Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Head Unit Replacement Upgrade

A head unit replacement means swapping out your car’s factory stereo system (the “head unit” in the dashboard) with an aftermarket one. The new unit can add modern features your car didn’t originally come with—like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, better sound quality, larger touchscreens, and advanced navigation.

It’s doable in most vehicles, but it depends on:

Dashboard compatibility – Some cars have standard stereo sizes (Single DIN or Double DIN), making replacement straightforward. Others with integrated screens or climate controls may need custom kits or adapters.
Wiring and integration – Steering wheel controls, reverse cameras, parking sensors, or factory amplifiers often require additional modules to keep everything working.

In short: A head unit replacement is possible in most cars and is the best way to modernize your infotainment system, but the feasibility depends on your vehicle’s design.

Vehicles That Allow Head Unit Replacement

Some vehicles allow the factory head unit to be safely replaced without affecting essential vehicle functions. In these cases, a full head unit upgrade is often the best solution, offering improved performance, modern features, and a fully refreshed infotainment experience.

For these vehicles, we install high-quality aftermarket head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, tailored to integrate cleanly with the vehicle’s interior.
