Android head unit retrofit

Sheet: MCC-AND-01
Scale: NTS

What actually goes behind the dash so a touchscreen behaves like the factory system.

Android head unit: Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB, screen mirroring and apps on a proper capacitive screen.

Reversible by design

Plug-in looms and vehicle-specific fascias mean the original unit can go back in with no cut wires.

The interface box matters

It is what keeps steering controls, chimes, reverse and climate display working after the swap.

Power done properly

Correct switched and permanent feeds with fusing — no parasitic drain, no waking up to a flat battery.

Fitted, not just supplied

Coded, level-matched and tested with your phone before handover, mobile across the West Midlands.

Overview

A good retrofit is mostly about what you cannot see: the right fascia, a vehicle-specific loom and a CAN interface box so the car keeps its chimes, reverse trigger, steering controls and amplified audio. We fit the screen you want, wire the power properly and hand the car back tested with your own phone paired — fully reversible to standard.

Frequently asked questions

Will my steering wheel buttons still work?

Yes. A vehicle-specific CAN interface box maps volume, track, phone and voice buttons to the new unit, so your original controls keep working exactly as before.

Do you cut any factory wiring?

No. We use plug-in looms and a vehicle-specific fascia, so the original head unit can be refitted later with nothing cut or spliced.

Does it support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto?

The units we fit run wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus DAB radio, Bluetooth calling, screen mirroring and Play Store apps.

Can you keep my factory amplifier and reversing camera?

Yes. Amplified systems keep their amp with output levels matched, and existing cameras are wired in so the picture appears the second you select reverse.

Will it drain my battery?

Not when it is wired properly. Permanent and switched feeds are fused correctly, which is the usual cause of flat batteries after a cheap fit.

Where do you fit them?

Mobile at your home or work across Wolverhampton and the West Midlands, or at the workshop if you prefer to drop the car in.
