GROM introduces AmpLinq amplifier replacement interface
GROM, a supplier of 12 volt aftermarket accessories, is expanding into the amplifier interface market with the AmpLinq, which will debut at KnowledgeFest in Dallas, September 20-22.

AmpLinq installs between the radio and an aftermarket amplifier, allowing the replacement of the factory amplifier.  It emulates the factory amplifier, allowing the original radio to control the aftermarket amplifier (volume, fader, balance, EQ, etc), eliminating the need for LOCs or channel summing, and using the existing factory harnesses, said GROM.

Initially, the AmpLinq will work with Toyota, Honda, Acura, Chrysler and some Ford vehicles. Eventually, almost all vehicles will be covered, said GROM.

Shipping is expected by Christmas at a price between $200 to $250, although final pricing will be determined in the coming weeks.

Also at KnowledgeFest, GROM will show the VLine VL2, an Android module that adds streaming apps and navigation to an OEM infotainment system.  It offers voice control and music streaming and access to apps such as Google Maps and Waze, from the factory radio touchscreen display. 
GROM Audio will host an info session at KnowledgeFest on Saturday, September 21, from 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM in the Cortez B room. The session, titled “OEM Amplifier Replacement: Considerations, Measurements, and Decision Making,” will  cover the challenges of replacing OEM amplifiers.

Topics include:

Types of OEM amplifiers and their strengths and limitations
Key considerations when planning an amplifier replacement
Measurable justification for the upgrade and best practices
Recommendations based on real-world measurements and data

GROM will display at booth #607 at KnowledgeFest at the Hilton Anatole and Convention Center in Dallas.
