About AUDIO CITY

New Zealand’s Leading Car Audio Installation & European Car Programming Specialist

Audio City is a trusted name in New Zealand for professional Car Audio installation and European car software conversion services.
With workshops based in Christchurch and Auckland, we provide nationwide service covering everything from Japanese car stereo upgrades to advanced European vehicle programming and wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto installations.

Japanese Car Audio Installation & Upgrade

We specialize in car stereo installation and speaker replacement for Japanese vehicles, as well as reverse camera and parking sensor installations.

We are an authorized dealer of premium brands including:
German GRUNDIG (Germany) and USA SOUNDSTREAM (USA)

Our focus is on installation craftsmanship, product quality, and OEM compatibility — ensuring you get the best in-car audio experience possible.

All installations are completed on the same day, and every unit and wiring harness we use is genuine branded equipment.
We strictly avoid no-brand, low-quality, or reassembled stereos often found on AliExpress or Temu.

At Audio City, our philosophy is simple:

provide the best experience possible.
A good head unit equals a great driving experience — and we stand by that.

Japanese-Imported European Car Map & Radio Conversion

Audio City is New Zealand’s leading expert in map and radio frequency conversion for Japanese-imported European cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche.

Navigation conversion & Update to NZ

We use a pure software-based conversion method —
NO hardware replacement required.

Our service includes:

Map conversion: from Japan maps to New Zealand maps
Radio frequency adjustment: to NZ standard 76–108 MHz
Hidden feature activation: enabling OEM CarPlay, Android Auto, 360° cameras, and more
Full OEM system retention: keeping all original features intact

With years of experience, Audio City has become the trusted authority in NZ for software-based conversions on Japanese-imported European vehicles.

We are the ONLY company in New Zealand capable of converting OEM European car navigation systems to New Zealand maps via software programming only.
Other workshops can only install aftermarket add-ons — which are expensive, unstable, and non-OEM.
Our solution keeps everything original, stable, and perfectly integrated.

Our experienced technicians have successfully installed systems in hundreds of vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Maserati, and Lamborghini.

The CarPlay modules we use are the best-performing and most stable on the market.
With over a thousand installations completed, we also supply other Car Audio workshops across New Zealand.
