I need someone to help with an installed and went on Yelp in the walnut area and found custom audio designs with their great reviews and though I give it a try. I needed to install the dashboard screen (aftermarket head unit) installed for my parents' Honda Civic and found Custom Audio Design through Yelp. After reading the reviews, I decided to give them a try and I'm really glad I did. Art and his team were incredibly helpful from start to finish. He provided a free estimate upfront and clearly explained the options, pricing, and what would work best for our car no pressure, just honest guidance. The installation itself was smooth and professionally done, and the new system works great. What really stood out was the level of service after the install. My parents had a bit of a learning curve with the new screen, and Art took the time to patiently walk them through everything until they felt comfortable. In terms of value, I felt the pricing was fair for the quality of work, clean install, and customer service we received. It didn't feel like a rushed job they actually care about doing it right and making sure you leave confident using your system. Overall, a great experience. Everything is working perfectly thanks to Art and his team. I would definitely come back and highly recommend them to anyone looking for car audio or dashboard upgrades. read more

Custom Audio Designs - Thanks Art & team for helping my parents! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Walnut, California

Custom audio designs did a great job installing my aftermarket lights, and did it quickly and for a very competitive price. I'd originally installed the lights with my car-hobbyist brother, but since we're not professionals, we didn't know we needed resistors in order to prevent the lights from blowing out the power (which ended up happening a couple months later.) Custom Audio Designs reinstalled the lights (the correct way!) and I'm so happy to have my cooler lights back read more

Custom Audio Designs - Dash cam VIOFO A119 Pro Mini - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Walnut, California

I've been installing car stereos and audio equipment in my own vehicles since the late '90s, so I'm pretty particular about who I trust to work on my cars. Henry at Custom Audio Designs installed the stereo in my 2024 Bronco Raptor and also helped me wire a roof-mounted light bar. From start to finish, he was responsive, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with. I didn't mind jumping in and helping a bit, and he was completely comfortable talking through the setup--always a good sign when someone actually knows what they're doing. What really stood out to me was how dialed-in he was. I already had a clear idea of how I wanted everything wired, but I like to play dumb sometimes just to see what someone recommends. Henry had everything spec'd out immediately, including the exact hidden amp location I would've chosen myself--something other shops would have easily charged double for. The wiring was clean, the install was fast, and the speakers were calibrated perfectly. His pricing is extremely compelling for the level of work you get, without feeling like corners are being cut. On top of that, he's just a good guy--hospitable, hardworking, and straightforward. You really don't find many people like this in the car audio world anymore. Henry runs his company and does the installs himself (with help from a knowledgeable assistant), which shows in the quality of the work. My next project will absolutely be going back to him, and I'll be recommending him to anyone I know without hesitation. Can't say enough good things--he's legit. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but they deserve one. I came in to install a front bumper camera integrated into my Bronco screen. Henry quoted me such a great price and he did such an amazing job. Him and his installer (Art) went above and beyond to sort everything out for me. There was an issue with the module (not their fault, it was a faulty module) and they fixed the issue with time, patience, and knowledge. They're so experienced and detailed with everything. Don't hesitate to come here!! read more

Listen, Henry and his team did a great job installing a really nice WiFi Pioneer CarPlay stereo and speakers on my 99 4Runner. I love it, great guy. He was also able to install a custom USB port that I brought into him. Just a chill dude who's great at what he does, there's a Starbucks around the corner that I just chilled at while he worked. Thank you Henry!!! read more

Henry is the owner and super kind and helpful. I got my Viofo Dashboard installed and they did such a smooth job on it and at a great price! The shop is clean too. It was about an hour and half to get the dashcam hardwired in, and I just waited at their front office. I've been meaning to get this done for months, and I'm so happy I finally got it done. Looks great and hidden! Thanks guys! read more

If you've got time and interest to read, carry on. If not, proceed to last paragraph. Thanks! We Just got a certified used 2012 Honda Civic for our HS senior. Back when we were high schoolers ourselves, we would've been happy with any banged up, basic sedan. I was driving a stick shift Herbie beetle with a broken handbrake, missing wipers, and a driver door that opened every time I made a left turn. Times were different then, much simpler, much safer imo. Now as parents, we are consumed with worry about the safety of our children (now new adults) especially behind the wheel and out on the streets. But we can't afford a souped up vehicle for each of them so used cars will have to do. This model has the digital dashboard but it had a CD player with the classic audio jack outlet--not at all compatible with today's ubiquitous smart phones. But we all know how just about anyone these days depend on this 2x4 portable computer. And that is how we've come to Henry who owns and runs Custom Audio Designs. Thanks to fellow Yelpers for their awesome reviews, we sought Henry's business for the purpose of installing a CarPlay system to replace the obsolete appliance that the car came with. While it has been mentioned that you can just walk in, I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Henry. That way, you get service that makes both parties happy. Henry was courteous to me and he provided 2 quotes of paying by cash or by card. I left the car for him to work on in site, walked to the Starbucks in the same business complex and waited for not more than 2 hours. Henry's work was clean and professional. And just like that, my nerves are a little bit at ease knowing my new driver does not have to fumble with her phone for music and directions. The rest will be up to her. Drive safe out there everybody! read more

