Upgrade Details:

The factory radio in this vehicle was definitely starting to show its age—no Bluetooth streaming, a slow, non-touch display, and generally outdated tech that couldn’t keep up with today’s needs.

Using an Aerpro integration kit, we installed a brand-new touchscreen head unit that fits seamlessly into the dash. We also kept all the original steering wheel controls and dual-zone climate functions intact. The HVAC system is now operated through refreshed buttons and a sleek digital display, giving the interior a much cleaner and more modern look.
