Mazda CX-3 CarPlay / Android Auto Retrofit
Told by Mazda and other local installers that it couldn’t be done, we pushed on with a custom solution to bring the latest connectivity to her relatively new CX-3. Equiped from factory with a very basic bluetooth radio at the top of the dash, the vehicle did have some limitations. On inspecting the vehicle we […]
Honda CRV with upgraded CarPlay / Android Auto & GPS
The Honda CRV is a great car but the factory optioned multimedia system is severely lacking when it comes to phone connectivity. With a heavily sloping dash the factory screen also suffered from a lot of glare. Our solution was to install an Alpine iNE-F409 tablet style system with built-in GPS, CarPlay, Android Auto and […]
Alpine ILX-F259 Installation into Fuso Truck
The business owner wanted the practicality of CarPlay/Android Auto for their drivers to connect and navigate with their phones. They also wanted the added safety of a reverse camera and a large screen. Based on these two requirements we elected to install Alpine’s baby Halo 9 iLX-F259E in place of the factory radio. The ability […]
2019 Dodge RAM with Alpine Halo 9 Installation
This 2019 Dodge RAM came through our workshop to upgrade the factory audiovisual system. After considering all options we decided that a custom-fit of Alpine’s flagship Halo 9 unit with tablet style display and built-in GPS. In addition to the GPS the iNE-F409E also features a host of connectivity in the form of wired CarPlay […]

Alpine’s 9″ GPS solution for 70 Series Cruisers is arguably the best way to improve the tech in your trusty LandCruiser. Loaded with street and Hema maps, CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB Digital radio and of course a […]

Fronting up this build is Alpine’s […]
LandCruiser Sound Deadening
There’s no denying the Cruiser isn’t focused on creature comforts from new. That’s why we’ve developed a range of sound deadening solutions to take the edge off. Our approach can be tailored to all budgets and applications. This example was built in early 2020 and the single-cab got the works. Roof, back-wall, floor and doors […]
70 Series LandCruiser Subwoofer Enclosure
After much frustration using ill-fitting pre-fabricated subwoofer solutions in LandCruisers we decided it was time to develop our own solution. We’ve had much success with JL Audio’s 8″ micro-sub so we used this as a basis to develop and tune our solution. One of the key considerations was to keep the box level with the […]
Stedi Lightbar & Flood Light Installation 79 Series Cruiser
The owner of this 79 Series came to us to install his Stedi light-bar, side work lights and a full-width reverse light. Being particularly fussy with the fitment we modified the supplied brackets to allow the front light-bar to sit flush with the roof platform. The end result looks super tidy and suits the clean […]
79 Series Cruiser Lightbar & Headlight Upgrade
We installed a Nitro light-bar and LED headlight globes into this 79 Series. The factory headlights are quite laughable, but with a little bit of JWSpeaker magic the factory housings are sensational. Combined with the NITRO Maxx 155W 18″ LED Light bar the driver now has up to 650M of useable light on high beam […]
