Lake City Hyundai Santa Fe Gets CarPlay Radio Upgrade

October 28, 2020 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

Lake City CarPlayA client from Lake City recently contacted us at Pinnacle Autosound about upgrading his daughter’s Hyundai Santa Fe with an Apple CarPlay radio and a backup camera.  We offer a number of radios that feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We hand pick radios from the top brands, Kenwood and Sony, for their excellent CarPlay options.  After discussing different radio options with the client we settled on the Kenwood DDX5707S.

Safe and Handsfree Phone Access

The Kenwood DDX5707S offers many features that bring the technology in this first generation Santa Fe to the 2020’s.  Most importantly the DDX5707S offers Apple CarPlay that gives the user handsfree control of their smartphone for safer driving.  The client’s daughter will now be able to safely listen to music, navigate using numerous navigation apps, and even text with both hands on the steering wheel!  Our technicians mounted the microphone above the rearview mirror, so it was sure to provide clear sound quality for those on phone calls with the client.

Backup Safety by Echomaster

To further enhance the safety of the vehicle the client requested the addition of an Echomaster backup camera.  We exclusively sell Echomaster cameras because of their outstanding quality and value.  Echomaster not only offers clients to the aftermarket segment but also to OEM manufacturers.  We mounted the camera over the license plate, a location we determined would be perfect for the Santa Fe.  The camera was adjusted to give the driver a rear view that includes a bit of the bumper to help judge closeness to objects while backing up.

CarPlay Available at Pinnacle Autosound in Lake City

If you are interested in adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to your vehicle, give us a call or email.  To see Apple CarPlay in person, stop by our store.  Make sure to check out our Echomaster backup camera display, too!

Nissan Altima Android Auto Upgrade for Lake City Car Audio Client

February 15, 2018 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

Nissan Altima Android AutoA client recently came to us looking for a way to safely use his phone while driving his 2015 Nissan Altima.  We talked with the client about the different ways that could be accomplished.  After narrowing down the best radio for the client we scheduled the appointment for his Nissan Altima Android Auto upgrade.

Mitchell1 Software Saves The Day

The factory radio had a small screen and no ability for Android Auto.

We have recently subscribed to the Mitchell1 ProDemand service for vehicle wiring and repair.  This service gives us access to wiring diagrams and exploded views of 100’s of automobiles.  For this Altima we were able to use the ProDemand service to determine the proper wiring for the steering wheel controls interface.  Typically this wiring information is provided with the steering wheel interface, but this 2015 Altima was not listed.  A quick look through the ProDemand software helped us verify the proper wiring.

Backup Camera Interfacing

The client will now be able to backup safely thanks to the camera integration.

The client’s small factory screen served as not only the radio for the car but also the display for the factory backup camera.  The client had asked us about possibly retaining the factory backup camera.  Thanks again to our ProDemand software, we were able to determine the correct wires to us for interfacing the new radio with the factory backup camera.  The ProDemand software also alerted us to a changing in voltage for the camera system.  The client would now be able to see the view from his camera on the new, larger screen.

Nissan Altima Android Auto Features

100’s of apps are available for Android Auto.

The component of this installation that the client was most concerned about was the smartphone integration.  Thanks to the new Kenwood radio, the client would now had handsfree control of his phone.  And exciting new feature too is the addition of Waze to the Android Auto suite.  Now the best smartphone navigation software would be at the control of the client’s voice.  In addition to navigation, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Spotify and hundreds of other apps are now available.

If you use and Android smartphone and would like to learn more about integrating it with your vehicle stop by today.  We can plug your phone into one of the Android Auto radios on our display and you can see first hand the convenience it offers.  If you need more information or would like to schedule an appointment, feel free to contact us using our online contact form.
