Mercedes E55 AMG Tech Upgrade

Posted by csdadmin

This 2001 Mercedes E55 AMG with its supercharged V8 can keep up with just about any new car on the road today. The only thing it was lacking was the current technologies found in newer vehicles. That’s not the case anymore! CSD added a Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS head unit, adding CD, USB, Auxiliary input along with Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio.

One important concern about adding aftermarket equipment is how it will affect the cosmetics of the dash. Particularly in high-end cars, most of their owners want to preserve the integrity of the factory interior. This Pioneer head unit gives us the ability to precisely tune the color and even the intensity of its buttons and display to exactly match the rest of the dash. This makes the aftermarket equipment look perfectly at home in any vehicle in which it is installed.

This unique Jetta is number 81 out of only 1200 made. That’s not unique enough for this customer. CSD Gave this Jetta a major technology upgrade adding, DVD, USB, iPod Video, Bluetooth Audio & Hands Free Phone, HD Radio, Back Up Camera and 12″ Rockford Fosgate Subwoofer powered by a Pioneer Digital Series amplifier. Now this limited edition car is 1 of a kind!

This customer is used to high end sound and the audio system in this new Scion coupe just didn’t measure up. In additiona to a major Audio overhaul, CSD filled the dash with the latest technology including Navigation, DVD, SD video, iPod a/v, Bluetooth hands free phone and streaming audio. Now it has the features and performance to match its good looks.

This SUV needed a major technology update. A Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT was swapped in giving this Merc navigation, Bluetooth, iPod video, Pandora, USB, and DVD. A custom, one off, dash bezel was fabricated to make this new receiver look right at home in the dash. The rear screens were tied in with the front and factory back-up camera was retained as well. The stock speakers were also retained but the power output was upped to over 500 watts!

Older cars need love too

Andy was about to drive this newly restored VW Vanagon AWD to Colorado and on to Massachusetts and we couldn’t let him make the journey with a tape deck and blown speakers! This 25 year old van received a technology upgrade including CD player with iPod, USB & Bluetooth. The front doors were modified to accept 5.25″ speakers (up from 4″) and the rear speakers were also upgraded with Pioneer’s D Series coaxials with Basalt Technology.

In addition to sound upgrades, we made this VW a much quieter environment to enjoy long drives with the thorough application of sound deadening material down the length of vehicle. Check out the video below to see the substantial difference. This Vanagon went from the acoustics of a tin can to the quiet ride of a Lexus!

You’d think a 2012 Audi would come loaded with technology, but CSD Audio still has the ability to upgrade this hot hatch with even more bells & whistles.

Misty loves her music. We loaded this Jeep up with all the latest and loudest components from Pioneer. The control center of this system is Pioneer’s AVH-P6300BT with built in DVD, iPod Video playback, Ap Mode and Bluetooth hands free phone, GEX-P920XM module, and ND-BC4 back-up camera. Under the rear seat, we stashed two Pioneer amplifiers, the GM-D7500M pushes two JL Audio 10″ W3v3 subs and GM-D9500F to power the D-Series 5-1/4″ components in the front and coaxials in the sound bar above. This jeep is the complete package and absolutely rocks!

JR’s Porsche Carrera

JR’s Posche Carrera 4
We’re just gettin started with this one here, folks. First off, we added an AVH-P3300BT in dash multimedia receiver to update the technologoy in this porsche. The 3300BT adds DVD, iPod video, USB, SD playback as well as syncs with your smartphone via Bluetooth. In-Car connectivity at its finest. It even has an ‘ap mode’ feature to allow you access to many of your iPod/iPhone applications through the CD-IU50v cable. To get this new unit to fit, the dash had to be modified, climate controls relocated and custom trim bezel was fabricated to make this new unit look like it came that way from the factory. Up next, JR plans to add a 13″ woofer behind the back seat to provide this sporty coupe the low bass that the factory Bose system just can’t provide. Stay tuned!

We added the subwoofer today and totally transformed the Bose system into something quite impressive. While we could have gone with a fiberglass molded enclosure, budget was a concern so I designed a simpler version built entirely of MDF and finished with black carpet and factory matched tan vinyl. Very simple, very clean, and great sound.
