2019 Volvo XC60 – Reversing Camera & Full Screen Android Auto / Apple CarPlay Upgrade

This Volvo XC60 originally came with factory Apple CarPlay, however it was limited to a half-screen display. The customer wanted full-screen Android Auto capability, so we installed an aftermarket integration module that delivers seamless full-screen Android Auto, while also retaining Apple CarPlay functionality.

As part of the upgrade, we also fitted a discreet reversing camera with dynamic guidelines, improving visibility and parking confidence.

To complete the setup, the customer opted for a Thinkware U1000 PLUS front and rear dash camera system, providing comprehensive driving and parking surveillance.

The entire installation was completed in a single day at our Bristol workshop.
