Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

Ford Transit CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Ford Transit generation we see: Mk6 (2000–2006): Single-DIN Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the radio slot, as the van has no screen of its own; Mk7 (2006–2014): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the 6000CD position on a double-DIN fascia; there is no SYNC unit to build on; Mk8 (2014 on): SYNC 3 6-inch vans: a software update unlocks CarPlay and Android Auto on the factory screen; 2019-on vans already have it and get a wireless adapter; SYNC 1 and basic-radio vans get the Android screen. From €150. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

How long does CarPlay take on a Ford Transit?
Mk6: two to three hours; Mk7: two to three hours; Mk8: under an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Transit in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Ford Transit?
Mk6: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk7: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk8: nothing physical changes — the SYNC 1 with a 4-inch display on 2014–2016 vans, SYNC 3 with a 6-inch touchscreen from 2016, an 8-inch SYNC 3 with CarPlay from the factory from the 2019 facelift, and SYNC 4 with a 12-inch screen from 2024; fleet vans often have the basic radio with a 4-inch display stays and the CarPlay tile simply appears.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Ford Transit, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (Mk6, Mk7 and Mk8) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
