WHY DO PEOPLE BUY OEM LUMINA AUDIO HEAD UNITS?
Customisation
Paul O’Connor designed his Lumina Audio multimedia head units to adapt to the automotive industry’s rapid changes. Dealers of new and used cars can select from a range of easy-to-use, affordable units which add value for money to the vehicle. Whilst private car owners can upgrade and customise a suitable Lumina Audio head unit with updateable maps, Smartphone integration, reverse camera, and more. OEM takes care of the installation* or will ship to the end customer, whichever is easiest for the customer.
Navigation
For up-to-date navigation, our recommendation is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A genuine version of this software is built into some of the Lumina Audio models. Your preferred Navigation app on your smartphone will run through your head unit. Use the Maps at the same time as the radio plus you can access other apps on your phone via voice control. For example, send texts, enjoy podcasts, Spotify, etc. Smartphone integration is the best system, cost-effective, and easy to use. Google Maps app has a use offline feature. Save map when connected to WiFi for use when you don’t want to use data.
Range
OEM stock a huge range of Lumina Audio units with a universal fit as well as models for specific vehicles. Car stereos with a universal fit are popular with dealers who like to keep a surplus in stock, and order fitting kits as required. The BTN 301 and 315 units now have over 45 different fitting kits and the OEM installers enjoy the versatility of these multimedia units. OEM also stock Lumina Audio solutions for cars where no other option exists. Our Dash Top boxes offer all the features of a built-in head unit but sit on the dash.
Call quality
We use a top-class external microphone in the majority of our head units for better call quality. An external microphone is superior and is standard in nearly all our modern automotive head units.
Great looks
Nationwide independent installers say the Lumina Audio head units fit and integrate better than many other options on the market. With clean lines and great-looking fitting kits, a Lumina Audio multimedia unit looks like it was supposed to be there and the bigger screen gets the thumbs up.
Two-year warranty
Our devices have a two-year warranty when installed professionally.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT APPLE CARPLAY/ANDROID AUTO

Enjoy hands-free help through voice-controlled virtual assistants ‘Hey Siri’ or ‘Hey Google’.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are popular with drivers wanting in-car technology to enhance the driving experience. Both offer up to date maps, Spotify playback, I heart Radio, podcasts and access to tested safe applications.
This technology is now used by all major new car manufacturers. We think the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto systems outshine most other infotainment systems. And are built-in to most OEM Audio BTN multimedia head units.
