📱 From CD Stackers to CarPlay
When Elliot reached out, he had just purchased his 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish and noticed something unusual — a CD stacker in the boot. For a car of this calibre, it felt outdated, especially when what he really wanted was wireless Android Auto for maps, streaming, and calls.
That’s where MC Audio Sydney stepped in.
🔧 The Integration Process
We fitted an Auto-IO AM-AMI module, a high-quality solution designed specifically for Aston Martin models. The system integrates directly into the factory infotainment screen and controls, allowing Elliot to connect his smartphone wirelessly without losing the OEM look.
Our installation process involved:
- Removing interior panels with care to avoid damage.
- Locating the best mounting position for the module behind the dash.
- Routing wiring discreetly within the vehicle’s architecture.
- Configuring software and updating the infotainment system.
🎶 New Features Enabled
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Voice control for navigation & messaging
- Streaming music with studio-quality sound
- Phone mirroring & hands-free calls
- Factory buttons & screen fully retained
✨ Final Result
Elliot now enjoys modern infotainment technology in his Vanquish while maintaining the timeless Aston Martin interior design. The car may have started with a CD stacker, but it now boasts the best of 2025’s in-car connectivity.
