Axxess Introduces AXTC “Total Control” Interfaces for BMW/Mini Cooper, GM and Mercedes

Jan 6, 2020

Holly Hill, FL – January 6, 2020 - Axxess® by Metra Electronics®  is introducing eight new products in its Total Control Interface Series™ for radio replacement integration. A new solution for BMW and Mini Cooper, six new solutions for GM and one new solution for Mercedes have been added to the Total Control Interface Series (AXTC) product line. The AXTC product line was first launched at CES 2019 as a new data interface that combines all of the features of Axxess’ steering wheel control technology with additional patent-pending features into one robust solution for new radio installations. When replacing a radio, the interface utilizes patented Auto-Detect technology1 that automatically detects the vehicle type, radio connection and preset controls, while allowing the ability to dual assign steering wheel controls. This low-profile interface provides NAV outputs, accessory power and a 12-volt illumination output, in addition to retaining R.A.P. and depending on the vehicle, may also retain chimes, balance and fade.

The Total Control Interface Series is designed to work with all major radio brands and both amplified and non-amplified audio systems (depending on the application). In addition to Auto-Detect, it can be manually programmed for most vehicles and will retain most settings even after battery disconnection or interface removal. Axxess has provided user-friendly instructions and an upgraded simple LED feedback process for easier programming. These new products will be on display at CES 2020 and shipping soon.
