WHY OURS IS DIFFERENT.
FACTORY-INTEGRATED
Aftermarket CarPlay wired directly into your factory harness and dash. Looks and feels like it came that way from the manufacturer.
NO ZLINK UNITS — EVER
We never install cheap zLink dongles that cause lag, dropped connections, or glitchy menus. Factory-grade integration units only.
CLEAN DASH REMOVAL
Panels removed and reinstalled in factory sequence. No cracked tabs, no rattles, no scratches on your trim.
WIRELESS CARPLAY + ANDROID AUTO
Pairs automatically every time you start the car. No cables, no fumbling for a USB port at a red light.
FLEXIBLE SOURCING
Bring your own CarPlay unit or let us source one at cost plus 15-20%. Either way, the install quality is the same.
ZERO EXPOSED WIRES
Every connection routed and secured behind factory panels. Your dealer sees nothing. Your dash looks untouched from the outside.
APPLE CARPLAY — FAQ.
-
How much does Apple CarPlay installation cost?
Apple CarPlay integration starts at $299 and is always quoted per vehicle. The final price depends on your year, make, model, and whether you supply your own unit or have us source one. DM @StagedCustoms with your vehicle details and we'll send an exact quote before you book. -
What is a zLink unit, and why don't you use them?
zLink units are cheap wireless adapters that plug into your existing USB port to fake a wireless CarPlay connection. They're known for lag, dropped connections, and glitchy menus. We install factory-grade integration units that connect directly to your vehicle's infotainment harness for a stable, OEM+ experience — no zLink, ever. -
Can I supply my own CarPlay unit?
Yes. If you've already purchased a CarPlay integration unit for your vehicle, bring it in and we'll handle the install. If you don't have one, we can source the correct unit for your vehicle at cost plus a 15-20% markup — either way, your installation is handled with the same clean, factory-integrated process. -
Will this void my factory warranty?
Our installs use plug-and-play harness adapters wherever possible — no permanent cutting or splicing of your factory wiring. We document the install thoroughly so there's a clear record of exactly what was done, giving your dealer nothing to point at. -
How long does the install take?
Most CarPlay integrations are completed same-day, typically within 2 to 4 hours depending on your dash complexity and unit type. We'll give you a more exact estimate once we've confirmed your vehicle and unit.
