The 2026 SEMA Show runs November 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and mobile electronics will have a substantial presence. SEMA says more than 100 brands are set to exhibit in its dedicated Mobile Electronics section. For drivers and enthusiasts, that means a close look at the next wave of car audio, connected vehicle technology, cameras, security equipment, and installation solutions.

Car audio remains a major part of SEMA
SEMA has identified KICKER, Metra Electronics, Rockford Fosgate, Stinger, and other established names among the brands anchoring the mobile electronics section. The show’s New Products Showcase will offer another place to spot upcoming equipment and ideas. A display at SEMA, however, does not by itself mean a product is shipping to customers. We’ll check individual manufacturer announcements for prices, fitment, and availability as they arrive. Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)
Alpine plans marine, truck, and UTV demonstrations
Alpine has announced that it will exhibit in North Hall booth 10373. Its planned display includes its 2026 marine audio lineup, a Ford F-150 TSport Alpine Edition, and a Can-Am Maverick fitted with Alpine powersports audio and lighting. The marine display is expected to include speakers with integrated RGB lighting, along with amplifiers, subwoofers, and source units. These are announced show plans, with any new purchase or shipping details to be confirmed separately. ceoutlook.com
Those vehicles should help show what the equipment looks and sounds like as part of a complete build. For a truck owner, the question may be how an audio upgrade fits into the vehicle they already drive. For boaters and UTV owners, durability, usable power, and clear sound outdoors matter as much as appearance.
What will we be watching?
At 12 Volt Outlet, we’ll be watching for product details that help customers make an informed choice: supported vehicles, installation requirements, real power ratings, weather protection where applicable, pricing, and confirmed availability. SEMA is a preview of what brands are working on; the useful follow-up is knowing which products are ready for a customer’s next build.
The show is primarily for the trade. SEMA says the general public can access the show floor on Friday, November 6, through its Friday public admission program.
