About Metra Electronics

For more than 75 years, Metra Electronics has earned its reputation as The Installer's Choice® in the world of 12-volt automotive accessories. What started as a small car radio installation shop has grown into the global leader in dash kits and aftermarket audio installation products, engineering solutions trusted by professional installers and passionate do-it-yourselfers alike.

Metra's roots trace back to the earliest days of in-car entertainment, when founder Michael M. Somma recognized that fabricating custom radio brackets and trim panels wasn't just a local problem — it was a challenge faced by installers across the country. That insight led to the creation of a brand built on precision manufacturing, OEM-quality materials, and deep understanding of what installers actually need in the bay.

What Makes Metra Electronics Stand Out

Metra designs its products with the installer as the true end user. Every kit, harness, and bracket is engineered to deliver a clean, factory-finish look with minimal hassle. Their TURBOKITS line of radio installation kits is manufactured from OEM-quality ABS plastic with exacting tolerances, ensuring a seamless fit against factory dash contours with no gaps or misalignment. With coverage spanning an enormous range of makes, models, and model years, Metra makes dash kits for more vehicle applications than any other manufacturer in the world.

Beyond the dash kit, Metra's product ecosystem covers every aspect of a clean, professional car audio installation. Their radio module interfaces allow aftermarket head units to communicate with a vehicle's factory systems — preserving steering wheel controls, safety chimes, and factory amplifiers that would otherwise be lost during an upgrade. Meanwhile, speaker brackets provide vehicle-specific mounting solutions so aftermarket speakers drop in cleanly without cutting, drilling, or improvising.

Metra has also expanded its lineup to support more specialized installation needs. Multi-purpose switch panel kits are a great example — purpose-built solutions for Jeep and off-road vehicles that bring organized, factory-style switch integration to custom builds. And rounding out the electrical side of a full installation, Metra offers batteries through its Shuriken high-performance battery line, covering everything from motorcycles and marine craft to competition audio systems that demand reliable, high-output power.

A Brand Ecosystem Built for Installers

Metra Electronics is more than a single brand — it is a family of 12-volt focused brands including Axxess, T-SPEC, The Install Bay, iBeam, Shuriken, Raptor, and Metra Marine, among others. This makes Metra a true one-stop resource for installers outfitting any type of vehicle, from daily drivers and trucks to powersports, marine, and off-road machines. The company maintains warehouses across the United States and backs its products with award-winning engineering and numerous patents for innovative installation solutions.
