Aux Port – 1999 Honda Accord

This student came to us with a factory Honda radio that had no way for them to get audio from their smart phone or music player into the car. The parts list was short for this build and we were able to get them the capabilities they needed within the budget they had allocated.

The tape deck and CD player was not cutting it for this customer. We suggested some OEM integration options but they decided they wanted a totally new look and decided to go with a double DIN format receiver as the solution to their problem.

It was a a fairly straightforward solution for us given we have so many installation parts in stock and we were able to take care of this customer the same day.

The owner of this Accent spends a lot of time in the car and the variety of music that they listen to required some serious changes. When we first heard the car, we knew right off that new speakers were needed but the owner couldn’t believe just how bad they were. A non-mechanism Bluetooth receiver hit the spot for his listening preferences (Spotify) and is ready for the next stage of upgrades (amplifier and subwoofer).

While the install was in progress, we spent some time listening to some amplifier and subwoofer options. We found that he also had issues with sound quality because of his source device. The same music when played from one of our smart phones had better signal quality.

Lexus installations can sometimes be tricky but we were prepared for this one. We were told by Lexus that there was only one radio interface that was verified to work for this project and we ordered the appropriate parts. However, when installed, the “correct” part sounded horrible and didn’t work well, so we had to come up with another solution.

We found that we were able to adapt another radio interface (that was not listed as compatible for this car by the manufacturer) and it got the factory amplifier and speakers to work correctly as well as enabling all the new features of the DVD in-dash receiver including the Bluetooth function for phone calls and streaming music.

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 [...]

The owner of this Ford Ranger came to us wanting to replace the standard Ford radio with a smaller and more up to date receiver. He also had a request to be able to install and integrate a radio transmitter (as he is a licensed radio operator). Having done many similar radios in the past, we knew we could give him a great result.

Our technician modified a standard installation kit to provide a nice appearance and sturdy mount for his transceiver. Then we installed the CD receiver with Bluetooth and routed the antenna appropriately for the transmitter. Once completed, we waited for the owner to power up and test the radio and he was very satisfied with our custom integration for him!

A previous customer came back by with his 1989 BMW 3 series that had an inoperative radio. We determined that it indeed had reached the end of its life and installed a new CD receiver.

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.

This is not your average Corvette. The folks at RPM Motorsports have tinkered with the engine bay and the owner brought it to us to update the vehicle information and entertainment system.

The obvious choice to make sure this Corvette’s driver can execute a fast getaway with all that extra turbocharged horsepower, was to make sure that he had an accurate navigator at all times – hence selecting a touchscreen GPS receiver to replace the factory radio.

This customer came to us wanting to upgrade the audio system in their husband’s Camaro as a surprise birthday present! We discussed a few options and arrived at the conclusion of needing smartphone connectivity to stream Bluetooth from an iPhone and replacing some very worn out speakers.

*Note: The before photo is the actual speaker removed from the car. If you have any doubt about your speakers’ health, come see us and let us check them before they get this bad! Many people don’t realize in how poor condition their old speakers are because they are hidden.
