  • Bentley Replacement Stereo Upgrade

    Faulty Navigation System ?

    Bentley GT 2006 factory stereo

    As with many older cars the factory fitted stereo systems can be quickly out of date.  They can also develop faults that are expensive to repair or replace. If you are having issues with the OEM radio system in your Bentley or you are wanting to improve the features of it, then Source Sounds in Sheffield have the answer.  We can change the OEM radio in most Bentleys from 2004 upto 2011 by using a replacement stereo upgrade kit.

    We can now upgrade the poorly featured factory stereo with something much better using a bespoke replacement panel. There are many options available that will bring the car into the 21st century with new features that the original radio system could only dream of having.  The dash panel supplied with the kit will allow the removal of the original stereo and the heater controls.  By replacing the heater controls with an LCD panel all functions are retained. This allows full control of all factory systems including the Tyre Pressure Monitoring system.  In addition, suspension settings, amplifier settings, lighting and wiper settings are amongst others. The audio controls on the steering wheel  are retained with the new radio system, including the phone answer button.

     

    Upgrade Capabilities

    Systems start from around £2500 supplied and fitted (the one in the picture was £2800).  This would be for a touch screen system that would give FM Radio, Navigation, CD/DVD, USB for memory sticks and iPod connectivity.  Apple Car Play is also built in to the unit, as well as a Bluetooth connection for phone calls and music streaming.  Also, for a slightly higher price, other features including DAB Digital Radio, Android Auto and larger screens are available.

    Also, you could fit an additional reverse camera to the system. This would enable the driver to view what is behind the vehicle in the blind spot.

  • In Car iPod Solutions in Sheffield

    I Want To Use My iPod in my Car

    I’ve been looking at in car iPod solutions in Sheffield.  The iPod is one of the most amazing gadgets of the 21st Century.   A device small enough to fit into a pocket, to listen to whatever you want on the move.  Now that it’s been incorporated into a mobile phone aswell I can keep in touch with all my friends and listen to cool music from one device instead of carrying loads of stuff in each pocket.

    I currently have 100gb’s worth of music at the touch of a button.  No longer is it a case of which cd’s to cram into the small space we usually call a door pocket.  The only questions are…. How do I get the sound to come out of my car speakers? and Where do I find in car ipod solutions in Sheffield?

    The answer is quite simple.  There are 4 main ways to get the sound to come from your vehicle speakers:

    • Pro FM Modulator

    • Bluetooth Phone Kit

    Each of these solutions will give you different ways of utilising your iPod.  Some will give full control as well as charging of the iPod.  Others will just charge and the control is from the iPod.
