Car stereo installation, done cleanly.

A new stereo should look like it belongs in your dash and work like it came from the factory. That comes from the right adapters, careful wiring and patience.

What a proper installation includes

  • Vehicle-specific dash kitFills the opening so the new stereo sits flush with your trim.
  • Wiring harnessConnects to the factory plug so we do not cut your vehicle wiring.
  • Antenna and camera adaptersKeeps radio reception and adds backup camera or other inputs where needed.
  • Steering wheel control interfaceLets your factory buttons keep working when the vehicle supports it.
  • TestingWe check sound, Bluetooth, camera input and controls before the vehicle leaves.

Choosing a stereo

A single-DIN stereo is the shorter, traditional radio shape. A double-DIN stereo has room for a large touchscreen. Some dashboards also fit floating-screen receivers that give you a bigger display. What fits depends on the vehicle.

If you are comparing receivers, the features most people care about are Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth calling and streaming, a backup camera input, and preamp outputs if you plan to add an amplifier later.

Older vehicles and special cases

Many older vehicles can be updated to modern Bluetooth and touchscreen stereos. Some newer vehicles tie climate, safety chimes or the factory display into the radio, which calls for extra interface hardware. Every vehicle is different, so we confirm what fits your exact year, make and model when you request a quote.
