2008 Toyota Alphard AH20 9″ Pioneer Radio Upgrade

WOW what a transformation! Both cosmetically and user driving experience. The 2025 Pioneer SPH-DA97DAB has really uplifted this Toyota Alphard. This imported vehicle came into us with a Japanese spec radio with very limited functionality. It left us with DAB, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and a replacement reversing camera (not original was very poor quality).

 

2017 Toyota HiLux installed with the fantastic Kenwood DMX9720XDS Floating 10.1 HD touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This Toyota came into us with the most basic of radios. The transformation is huge.

2000 Toyota HiAce Campervan radio upgrade. The Toyota radio was faulty so we replaced it with a Kenwood DNX5190DABS Navigation system. We also installed a reversing sensor to help when maneuvering.

Toyota GR Yaris Ghost 2 Immobiliser and Heated Seats

2022 Toyota GR Yaris installed with the Autowatch Ghost 2 Immobiliser and heated seat retrofit. The Ghost 2 Immobiliser will inhibit the vehicle from starting even if you have they key. The immobiliser can be disarmed by pressing a sequence of vehicle controls, only the driver will know the correct code.

The flat carbon heated seat elements were positioned underneath the seat fabrics. This required the seats to be removed and stripped down to the framework. The high/low controls were installed to the seat plastics.

Installation for both jobs can typically be completed in one day at our workshop in Bristol.
