Add A Reverse Camera
Most customers upgrading to Apple CarPlay also add a reverse camera. It gives you safer reversing, easier parking and a more complete factory-style upgrade.
Professional Installation Matters
A head unit upgrade is not just about plugging in a screen. The right installation keeps the vehicle neat, reliable and easy to use.
Steering Controls
We aim to retain steering wheel buttons where suitable parts and interfaces are available.
Factory Finish
Dash kits, facias, wiring and integration parts are used to keep the install looking clean.
Camera Integration
Factory reverse cameras can often be retained, or we can install a new camera as part of the upgrade.
Correct Wiring
No messy shortcuts. Clean wiring and the right interfaces matter for long-term reliability.
