Toyota Corolla Audio System Upgrade for Lake City Client

September 10, 2018 By JOey Knapp Leave a Comment

Corolla AudioA client recently brought her Toyota to us here at Pinnacle Autosound for a Corolla audio and technology upgrade.  She wanted a safer way to interact with her phone while driving and also needed new speakers.  We put together a plan for her car and started to work.

Apple CarPlay Radio Upgrade

Apple CarPlay was the star of this Corolla audio upgrade.

The USB port gives the client easy access for plugging in her phone.

The microphone makes sure the client’s conversation are easily heard.

To assist with the client’s driving safety a Sony touch screen radio with Apple CarPlay was installed.  This will allow the client to have handsfree control over many functions of her phone.  Some of the new features she will gain are: on-screen navigation,  speech-to-text messaging, and numerous audio streaming sources.  The Sony radio is Bluetooth enabled, so the client can make and receive handsfree calls while driving.  Our technicians mounted the microphone for the radio at the top corner of the windshield, for maximum performance.  Plugging in her phone to the radio was made easier by a remote USB port that was installed in her console.

Corolla Audio Upgrade by JL Audio

The JL Audio speakers easily fit behind the factory grilles.

To address the problem of the anemic sounding front door speakers our techs installed a set of JL Audio C1 coaxial speakers in the factory locations.  The JL Audio speakers, paired with the new Sony radio, give the client much more output, clarity and response.  If she ever decides to add an amplifier to the system, the JL C1 speakers can also handle a bit of power, too!

Backup Camera for Additional Safety

To securely mount the camera the trim panel was removed from the car.

The camera wiring was neatly secured to the factory wires.

Once we finished our work on the factory loom it looked completely stock.

Backing up is much safer thanks to the addition of the backup camera.

The final step in the upgrades on this Toyota Corolla was the addition of a backup camera.  The camera was mounted just above the license plate on a plastic trim panel.  The camera was secured to the plastic with stainless steel bolts to ensure a lifetime of use.  The wiring for the camera was neatly routed with the factory wiring.  To maintain a factory look in the trunk, the tape on the OEM wire loom was cut and our wires were inserted.  Then the OEM wire loom was re-taped, leaving it looking like we were never there.  The backup safety system also includes guidelines to help the client judge when she is getting too close to an object.
