Upgrade Your Drive: Why Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Are Worth It
Factory stereos don’t always cut it. Whether you’re driving an older model or your current system lacks features, upgrading to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is one of the smartest, most practical improvements you can make to your car — and we make it easy.
At Refined Auto Electrical, we specialise in CarPlay and Android Auto upgrades, offering professional, tidy installations across Sunbury, Tullamarine, Thomastown, Campbellfield and greater Melbourne.
Whether you’ve already purchased your own unit or you’d like us to supply everything, we can take care of the full install — on-site, wherever you are.
What Is Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to connect your phone to your car’s head unit, giving you a smarter, safer, and more connected driving experience. With these systems, you can:
Use Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze for navigation
Make calls and send texts hands-free
Play Spotify, Apple Music, or your favourite podcast app
Access voice control through Siri or Google Assistant
Control it all through your touchscreen, steering wheel buttons or voice
Why Upgrade Your Head Unit?
Factory systems (especially in older cars) can feel outdated, clunky, or simply don’t offer the features you expect. Upgrading your head unit with a CarPlay or Android Auto-compatible system instantly improves:
Convenience – Your phone interface on your dash
Safety – Hands-free everything
Value – Adds serious functionality to your vehicle
Appearance – Sleek, modern touchscreens with clean finishes
Professional Installation, Done at Your Place
We specialise in seamless installations of CarPlay and Android Auto units across a wide range of vehicles — from work utes and family SUVs to older models needing a modern touch.
We can:
Install your own head unit (if you’ve already bought one)
Supply and install a new unit from trusted brands
Integrate with factory steering wheel controls (where compatible)
Clean up previous DIY jobs or poorly installed aftermarket units
All installations are done on-site, by a qualified auto electrician. No dealership price tags. No workshop downtime.
