Abbotsford Clients Add Android Auto to 2009 Hyundai Veracruz

November 12, 2016 By Certified Autosound & Security

A husband and wife from Abbotsford, BC, brought their 2009 Hyundai Veracruz to Driven Audio, hoping to find a way to add Android Auto to the radio. We showed them the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX DVD Receiver and let them connect their phone. They immediately fell in love and wanted it in their truck. We used a […]

Excellent customer service and attention to detail. These guys are true professionals!

I was impressed at Shawn's professionalism and patience to suggest and explain the different options that will suit my need. The job was done perfectly and in record time as well. I will definitely go back for other services and will not hesitate to recommend Certified AutoSound.

Stereo Upgrade for Chevy 05

Shawn did a great job describing the product to myself and ensured it would meet my requirements. The auto starter they installed in my car functions great and has every option I wanted. I will definitely be back to Certified Autosound & Security!

They did a great job on some custom dash work and installing under car LED's for me. Highly recommend their work! I will be back for more!

Kristian H.

Quality work, highly recommended! Profound sound and couldn't be happier!

I just had speakers, an amp, and a 10" sub installed this past week in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler . I was especially impressed by the installation of my sub. I was a bit concerned the sub was going to take up additional room in my already small cargo area but left it in the capable hands of Nick and his crew. Much to my surprise the guys worked their magic and created a custom install that blew me away!! Nick and his crew went above and beyond for me, they stayed within my budget and within the time allotted for the install. This is the 2nd vehicle in our household to have work done here in the past few months and would recommend Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford to anyone considering an upgrade to their car audio.

Jamming in my Jeep

I had a problem with my recent install with Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford as I was getting a nasty popping sound every time I turned off my stereo. I thought it was a problem with a new amp but it turned out to be the stereo that was causing a surge in power when turned off. I had previously got this installed by them as well and surprisingly they replaced it with a new unit under warranty, free of charge! Now everything sounds the way it should and I couldn't be happier! Thanks so much guys:) 11/10 Would come again

If you are serious about car audio , then go no further. The absolute professionalism of Nick and his crew is amazing. Nick worked hard to hit my budget, designed a plain but sexy hard pounding wife approved sound system. A switch in just the right place, to turn off the subs and keep me married was just the trick, but when I'm buy myself , well let's just say .... it will be the deaf of me. Thanks Nick and gang.?

Brought in my 07 civic nightmare repair (from work done elsewhere), they got me in the next day and fixed EVERY issue I was having, it was quick and painless!! Thank you guys amazing job! :)

Jess M.

These guys are great! Brought in my 2004 Silverado Diesel to have a previous horrible install of a remote start. All the wiring was fixed and a new better product was installed. My truck was ready for me exactly when they said it was. Couldn't be happier I will be back for sure!

