Factory Radio Upgrade in Hillcrest

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.

Hillcrest drivers, an 18-minute drive down the I-5 to our shop on Palm Avenue. Daily drivers, hybrids, and EVs welcome.

Hillcrest's vehicle mix runs heavy on hybrids, EVs, and compact daily drivers, and we've installed audio in plenty of them. Take the I-5 south from University Avenue, exit Palm, and you're at the shop in about 18 minutes. Common Hillcrest installs include factory-look CarPlay and Android Auto retrofits for older Priuses and Civics, low-profile dashcams hardwired to the fuse box for clean appearance, alarm systems for cars that park on the street near University and Washington, component speaker upgrades for music quality, and slim subwoofers sized to fit hatchback cargo areas without losing space. We also work on EV-specific installs where 12V power tap points and door panels need extra care to avoid warranty issues.
