Modern Phone Integration
Add CarPlay or Android Auto Without Guessing at Vehicle Compatibility
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto installation starts at $150 labor for qualifying vehicles. The final job may also need a dash kit, data interface, antenna adapter, USB retention part, or camera interface.
CarPlay and Android Auto Installation Options
Customer-Supplied Receiver
Starting at $150 labor
We install compatible equipment and identify the vehicle-specific parts still required.
Wired CarPlay / Android Auto
Product + installation quote
A strong value when connecting by USB is acceptable for daily use.
Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto
Product + installation quote
Connect compatible phones without plugging in for every trip.
Large or T-Style Screen
Starting at $1,199 installed
Vehicle-specific large-screen installations vary by radio generation and factory options.
What Can Be Retained?
Depending on the vehicle and interface, an aftermarket radio may retain steering-wheel controls, a factory backup camera, amplified audio, warning chimes, and selected USB functions. Other factory features may change or require additional modules. We confirm the exact trim and factory system because two vehicles from the same year can need different parts.
Send a dashboard photo and the vehicle identification details when trim-level features are unclear. That extra minute can prevent ordering the wrong interface.
Wired, Wireless, or Vehicle-Specific?
Wired Connection
Usually the simpler value choice. The phone connects and charges through a compatible USB cable.
Wireless Connection
Convenient for short trips, but the radio and phone must both support the feature.
Floating Screen
Creates a larger display while using a standard radio opening in compatible dashboards.
T-Style Radio
A vehicle-specific screen can integrate more of the dash but requires exact year, trim, and factory-feature matching.
Professional Installation Is More Than Plugging In a Screen
The radio must be mounted securely, wired through the correct harness or interface, configured, tested with the speakers, paired to a phone, and checked for retained controls. Microphone placement, USB location, camera behavior, and screen clearance affect daily satisfaction as much as the model printed on the box.
Radio installation starts at $120, while CarPlay and Android Auto installation starts at $150. The higher starting point reflects the additional setup and compatibility work common to these systems.

These are real products from our current catalog. The right choice still depends on your vehicle, factory system, amplifier plan, and listening goals, so we confirm compatibility before installation.

Yes. Send the exact radio model and vehicle details so we can check fitment and required adapters.

Often, but some vehicles need a camera retention adapter or voltage interface. We verify before installation.
