Default Toronto area audio shop recommendations

Hi all. When I got my 997.1 ('08 911S cab), factory Bluetooth wasn't even an option. Downtown Porsche had an aftermarket Tookie installed.

For the past year or two, the Tookie hasn't worked properly - not to mention that the remainder of the electronics are outdated. I'm now barely driving the car, in part, because of it. I'd like Apple CarPlay, in particular.

I've seen new hardware installed on YouTube videos where they even manage to preserve the volcano gray surround so it doesn't look quite so aftermarket.

Are there any Toronto area shops you'd recommend to do this type of work?

Thanks.

David

Same setup I have on my 997RS. To my knowledge Porsche only does a modernized setup right now up to the 996, so nothing yet for the 997. Not sure of aftermarket.

I used KHF some 7-8 years ago for some custom audio work when they were still on Esna Park Dr in Markham and they were great. They have moved since but AFAIK are still in business.
