【Car Audio Installation That Makes Use of the OEM Navigation｜Installation Using OEM Cables】

When you want to improve your car audio, you tend to focus on choosing products such as speakers, amplifiers, and DSPs.

However, the actual final sound quality and how easy it is to use after installation aren’t determined by the products alone. It’s important to consider everything, including how the system is connected to the OEM setup, how the wiring is handled, the installation method, and the adjustments to suit the vehicle.

An installation that also uses OEM cables is LOGON’s installation style. We check the OEM wiring and existing systems in your vehicle, make use of what can be utilized, and review the areas that need changes.

Rather than replacing everything with aftermarket wiring, we choose a sensible approach after considering your vehicle model and grade, the configuration of your OEM audio, and how you plan to upgrade the system in the future.

Improve Sound by Leveraging the OEM Navigation or Display Audio

In recent vehicles, the OEM navigation or display audio may work in coordination with hands-free functions, vehicle warning sounds, and more.

Therefore, if you want to add speakers, an amplifier, or a DSP without replacing the OEM navigation, you can’t simply connect the equipment. You need to install while confirming how it relates to the OEM system.

You want to enjoy your usual music even more comfortably—while keeping the OEM look and operability.

For requests like that, a method that uses the portions where OEM cables can be used—changing only what’s necessary—can fit well. It’s characterized by the fact that it’s easier to avoid unnecessary increases in wiring changes or modifications, and it also helps with future inspections or system upgrades.

That said, the same method can’t be used for all vehicles. Depending on the vehicle model and grade, or the configuration of the OEM audio, dedicated wiring or additional modifications may be required.

The In-Vehicle Sound Quality Is Not Determined by Product Choice Alone

Even when using the same speakers and amplifier, the impression of the sound can change depending on wiring routing, connection methods, how securely components are mounted, and how well everything is matched to the OEM system.

For example:

• You want the vocals to feel a bit closer
• You want to hear even the fine details
• You want not only stronger bass, but also a natural sense of thickness
• You want a sound that won’t tire you out even after long listening
• You want to improve sound quality while keeping the OEM feel of operation

To make these preferences happen, it’s essential to not only install the equipment, but also organize the whole system to match the in-car environment.

Properly processing wiring even in parts you can’t see, securely fixing the equipment, and leaving it in a condition that makes later inspections and changes easier are also important for enjoying car audio for a long time.

This Is for People Like You

• You want to keep using the OEM navigation or OEM display audio as-is
• You don’t want to drastically change the look inside the car or your usual operation feel
• You want to replace the OEM speakers and feel the difference in sound
• You want to add a DSP or amplifier and adjust the sound to suit the vehicle
• Your car is new or special to you, so you want to avoid unnecessary modifications
• Start with speaker replacement first, and develop the system gradually in the future
• You want us to carefully check the wiring process after installation and the finished results

We’ll Think Together About an Installation Method That Fits Your Car

If it were me, rather than deciding on products completely first, I would begin by checking your vehicle’s OEM system and its current condition.

Then, we’ll organize what parts we should keep as OEM, which changes are more likely to make the sound difference noticeable, and how far you want to upgrade the system in the future.

Some people want to start with speaker replacement first, while others want to make proper adjustments including the DSP. The system that fits best varies depending on the music you typically listen to, your sound preferences, how long you spend in the car, and your plans going forward.

Whether to use OEM cables, switch to dedicated wiring, or whether additional modifications are needed is a decision made after confirming the actual vehicle and the system configuration. If we decide this by email alone, the content may end up changing during the actual installation. That’s why at LOGON, we guide you after reviewing the parts that should be checked—so it’s less likely that what we discuss will change later.

For those who want to enjoy their usual music a little more comfortably—while preserving the convenience of the OEM system. We’ll work together to find a method that won’t put strain on your vehicle and that you can enjoy for a long time even after the installation.
