DISGRACEFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE BY CAR AUDIO CENTRE I bought a Pioneer Carplay audio unit from the Car Audio Centre / In Phase International (at their NEC Gadget Show stand) plus the recommended wiring for my vehicle which turned out to have not, one but SIX sporadic faults, five of which I caught on video as proof for the Car Audio Centre to see. As soon as I emailed the Car Audio Centre wishing to exercise my short term right to reject faulty goods I was met with rude customer service who suggested I take my car to a third party over three hours away and have to pay for them to fix it. I was clear in wanting a refund as after finding six faults you end up with zero faith in the product and I needed to look at a different brand. The Car Audio Centre then tried to add extortionate charges, stating I’d have to pay £30 (and then £75) if I was to return it and their 24/48hr bench test did not turn up the faults. After consulting someone who works within the automotive wiring industry and handles testing on a day to day basis for advice as I trust him more than these glorified Halford’s installers. Due to the advice, I declined this bench test as it may find simple faults but it does not guarantee that it will find sporadic faults. Unfortunately it is not as simple as yes or no but the people at the Car Audio Centre do not seem to understand this. Not to mention that it would not have been in the same conditions as it was in my car, with my specific audio set up and quite frankly I don’t trust them one bit to be honest after their dodgy Car Audio Centre customer service. The fact that it is a new item, notified well within 14 days let alone 30 days, with proof of faults there shouldn’t be a question and I should have got a refund when I first asked for it instead of being bullied by the Car Audio Centre with hidden fees. Go elsewhere, it may be a tenner more but it will be worth your money if you unfortunately end up with Car Audio Centre faulty goods. It’s not worth the headache! Avoid Car Audio Centre like the plague.

Ordered a JVC single din mechles head unit, when the item was delivered, it was clear from the packaging and the head unit itself that this was not a new stereo but a used item. Possibly a return or an ex demonstration unit as the display screen was covered in surface scratches and the box had been resealed prior to delivery. Now alot of messing around to send back and wait 14 days for a refund. Clearly NO quality control on what's being sent out to customers, and a very abrupt response to the email questioning the quality of the product delivered. Have used this company previously in the past, won't be using them again!

Product delivered promptly, at virtually half price, so good value for money if like me you DONT want a complicated unit, just a good basic stereo/cd which doesn't keep flashing coloured lights and going into demo mode all the time.

Ordered a replacement radio for my truck. Ordered it Saturday morning, was ready to be collected by DPD within the hour. Arrived less than 24 hours later on Sunday morning. I didn’t pay for next day delivery, the estimated delivery date was the following Wednesday. Extremely happy with the service and the product I received.

Excellent customer service, no aggressive up selling. Billy and Ricky, are knowledgeable and when it comes to their workmanship they are the best. I have been using them for over 15 years, I have always found them honest and dependable, I will not consider taking my car elsewhere for my audio and in car lighting needs. My daughter takes her car there as well, she will only take their advice and quality of service also. Darryl Audi SQ5

good luck navigating this site, the watt ratings on most products is made up bulls**t. if you cant give rms outputs how the hell do i match amps to speakers and visa versa ? peak output for 1 nano second is the most irrelevant info ever.

Ordered a fitting kit for a Saab 9-3 2008 plus a Kenwood stereo. Email arrived after payment had been taken to say radio was out of stock and would I like a cheaper non brand one instead? Correct radio then arrived 2 days later when I ignored the email? The amplifier retention interface made by Connects2 does not work correctly - creates a lot of noise through the speakers. I emailed the company to register this but received no reply. The companies returns policy costs are so prohibitive that it is not financially viable to return the parts even if they had responded. I would never use this company again!
