Ballistic provides dampening solutions to dramatically improve sound quality and drastically reduce road noise in the Performance Grade Ballistic Hollow Point Series, Competition Grade Ballistic Series and the Reference Grade Ballistic Magnum Series.
Ballistic Magnum- Ballistics’ top-of-the-line Magnum Series utilizes a revolutionary new butyl rubber composite called CarbonX. A PVC carbon fiber finish is applied to the reinforced aluminum constraining layer. The result is Ballistic Magnum delivers the best noise suppression available.
Ballistic- Ballistic still delivers the industry leading performance that Ballistic has become famous for and now is available in the new jet-black finish. Ballistic is up to 30% thicker than the other guy’s stuff and still remains the only brand to utilize the proven Perma-StickTM adhesive.

Ballistic Hood Armor is engineered for use in the engine compartment and Ballistic Suppressor serves as a carpet pad or an excellent insulator between interior panels and hard surfaces.

Ballistic Hollow Point still delivers more mass per ft2 and is thicker then competitors in the category. Yet Ballistic Hollow Point is thinner and lighter weight then the Competition Grade Ballistic.
Mr. Jake Bates in Metra Sales says, “Our dealers have always appreciated the consistent performance and added profit margin that Ballistic products have provided. We listened to our dealers and have developed the industry’s most comprehensive line up of sound dampening products. Now regardless of the sophistication of the installation Ballistic has a product that is sure to improve both the performance of the system and increase our dealer’s profitability. Aside from Ballistics’ superior performance dealers also have the advantage of adding Ballistic products to their existing Metra orders in order to qualify for free freight and programs. ”

METRA ELECTRONICS INTRODUCES 2011 AND NEWER BUICK REGAL AUDIO DASH KITS
Available in Factory Matte Black and Matte Brown
OCTOBER 2011: HOLLY HILL, FL – Metra Electronics is pleased to announce their stereo dash kit for the 2011 and newer Buick Regal. Regal owners can now upgrade their stereos and retain OEM appearance. This kit also includes the
ASWC which saves installers countless hours by eliminating the need for specific interfaces for various stereo systems and vehicles. The Axxess ASWC (US Pat. No. 8014920) is the smartest steering wheel control on the market today because it identifies the vehicle and radio – then presets the steering wheel controls automatically
View the video for the 99-2022B Stereo dash kit for 2011 and up BUICK REGAL
Available in scratch resistant paint colors matte black (part number 99-2022B) and matte brown (part number 99-2022BR), these dash kits kits are available for DIN and DDIN. Both DIN and DDIN kits allow the climate functions, vehicle customization menus and in dash display to remain the same as factory. The climate controls for DDIN are relocated with included parts, therefore dash modifications are not necessary.
The included Axxess Onstar/Chime Retention Interface is designed to retain OnStar and warning chimes that are normally lost when the OEM radio is removed. More importantly, the interface keeps the driver information screen “alive” so it can provide driver information menus and climate control information. Switched power is difficult to find in newer GM cars, so the interface provides a 12 volt accessory output for aftermarket radio operation. It also provides a Mute, Parking Brake, VSS or speed sense, and a Reverse output to make installing an aftermarket navigation unit simple and less time consuming.
Sold seperatly, part number 40-EU55, the Aftermarket Radio-VW Amp Roof Antenna, is a must have with these two dash kits. The powered antenna and new FACRA style connector attaches to the new aftermarket radio.
Whatever the year or model of your vehicle, Metra has the audio kit to transform the sound without changing the original
factory appearance. Metra remains on the cutting edge of technology.

Metra's Ethereal Home Theater division is proud to display its HDMI over category 6 cable system
Sep 9, 2011 | Filed under: Metra Electronics
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ethereal Home Theater HDMI™ OVER SINGLE CAT6
HOLLY HILL, FL – Ethereal Home Theater and Accessories, a division of Metra Electronics, is proud to display its latest HDMI over category 6 cable system that needs only one CAT 5/6 cable. Using just one CAT5/6 cable, Ethereal’s new HDM-CAT6SC system is able to fully support the bandwidth needed to access all of the new features of HDMI 1.4A enabled electronics (except Ethernet). The system can use a CAT5/6/7; a CAT6/7 is preferred.
The HDM-CAT6SC innovations include TMDS re-clocking correction on both Tx and Rx. The unique addition of video detection indicators on both Tx and Rx allows the user to visually monitor the TMDS digital video at both the transmitter and the receiver. This now enables video diagnostics on both the transmitter and receiver – making it easy to diagnose video problems. The DDC Diagnostics features new and improved HDCP and EDID analysis and troubleshooting. This provides another way to monitor and detect a response visibly for HDCP keys and the EDID plug-and-play screen information. In addition, the system features HotPlug Detect Verification as part of the HDMI start-up system. Without it the system will not function. Again, a visible indicator verifies that HotPlug Detect took place.
Other features include:
-
Supports full 340MHz / 3.4Gbps HDMI 1.4 (without Ethernet).
-
100-feet with hopping capabilities for up to 4 times the distance.
-
Fully capable for 3D, 4K 2K, and Deep Color.
-
5 Volt supply, located on transmitter.
-
Infrared from display to source. Remove
-
39 DB overall gain available. Now the integrator can customize each unit for the length of cable by way of a digital display. Calibrated in db, the HDM Cat6SC can be customized for exact lengths maximizing the HDMI interface capabilities. With built in static memory the HDM Cat6SC will remember this setting even if power is turn off.

HOLLY HILL, FL, September, 2011 – Metra Electronics, known for 65 years as a leader in innovative automobile accessories, announced today the introduction of the new Audio Solutions™ home and consumer product line. Audio Solutions™ More Than Just Great Sound™.
Audio Solutions’ flagship products include 3.1 TV Audio Mount™ and 2.1 TV Audio Mount™, proprietary product designs that blend functional convenience with a premium audio system. These patent pending products simplify consumer installation of flat panel TVs by integrating a sturdy wall-mount bracket with a subwoofer and speakers, revolutionizing the ever-growing flat panel TV market. The 3.1 model adjusts to fit any 37” to 60” screen, and the 2.1 model adjusts to fit any 32” to 55” screen.
The audio technology incorporated into these revolutionary products rivals stand-alone speakers of various price points.

The subwoofer is a proprietary woofer with a combination of high excursion and very shallow overall depth. It is loaded into a patented, acoustic manifold that increases efficiency, reduces distortion, and controls cone motion for high impact, high output bass. The 3.1 TV Audio Mount™ also incorporates Dolby® ProLogic® II for enveloping seamless, natural surround sound instead of hearing ordinary two-channel audio.

The unique backlight increases visibility of the rubber buttons that retain the factory hazard button, lock/unlock, and the driver information control center buttons. With these two installation kits, make an audio upgrade for your Fiesta custom, and still maintain factory look and feel. To complete installation, be sure to use wire harness XSVI-5824-NAV Ford interface for years 2011 and newer. The multi-application adapter is part number 40-EU10. (Wiring and antenna connections sold separately).
