What Makes Mr12Volt Different?
There are several ways to add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to an older vehicle, but not all retrofit solutions deliver the same experience.
Bluetooth Adapters
Bluetooth adapters allow you to stream music and make hands-free calls, but they don't provide a true Apple CarPlay or Android Auto interface on your factory screen. Audio is transmitted over Bluetooth and functionality is often limited.
Replacement Head Units
Replacing the original head unit gives you modern features, but it also changes the appearance of the dashboard and can affect factory functionality, depending on the vehicle.
Mr12Volt Interfaces
Mr12Volt interfaces are engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with fibre optic MOST systems. Instead of replacing the factory infotainment system, they integrate with it, allowing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to operate through your original screen and controls.
The result is an OEM-style upgrade that retains the look and feel of your vehicle while adding the convenience of modern smartphone connectivity.
How Mr12Volt Technology Works
Many premium vehicles use a fibre optic communication system known as MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) to connect the infotainment system, amplifier and multimedia components.
Mr12Volt interfaces are designed specifically to communicate with this network, integrating seamlessly with your vehicle's existing hardware.
Once installed, the interface appears as an additional source within your factory infotainment system, giving you access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without replacing the original unit or modifying the dashboard.
Because the interface works with the factory system rather than replacing it, installation is fully reversible.
