Product Spotlight: WeatherTech FloorLiners

WeatherTech FloorLinersWhen it comes to keeping the carpet in your new car or truck looking like new, no product on the market offers better protection than a set of WeatherTech FloorLiners from Ocala Car Audio. These floor mats are designed and constructed to match the contour of the floor of the vehicle for a perfect fit that will keep dirt, sand and debris away from your carpet. Let’s look at what makes these floor mats the best.

Custom Designed For Each Application

WeatherTech FloorLinersWeatherTech is based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, and its people work hard to make sure that the materials and products they sell use American resources wherever possible. Each FloorLiner application starts with a three-dimensional laser scan of the vehicle. The scan includes the location of retaining clips, fuel door and trunk release levers, the dead pedal and the contour of the floor. WeatherTech’s team of engineers takes this scan and creates a model of the vehicle interior. From that, they design a floor mat that offers as much protection as reasonably possible. The sides of the mat extend up the firewall and center hump of the vehicle, as well as into the door sills in many applications. The goal is to provide as much coverage and protection as possible.

Premium Materials Ensure Excellent Reliability

Each floor mat is injection molded using nationally sourced materials to create WeatherTech’s proprietary thermopolyolefin (TPO) synthetic rubber. This material stays durable on the hottest of Florida summer days and can withstand a trip to New York or Maine on the coldest days of winter. The surface of WeatherTech FloorLiners has a textured finish that prevents you and your passengers from slipping when getting in or out of the vehicle. Any factory floor mat retainers are repurposed to keep everything securely in place.

FloorLiner mats are available in several colors, including black, grey and tan, and include front, rear and third-row applications. WeatherTech even offers trunk and cargo area mats to help keep your car looking like new. If you are interested in keeping the interior of your vehicle clean and maintaining its resale value, drop by Ocala Car Audio and ask about WeatherTech FloorLiners. You can also reach us by e-mail using our contact page.

New Car Necessities from Ocala Car Audio

New Car NecessitiesIf you have recently purchased a car, truck or SUV, drop by Ocala Car Audio and talk to us about new car necessities. From window tinting for added comfort to paint protection or floor mats to keep your vehicle looking like new, our team can help you personalize your new car or truck to make it suit your needs. Let’s look at a few of the new car accessories that are popular with our clients.

Automotive Window Tint

One of the premier services we offer is window tinting, whether you want the driver and passenger windows to match the privacy glass on the rear window of your truck, or are interested in a premium UV- and heat-rejecting film like 3M Crystalline to make your vehicle safer and more comfortable. Our technicians are fanatical about ensuring each installation is performed to only the highest standards of  craftsmanship and attention to detail. You can be confident that your vehicle will look great and you won’t have to worry about the film peeling, bubbling or turning purple.

Protect Your Vehicle with Paint Protection Film

New Car NecessitiesIf you care about your car or truck, then adding a durable layer of paint protection film is the best way to prevent stone chips or paint damage from lovebugs or scuffs and scratches. Paint protection film, also called clear bra, is an incredibly durable urethane film that bonds directly to your vehicle’s paint surface. The film absorbs impacts and prevents stains from aging the look of your car or truck.

The films we install resist stains from tree sap, road tar and bug splatter. The UV-blocking characteristics also make them a great solution for protecting headlight lenses from yellowing and fading. They even have self-healing properties to ensure your vehicle continues to look amazing!

Remote Car Starters for Added Comfort

While most people associate a remote starter with the cold weather up North, they are a perfect solution for making your vehicle is comfortable when it’s hot out. Starting your vehicle remotely a few minutes before you want to leave gives your air conditioner a chance to cool off the interior. Remote starters are an ideal solution for anyone with young children or older clients who may experience breathing problems when they get into a hot vehicle.

WeatherTech and Husky Liner Protection Products

We don’t get snow and slush, but sand from the beach or dirt from a construction site can quickly make the interior of your vehicle messy. WeatherTech Floor Liners and Husky Liner X-Act Contour and Weatherbeater floor mats conform to the footwell of your vehicle to protect the carpet from dirt or spills. The mats are durable and can handle the heat and humidity that comes along with being in Florida to ensure your vehicle continues to look great.

