OUR WORK
The details make the difference.
A space for real installations and the upgrades behind them.
Recent CircuitDrive projects will be added here as the portfolio grows.
Will this work with my car?+
Compatibility depends on your vehicle and infotainment system. You don’t need to identify the system yourself. Send your registration and a clear photo of the infotainment screen with the main menu visible so CircuitDrive can identify it and check the options. A registration number alone does not confirm compatibility.
Do you come to me?+
Yes. CircuitDrive is primarily a mobile service covering Preston, Lancashire and surrounding North West areas. We arrange a suitable visit to your home, workplace or another agreed location.
Will I lose my original infotainment system?+
This depends on the service. Many retrofit solutions are designed to retain original vehicle functions and allow switching between the factory interface and the new system. We confirm which controls and functions are retained for your specific installation.
Is CarPlay wireless?+
This depends on the vehicle, infotainment system, installed hardware and selected solution. We confirm whether wired or wireless connectivity is available when checking your car.
