We understand the convenience that portable music offers with the ability to take it anywhere such as home and office, and that the iPod or iPhone is the most popular quality portable media player on the market, it would be only right to have it stream through your vehicles audio system. At Access 1 Alarm and Audio we have that ability along with the expertise to outfit your vehicle with the perfect solution.
Some of our kits have the added benefit of Bluetooth Audio or A2DP music streaming, giving you control of your iPod/iPhone’s music without taking it out of your pocket, some even offer charging while it is connected to the vehicle.

Radio Replacement Upgrade
Starting at $70 for a basic radio to the ultimate full blown touchscreen navigation multimedia radios, sometimes this is this least expensive option or the best depending on the vehicle. We offer iPod/iPhone capable radios from Sony, Kenwood, and Alpine.
Black Box Solutions
Black box solutions are both vehicle and radio specific integration devices that allow your factory radio to play and control the iPod or iPhone. Such as our Porsche iPod integration solution which allows for the Porsche radio to emulate the iPod controls as if it was a CD Changer.

2007 Audi Q7 Bluray DVD Player Integration to Factory MMI System
The classy 2007-2008 Audi Q7 lacks the playback of DVD Video while in park. Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers a custom video integration module that allows 3 Audio/Video sources and a rear camera to be displayed on the factory MMI screen.
This option viewed in the photos, incorporated an external Bluray DVD player mounted in the glovebox. Upon being loaded with your movie, the unit can be controlled via a wireless remote control. Since the Audio is a closed loop MOST optical system with no external audio inputs from the factory, an optical audio interface was utilized to enable an audiophile quality audio signal to be generated on the optical system and played throughout the vehicles speakers.
The Bluray DVD player was also incorporated with the aftermarket DVD headrest system allowing for all the screens to display the same movie or 3 different movies.
The Audi Q7 integration kit is completely expandable and tailored to fit any of your needs. Examples of what you can utilize this kit for are:
- DVD video
- Bluray video