Ocala’s New Car Necessities Experts

Even if you have no plans to upgrade the sound system in your new vehicle, drop by Ocala Car Audio to find out how we can enhance the comfort and style of your vehicle while adding protection that will keep it looking great for years. One of our product specialists would be happy to inspect your vehicle and help you choose the new car necessities that are tailored specifically to your lifestyle. For more information, give us a call or send us an e-mail using our online contact page.

Leather Upgrades Now Available at Ocala Car Audio

Leather UpgradesOcala Car Audio offers leather upgrades for classic and late-model car, truck and SUV seating surfaces. Whether you’ve put your trusted daily driver through the wringer or want to add some style and a personal touch to your weekend cruiser, we have a solution for nearly every application. Let’s look at a few of the options available to make the interior of your vehicle look like new.

Vehicle-Specific Leather Upgrades

Leather UpgradesOur leather upgrades aren’t just slip-on generic seat covers. We provide a complete upholstery replacement solution. Each seat will be removed from your vehicle and disassembled on a workbench. The existing upholstery is removed, and we check the condition of the brackets and springs. New leather upholstery is sewn together using templates specific to the year, make, model and trim level of your vehicle. Finally, we install the new upholstery and work it into position for a wrinkle-free fit that looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. The result is the type of perfection you have come to know and expect from Ocala Car Audio.

Interior Customization Options

Leather UpgradesYou have your choice of more than 100 leather colors. We can source perforated duo-tone leathers, tooled leather, exotic synthetics and super-soft suede materials. Pick the color you want or choose a two-tone design in a pattern that suits you. We can add an accent piping or stitching color for a little extra style, or you can choose custom embroidery and embossing for a unique, modern look. Diamond or double-diamond stitching is also available or the center panels. If you have a Jeep or want a rugged off-road look for your truck, we can provide authentic Realtree AP-XTRA and MAX-5 patterned synthetic leather materials.

Add Comfort to Your Ride

While we have your seats apart, we can install seat heaters to give your back a break after a long day at work or a cooling system to help refresh you. Ask us about adding a remote car starter to your vehicle to make getting into your car or truck more comfortable and much safer on a hot summer day.

Ocala’s Automotive Enhancement Experts

Don’t trust your car or truck to just anyone. Removing the seats from a late-model car requires knowledge of how airbag and safety systems work. Our technicians work with the electronics in cars and trucks every day. We have the tools, training and processes to ensure that your upgrade looks flawless and that your vehicle’s interior is reassembled to look perfect and function reliably.

Popular Backup Camera Solutions Available At Ocala Car Audio

Backup Camera SolutionsIf you wish you had eyes in the back of your head, drop by Ocala Car Audio and check out our backup camera solutions. Backup camera systems aren’t just a great idea: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants all new vehicles to include a rear-facing camera system. Given the staggering number of accidents and injuries that happen every day, we have to agree. Let’s look into how we can upgrade your safety and the safety of those around your vehicle.

How Does a Backup Camera System Work?

Backup Camera SolutionsBackup camera solutions are relatively simple. We will install a weather-resistant camera on the back of your vehicle. The location is chosen to work in concert with the camera’s wide field of vision to help identify objects that are directly behind or even off to the side of the vehicle.

The secondary part of the system is the display. We offer a wide variety of display solutions and work with each client to find a display option that is easy to use and blends both functionally and cosmetically with their vehicle.

The image from the camera appears on the screen as soon as the transmission is in reverse. There are no additional buttons to press. Day or night, you can see everything behind the vehicle in detail.

Camera Mounting Options

We offer a wide variety of camera mounting and integration solutions for our clients. We have license plate frame mounting brackets and stand-alone mounting solutions for lip and flush-mount applications.

Backup Camera SolutionsIf you own a pickup truck, several of our product partners offer replacement tailgate handles that feature a built-in camera. Likewise, we have third brake light assemblies with integrated cameras for SUVs, vans and trucks. Finally, Jeep Wrangler owners can choose from several mounting options that locate a camera inside the spare tire on the rear door.

