WHY CHOOSE APPLE CARPLAY / ANDROID AUTO ?

  • Seamless Integration

With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your car becomes an extension of your smartphone, allowing you to effortlessly access your favourite navigation apps such as Waze, your music and your messages. 

  • Increased Safety

Through the use of Voice Commands and by displaying necessary or useful driving apps on your car's infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto minimize the need to pickup your phone whilst driving, ensuring you stay focused on the road

  • Enhanced Entertainment

Stream your favourite music, podcasts and audiobooks from Spotify, Apple Music or any other app of your choice, making them long journeys feel shorter with the extra entertainment options at your fingertips.

SO, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS ?

There are 3 ways in which we can integrate Apple CarPlay / Android Auto to your vehicle.

1 - Android Screen Upgrades

Upgrade your car's small, outdated screen with one of our Larger Android Screens. Don't be fooled by the name, these are compatible with both Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Our screens benefit from having larger displays, touchscreen capabilities and allow you to download apps to the screen. It's just like having a tablet in the car with the added benefit of keeping your original systems intact and accessible at the click of a button.

2 - CarPlay / Android Auto Interface Module

Our interface modules are installed in a hidden location and allow you to access Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from your car's original screen. These are a more cost effective solution and retain an 'OEM' look. They even have the added ability to screen mirror your iPhone to the display.

3 - Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Activation (usually only available on vehicles +2016)

This is an option for those with newer vehicles that already have the software for Apple CarPlay / Android Auto but it is not activated. Usually on V.A.G vehicles you will see a message for App Connect or Full Link needing an activation key and can be done on majority of BMW's 2017-onwards (BMW CarPlay only). With our specialist tools we can activate these features without an expensive trip to the dealers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will I lose my original menus and functions with one of your Android Screens or CarPlay interface modules ?

No, you will not lose your original functions and menus, such as service history, with one of our retrofits. These can be accessed at any time by simply exiting the CarPlay / Android Auto interface side.

Is the connection to CarPlay / Android Auto wireless ?

Yes, once you have paired your phone to the retrofit device, there is no need to plug your phone in to access them. However, please ensure your mobile phone is compatible with Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto. If it is not then you can plug it into the provided additional USB to use the features through a wired connection.

Can I install an Anroid Screen or CarPlay interface module myself ?

Yes, you can do, although we highly recommend taking advantage of our professional installation service in Rochdale, Greater Manchester to ensure everything is installed and set-up correctly.

Will my factory reverse camera / parking sensors still display ?

Yes, your factory reverse camera and parking sensors will display as normal. If your car doesn't have a reverse camera we may be able to add one alongside one of our retrofits for an additional cost.

Will the CarPlay interface module make my current screen touchscreen ?

If your current screen is already touchscreen, it will function as it should, however this retrofit won't make a non touchscreen into one.
