Metra will introduce at the 2024 SEMA show about a dozen new dash kits for Jeep, F-Series trucks and more and new amplifier interfaces for Chrysler, Ford and Toyota.
The amplifier interfaces allow installers to add an aftermarket amplifier to a factory radio/infotainment system with a plug and play interface.
The new amp interfaces are for 2007-up Chrysler, select 2006-up Ford, and select 2003-up Toyota/Lexus/Scion.
Amplified and non-amplified vehicle applications will be available. They include external bass knobs for additional audio output level adjustments, dual-colored LED displays, and more. These integrations provide 6 channels of 5-volt RMS audio and install behind the radio with no programming required.
Metra dash kits to be shown at SEMA 2024 work with the following vehicles:
- 2011-2018.5 Jeep Wrangler JK (DP-6511-JK)
- 2018-2024 GMC Terrain (95-3315B)
- 2015-2022 Ford F-Series trucks with single zone climate controls (95-5869CH)
- 2015-2022 Ford F-Series trucks with single zone climate controls (95-5870CH)
- 2012-2018 Ford Focus (95-5871B)
- 2020-Up* Mitsubishi Outlander with factory 8″ screen smartphone-link display audio (95-7022HG)
- 2011-2016 Honda CRZ with factory navigation (95-7822)
- 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma (95-8275B)
- 2004-2007 BMW 5-Series (95-9328B)
- 2008-2012 Toyota Highlander with factory NAV (99-8274B/99-8274BR)
Metra’s new dash kit for the 2011-2018.5 Jeep Wrangler JK, the DP-6511-JK, includes a replacement dashboard panel engineered to help install a 4” tall (Double-DIN) aftermarket radio in a dash that does not typically accommodate a modern Double-DIN radio. The replacement panel allows installers to upgrade the radio without complex or labor-intensive custom fabrication. It is textured to match the original look and feel of the vehicle’s dashboard.
Two dash kits will debut designed to fit Pioneer modular receivers:
- 2011-2024 Select Ford Models equipped with the factory 8″ screen (107-FD11)
- 2022-2024 Ford Maverick (107-FD12)
The dash kits for Pioneer are exclusively manufactured to install Pioneer’s 6.8-inch modular receivers into the dash, like the DMH-WC5700NEX and the DMH-C2500NEX. These kits will also accommodate most shallow-mount 4” tall (Double-DIN) aftermarket radios. They feature ABS trim panels to match the aftermarket radios’ finish.
In addition, Metra is introducing a new combined TurboTactile and TurboTouch kit for 2013-2020 Nissan Pathfinders (95-7643). The kit has an advanced 7-inch touch screen that retains most of the factory features lost when adding an aftermarket radio (TurboTouch), and it also has rotary climate control knobs and hard buttons as in the TurboTactile line.
The kit retains climate control, safety, and steering wheel control features. The vehicle’s hazard button and passenger airbag indicator have also been integrated into the kit.
Metra is also introducing an amplifier bypass harness (70-5526) that fits select 2004-2006 Lincoln vehicles with THX® and an antenna adapter that fits select 2022-2024 Toyota vehicles (40-TY12).
These new products will be showcased from November 5th to 8th in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at Metra’s main SEMA Show booth, #10439. Visit MetraOnline.com for more information.
