Metra PowerSports Introduces New Whip Antennas with RGB and Single Color Lights at 2018 CES
Holly Hill, FL - January, 2018 – Metra PowerSports® is introducing twenty new whip antennas to their product line at CES booth #5211. These lighted safety whips provide visibility when heading off-road, alerting other drivers with a brightly lit antenna and orange flag. The whip antennas have a universal base that is detachable for easy storage, designed for ATVs, UTVs, dune buggies, quads, side-by-sides, go-karts and other powersports applications. Options are available for RGB or single colors, with fiber optic or LED whip antennas in four foot or six foot lengths. Designed for dust, mud and the rough use of off-road applications, all of the whip antennas are bendable and have a virtually unbreakable, weather-resistant polycarbonate cover. An orange safety flag is included.
Built-in Controller or MPS Control Box Options for RGB Whips
Both the fiber optic (MPS-CFORGBWHIP4-1, MPS-CFORGBWHIP6-1) and LED (MPS-CRGBWHIP4-1, MPS-CRGBWHIP6-1) whip antennas are available with a built-in controller. Additional fiber optic and LED whip antennas without the built-in controller are available to be used with the Metra PowerSports RGB Control Box (MPS-RGBC-4), which is sold separately. The MPS-RGBWHIP4-1, MPS-RGBWHIP6-1, MPS-FORGBWHIP4-1 and MPS-FORGBWHIP6-1 antennas plug directly into the waterproof Metra PowerSports RGB Control Box, which provides power and allows the multi-colored RGB lights to be controlled from a free smartphone app. The MPS RGB smartphone app allows the user to choose from unlimited color options to customize their whip antenna from the palm of their hand. Users can choose from 10 speeds and 20 dynamic modes, and can even flash the LED lights to music via the smartphone’s Bluetooth® feature.
Single Color Whips
Both the LED and fiber optic whip antennas are also available in single colors, for blue, green, orange, pink, red and white. These options are available in four or six foot lengths.
Expanding the Metra PowerSports Line
