Press Release (edited): Metra is showing new integration solutions at the SEMA Show this week including new AX-DSP amp/interfaces for late model Fords.
Also new are vehicle specific retention solutions under the AX-CUSTOM-BT product line with new interfaces for Toyota, Mazda and Fiat.
New ADDCAM harnesses will be on display as well as three new steering wheel control retention interfaces, and other products.
In amplifier interfaces, new Axxess AX-DSP packages work with Ford 2017-up vehicles with a Sony A2B amplifier or 2018-up Fords with a Bang & Olufsen A2B amplifier. The interfaces retain SYNC voice prompts, parking sensor chimes and other factory chimes. All chimes and voice prompts will go through the aftermarket amplifier and have an adjustable chime level. The amplifier does not need to be retained and installation of the AX-DSP must be done at the amplifier location.
AX-CUSTOM-BT
New AX-CUSTOM-BT retention solutions allow users to access, edit and control setting for many of the most commonly lost vehicle personalization options when a radio is removed. These include settings for locks, security, engine off options, lights, a chime or other audio options (depending on the vehicle). Users manage these settings from a smartphone (over Bluetooth) via an app, once they install a new aftermarket radio.
New interfaces are as follows:
Mazda 2014-Up Personalization Retention Interface AX-MAZBT: ● Allows retention and adjustment of personalization options ● Adjust personalization option through Bluetooth® application ● Coming soon
Toyota 2018-Up Personalization Retention Interface AX-TOYBT ● Allows retention and adjustment of personalization options ● Adjust personalization option through Bluetooth® application ● Coming soon

Axxess is adding three new plug-n-play harnesses for select Chrysler/Dodge, Fiat and Mazda applications that work with the AX-ADDCAM camera switching interface, which integrate multiple cameras to the factory radio while still retaining the factory camera.
