With the latest iOS version (iOS 12.0 and higher), 3rd party navigation apps like Google Maps™ and Waze™ are also supported. KENWOOD Wi-Fi receivers now support Apple CarPlay wirelessly (compatible phone required).

Customer Testimonials

Our company is built with experience, friendliness and proficiency
Todd Lyons "Absolutely brilliant. Decided to have caravan fitted out for off grid convenience -inverter, solar lithium DCDC etc. Contacted Brad. What a knowledgeable, honest, energetic professional guy. Listened patiently to my ignorant questions and vague needs and provided options and solutions. On several occasions, Brad persuaded me on fit out options that would save me money but stillmeet my needs. That was super impressive. Some changes and tweaks and job done -a robust Red Arc fitment. We are thrilled with the whole experience. Unlike many businesses, they answered the phone, replied to messages and emails, kept us informed did what they said they would do -and the workshop was very well organised. Huge thanks to Brad, Alex and workshop teamalong with Tracy in office."

No hesitation in recommending Elite if you’re looking for any auto electrical work."
 
Elle Radford  "Absolutely 10/10 experience with Elite Car Sound & Auto Electrical!I was in a real pickle and had spoken to several auto electricians who just kept fobbing me off. The team at Elite were completely different, they were understanding, knew exactly what to do, and were honest and helpful from the get go. They managed to fitme in and had everything sorted within the hour.It’s rare to come across a business that’s this professional, efficient, and genuinely cares about helping their customers. I can’t recommend them highly enough, if you need auto electrical work done right, reach out to the team at Elite."

 Ian Hosking  "Dropped in without an appointment just to discuss dash cam options. As it turned out they had someone else cancel an installation today do they were able to supply & install while I waited. Tracy handles receptikn, sales, bookings, customer service -all with a friendly smile. Very happy with the prompt, professional service. One of the installers took the time to run me through some of the basic functions & help me link my 'phone to the dash cam via WiFi. Based on my experience today, I highly recommend them."