Viper remote start

I just had my 2015 Touareg Sportline “aurally rehabilitated” at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford and I must say, of all the cars I have owned and that is many, the sound post-rehab is the best! I purposely purchased the lowest-end Touareg without the sunroof and Dynaudio for a reason. First, I do not like sunroofs (they are prone to leaking, wind intrusion, decreased safety margin in case of a rollover, etc.) But the basic Touareg has the problem that the audio system is mediocre at best. Being an audiophile, this was clearly not going to work for me. Therefore, I contacted probably half a dozen “high end” automotive audio refurbishers in both the U.S. and Canada, all the way from San Jose, CA to Toronto.. I also investigated the local talent in Vancouver, including one long-standing “stand out” who shall go unnamed and yet another local “expert.” I regret to say that none of these options were acceptable and for different reasons. It is not that all were incompetent (two were, the “local talent.” The U.S. options wanted as much as US$15,000 for their work and the lowest local talent wanted over $5,000 in Canadian dollars. I just intuitively knew there had to be a better deal within driving range. And finally, after much searching and inquiring and serious research I came upon Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford, a literal half-hour in moderate to severe traffic from where i live. I spoke initially with Nick Pocklington, a veritable expert in sound staging and DSP (digital signal processing). He veritably was the first HONEST automotive audio technician I had come across. He told me (honestly) that I did not have to spend a year;s salary to make my existing sound system sound REALLY good, but that what I needed most was a good amplifier and DSP digital signal processor) and I would be amazed at the results. So he made some sagacious recommendations regarding specifically what I needed and would be the result. I, of course, had to conclude whether he was “talking shop” or was on the level. He seemed uncommonly severe and so I decided to take a chance on Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. I spent about seven hours there while they worked on my “Touareg” amd by the time all was done I will have to say the sound is SUPERB, even with the original VW speakers. How is it superb? There is now central staging of the musician/musical band, the bass, mid-range and trelble are accurate and where they should be, and the instrument stagings are SUPERB. To be precise, what should be coming from the right side should be and is and the same for the left. The instruments are all where they should be, in other words. This is the magic of DSP.. So I want to thank Nick Pockinglon, the maestro, Jeff Wong, the wonderfully polite and hospitable gentleman who attended to all my needs while at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford, and Scott, the man who did the insall, for an absolutely incredible job. You can pay much more for your audio upgrade, but you will get much less. Go with the best. Go with Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford.

I have dealt with Future Shop and Best Buy before, they were a nightmare. I went to Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford to get stereo taken out, and wound up getting a new system from them. I talked with Nick and Jeff and they were great, no high pressure sales. They gave me a good price and are both nice guys, none of your typical salesman b.s. Jason did a great job of install and between him and Nick, they showed me how to work it, as I am a dinosaur when it comes to new technology. It's a nice clean shop and a nice store. I recommend these guys and will only get stuff from them in the future.

Trevor Kern

Stopped in without an appointment and they got me in and out with a car installation super fast, very friendly and provided excellent customer service. Highly recommend them without hesitation.

Darren Braun

Awesome service

I received very good service , informational and polite

Stereo system

When our car stereo began to malfunction, we decided we needed to replace it. The radio would turn on as soon as we started the car, and none of the controls would work. Canadian Tire didn’t have a suitable one in stock but also doesn’t install stereos; the clerk recommended Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. Best Buy and London Drugs no longer sell automobile sound systems; both recommended Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. When we went there, Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford had the simple system we needed at a reasonable price. But, intrigued by our system’s problem, Certified Autosound and Security's Jeff Wong took a look at our old unit and managed to reset it, at no charge. The stereo now works fine. However, when it does finally pack it in, there is no question about where we are going to go for a replacement—Certified Autosound and Security.

Jim and Jackie Coggins

I came in with a problem with my stereo thinking I needed to buy a new one but the problem was fixed free of charge and I didn't buy a thing! Great service and I will definitely be back!

Jon S.

This by far is the best company I have ever dealt with.Second to none in all categories.

Brian Johnstone

Best Place ever.

Very pleased with my backup camera and Carplay / Bluetooth stereo set up. When I first started phoning around was drawn to the customer service with the initial phone call. It continued once I entered the show room allowing me to make an informed choice. No pressure sales ------so glad though I decided to have my CarPlay radio hooked up to my steering wheel controls. (even though the Carplay screen was within easy reach) Very happy with my steering wheel controls!!!Highly recommend Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford.

Carplay and Back up Camera

Big thanks to the guys at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford! I went into the shop on a saturday afternoon with my 08 Sierra and came out with exactly what I wanted installed and ready to rock by Monday at 4pm. Couldn't be happier with my new system the guys listened to what I had in mind, threw a system together they thought would meet my needs and thats exactly what I got for a great price!! I was walking to and from my appointment and they even had the courtesy to give me a call with plenty of warning exactly when my truck would be finished. Punctual, great service! Thanks again to the guys at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford.

