DIY Installation Guide for Your CarPlay Module Upgrade Your Car the Smart Way – No Professional Required

What You’ll Need

• ✅ Trim removal tools (plastic preferred to protect interior)

• ✅ Screwdrivers (usually Phillips head)

• ✅ Flashlight (optional)

• ✅ Your CarPlay module kit (includes wiring harness, interface box, etc.)

Step 1: Watch an Installation Video for Your Vehicle

Before you start, search YouTube for your specific car model. For example:
🔍 “CarPlay module installation Honda Accord 2015”

Seeing someone install in your exact vehicle makes it much easier to follow.

Step 2: Remove the Factory Head Unit

Use the trim tools to gently pop off the panels around your stereo. Then unscrew and pull out the head unit.

Step 3: Connect the CarPlay Module

Match each connector to the corresponding port — the product manual will guide you.
These modules are plug-and-play: every plug fits in only one place. You can’t go wrong.

Common connections:

• Factory power/audio harness

• LVDS video cable (from screen to module)

• USB or AUX input (if included)

• Optional mic input (some kits)

Step 4: Test Functionality Before Final Assembly

Turn on your car and verify that the CarPlay system works:

• Touchscreen responds

• Audio works

• CarPlay or Android Auto launches properly

• Steering wheel controls (if supported)

Step 5: Tuck & Reinstall

Carefully tuck the module and cables behind the dash, ensuring nothing pinches. Reinstall your factory stereo and snap the panels back in place.

You’re done!
