Car Tech Retrofits & Upgrades.
Tech retrofits done badly are obvious — patched wiring, dangling cables, modules that fight with the car's CAN bus. We do them properly: OEM-quality parts where possible, hidden wiring, and full module coding so the car sees the new kit as factory.

Frequently asked
Common questions, plain answers.
01Can you fit a reverse camera to a car that didn't come with one?
On most modern cars, yes. We use OEM-quality cameras and wire them properly into the reverse-light circuit and head-unit input. The result looks and behaves like a factory-fit — not a stuck-on aftermarket unit.
02Will adding wireless CarPlay break my car's existing infotainment?
When done with the right adapter and coded correctly — no. Steering controls, voice control and existing audio sources keep working. We avoid cheap dongles that drop connection or freeze the head unit.
03Why hardwire a dash cam instead of using the cigarette lighter?
Hardwired installs are tidier (no dangling cables), they support parking mode (the camera records when the car is locked), and they use a low-voltage cut-off so they don't drain the battery flat over a long stop.
04How long do retrofits take?
Reverse camera or wireless CarPlay is usually a half-day to one-day job. A multi-camera dash cam install with parking mode is typically same-day. Exact timing comes with the quote.