The gentlemen at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford have installed an overhead monitor and a Clarion sound system in my vehicle to help entertain our many little ones. The kids love being able to watch movies and music calms the savage beast:) Recently the youngest inserted coins into the disc deck which interfered with everything. Thankfully, the coins didn't short circuit and the technicians removed the coins for me. Timely, polite, informative, caring, professional. I will be returning to Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford for anything I need in the future.

Mommy's little helper

My experience with the team at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford has been nothing less than perfect. I was pointed in their direction about 3 years ago and couldn't be happier that I did. They go over and above everything that I have asked them to do and always keep me well informed of anything they think can be improved without hurting the pocketbook and as a customer that is all you can ask for. It's nice to be able to go into a shop and actually want to hang out with the guys and even though they are quite busy they will give me the time to answer any of my many, many, many questions. As for the outcome and delivery of their work, it definitely speaks for itself... just sit in my car now and man am I beyond excited with the results! I was having a lot of problems with the first part of my build (done elsewhere). Nick, in particular took control of the situation and helped turn my system into what it is today. Scott's attention to detail on the install speaks in volume for the overall type of service that you will receive at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. Tony and Jeff have also given me a serious amount of valuable advise when picking and choosing the different gear for my build whether it be an alarm, head unit, amp, speakers or DSP. I highly recommend going to Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford for all your mobile needs, the return in service will speak for it self, guaranteed!

Certified's delivery in service speaks in volume

Went in to get a full sound system in my car, was helped by a man named Devin. Was super helpful with keeping in my budget but also giving me everything I needed. Would recommend to anyone looking to get any sort of audio work done on their vehicle!

Jordan Wright

I've had 12 decks in my car and these guys were the only ones to set my clock and redo my radio preset for my Sirius. It's the little things that stand out. The Mic placement hiding it up near the rear view mirror was ninja!!

Boyd

Nick was great! He re-calibrated my automatic start/lock system on my key fob for my Ford truck. Ford broke it and refused to do anything about it. Nick to the rescue! I live on Vancouver Island and came all the way over to Abbotsford and it was sure worth the trip. Kudos for Nick!!! I have also purchased speakers and had them installed by Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. Excellent service at all times. Thanks again.

Remote Rescued!

I just wanted to say, thanks for being such a responsible and honorable company, they had made a mistake on my 2013 Toyota sienna and the problem was rectified and they bent over backwards to make me happy! was blown-away! the new pioneer stereo was top notch and i would recommend any new car install. Tony the owner is a very cool dude! Probably the best Car audio place in BC to go to. All of the steering wheel controls work with my new deck. Man i feel like a bad ass with my tunes pumping so crisp!..thanks a lot..Robert H.

Robert Hudson

I got the remote starter installed at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford and it works just perfectly. The service was very good and the employees told me everything I needed to know about the remote starter and other things I would like to a get installed in my car. Definitely going to use their services again.

Put a Kenwood AM/FM Bluetooth player in my 1991 Peterbilt dump truck for the hands free. Only $119.00 works great I'm told its clear as a bell. Love it!

Darrell Nash

Needed a sound system for my customized Triumph Speedmaster. They listened to what I wanted, showed me options, delivered an ultra clean installation that kicks out the tunes! They were experienced, accommodating, professional, fair in pricing and a great bunch of lads. My audio system is an enhancement to the looks of my ride and it puts the rock in my roll! Thanks/Cheers to the Brothers at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford, Clay-Bobber.

Dodge Caravan DVD & Kenwood In Dash Receiver Last Year I installed Kenwood - In-Dash Receiver, Remote Start, Backup Camera with the team at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford, Abbotsford. I travelled all the way from Pitt Meadows to Abbotsford to get the thing done. Their price seems to be reasonable and their installation service was very professional. They installed all the above mentioned service within a quick frame of time and doing neat and efficient job. It’s still working great. I am really satisfied with their Professional work and great service. Nick was the person taken care of all my request (from the quotation until the installation work) and he has done a great job. I will highly recommend this place to my friends..

