Factory Radio Upgrade for Carlsbad
What's included.
Want to keep your factory radio? We upgrade it in place. Add wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth audio streaming, USB-C charging, backup-camera input, dual dashcam input, and even satellite radio to many factory head units, without changing how the dashboard looks. The integration modules we use plug between the factory radio and the rest of the vehicle's harness, intercept audio and video signals, and inject the upgraded features through the existing factory display. The result: OEM appearance, modern features. Supported vehicles include most 2010+ Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura, Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and many GM and Ford trucks and SUVs. Some older vehicles can be upgraded with simpler Bluetooth-and-USB-only modules. The install is fully reversible: every connection uses an OEM-style T-harness adapter, factory wiring stays untouched, and the original radio can be reinstalled at any time with the factory warranty intact. Common factory-radio upgrades take 1 to 3 hours. Lifetime workmanship warranty on the integration module install.
