General

What is the difference between Bluetooth, Apple Car Play and Android Auto car stereos?
A Bluetooth car stereo is audio only, no maps images etc. It allows you to wirelessly make phone calls and stream music from your phone.

Apple CarPlay is the way Apple iPhone connect to a car head unit to display any CarPlay enable apps on the screen. Example of CarPlay Apps include Waze, Spotify and Google Maps. Android Auto works similarly connecting Android phones only.

There are some head units that are Bluetooth only, or CarPlay only but most head units work on CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth.
Do you have a mobile fitting service?
We don’t offer a mobile service. We do have a large fully equipped workshop with a lot of parts in stock on-site.

Installation Timing

How long will the car audio installation take?
If the car has a standard dash and no complicated wiring it would take approx. 2-4 hours. If we are changing the speakers, or adding a reversing camera as well it would take longer.

We will quote you in advance the amount of labour required for the job. The time the vehicle is booked in the workshop will be longer to allow for lunch breaks and other interrupts to the working day.

For larger installations that include amps, subwoofers, sound deadening we may require the vehicle for a few days.
Can I wait for my car in the showroom?
We do have a waiting area in the showroom. There is also a Café 63 located very close by in Bowling St.

Audio & Head Units

What is a head unit?
Often referred to as the car stereo, the head unit is the central brain of the car’s entertainment and information system, controlling audio, volume and hands-free phone connectivity.
How do I know if I need a new head unit?
If you have a black screen, glitching or freezing chances are you will need to replace your car stereo.

A new head unit offers you Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality that an older model head unit doesn’t have.

Feel free to contact us by phone or email and we can further explain your options. You can trust us and our experienced team to look after you.

You are very welcome to visit our well-stocked showroom to see all our head units powered up and on display.
If I have a car stereo already, will you install it?
At Complete Car Sound we only install the products we supply from our trusted sources in our onsite workshop. We find what works best, for warranty purposes, is that products are installed at their place of purchase.

Customer Service & Vehicle Drop-off

Where should I park my car when I drop it off?
We have an off-street carpark in Pickering St. On arrival you can park your car in the carpark at the front of the shop, and proceed to the front counter of the showroom to check-in. We will bring the car in and out of the workshop for you.
Can I drop my car off early or after hours?
Yes, you can drop your car off outside of our trading hours. We have a key drop box facility. Please contact us for further information.
Do I need a booking to visit?
You are welcome to come in and visit the showroom. The team are more than happy for customers come in for a chat, no appointment necessary. We have a large showroom with our head units and speakers, etc, powered up and on display.

Workshop bookings are required for installation.
