Android Auto – 2013 Chevrolet Camaro

This customer called us originally about installing a GM MyLink. We reviewed all the necessary components for it and then demonstrated some aftermarket solutions. He was impressed with the functions of newer receivers capable of Android Auto, a feature that would not be available with a MyLink retrofit.

Once he decided on the style of dash replacement (there are two) and opting for a more tactile dash / HVAC panel as opposed to the touchscreen, we were able to perform an integration for him that exceeded his expectations. Android devices can be a little finicky but we spent time with him after the installation to make sure that all the controls and options were working to his complete satisfaction.

This customer has made two visits in the past year. The first was to replace the front factory speakers that offered low sound quality and clarity.

The second visit was to deal with the rear speakers (after being spoiled with by the superior sound of the fronts). We provided them two options for this visit: coaxial and component. The factory door panel has a place for them but this particular car’s sound package did not come with them. As such, we were able to integrate component speakers without modifying the existing door panel.

We anticipate a third visit in the near future to add an aftermarket amplifier, as the speakers are “barely breathing” at full volume with the factory radio.

This customer came to us with a very sad Mazda. They did not have music for a number of months. Having worked on a few of these, we were quickly able to diagnose their problem as a malfunctioning factory amplifier.

We provided them the option of replacing with a factory amplifier or to upgrade to a more powerful aftermarket amplifier and they chose the aftermarket amp.

We were able to provide them with a very clean signal from their OEM receiver and absolutely no additional noise. This provided them with a system that would be capable of being upgraded at a later date with aftermarket speakers and a subwoofer to provide enhanced clarity and power handling.

The big bonus for them was the longer warranty period of our aftermarket equipment over a factory amplifier.

This referral from a prior customer stopped by with his beautiful motorcycle and needed some help with a non-functional radio. It had been months since it had worked and he was headed out of town with his motorcycle club for a motorcycle rally in Florida and wanted to have music for the trip down. He figured the original motorcycle radio had some minor wiring issue and that was why it wasn’t working. He left us the motorcycle to troubleshoot early in the afternoon. We found the radio was bad (it had a refurbished unit tag on it) and we had to quickly come up with a plan so he could make his trip in time.

We decided together that upgrading all the speakers (since they were original) as well as the receiver (opting to not retain the factory intercom functions) would meet all of his needs and that adding an amplifier for the speakers [...]

What was supposed to be a BMW Certified Pre-Owned car slipped past the BMW mechanics that checked this very special 135i over (it has a Dual Clutch Transmission for you gear heads and not a common option for these cars). Their inspection neglected to reveal a very obviously placed aftermarket amplifier with very sketchy wiring installation which was apparently done by the previous owner.

The new owner came to us because of lack of audio. It turned out that the aftermarket amplifier was no longer functional and warranty/repair was not an option. We temporarily wired the car back to factory to get him going for the day and put together a plan to correctly implement the audio improvements that needed to be made. We decided that a modest 5 channel amplifier and proper automotive grade wiring would do the trick along with appropriate OEM integration pieces for the scope of his project. We also found that the high-end replacement tweeters were marginal and [...]
