Owners of popular car brands such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Jaguar etc. are finding that despite smartphone technology improving each year, the media systems in their cars are struggling to keep pace, forcing them to use phone holders or worse looking directly at a mobile device for navigation directions and music, leaving them at risk of penalties and points on their driving license.

Many of these owners are very attached to their existing cars, and in the current climate, with new cars increasing in price coupled with long waiting times and reduced choice, it seems to make a lot of financial sense to stick with an existing vehicle.

Perhaps you are very happy with your current vehicle, but frustrated with outdated or missing navigation, or unable to stream your favourite music on those long road trips…

What is the best solution?

Unique Auto Developments, a UK based company, offer a retrofit solution, that allows integration of the latest Smartphone integration technologies, specifically Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with factory fitted car entertainment systems. This means that you are able to use the latest smartphone technology in your existing vehicle, without spoiling the original appearance of the interior and dashboard. Additionally, navigation and music is totally powered by the apps on your smartphone, so expensive map updates and clunky user experiences become a thing of the past.

Control is very intuitive, If your vehicle has a factory fit touch screen, you can control Apple CarPlay or Android Auto through this, and in other cases, steering or panel controls are supported. When this product is fitted, all of your original car display screens are still easy accessible with the press of a button.