Image Display Options

Being able to see the camera image is crucial to the functionality of the system. We have four image display options available for our clients.

  • Aftermarket Source Unit: If we are upgrading your vehicle with a multimedia receiver to add CarPlay or Android Auto, we can easily display the rearview camera image on the color display.
  • Factory Infotainment System: Thanks to companies like VOXX, VAIS, Metra and PAC, we can feed the image from an aftermarket camera to the color display on many factory-installed color screens.
  • Rearview Mirror Display: One of our most popular display options is a new rearview mirror that includes an integrated color LCD screen. When the camera system is off, the mirror looks just like the one that came with your vehicle. Once the camera activates, the image is visible through the mirrored surface.
  • Stand-Alone Monitor: If there are no other options, or you want a large display, we can install a stand-alone screen to display the camera image. We have screen size options from 3.5 inches to more than 10 inches to suit almost any application.

Ford F-150 Power Windows, Locks and Bed Cover for Ocala Couple

A local couple brought their recently purchased base-model Ford F-150 pickup to Ocala Car Audio in Ocala, Florida for a few upgrades. The trunk didn’t have power window and power locks. The couple also wanted to add a tonneau cover and a paint protection solution. We went over several options to develop a solution for them. Once we agreed on a plan, we scheduled an appointment to get started.

We used a Spal 33000030 Deluxe Power Window Kit to replace the manual window cranks with electric motors. To accent the kit, we chose the Spal 33040128 Illuminated switch kit with frame. This kit provides illuminated driver and passenger switches on the driver’s side and a single switch on the passenger side.

For power locks, we used Spal 37000007 solenoids in each door and an Avital 3100L to control them.

The clients chose an Extang 83480 Solid Fold 2.0 cover to protect the 6.5′ truck bed. We also installed 3M Scotchgard Pro paint protection film to the leading edge of the hood and fenders. Paint Protection Film is much more subtle than a convnetional bug deflector.

The couple was thrilled with the upgrades. If your vehicle needs new features or options, drop by or contact us HERE.

Jeep Wrangler Power Steps and Backup Camera for Ocala Client

Jeep Wrangler Power Steps

A client from here in Ocala, FL, stopped by Ocala Car Audio with his 2017 Jeep Wrangler to inquire about adding a backup camera and upgrading the side steps on the truck. We showed him several options for steps, including tubular, extruded and motorized models. The client liked the idea of the motorized steps. We also showed him a camera option. He agreed to our quotation, so we scheduled an appointment to do the work.

We installed an Automotive Integration Solutions Jeep Wrangler backup camera kit. The camera mounts on the rear spare tire carrier and positions the camera between two of the spokes of the spare tire. This location provides a clear view behind the Jeep.

For steps, we installed an AMP Research PowerStep kit, which was designed specifically for the four-door JK chassis. The steps motorize down when a door is opened, then automatically retract 3 seconds after the last door is closed. This step kit is rated for 600 pounds and carries a five-year warranty.

The client loved the way the steps worked and was amazed that we were able to connect a camera to his factory radio.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Audio Upgrade For Ocala Client

Silverado 2500HD AudioA local business owner from here in Ocala, Florida, dropped by Ocala Car Audio with his wife to talk about making some upgrades to this 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. The truck was to be a gift for their son’s 16th birthday, and they wanted an audio system and some accessories installed as a holiday present. The client found us through our website and online reviews. We put together a proposal for the client and, on his approval, scheduled an appointment to begin work on this Silverado 2500HD audio upgrade.

Starting from the Front

The addition of the Kenwood radio gives this truck top-of-the-line technology and features.

The front camera was flush mounted in the bumper.

The client chose a Kenwood eXcelon DNX893S double-DIN source unit. This unit features a 7-inch screen and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. We installed the Kenwood unit using a Best Kits BKGMK317 mounting kit and integrated the radio with the vehicle data bus using an Idatalink Maestro RR module. The module provides audio connectivity and vehicle access functions on the screen of the Kenwood.

