We Don’t Just Fit Stereos. We Integrate Them.
A cheap stereo installation can leave you with lost controls, missing cameras, warning issues or poor sound. Our goal is to make your upgrade feel like it belongs in the vehicle from factory.
Steering Wheel Controls
Keep volume, track, phone and voice control buttons working with the correct vehicle interface.
Reverse Camera Retention
Many factory cameras can be retained and displayed on your new Apple CarPlay or Android Auto screen.
Factory Amplifiers
Premium factory sound systems often need special integration so the new head unit works correctly.
Vehicle-Specific Facias
We use the correct facia kits where available so the upgrade looks neat, clean and factory-style.
Apple CarPlay
Upgrade to wired or wireless Apple CarPlay for maps, music, calls, messages and voice control.

Factory Integration FAQs
These are the questions customers usually ask before upgrading to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Can I keep my factory reverse camera?
In many vehicles, yes. Factory reverse camera retention depends on the vehicle, the original stereo system and the available integration parts.
Will my steering wheel controls still work?
Most vehicles can retain steering wheel controls with the correct interface. We check this before recommending the final installation parts.
Can you integrate with factory amplifiers?
Yes, many factory amplified systems can be integrated, but they usually require specific interfaces or a different installation approach.
Can I add Apple CarPlay to my existing vehicle?
Yes. We offer wired and wireless Apple CarPlay head unit upgrades using selected Aerpro and Sony models.
Will the new stereo look factory?
Where available, we use vehicle-specific facias and installation parts to achieve a clean, factory-style finish.
Do I need to supply parts?
No. Garage Audio can supply the head unit, facia, wiring harness, steering wheel control interface, camera retention parts and installation.
