Written by the company

A Car Infotainment Company helping everyone upgrade their cars with ease. Our Story: Learning a lot about cars from scratch, our founders at CarplayDIY realised how easy certain elements of a car could be changed (more than likely done for quick repairs). With extensive research done in the sector to improve our knowledge, we found out how easy we could change car radios with very few tools, so we thought why not let everyone know how easy this is? We decided to source out top quality products and help the public revive their car interior at their fingertips and support them with our knowledge condensed into manuals to provide them with an easy guide to a newer, better car interior. With the release of Apple Carplay we also want to encourage a safer driving experience as this software is a safer way to use your apps while driving! We are also Multi-lingual! Providing Spanish, French and Dutch customer support!

Atrocious company to deal with

Not delivered within time frame and took nearly two months to arrive. Excuse after excuse given but this item shipped from China and not EU as suggested. No instructions for fitting or tools (as stated on website) to assist. Poor to no communication from seller and I would absolutely steer clear and not recommend this company. Read the online reviews before ordering - I wish I had.

Do not buy a radio from this website!

Do not buy a radio from this website!!
Purchased a Radio that is not compatible with my son’s car. Sent multiple emails, contact via social media method/whats app and heard nothing with regards to a full refund. Spent wasted hours and extra money getting independent people to see if this radio will fully work… totally miss sold product, not fit for purpose.

A little foreshadowing on this companies customer service

Bought a full CarPlay system took 3 weeks to come, ended up being the wrong one took a further couple of weeks to recieve a response on my emails regarding it. Was told I was going to be sent a brand new system correctly fitted for my car, didn’t hear anything else for a further 2 months. Randomly with no prior notice found a CarPlay system in an unlabelled plastic package once again it was the wrong one. Contacted CarPlay diy again took another 2 weeks for a response. Another week later and I still have not heard anything. I have been emailing and contacting them continuously during the entire time period mentioned above. So no not a great experience.

Terrible communication

Took 3.5 weeks to come not 7-14 days, Communication was terrible , took them 2 weeks to respond to me and after that replied every couple of days and now not responding at all. I ordered a CarPlay for Audi A3 2003-2012 and it didn’t work so I had to get it another shop to install it with their own equipment and wires and all I asked was for them to cover the bill but they’re offering a replacement which is no good because I’ve already got it installed and don’t want to wait another 3 weeks

They delayed the parcel by a month

They delayed the parcel by a month - Received Incomplete parcel with CIC Unit missing.

Provided wrong/incomplete installation video of some youtuber.
No manual instructions to install - Better to get something cheap from Amazon

Stay away

Absolutely horrendous to deal with have had my order over 2 months. Had issues with the tracking number had to send multiple emails to figure out when it would be delivered, when it arrived i was missing a harness to install into my car. Emailed them about my issue took weeks for a response, sent over what was asked of me when they did respond and again have had no response 6 emails later . Still waiting on a "response" still haven't a working system complete joke.

What a scam and shambles of a company

What a scam and shambles of a company. Ordered a radio for €340 2 months ago. Not as much as a tracking number or reply from an email have I got. If you text them on WhatsApp or instagram it’s an AI bot that can’t help you out. I emailed them 12 times and I never got one response off them. Scam and very badly mannered business. Do not attempt to purchase off this company. You will be out money.

Do not buy

Typical dropshipping business where your order isn't actually in stock but its still at their supplier (most likely)in china. You will be weeks and possibly months waiting if you buy from them

Great experience all round.

Great experience all round the team were able to answer my questions and addressed my concerns about shipping. The product itself was very easy to install had it done and ready to go within 20 minutes and it is working even better than I had expected. Would definitely recommend.

Avoid This Company — No Order, No Replies, No Support

Avoid This Company — No Order, No Replies, No Support
I strongly advise others to stay well clear of this company. I placed an order on 1st February 2026 and still haven’t received it. There have been zero updates on shipping or delays. I’ve sent six emails and not one has been answered. The webchat was useless and only redirected me back to the same unresponsive support email.
This level of customer service is completely unacceptable. The lack of communication, transparency, and basic respect for customers has made this an incredibly frustrating experience. Based on what I’ve gone through, I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Awful service

Awful service. Do not use.. radio was delivered after 5 or 6 weeks but it would not connect to my car. After multiple attempts to contact the company they eventually responded saying they would send the correct adapter. Nothing happened. This has gone on for months. They have stopped responding to me. Do not use this company.
