Transforming the VW T5: Audio and Security Upgrades by B&B Audioconcepts
At B&B Audioconcepts, Cardiff’s trusted audio and security specialists, we recently welcomed a VW T5 owner seeking a comprehensive upgrade for both audio and security systems. The project demanded high-quality equipment, stealthy installation, and cutting-edge security to meet the owner’s needs. Here’s how we transformed the van into a powerhouse of sound and safety.
Stealthy Audio System: Unleashing Loud and Clear Sound
The VW T5 is a popular choice for customisation, but its compact interior demands thoughtful design. This owner wanted a very loud audio system without compromising space. We delivered a stealth installation, ensuring the upgrades were invisible but impactful.
We began with the centrepiece of the system, the Alpine Halo 11 inch multimedia system. This sleek, floating display not only enhances the van’s interior aesthetics but also provides a robust platform for navigation, media streaming, and seamless smartphone integration. We paired the Alpine Halo with a Pioneer rear camera, giving the driver enhanced visibility directly on the Halo’s 11-inch screen for added safety and convenience.
Top 3 Fun Features of the Alpine Halo 11 Inch Multimedia System:
- Customizable Floating Touchscreen Display
The Alpine Halo 11 inch boasts a sleek, floating design with an ultra-responsive touchscreen. You can adjust the screen’s angle and height to perfectly match your driving position, making it as comfortable and user-friendly as possible. Its large 11-inch display ensures crystal-clear visuals for navigation, media, and other functions, creating an immersive in-car experience. - Seamless Smartphone Integration
Enjoy the best of both worlds with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Whether you’re using Siri or Google Assistant, you can control apps, make calls, send texts, and stream music—all hands-free. This makes road trips and daily commutes more enjoyable and convenient, as your favourite playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks are just a tap or voice command away. - Advanced Media and Custom Audio Control
The system supports a wide variety of media formats, including FLAC for high-resolution audio playback. It also features advanced audio tuning options, such as a 13-band parametric equalizer, time correction, and crossover settings. For audiophiles, this means you can tailor the sound to your exact preferences for an unmatched listening experience.
To achieve unparalleled sound quality, we installed XFIRE reference speakers for crisp and balanced audio reproduction. These speakers were powered by an XFIRE 4-channel amplifier, which delivers exceptional clarity even at high volumes. For powerful bass, we integrated a Phoenix Gold subwoofer, ensuring a rich low-end response. Every panel was fully soundproofed with Skinz sound dampening material, minimizing vibrations and road noise to create a pristine audio environment.
Top 3 Unique Features of the Phoenix Gold Subwoofer:
- High-Excursion Design for Deep Bass
The Phoenix Gold subwoofer is engineered with a high-excursion cone and surround system, allowing it to produce incredibly deep, resonant bass. This design enhances low-frequency performance, making it perfect for music lovers who crave a powerful and immersive audio experience without distortion. - Dual Voice Coil Technology
Many Phoenix Gold subwoofers feature dual voice coils, offering flexibility in wiring configurations to match different amplifier setups. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility with various car audio systems, making it a versatile choice for custom installations. - Thermal Management System
Built with advanced cooling technologies, such as vented pole pieces and heat-dissipating materials, the Phoenix Gold subwoofer maintains consistent performance even during extended use. This durability ensures the subwoofer delivers powerful sound reliably, whether you’re on a short drive or a long road trip.
Enhanced Security with Cutting-Edge Solutions
With a high-end audio system onboard, securing the vehicle became paramount. We equipped the VW T5 with a state-of-the-art Thinkware U1000 twin CCTV dash camera. This dual-camera system records in ultra-high definition, covering both front and rear views, providing the owner with comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.
To further enhance security, we installed the Meta S5 Deadlock Tracker. This advanced tracker offers real-time location monitoring via a smartphone app and is Thatcham-approved, ensuring ultimate theft protection. The system also includes a remote immobiliser, allowing the owner to disable the engine remotely in case of unauthorized access.
These combined technologies provide unmatched protection, making the VW T5 a fortress on wheels.
Top 3 Features of the Meta S5 Deadlock Tracker:
- Real-Time Tracking with Remote Immobilisation
The Meta S5 Deadlock Tracker offers precise real-time location tracking via a dedicated smartphone app. Its standout feature is the remote immobilisation, allowing you to disable the engine remotely if the vehicle is compromised. This dual-layer security ensures peace of mind and unparalleled theft protection. - Thatcham S5-Approved for Insurance Benefits
As a Thatcham S5-certified device, the tracker meets stringent UK insurance standards for vehicle security. This certification not only provides top-notch protection but may also qualify vehicle owners for insurance discounts, adding value to its advanced capabilities. - 24/7 Monitoring and Alerts
With 24/7 professional monitoring, the Meta S5 Deadlock Tracker provides immediate alerts for unauthorised movement or tampering. Paired with geofencing capabilities, it keeps you informed of your vehicle’s security status in real time, ensuring rapid response in case of potential theft.
