Can your CarPlay support both Apple and Android phones?

Yes, many of our CarPlay-enabled head units offer support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing users with either an iPhone or an Android phone to enjoy seamless integration with their car's infotainment system. This ensures that regardless of the type of smartphone you have, you can still benefit from the convenience and features offered by CarPlay technology.

Why should I upgrade my car's head unit?

Upgrading your car's head unit can significantly improve your in-car entertainment experience. Newer units offer advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and music streaming, better sound quality, enhanced compatibility with smartphones and other devices, and updated navigation systems.

What does higher RAM mean, and why is it important for my car head unit?

Higher RAM in a car head unit allows you to run multiple apps simultaneously without experiencing lag or slowdowns. This means you can switch between navigation, music streaming, and other apps smoothly, enhancing your overall in-car experience. More RAM ensures better performance, especially when using advanced features like voice commands, navigation, and multimedia playback at the same time.

How do I choose the right head unit for my car?

We understand that selecting the right head unit can be daunting with the multitude of options available. Rest assured, our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you every step of the way. We'll help you navigate through factors such as compatibility with your car's dashboard, desired features (such as Bluetooth, navigation, etc.), sound quality considerations, and budget constraints to ensure you find the perfect head unit to meet your needs and preferences.

Can I install a head unit myself, or do I need professional installation?

While some car enthusiasts may have the skills to install a head unit themselves, it's often recommended to have it professionally installed, especially if it involves wiring or integrating with other car systems. Professional installation ensures proper fitment, wiring, and functionality, and can help avoid any potential damage to your car's electrical system.

Do you offer installation services?

Yes, we offer professional installation services for all the head units we sell. Our experienced technicians can ensure that your new head unit is installed correctly and functions properly with your car's audio system.

Do you offer warranty on your head units?

Can I install additional apps on CarPlay?

Yes, you can install additional apps on CarPlay. While our CarPlay initially offers a select set of compatible apps. Eg. google maps, messaging, waze, podcasts, youtube and more, you can also download and install additional apps from the App Store & Play Store.

Is your CarPlay compatible with virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant?

Yes, our CarPlay-compatible head units support virtual assistants such as Siri for Apple devices and Google Assistant for Android devices. These virtual assistants can be accessed through CarPlay, allowing you to perform tasks, send messages, make calls, and control various functions using voice commands while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
How can I contact customer support if I have more questions?

You can reach our customer support team by phone, email, or visiting our store during business hours. We're here to help answer any questions you have and assist with any issues you may encounter with your head unit.