I got a front & rear dash cam install + hardwire in 1/2026. Sent out a quote request to 10 local shops and these guys were the ones to consistently be helpful and responsive. I had initially mistimed the install date due to getting tint but they were understanding and told me to come back when I'm ready. Wanted to respect their time for getting back to me and answering all my questions so I reached out to them a week later and set up an appointment. They're super chill, really efficient and their work space looked clean and organized. When they talked to me I didn't feel rushed, the whole time it felt really calm. They ended up finishing earlier than what they told me and their pricing was really fair. When I went back to pick up the car, they sat with me and showed me how to operate the camera, how to connect it to my phone, and other settings I can utilize for the camera. They also sell dash cams as well so if you want to go simple with an all in one solution, they can take care of you. I cannot recommend them enough, they do good work. I'm glad to have gone to them. read more

I can see why these guys are consistently getting 5 stars on yelp. They are super responsive on the phone and their prices are fair. I saved 40% from their next competitor when I took my 2 work trucks to get rear view cameras installed today. Did I mention the speed? They finished everything in 2 and a half hours, quality work too. read more

This is the only place I go to when it comes to audio installation services. They do many more services besides any audio installation services if you ask or request for it. So far, they installed my head unit, speakers, dash cam, headliner (which I requested for it since I don't trust any shops), and now the car alarm system. The prices for their service is reasonable, compare to other shops I've been at. Not only they do good quality work, but also customer service is top notch. I highly recommend this place in general. read more

I walked into Henry's shop on the Saturday after Thanksgiving at 10:30 a.m. to inquire about installation of a custom computer system and display, and to check out his new facility. He had moved from a space on Nogales several months ago, and my impression is that this is a much nicer and more spacious, high quality location. Henry was there personally and greeted me with a firm handshake. He checked out the specs of the devices, then he let me know that he can do it and what his hourly rate would be. He looked at my car and was going over some options of where to install the screen in the car. He invited me to bring in the hardware next time and he'll be able to give me an actual estimate. This is the definition of excellent service-- I'm sure he has plenty to do today, but him taking a few minutes out of his morning to just brainstorm a new project that I'm not even paying for yet is great service. That's why I'll be going back and having Henry do this complex project. read more

Got ambient lighting installed in my Bronco and it came out so good! Will definitely be coming back here for all my other upgrades I do.

I called Henry for a quote on an Apple CarPlay and back up camera installation for my daughter's car. He was very knowledgeable over the phone, it's an older car, but he knew all about it and what would work best. Brought it to him the next day and within a few hours, my daughter had Apple CarPlay and a back up camera. He was professional, helpful, and affordable. At no time did he try to upsell me to something I didn't need or charge me for extras. We're very happy with the quality of his work and feel that the price was incredibly fair. Would recommend him to friends and neighbors. read more

Just dropping a quick review. Excellent communication from Henry from the get go. Had them install and hardwire a dash cam as well as a radar theft protector for a CRV hybrid which involved some drilling. Very reasonable prices, great job on the installation. They also took the time to teach me how to connect the dash to my phone, and how to use all it's functions. Everyone was super friendly, definitely would recommend you to check them out! read more

Henry is a magician, he responded well after business hours with clear understanding of my project and not just the typical "we'll take a look" just to get me in the door. No pressure, no upselling just good knowledgeable quick service at a fair price. Well worth the visit and the time to write this read more

Great service!! Helped me figure out which dash cams worked best for my car and very quick response.

We upgraded my son's 2016 CR-V with a new wireless Apple CarPlay system, and the difference is unbelievable. The audio is crisp, powerful, and a huge improvement over the original setup. Even better, the installation was done so professionally that everything blends in perfectly, as if it were part of the car's original design. Truly exceptional work! read more

Just went here to get my stereo fixed. They were able to take me in last minute (and on a Friday) sorry to be that person! loved the service I got here. When I called I got a response right away.

I appreciate this small business and the high-quality service they provided. read more

The navigation screen on my Lexus went black after my battery lost charge, Lexus dealer wants to charge me $800 to check what's wrong with it, and my usual garage said he could not do much because he can't deal with electrical .. I looked up Yelp and found Henry , he responded my message and we set up a time to have my car looked at , sure enough he was able to figure out that I needed to have the electrical System rebooted after battery change, and that is all it took ! He charged me 1 million dollars for it (haha no !! ) I paid $50 for him to check and reboot it and I was on my way home and felt like a million bucks because of Henry I didn't have to over pay the dealership !!! Going back to have him install my dash cam's back camera and hard wire the system this weekend ! I will be coming here if I ever need to change my battery again and will recommend him to all my friends !! read more
