Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are smart, safe ways to use your iPhone or Android phone in your car. They allow you to access various apps directly through your vehicle's infotainment system, including navigation (Maps, Waze, Google Maps), music streaming (Spotify, Apple Music), hands-free calling, messaging, and more. This minimises distractions and keeps you connected on the road.
The interface installation involves adding a module to your existing car's infotainment system. This module acts as a bridge, allowing your car's screen and controls to display and operate Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It does not replace your existing car stereo or head unit. Our expert technicians will carefully integrate this system into your vehicle's wiring and dashboard.
At In Car Technology, we specialise in seamless and professional automotive electronic upgrades. We use reliable interface units, known for their quality and compatibility. Our trained technicians have extensive experience with a wide range of vehicles, ensuring a clean, safe, and fully functional installation that preserves your vehicle's original aesthetics and functionality.
Compatibility varies depending on your vehicle's make, model, and year, as well as its existing infotainment system. Please contact us with your vehicle's details (make, model, year, and photos of your dashboard if possible) and we can confirm compatibility. We often cover a wide range of premium and mainstream vehicles.
In most cases, a professionally installed aftermarket interface, when done correctly, should not void your vehicle's factory warranty. The installation is typically non-invasive to the core vehicle systems. However, we always recommend checking with your vehicle's manufacturer or dealership if you have specific concerns about your warranty. We are happy to discuss our installation methods with you in detail.
Installation time can vary depending on the complexity of your vehicle's system, but most installations can be completed within a few hours. We will provide you with an estimated timeframe when you book your appointment.
Absolutely! Our interface installations are designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing system. All of your car's original functions, such as radio, CD player, parking sensors, steering wheel controls, and vehicle settings, will continue to work exactly as they did before the upgrade. You will typically switch between your car's original interface and the CarPlay/Android Auto interface using a dedicated button or menu option.
Our interfaces typically support both wired and wireless connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the most stable connection and charging, a wired connection is recommended, but the convenience of wireless connectivity is also available. Please check the specific product details or ask our team for clarification regarding your chosen interface.
The total cost depends on the specific interface unit required for your vehicle and the complexity of the installation. We offer competitive pricing and will provide you with a detailed quote after assessing your vehicle's compatibility. Please contact us for a personalised quote.
