The problem

Is your van's stereo stuck in the past?

You love your campervan, but the driving experience feels dated. It's not just inconvenient; it's distracting and unsafe. Your van is a modern home on wheels, but the cab feels like a relic.

Distracting Navigation
Fumbling with a phone balanced in a wobbly cradle for navigation is inconvenient and unsafe.
Unreliable Audio
Your Bluetooth connection is flaky for streaming music, and the radio interface is a sea of tiny, confusing buttons.
Dated Cab Experience
Your van is a modern home on wheels, but the cab feels like a relic from the early 2000s.
Unsafe Communication
Making calls or changing music requires taking your eyes off the road and hands off the wheel.

The solution

Your apps, your music, your maps - seamlessly on display

The solution is a professional Head Unit Upgrade. We carefully remove your old, clunky factory stereo and replace it with a beautiful, high-resolution touchscreen that integrates perfectly with your van.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
The magic of this upgrade. Your essential phone apps are displayed on the large screen in a simple, driver-friendly format.
Voice Control
Control everything using your phone's voice assistant (Siri or Google Assistant) for a truly hands-free experience.
Professional Integration
We handle all the complex wiring and vehicle-specific adaptors to ensure the new unit looks perfectly integrated, as if it were fitted at the factory.
Add a Reversing Camera
Your new head unit is ready for a reversing camera input. We can fit a rear camera at the same time for safe, stress-free parking — see our dashcam and reversing camera installation page.
Vehicle-Specific Fitment
We work with all popular campervan platforms including VW Transporter T5, T6, and T6.1, Mercedes Sprinter, and Ford Transit. Our installations retain full steering wheel control functionality and integrate with your existing DAB+ aerial for crystal-clear digital radio.
Leading Brands
We supply and fit beautiful, high-resolution touchscreens from leading brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, and Alpine, with built-in DAB+, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

How it works

A clean, tidy, hassle-free installation

A complete head unit upgrade service, from helping you choose the right unit to getting you on the road with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

01

Consultation & selection

We start with a chat about your van, your existing head unit, and what you want from the upgrade — Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB radio, built-in navigation or better sound. We'll recommend a unit that's fully compatible with your vehicle's wiring, dashboard and features.

02

Quote

We provide a clear, itemised quote covering the head unit, the vehicle-specific wiring harness and fascia adapter, and the fitting labour. Usually returned within 48 hours, with realistic lead times for any specialist parts.

03

Book your installation

A deposit covers the head unit and any vehicle-specific parts, and secures your fitting slot. Most head unit installs are booked within 2–4 weeks.

04

Professional installation

We meticulously remove the existing dashboard trim and stereo, fit the correct wiring harness and fascia plates for your vehicle, then install and fully test the new head unit. Most installations are completed in just a few hours on the same day.

05

Setup & handover

We'll help you pair your phone for the first time, walk you through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and hand over any documentation. Our work is covered by a 12-month warranty, with ongoing support if you need a hand with anything later.
