Our approach

A model name and year rarely identify the complete infotainment system. We check the registration or VIN, screen, controls and factory hardware before recommending an interface, replacement display, head unit or supported BMW factory activation.

What we can do

A complete service,
not a single product.

01

Alfa Romeo

CarPlay and Android Auto options assessed around the original screen, source unit, controls and amplifier fitted to the vehicle.

  • Factory-screen interfaces where compatible
  • Replacement screen or head-unit routes
  • Camera and control retention checked
02

Aston Martin

Discreet connectivity solutions for cars where preserving the original cabin design and control system is central to the brief.

  • Factory display retained where supported
  • Audio path and controls assessed
  • Reversible integration prioritised
03

Lamborghini

Vehicle-specific integration planned around the installed factory media system rather than the badge or registration year alone.

  • Factory-system identification
  • Wired or wireless options by hardware
  • Existing camera and audio functions checked
04

Škoda & Volkswagen

Connectivity through a compatible factory interface or a replacement head unit, depending on the platform and original equipment.

  • Factory-screen and replacement-unit options
  • Steering-wheel and parking functions assessed
  • DAB, cameras and hands-free integration
05

Volvo

CarPlay and Android Auto routes selected around the exact Sensus or earlier factory system and the functions that must remain available.

  • Screen and control-system check
  • Factory audio integration assessed
  • Vehicle settings retained where compatible
06

BMW factory activation

Native CarPlay activation may be possible where the vehicle already has compatible factory hardware and software; otherwise we explain the appropriate interface or display route.

  • Hardware and software checked first
  • Wi-Fi aerial supplied and installed if required
  • Factory activation only on supported vehicles

The Unique standard

One page can list the makes. Only the vehicle details can confirm the solution.

Keep or replace the factory system

The correct route depends on what is already in the dashboard.

A factory-screen interface can preserve the original display and controls. On other vehicles, a replacement head unit or vehicle-specific screen is the cleaner solution. We compare what is retained, how audio is routed and which cameras or settings must continue working before recommending either path.

  • Original controls and menus identified
  • Camera, amplifier and parking audio checked
  • Wired and wireless operation explained
  • Complete supplied-and-installed quotation

BMW native CarPlay

Activation is only native when the factory hardware supports it.

Some BMW systems can run factory CarPlay after a compatibility check, coding and any required Wi-Fi aerial work. Where the hardware is not suitable, we will not present an interface or replacement display as the same thing—we explain the differences and quote the right route.

  • Vehicle and software version confirmed
  • Existing navigation hardware assessed
  • Wi-Fi aerial requirement checked
  • Alternative interface route explained where needed

Common questions

Before you message us.

Vehicle specification changes what is possible. Send the registration or VIN and clear photographs for the most useful answer.

01What if my make or model is not listed?+

Send the registration or VIN and a clear dashboard photograph. The available hardware changes regularly, and we can check vehicles beyond the makes shown on this page.

02Will the original controls and cameras still work?+

We aim to retain compatible controls, cameras, amplifiers and parking audio, but the exact outcome depends on the interface and factory system. We confirm those functions before quoting.

03Will CarPlay be wired or wireless?+

Both are possible, depending on the vehicle and chosen hardware. We will state which connection the proposed system supports and whether Android Auto behaves differently.

04What should I send for a fitment check?+

Send the registration or VIN, a clear photograph of the dashboard and screen, and—if available—the factory system or software-information page.
