Collection — High-End Retrofits

Luxury & Exotic Car CarPlay Upgrades

Luxury and exotic retrofits are a different business from mainstream ones. The customer is not optimising on price, the installation has to be invisible, and reversibility is usually non-negotiable. Every module in this collection keeps the factory screen, controller and interior exactly as designed — the retrofit lives behind the dashboard, where nobody can see it and a future buyer cannot object to it.

How to Identify the Right Platform Before You Order

Two vehicles from the same model year can carry different head units. Match the head unit generation, not the year on the registration document.

MarqueHow to tell the generations apart
Shared platform familiesRolls-Royce shares its iDrive lineage with BMW — RO-CIC, RO-NBT and RO-EVO map onto the BMW generations. Porsche PCM 4.0–5.0 is a separate stack.
Hand-built production varianceAventador, Huracán, McLaren Sports Series and Ferrari FE-1 cars are hand-assembled, so harnesses are vehicle-specific.
Where the module physically fitsThere is no standard cavity. On these vehicles the module is dimensioned and the harness routed per platform, not per brand family.

Why Retrofit Shops Buy This Collection From One Factory

  • Airmail-grade packaging and handling

    Exotic car parts are often shipped to private garages and owners directly, so units are individually boxed and protected rather than bulk-packed.

  • Discreet labelling on request

    For dealers who install under their own brand, units can ship neutral-packed with no DIYCarPlay marking on the device, box or manual.

  • Engineer access, not a support inbox

    Your installer gets direct WhatsApp access to our engineers for live fitting questions — the failure modes on these vehicles are specific enough that a scripted support desk is useless.

FAQ

Luxury & Exotic CarPlay Retrofit FAQ

Which Luxury & Exotic brands and model years does DIYCarPlay cover?

Luxury & Exotic coverage currently spans 8 marques and 15 decoder modules for model years 2006–2024: Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Maserati, Porsche. Each module is listed with the exact factory head unit it was verified against, not just a model year, because two cars from the same year can ship different head units.

Do I need to replace the factory screen on a Ferrari?

No. The Ferrari FE-1 Wireless CarPlay Decoder connects between the factory head unit and the display, so the original screen, controller, steering-wheel buttons and OEM menu all stay in place. You switch into CarPlay and back with the factory controls — nothing is removed and nothing is coded.

Can I order one module to test before committing to a wholesale order?

Yes. Stock modules start at 10 pcs (mixed models OK), and you can mix different model numbers within a single order so one test order can cover several head unit generations. Samples ship in 3–5 days (DHL/FedEx express).

Do these modules keep the reversing camera and parking sensors?

They pass the factory camera through, and factory parking sensor display is retained. Aftermarket cameras are also supported on most modules. If a specific vehicle has a 360-degree surround-view system, send us the VIN or a photo of the factory menu and we will confirm pass-through before you order.

Is a decoder reversible — can the car be returned to factory condition?

Yes. Installation uses a vehicle-specific plug-and-play harness with no wire cutting and no coding of the OEM unit, so the module can be removed and the car returns to completely standard condition. That reversibility is the main reason dealers on high-value vehicles choose a module over an aftermarket head unit.
