amp.

“I read Garry Springgay’s review (in PAS) and was amazed by the technology, especially with AI (artificial intelligence) assist,” said Slinger referring to the October article. “You install it, and it tunes the whole audio system. That’s really, really cool. It’s intuitive, and something I can see it being easy for the user – especially for our readers. It’s very innovative, and it’s going to elevate the ease of use for people that see audio as something too technical for them. When I saw it in the display, there was no way I could pass it without awarding it.”

The revolutionary 4-channel, 180-watt amplifier uses proprietary AI to automatically increase the realism, clarity and volume of nearly any audio system with the press of a button. The KEY works with even the most modern factory or aftermarket audio systems, including those equipped with start/stop technology.

Holly Hill, Fla. – October 23, 2023 – Heise LED Lighting Systems® by Metra Electronics® is bringing an assortment of new RGB, RGBW, and Chasing vehicle lighting to SEMA 2023. On display will be innovative accent lighting kits, single expandable wheel rings, rock light expansion packs, a variety of chasing LED tubes, low voltage chasing extension cables, and more. These products will be showcased from October 31 through November 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and include:

Chasing Accent Lighting Kits

Heise LED is introducing three new accent lighting kits to add brilliant LEDs to vehicles. They are displaying a kit to illuminate truck beds, a kit to add backlighting to vehicle front grilles, and a kit that dramatically illuminates both the front and rear interior footwells. The new chasing LED Truck Bed Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-BED)​​, Grille Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-GRILLE), and Interior Lighting Kit (HE-CHASE-INT) each come with a Heise Connect chasing controller and include all the chasing LED tubes, cables, and hardware needed for easy installation.

Single RGB, RGBW, and Chasing Expandable Wheel Rings

Heise LED will also display new single expandable wheel rings available in RGB, RGBW, and chasing options that make it easy to replace a damaged wheel ring or enhance a lighting system by illuminating a vehicle's mounted spare tire. There are two new sets for each LED lighting option with wheel rings that expand from either 11-inch to 14-inch or 15-inch to 18-inch in size. A split ring design makes it easy to assemble and adjust the aluminum wheel rings to fit the wheel's diameter. Each kit includes two aluminum expandable wheel ring segments, a cuttable LED strip, a 10-foot extension cable, a Y adapter, thread lock, mounting brackets, and hardware.

Rock Light Expansion Packs

New rock light expansion packs that quickly and easily expand a vehicle's Heise LED lighting system or replace damaged rock lights will be displayed. These kits are available in RGB, RGBW, or chasing options and can be paired with virtually any Heise LED product. They include four daisy-chainable rock lights, four curved rubber-covered mounting bases, four 10-foot extension cables, and a drill template. These lights can be paired with their respective RGB, RGBW, or chasing Heise Connect controller, sold separately.

Chasing LED Tubes

Also on display will be new chasing LED tubes that installers can use to customize the LED lighting system on any vehicle or easily replace a damaged light with the correct size chasing LED Tube. These lights have both an input and output to be used anywhere in a chasing daisy chain of lights and are available in 9-inch (HE-CHASE-T9), 12-inch (HE-CHASE-T12), 18-inch (HE-CHASE-T18), 28-inch (HE-CHASE-T28), and 48-inch (HE-CHASE-T48) lengths.

Heise Connect Low Voltage Chasing Extension Cables

SEMA attendees will also learn about new low-voltage chasing extension cables designed for integration with the Heise Connect low-voltage chasing controller (HE-CHASELV-CB). These cables provide flexibility and convenience, allowing installers to extend and expand their illumination possibilities like never before. These cables, available in 2-foot (HE-CLV-2EXT), 4-foot (HE-CLV-4EXT), and 10-foot (HE-CLV-10EXT) lengths, make it easy to extend chasing LED lighting to every corner of a vehicle to illuminate everything from the undercarriage to the interior to the engine bay. They are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure reliable power distribution, a stable connection, and long-lasting performance. Heise LED is also introducing a new 6-inch low voltage chasing Y adapter (HE-CLV-Y) that allows installers to create intricate and elaborate lighting setups by effortlessly splitting a daisy chain of multiple lighting components for versatile customization.

Wheel Ring Backbone Y Harness Sets

Heise LED will also debut new RGB (HE-RGB-WWH), RGBW (HE-RGBW-WWH), and chasing (HE-CHASE-WWH) wheel ring backbone Y harness sets at the SEMA show designed to help maintain LED lighting systems and keep them operating at peak performance. These sets include left and right harnesses and let installers replace damaged cables without purchasing a new lighting kit. The harnesses can also be used to design a custom lighting system by connecting rock lights or other devices.

Heise Connect Controller RF Remote

Another new item that Heise LED will introduce for 2023 is an RF remote that works with all Heise Connect controllers to operate RGB, RGBW, or chasing lighting systems. This will serve as a replacement for lost or damaged controller remotes and will also act as a secondary remote for users who wish to have a backup or have more than one person control a vehicle's LED lights at the same time.

These new products work cohesively with all Heise RGB, RGBW, or chasing LED lighting, respectively, as part of the Heise Connect Universe (HCU). When connected to Heise Connect RGB, RGBW, or chasing controllers, they can be controlled via the Heise Connect app, available for download on smartphones and tablets. The app features a selectable color wheel that lets users choose from 16 million RGB color options, and a true white light color option is available with RGBW products. Users can also select from 24 pre-programmed patterns for RGB and RGBW and 170+ pre-programmed moving patterns for Chasing. A DIY pattern option can be chosen for chasing products, allowing 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.

Metra's main SEMA Show booth will be #10539 in the North Hall, and its off-roading and powersports products will be displayed at booth #60031 in the West Hall. More product details are available at MetraOnline.com.

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.

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.