The Kenwood radio has dual camera inputs. We used the rear factory camera and added a front camera from AIS. We mounted the LCCAM1 front camera in the center of the front bumper. The rear camera shows on the screen as soon as the vehicle is in reverse. The client just has to tap a button to bring up the camera image and can easily toggle between the front and rear camera displays.

JL Audio Amplifiers, Speakers and Subwoofers

With the seat down it looks like the enclosure could be a factory option.

We ran three sets of Memphis Car Audio 17-etp-12 interconnects from the source unit to a pair of JL Audio HD Series amplifiers. We used an HD600/4 to drive the front, and rear speakers and an HD750/1 to power the subwoofer enclosure. We used a T-Spec v10-rak4 V10 Series 4-AWG power kit to connect the amplifiers to the battery under the hood and a Stinger SPD570 power and ground distribution block to split power delivery between the pair of amplifiers. Our team mounted the amplifiers to a panel on the rear wall of the truck.

The client chose a set of JL C3-650 convertible components for the front of the truck. We mounted the midrange in the door on BKGMSB356 adapter plates after applying a thorough layer of Roadkill sound-damping material to the door. The sound-damping dramatically improves the performance of the speaker by sealing off any openings in the door that might allow cancellation of bass and midbass frequencies. For rear speakers, the client chose JL Audio C3-525 speakers that drop right into the factory locations.

The client wanted much better bass performance from his new system. We ordered a JL Audio SB-GM-SLVCC2/12TW3/BK Stealthbox for the Chevy. This enclosure fits perfectly under the rear bench seat of the truck and is home to a pair of 12TW3 subwoofers.

Cosmetic and Lighting Upgrades

Even the third brakelight and bed light got a lighting upgrade!

The cosmetic upgrades began with the installation of a CarID aluminum interior trim kit. We prepped all the surfaces with wax and oil remover before mounting everything using the provided two-sided tape.

The factory headlights on the truck were starting to fade and simply did not look “fresh” any longer. We looked at several lighting options for the truck before finally settling on Anzo 111281 replacement headlights. These light assemblies feature dual projectors and a U-bar accent strip around each one. We installed a set of Racesport H1 and H3 HID headlight upgrade kits to provide maximum light output.

The client also requested a set of Anzo 311226 smoked LED tail-light assemblies for the truck. These look much better than the factory lights and make the truck look newer than it is.

The last component was an Anzo 531067 third brake light and truck bed light. This light uses LEDs for excellent output and efficiency.

Silverado 2500 Audio and Lighting Upgrade Delivery

The client and his family returned to Ocala Car Audio to pick up his truck and listen to the new audio system for the first time. They were stunned by how much better the system sounded. They said it was not only a lot louder and had more bass, everything was clearer and had more detail.

If you are interested in upgrading the audio system in your car or truck, drop into our store, call us at 352-512-9897 or send us an e-mail HERE for more information.

Ocala Dodge Durango Leather and Technology Upgrades

This Ocala client was referred to us by Alea Leather for a Dodge Durango leather interior upgrade.  After spending some time with the client, learning more about his new vehicle, we found there were a few more things he wanted to upgrade.

We started with installing the leather package from Alea Leather. The client liked the Police Interceptor aspects of his ride, so we embroidered the headrests with the logo. To give the client many more audio sources, as well as a screen for viewing a backup camera, we installed a Kenwood DNX892HD double DIN touch screen. To enhance his backing safety, we used a VOXX backup camera as well as VOXX parking sensors.

Once we had the interior freshened up, it was time to protect it. First, our window tint experts installed genuine 3M automotive window film on the Durango’s windows. This film will help protect the new interior from UV rays, as well as drastically reduce the interior temperature during these hot Florida summers. To keep the floor looking new, even during the rainy times, we installed a set of WeatherTech floor liners. These trap water and mud, and keep it from damaging the carpet of the vehicle.

With the work completed, we performed our final vehicle checkout, and then handed the keys over to the client. He loved all of the changes we made to his new ride.

If you would like to learn more about how the professionals at Ocala Car Audio can enhance your ride, stop by today or contact us HERE.
