Holly Hill, FL – December 30, 2019 – Metra Electronics®, the leading manufacturer of aftermarket automotive solutions, is excited to announce two new universal replacement rearview mirror monitors from iBEAM Vehicle Safety Systems® launching at CES. An OE-style auto-dimming mirror with a 4.3” built-in screen and a full 9” touchscreen live streaming mirror monitor and camera kit will be on display and available soon. These new solutions provide drivers with the ability to upgrade to better technology with quality aftermarket safety products.

iBEAM’s OE style auto-dimming mirror with a 4.3” built-in monitor (TE-AD43) reduces the glare on a bright sunny day or from headlights at night. The mirror automatically adjusts the mirror and monitor screen based on the lighting environment to allow the driver a visual that’s easier to see in any lighting condition. Sensors on the front and rear of the mirror adjust the brightness of the mirror and the monitor as they detect weak or strong light sources from headlights, oncoming traffic or sunlight. The mirror has two video inputs for a backup camera and an additional camera view, controlled with a reverse trigger. An optional setting for parking lines can be adjusted in distance and pitch from the mirror itself or the included remote. The TE-AD43 can be paired with any of iBEAM’s universal cameras for a complete solution.

TE-AD43 Product Specifications:

• Automatic brightness adjustment for mirror and monitor
• OE style auto-dimming mirror
• 4.3" LCD monitor
• 2 video inputs                                                
• Reverse trigger input

Drivers can remove obstructions to see the rear and front view of the vehicle in real-time with iBEAM’s touchscreen mirror and camera kit (TE-SM9). This large 9” color LCD touchscreen mirror features no lag with 1080p resolution at 30fps for the rear and front cameras. A built-in dual-channel DVR captures the front and rear video feeds simultaneously to prevent liability in case of an accident and has a G-sensor to prevent video from being overwritten.

This camera system includes ADAS features built into the mirror monitor touchscreen. The split screen mode shows a visual of both front and rear views, with optional lane detection watch and forward collision warnings for the driver with audible alerts. The camera can also capture still photos and be used in parking mode for additional surveillance. Settings are adjusted through the mirror’s touchscreen.
