Found VMS online and couldn’t be happier. Added CarPlay to my Toyota Yaris, really helps having navigation on the screen and avoid faffing around with my phone on the holder. Great experience with the... See more

Ehsaan and the team came out to fit the CarPlay box onto my Land Rover Discovery while I was getting my hair done at the salon. The Carplay box works perfectly. They even took their time out to test the product and train me on how to use the product. Would recommend.
Excellent service
Excellent service , had apple car play installed and a front and rear dash cam fitted , would not know that it was not a factory installation, no visible cables and works perfectly.

Couldn't recommend anywhere else to go honestly. My car was stripped by thieves and I had to replace all the parts including the wiring. Everything is now back in and rewired, working as expected. If you need anything doing on your car, you won't be disappointed if they can do this.
Ray was brilliant
Ray was brilliant — fixed my dash cam quickly, gave great advice on upgrading my infotainment system, and helped with a few other issues too. Honest, knowledgeable, and far better priced than other service centres. Highly recommend.
Reverse camera and CarPlay install
Ray fitted reversing camera and CarPlay on my 3 series 2016 touring in under an hour. Excellent work and would definitely recommend Ray. Thanks very much!
CarPlay upgrade.
Had CarPlay system fitted for My Alfa & I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From ordering to install the process was so straight forward.
Great bunch of lads who explained everything as it was happening, would highly recommended to all.

I upgrade my Mercedes Android entertainment system, rear view camera,interior ambient light and speakers make my car like new interior and luxury. The sound system and android system is so nice and easy to use. Thanks VMS and the engineer is really good and explains everything. The best guys in Manchester.

When the engineers eventually got to site they did a brilliant job. Replaced my broken unit, then took me through the replacement unit.
Thank you.
5* service
Ray is a great guy, fantastic service and fantastic price! Very knowledgeable guy. After having Apple CarPlay in cars for the past however many years and being told by at least 15 coders that it wasn’t possible to activate, Ray activated it on my car within 15 minutes.
X5 DRL/PARKING LIGHT FAILURE Replacement and Re-coding.
Ray is very professional, efficient, and personable individual - very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
Tread carefully…
Tread carefully…
All seemed well until January (steering wheel controls failed) the company effectively ignored my requests at the time and well life moves on, it’s not my only car etc etc
Now my head unit has died after 14mths, upon contacting the company afresh it transpires they are unwilling or indeed able to service the products they sell and I’m sure it’ll turn out that they are in fact bargain basement Ali-express tat.
Such is life, like I say tread carefully and to rub a little salt into the wound the company flatly refuses to speak with me, hence this review.
Am off to the Jaguar and Audi forums now…
Edited to add subsequent to reply.
You did not offer a discount against a new unit and I quote “We can take £50 from the traditional installation cost of the screen (£160) and offer travel-fee free mobile installation”
2 I did not ask for a free device quote “Any discount? It’s only 14mths old.”
3 for missed communications check your what’s app starting 9th November and then you went quiet on the 9th January.
4 when requesting to speak to a manager the response was and I quote “I've already spoken to him about this, he would tell you the same thing”
As I say tread carefully.

Really happy they installed flawlessly…
Really happy they installed flawlessly no exposed wires or anything like that I would definitely recommend!
Avoid! Using cheap products from Ali express for a fraction of the price! Broken equipment, poor customer service
Where do I begin?
I am absolutely furious with my recent experience having an Android screen, reverse camera, and front/rear dash cams fitted to my car! Immediately after installation, the screen failed to connect to my phone and the car’s entire audio system stopped working, including the reverse sensors and every single noise the car use to make, nothing! Completely quiet. To make matters worse, both dash cams only power on when a door is opened which is completely useless, since they don’t work while actually driving which I thought was the point?
Out of frustration, I looked up the hardware online and found every single component on AliExpress for a fraction of what I was charged. Feeling completely ripped off, I emailed the company to ask about their massive mark-up and wasn’t surprised when they replied: “We could charge 1000% in theory.” That level of arrogance is unbelievable.
I am now over a thousand pounds out of pocket, with an Android screen that failed within 24 hours and dash cams that serve absolutely no purpose. Instead of receiving support, I was met with rudeness and dismissiveness!
If you value your money and sanity, AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS. They are happy to overcharge for cheap products and clearly don’t care about after-sales support or the quality of their installation.
Just to clarify, front & rear dash cams are £55 on aliexpress. I was charged £170
The android screen is £170 on Ali express. I was charged £430!
I appreciate businesses need margins. But when you’re buying and fitting absolute garbage into peoples cars, you expect a little more quality? Maybe im mad!
I’ll be paying a proper company to rip this utter shit out!!

Just had my rear parking sensors fitted on my car, Ray and his team (Antony & didn’t catch the other guys name) did a great job I’m so happy they also fitted my new car stereo for me too as Halfords in Portsmouth wouldn’t do it, being an old car it needed new wiring too and the guys gave extra time to get it done for me, great guys I’m pleased with the work would highly recommend, I’ll definitely use again
