FAQ
How much does head unit installation cost?
Head unit installation only starts from $199 for simple single-DIN or double-DIN replacement. More complex installations requiring custom fascia kits, steering wheel control interfaces, or climate control retention will incur additional material costs.
The head unit itself varies in price. We provide all-inclusive quotes covering the unit, installation, and any required adapters or interfaces.
Will I lose any factory features?
No, not with professional installation. We use vehicle-specific integration modules to retain steering wheel controls, parking sensors, climate control displays, and other factory features. Some vehicles require additional interface modules to maintain full functionality, which we'll identify during the quote. The only feature that typically can't be retained is integrated factory navigation, but aftermarket systems provide superior navigation alternatives.
Can you install a head unit in my older vehicle?
Yes, absolutely. Older vehicles are often easier to upgrade than newer ones. We can install modern head units in virtually any vehicle. Classic cars may require custom fabrication for mounting, but this is something we regularly do. Older vehicles also benefit the most from upgrades, gaining features like Bluetooth, USB charging, and smartphone integration they never had originally.
Do I need to buy the head unit first?
Not necessarily. Our team can supply and install the head unit for you. with a deposit. We work with all major brands and can recommend options based on your budget and desired features. If you've already purchased a unit, we're happy to install it - just let us know the make and model so we can order the correct installation kit. Buying through us often means better pricing on quality units and ensures we have the right parts for installation.
How long does installation take?
Most head unit installations take 2-4 hours depending on vehicle complexity. Simple replacements in older cars might only take 1.5-2 hours. European vehicles or cars with integrated climate controls often take 3-4 hours due to additional wiring and programming required. We'll give you an accurate time estimate based on your specific vehicle when we provide your quote. You're welcome to wait or we can arrange a courtesy car.
What's the difference between single-DIN and double-DIN?
DIN refers to the standard size for head units. Single-DIN units are smaller (180mm x 50mm) with smaller screens or no screen. Double-DIN units are twice the height (180mm x 100mm) and typically feature larger touchscreens. Your vehicle has a specific DIN size opening in the dashboard. Some vehicles can be modified to accept either size using custom mounting kits. We'll identify what fits your vehicle and recommend the best options during consultation.
Can I add Apple CarPlay/Android Auto to my car?
Yes, any vehicle can have CarPlay and Android Auto added by installing a compatible aftermarket head unit. Most modern head units include both as standard features. Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto is available on mid-range and premium units. We can demonstrate the features and help you choose the right unit.
Will the new head unit work with my existing speakers and amplifier?
Yes, aftermarket head units work with your existing speakers and amplifiers. Modern head units typically have higher-quality built-in amplifiers than factory units, so you'll likely notice improved sound quality even without changing speakers. If you have a factory amplified system, we'll use the appropriate integration module to ensure proper signal levels and compatibility. Aftermarket head units also have pre-amp outputs for connecting aftermarket amplifiers if you want to upgrade your sound system further.
