    Absolutely Thrilling Experience! I just had an XTRONS Android head unit installed in my 2006 Mercedes-Benz E350, and I'm beyond blown away! The team turned my aging luxury sedan into a modern tech beast with seamless integration and zero headaches. From the moment I walked in, the staff was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely excited about the project. They walked me through the XTRONS unit's features--Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, crystal-clear backup cam, and lightning-fast navigation--and made sure every function worked flawlessly. The install? Immaculate. No cut wires, no rattles, no warning lights. The bezel fits like it came from the factory, and the CANbus integration kept all my Mercedes features intact. Boot-up is snappy, the touchscreen is buttery smooth, and the sound quality? These guys aren't just installers--they're car audio artists. Worth every penny and then some. My E350 feels like a 2025 model now. Highly recommend! I'll be back for the subwoofer upgrade next.

    Perfect fits!

    I recently had an alarm, amplifier and Sub installed into my truck and it was one of the best install experiences I've had to date. I've had a bad experience before at another local stereo shop in Waipahu and was reluctant to go back to an independent stereo installer because of that, but my friend 'J" whose Car company J&J Auto is right next-door said that the guys at car audio and security specialist are cool and very professional. Another friend of mine just got his sub and amp installed there and that convinced me that that this was the shop to go so I started the conversation onYelp. Jon Q answered all my questions on Yelp (and I had a lot of questions) with a quote that was very reasonable so I set the appointment time. When I came into the shop, I was greeted by MJ. He was really cool. Didn't try to upsell me. We have all gone into stereo shops and asked questions about product and the person over the counter immediately either makes you feel like your total noob or they talk down to you like you're dumb and just try to upsell you but MJ did not do that, he asked me what I was interested in and what equipment it would be used for so I let him know about my sub. He asked me my budget and help me get an amplifier with the specs I wanted in my budget and I really appreciated that. Jon Q handle my install, and he did such an amazing job. His work was so clean, he then pointed out extra features that he hooked me up with my alarm install that I didn't know I even wanted, ha! That was above and beyond what I expected. A lot of times when you get something installed, they just want you in and out and do the minimum amount of work, but I felt like car audio, and security were really trying to do a quality job. They uninstalled my old Alarm, (the one that I didn't want with the fat FOB) and my old blown powered subwoofer and all the wiring involved and then installed my new alarm and amplifier and concealed my new subwoofer exactly where I wanted it. For them to do that they had to take out this plastic liner behind my seat, for them to do that they had to take out my seats, all this within the budget that was agreed to, with no up charge after the initial. I will definitely go back to them for any other installation needs and encourage anyone else to do the same. Initially, the main reasons why I was interested in this company was it was close to my work, but after checking their yelp reviews, then asking my friend whose shop is next-door to them and asking if they're cool people and then another friend saying he just had his Sub installed there,.. that was the confirmation that I needed that I found the right place and after all that was said and done, they were correct. Very satisfied with my install!, they really are the car audio and security specialist!

    You'll find the best people and great service at the wonderful new location at 2020 Republican Street

    Ash and his team of top installers always impress me! It all starts with scheduling. You can bring your vehicle in when it's convenient for you and drive away with your new sounds in less than an hour. Amazing problem solving skills! They're open 7 days a week and work hard eacg and every one of those days! Best prices and selection for audio and security systems in town. Thanks for the clean install and great sounding system. The Honda Odyssey is bumping again. Ready to go back into the Turo rotation. The new location is bigger and better. You're going to love it! Awesome showroom and install bay. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!

From the very beginning, Tracy in the office was professional, welcoming, and extremely helpful when I first called to inquire. She made the entire process feel easy and well organized. Ryan, the owner, is knowledgeable, honest, and truly takes pride in his work. He explained everything clearly and made thoughtful recommendations without any pressure. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and his commitment to doing the job correctly, even when it required additional components to ensure everything worked perfectly with my car. Chris, Ryan's right-hand man, did an excellent job with the installation. The workmanship is clean, seamless, and looks like it came from the factory. You can tell they take great care in what they do. I initially planned to install Apple CarPlay, but ended up upgrading my backup camera and adding a radar-based blind spot detection system as well. Everything works beautifully, and my sound system still sounds just as good as before--which was very important to me. This is not a place that cuts corners. They focus on quality, and it shows in the final result. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy team for car audio or technology upgrades, I highly recommend Mobile Car Audio. Thank you again to Ryan, Tracy, and Chris for such a great experience.
