Want Apple CarPlay in Your BMW? Parking Sensors on Your Land Rover? Ambient Lighting in Your Patrol? We Retrofit It — Fully Integrated, No Warning Lights, in Abu Dhabi
Many vehicles leave the factory — or arrive in the UAE as import or lower-specification models — without features that the higher specification versions include as standard. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 360-degree parking cameras, parking sensors, ambient interior lighting, electric tailgate operation, automatic folding mirrors, heated seats, head-up display, and dashcams are all features that car owners in Abu Dhabi regularly want to add to vehicles that were not built with them.
The difference between a proper retrofit and an aftermarket add-on is integration. Any workshop can fit a generic aftermarket reverse camera or a clip-on dashcam. What we do at Muller Motors is different — we source the genuine OEM hardware or high-quality equivalent components designed specifically for your vehicle and integrate them fully into your existing electrical system, infotainment unit, and vehicle coding. The result looks and works exactly as if the feature came from the factory. No loose wires hanging behind the dashboard. No mismatched switches. No warning lights. No compromise.
APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO
We activate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on vehicles that have the hardware built in but not enabled — a common situation on many BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen models. For vehicles that require a hardware upgrade, we install compatible CarPlay modules that integrate with your existing screen and steering wheel controls, giving you full smartphone connectivity through your factory display.
REVERSE CAMERA & 360° SURROUND VIEW
We install and fully integrate reverse cameras and 360-degree surround view systems into vehicles that were not factory-fitted with them. The camera feed connects directly to your existing infotainment screen — or we install a compatible display where required — and the image appears automatically when reverse is selected. All installations are coded into the vehicle's electrical system with no loose connections or external units.
PARKING SENSORS — FRONT & REAR
We fit front and rear parking sensors that integrate with your vehicle's existing buzzer system or infotainment display. For vehicles with compatible platforms, we code the sensors into the body control module so they behave exactly as factory-fitted sensors — including automatic deactivation when not needed and integration with parking camera views.
AMBIENT INTERIOR LIGHTING
Ambient interior lighting transforms the feel of your car's cabin at night and is one of the most popular retrofit requests at Muller Motors. We install OEM-style LED ambient lighting systems in door panels, footwells, centre consoles, and dashboard areas — coded to your vehicle's lighting system so they respond to your brightness and colour controls where supported.
DASHCAM HARDWIRING & INSTALLATION
A dashcam hardwired properly to your vehicle's electrical system records continuously without draining your battery, powers on automatically with the ignition, and stays hidden within your interior trim. We hardwire dashcams neatly to your fuse box, route cables invisibly inside your roof lining and A-pillar trim, and configure parking mode recording where the dashcam supports it.
PERFORMANCE & COMFORT UPGRADES
Beyond electronics, we carry out a range of performance and comfort retrofit upgrades including sport exhaust system installation, suspension upgrade fitting, cold air intake installation, tow bar fitting and electrical coding, electric tailgate motor installation, heated seat element installation, and seat massage system retrofits — all coded and integrated properly into your vehicle.
Retrofit & Feature Integration in Abu Dhabi — Our Approach and Why It Makes the Difference
The retrofit market in Abu Dhabi is full of quick-fit aftermarket solutions — clip-on screens, wireless adapters, stick-on sensors, and plug-in modules that promise factory-level results but deliver something very different. These solutions look out of place, interfere with existing systems, trigger warning lights on your dashboard, and in some cases cause electrical faults that cost more to fix than the retrofit itself was worth.
At Muller Motors, we approach every retrofit job the way a factory engineer would approach it. We start by confirming whether your specific vehicle model and year supports the retrofit natively — meaning the hardware connector points already exist in your vehicle’s wiring loom. For vehicles with native support, we source genuine OEM components from the manufacturer’s parts network and activate the feature through proper coding using the correct software tool. The result is indistinguishable from a factory-fitted option.
For vehicles where native support does not exist, we use high-quality integration modules that are specifically engineered for your vehicle platform — not generic adapters. These modules communicate correctly with your vehicle’s CAN bus system, respond to your existing controls, and do not generate spurious fault codes. We then code the installation into your vehicle’s configuration so it operates as a properly integrated system.
Every retrofit at Muller Motors ends the same way — with a full diagnostic scan to confirm zero new fault codes, a live demonstration of every function, and your vehicle returned to you in exactly the same condition it arrived in, except with a new feature that works exactly as it should.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit in Abu Dhabi
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are among the most requested retrofits at Muller Motors. Car owners across Abu Dhabi with BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, Audis, Volkswagens, and other European and Japanese vehicles regularly discover that their infotainment system has the physical hardware for CarPlay — the screen, the USB port, the processor — but that the software feature was not activated when the car was built or sold in the region.
In these cases, activating CarPlay requires nothing more than a software coding change through the correct manufacturer tool. We carry out this activation in a single visit, typically taking under an hour, and the result is full native Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration through your factory screen with no additional hardware required.
For vehicles that do not have native CarPlay support in their infotainment hardware, we install purpose-built CarPlay integration modules that connect to your existing screen's video input or replace the factory head unit with a compatible unit that maintains all existing vehicle functionality — steering wheel controls, climate display, reversing camera, and parking sensor display — while adding a full CarPlay and Android Auto interface.