I phoned Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford to get a quote to put my stereo into my van which is a 2002 Chevy Venture. When Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford informed me that my vehicle had the vehicles lights and buzzers running through the radio so I would need additional hardware to bypass this and the total cost would be more than $200, I was upset at Chevy. Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford installed the unit and at the time of install found that the previous owner had already had an after market stereo in it, so the extra parts were there. It would have been easy for them to charge me for the unneeded parts. Integrity in business is so admirable and I'll definitely be back to Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. I am waiting to afford an amplifier and sub woofer. I've recommended them on FB and will definitely spread the word through people I know. I have been burnt so many times in the past. I returned the next day just to thank them for their honesty and integrity. 2 thumbs up!

Amazing service and reasonable prices. Been having issues with crime in the area I live in, so put out leads for quotes for an alarm system in my truck. Got back some quotes but needed a quick installation. Being a licensed mechanic I could of probably did it myself but nahhhh find a shop, reasonably priced and let the pros do it. Sure I got lower quotes from other places, but Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford was able to squeeze me in in short order thankfully. They put in a nice basic Viper system no bells or whistles like I needed. They did just what I needed and being a mechanic I went looking at the work, all I can say is nice and tidy and correctly done. Would I go back to expand the audio system ? I'd have to say yes, and no issues recommending them to my friends when it becomes more than me wiring a deck in the dash or basic speaker replacement. Thank you guys for making my experience a good one and also for getting it done in short order, it's much appreciated.

Ken James

Thank You !! Big boom. Small space. These guys can do the impossible. Reasonable plan set up for this luddite by Mr. Pocklington. He could have sold me way more than I need ... but he didn't. The installation was a three person thing. All day. Again ... amazing. I've been driving this little car on some very rough roads recently. Not a rattle. Not a squeak. No snap-crackle-pop. The install is rock-solid. Thanks guys. Well done. I recommend you highly. And that kid I first spoke with ... on the phone ... he should get a raise. Rick Maddocks

Great Work, Excellent Customer Service I own a 2007 Toyota Matrix. I bought my JVC deck, 6.5" Dragster speakers, and 10" Bazooka tube at different suppliers that were clearing product out. Having installed decks and speakers before I was considering putting everything in myself. With the weather being the way it has been, and not having an interior space to work, I gave up after installing the deck. I was referred to Tony at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford by a friend. He was more than happy to install my stuff, and his installer did a great job. The install on the speakers and subwoofer were top notch professional. The showroom is great and Tony is wealth of information about what is current in the car stereo industry. Overall a very pleasant experience. I recommend highly!!!!

Rob Richards

Completely Outstanding I was recommended to go into Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford to help with getting the parts I needed to get a 12" sub installed in my Honda. Nick was unbelievably helpful! He managed to find out I had purchased the incorrect wiring kit I had already bought elsewehere, and saved me 70$ with getting a new one. And once I had the Sub installed by my friend privately he tuned it to make it sound tip top absolutely free of charge. Great business, trustworthy employees, best you'll find in the Lower Mainland.

Thank You Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford!

Awesome Customer Service! Just wanted to pass on a big thanks to Nick for helping me select a new system for my car that made sense, was reasonably priced and sounds awesome! He even fixed my drivers side mirror when he had the door apart free of charge! I have worked in Customer Service for 28 years and the guys at Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford have Customer Service NAILED! Thanks again. Gord G from Langley.

Gord Gauthier

We traveled from Alberta to Langley for our daughters grad. I found their website and contacted Tony. They were more then accommodating to set an appointment, get the job done as fast as they could. They didn't try to sell me more then I asked for and I got a great system as a gift for my daughter. On the other side, my wife commented that the bathroom was exceptional, a reflection of the type of work they do. Thanks JM

J M Michaud

Fantastic! Heard about Certified Autosound and Security in Abbotsford. Went in to buy a system and I was blown away. My car sounds fantastic !!!
