Hey everyone, it’s Gatlin once again from your favourite car electronics installation shop, Carphonix.

Now, I know you know that removing faded window tinting is not one of the services we offer here. But I know you also know we’re car enthusiasts here. I got my start in this business tinkering around with my first car before I got properly certified to do what I do here. And I’m still a bit of a tinkerer, if I’m honest. In my spare time, I like to work on my car. I guess I just don’t get enough of it at work!

And yeah, this is one of those things that falls firmly OUTSIDE the realm of car electronics, but it’s also something that might just bug the heck out of you. It bugged me, that’s for sure.

I’ve had my Nissan 300zx for a long time, and I’ve put a lot of work into it over the years. Imagine having a pristine, spectacular looking vehicle, only to have the crappy old window tint bubbling up like that? It’s like completely renovating your home and having it in perfect condition, only to leave your crummy broken old front door there.

So yeah, let’s fix that, huh? Here’s how I figured it out.

If so, we’ve got you covered. Give us a shout using the information below.

Hey guys, it’s me again, Gatlin from Carphonix, your one stop shop for all things custom car electronics.

If you’re a Canadian like me, you might recognize the car in this video as a Nissan X-Trail. Ditto if you’re from Japan. Why? That’s the only two countries where this particular vehicle is available.

Yep, Americans, Europeans, Mexicans, whoever, you’re missing out. Did you realize your whip was so unique in the world?

Anyway, Craig brought this bad boy over to dig into it.

There are some differences between the Canadian and Japanese models, of course. For example, you might notice this is a right-side drive. So, clearly not Canadian. As well, the Canadian version has dials for the climate control and 4×4, whereas this one is all digital.

It’s got some pretty cool features as well, including a built in can cooler. That’s right, if you want to keep your drinks cool while you’re on the road, this little fellah will do it for ya! It’s tied into the air conditioner.

Craig and I are going to take you on a tour of this guy. We’ll take a look under the hood, the interior, the body, and check out some of the differences. As always, if you’re interested in bringing in a JDM ride, check out Craig’s business Bonsai Rides.

But hey, enough of this. Check out the video below.

Call Carphonix

Whatever your ride, we’ve got a solution for you.

Are you looking for a better stereo? An alarm system? A remote starter? Winter is coming, after all.

In the market for better headlights, or heated seats? Or, would you just like to know why that check engine light popped up?

Whatever it is you need, if it has to do with car electronics, we’ve got you covered.

What is good my people, here I am once again, your old buddy old pal Gatlin from CarPhonix Car Audio, THE place to be for everything related to cool car electronics.

If you’ve been following the channel for a while, you’ll notice we’ve talked about the Mazda AutoZam AZ-1 before. That’s thanks to Craig over at Bonsai Rides, a JDM import biz. He loves these things, and this isn’t the first one he’s brought by. In fact, we’ve done videos on them before – check them out here and here.

But this one is different. It’s a barn find.

What’s a barn find? It’s a vehicle, usually a car, found in storage that’s been neglected for a long time. What’s fun about these cars is that it’s a full project to restore them to their former glory.

It’s a lot of fun for guys like myself and Craig who just love cars and seeing a damaged, broken ride return to looking spectacular.

Anyway, we’ve got a full job we’re going to be doing on this puppy. For starters – this one is yellow. If you know much about the AutoZam AZ-1, you’ll know that they were never painted yellow – this was a change made by its previous owner. So what we’re going to do is take all the panels off it, and returning them to their original red colour.

We’re also going to add a wing to the back of it, like the blue one we had in the shop. We’re going to document the whole process, so if you’ve got an AutoZam yourself you can see how it’s done.

Check it out!

So I know we’re talking about paint jobs here, but we’re not a paint shop, we’re a car electronics shop.

That means if you want a killer new car stereo installed, we’ve got you covered. It also means we’ve got your back when it comes to heated seats, LED lights, car alarms, remote car starters, and a whole lot more.

Got a car electronics project in mind? Give us a call, and let’s talk car audio!

Here I am once again, your old faithful internet buddy Gatlin here at CarPhonix, lord and master of all I survey.

Today, we’ve got something a little different for all y’all.

In fact, it’s got nothing at all to do with car audio. And no, that’s not a trick comment either – it’s got nothing to do with car video, or truck audio, or heated seats in your motorcycle, or car electronics period.

It’s got to do with painting. Specifically, painting your wheel wells.

Now I know we’re not a car paint shop. And we’re not pretending to be. We’re a car electronics shop. But we’re also car enthusiasts ourselves, which should be obvious. We’re also tinkerers – it’s how I got into car audio in the first place.

So when it comes to cleaning up our rides, you’ll often find us DIY-ing it.

Which is what you’re going to see in this video. I recently got myself a camper, and hey, the wheels were ugly. So I wanted to paint them, naturally. But what a hassle it would be to actually take the tires apart.

So instead, I used a set of cue cards to tape off the tire. Check it out!

If you want to hire someone to paint your car, call someone else – we might DIY our own stuff, but when it comes to hiring, hire a professional.

So what should you hire us for?

Anything to do with car electronics.

Want a new car stereo? No problem, we’ve got you covered.

How about a remote car starter installation? We live in Canada, after all. No problem there either.

A new car alarm? Yep, we got you.

LED headlights? Heated seats? A video screen to keep the kids busy? A parking assist camera?

If it’s got wires attached to it, we can help.
