RADIO • CARPLAY • ANDROID AUTO • OEM INTEGRATION
Want CarPlay without losing the stuff in the vehicle that already works?
Sometimes the right answer is a new radio. Sometimes the factory screen and controls need to stay and the new audio system gets integrated after them. These are real SMS builds showing both paths—source upgrades, retained cameras and steering-wheel controls, and factory systems feeding aftermarket amplifiers and DSP.
REAL SOURCE & INTEGRATION WORK
Change the radio when it makes sense. Keep it when the vehicle is better off with it.
The goal is not to replace factory electronics just because aftermarket parts exist. We look at the functions that have to stay, the signal the audio system needs, and what the customer actually wants to gain.
