For install shops & retrofitters

CarPlay Retrofit Modules for Installation & Repair Shops

Quote every bay job with confidence: photo-based fitment confirmation within 12 hours, plug-and-play harnesses that keep bay time short, and mixed stock orders from 10 pcs (mixed models OK).

Who This Is For

Car audio shops

Audio & Retrofit Shops

You fit modules on whatever books into the bay — mostly German cars, occasionally a marque you have not seen before. Your bottleneck is not price, it is knowing the module fits before you quote the job.

Repair garages

Independent & Dealer-Service Garages

Customers ask for CarPlay at the service counter. A plug-and-play module that keeps the factory screen lets you sell the upgrade without becoming a dashboard-surgery shop.

Mobile installers

Mobile Installers

You work alone at the customer's driveway, so a wrong part number is a wasted day. Written fitment confirmation before you order is the whole difference.

What the Program Gives Your Bay

01

Fit before you quote

Ask the customer for a photo of the powered-on main menu and one of the control knob. Send both on WhatsApp — our engineers confirm the exact module within 12 hours, free.

02

Bay time stays short

Plug-and-play harness, no wire cutting. Every module ships with a printed manual and a step-by-step video guide, so the install does not depend on tribal knowledge.

03

Everything on the factory screen

Wired & wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Huawei HiCar and screen mirroring — with the factory screen, controller, steering-wheel buttons and reversing camera fully retained.

04

One order covers the booking sheet

Mix CIC, NBT and EVO, NTG generations, MMI, MIB and PCM inside one order from 10 pcs (mixed models OK) — a single shipment covers whatever books in next week.

05

A demo that actually works

Sample orders ship in 7–15 days (DHL/FedEx express), so a working demo module sits on your counter and sells the upgrade while you quote the next job.

06

An engineer, not a script

The WhatsApp line goes to the team that built the firmware — including after the 12-month warranty ends. A scripted support desk is useless mid-install.

From First Job to Standing Supply

01

Photo the head unit

Powered-on main menu plus the control knob. Two photos are enough for a generation-level identification.

02

Written confirmation

Within 12 hours: the exact module, in writing, with a flag if the car is not supported.

03

Order mixed stock

From 10 pcs (mixed models OK), mixed generations welcome — order per job or hold a small shelf.

04

Stock ships in 7–15 days

DHL/FedEx express to the workshop, with manual and video guide in every box.

05

Install with backup

Follow the video guide; if anything behaves oddly mid-install, the engineer is on WhatsApp.

06

Warranty straight from the factory

12-month replacement-based warranty handled by us, so a faulty module never turns into a customer argument in your workshop.

FAQ

Install Shop FAQ

What runs inside the module — and does it change the dashboard?

Embedded Linux on a Sunplus automotive chipset, pairing with the phone over dual-band 5 GHz WiFi. Installation is plug-and-play with no wire cutting — the factory screen, controller and steering-wheel buttons are fully retained.

How do I identify the right module for a car?

Photo the powered-on main menu and the control knob, send both via WhatsApp or the contact form, and our engineers confirm the exact module within 12 hours — free, in writing.

What if a car is not supported?

We tell you rather than ship a guess. Coverage spans 300+ vehicle models and series across the 2006–2025 model years, and anything outside that range gets a written no, not a hopeful maybe.

Does the install require cutting wires?

No. Every module uses a plug-and-play harness — the factory screen, controller, steering-wheel buttons and reversing camera are retained.

Can I order one module per job?

Yes. Stock orders start from 10 pcs (mixed models OK) and can mix generations, so per-job ordering works. Shops usually move to holding a small mixed shelf once volume picks up.

How does the warranty work in practice?

A 12-month replacement-based warranty handled directly by the factory: a faulty module is replaced, firmware updates are included, and the engineers stay reachable on WhatsApp.

Do you provide customer-facing materials?

Every module ships with a printed manual and access to a step-by-step video guide, which doubles as the customer explanation when they collect the car.
