Upgrade Details:

The customer wanted to upgrade the radio to add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while still retaining the factory reverse camera. They weren’t happy with the small, low-quality factory screen, so a better solution was needed.

We installed a 10-inch touchscreen display, which makes it much easier to navigate menus and unlock additional features. The new screen is designed to work seamlessly with the factory buttons—when you press them, the original system displays; but the moment you touch the screen, it switches over to the modern touchscreen interface.

The radio fits perfectly into the dash, looking like it was factory-fitted from day one. And by retaining the reverse camera with its factory dynamic guidelines, the car now feels much more modern and user-friendly without losing any original functionality.
