CarPlay + RADAR + LIDAR – Toyota Highlander

This client is very particular about his installations. He came to North Carolina from California (the land of car audio) so his expectations were high. In his eyes, Radio-Active was the obvious shop for the job when he was doing his research.

We ended up doing 3 projects total:
Project #1: CarPlay receiver integration and backup camera
Project #2: LIDAR laser speed detection
Project #3: Custom RADAR detector mounting (not shown)

This customer wanted to his truck to have the ability to use both CarPlay and Android Auto since he uses both Apple and Android platforms. He went to other car audio shops and they all told him it wasn’t possible.

Well, we were able to think creatively and made it happen! We were even able to retain the Microsoft Sync and the factory USB port in the center console for him and use the factory SiriusXM antenna. He left with everything working exactly as he had visioned.

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 came to us with their Scion FR-S. His first issue was poor radio reception and we made some suggestions for him to solve that problem in a cost effective manner. As a result of our suggestion, we earned their business to integrate an Apple CarPlay / Android Auto receiver into his vehicle.

So now the customer has a smartphone connected car and a well integrated solution, including strategic placement of the Bluetooth microphone.
