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

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.
