Will I lose my factory reverse camera or parking sensors?

No. Retaining the factory camera and sensor chimes is part of every quote we give. If your vehicle does not have a camera yet, we can add one during the same visit.

Does the upgrade void my warranty?

A properly installed interface does not affect your powertrain warranty. We use non destructive wiring so the vehicle can be returned to stock if you sell it.

How long does the appointment take?

Most CarPlay installs take between two and five hours depending on how much of the dash has to come apart. We will give you a realistic window when you book.

What the upgrade actually gives you

Once CarPlay or Android Auto is running, your dash becomes an extension of your phone. Maps come up full screen with live traffic, messages get read out loud, and Spotify, Apple Music or podcasts are one tap away. Everything runs through the vehicle speakers, so calls stay clear and your hands stay on the wheel. If your car came with a screen from the factory, we work with it wherever possible so the cabin still looks exactly the way the manufacturer intended.

How we do it without butchering your dash

We never cut factory harnesses. Every install uses vehicle specific plug and play interfaces, soldered and heat shrunk connections where a splice is unavoidable, and proper loom to keep everything quiet over Ottawa winter roads. Panels come off with trim tools, clips get replaced if they are brittle, and the car is reassembled to the same torque and fit it left the factory with.

Wireless or wired, and which one suits you

Wireless is the favourite for short trips and daily commuting because the phone connects the moment you start the car. Wired holds a slightly more stable connection for long highway drives and keeps the phone charging the whole time. Most of the systems we fit support both, so you can pick per trip. We will walk you through the difference before we order anything.

Vehicles we cover

We handle domestic, Japanese and European vehicles, from a work truck with a basic radio through to a late model Mercedes-Benz or Porsche with a locked down infotainment stack. Older cars usually get a purpose built head unit, newer cars usually get an integration module hidden behind the dash. Send us your year, make, model and trim and we will confirm the exact path.
