Quality car audio for your EV? Look to AutoImage

Located in Sin Ming Road, AutoImage Enterprise is a name well-known among car audio enthusiasts in Singapore. With over 30 years of experience, the workshop has become a trusted destination for high-end car audio installation in Singapore, particularly for electric vehicle (EV) car audio system upgrades. We spoke with Ted, the founder of AutoImage Enterprise, to learn more about why EV drivers, especially those driving Tesla, BYD, and Hyundai EVs, are turning to his team for premium audio solutions.

Sgcarmart: Ted, why are so many EV owners visiting AutoImage Enterprise lately?

Ted: The trend is clear. EV drivers care about quality sound. The cabin of an electric car is quieter than a petrol or diesel car due to the lack of engine noise, which makes any imperfections in the car speaker system stand out more. That’s why we’re seeing more Tesla, BYD, and Hyundai EV owners come in looking for premium car audio upgrades.

Sgcarmart: A common concern is: Will upgrading the sound system void the EV's warranty?

Ted: That's a great question and a very common fear. The short answer is no, our upgrades do not void your EV's warranty. We use plug-and-play systems that do not interfere with the vehicle's original wiring. Brands like Esatto are engineered to integrate seamlessly with your car's existing system.

With over 30 years in the industry, AutoImage Enterprise has experience working with and installing a premium audio systems in a wide variety of combustion and electric cars

Sgcarmart: Is it more complicated to install car audio in an EV compared to an ICE car?

Ted: Surprisingly, EV audio installation is often easier. We can install systems like the Esatto Massa MA-D4 MKII digital sound processor with minimal modifications. The turnaround time is usually 1 to 3 hours, depending on the setup.

Sgcarmart: What are some popular setups among your EV customers?

Ted: Many customers go for a full Esatto or Passione setup, including amplifiers, DSPs, and component speakers. It's clean, powerful, and doesn't interfere with the car's features. Then, the entire system is tuned according to your personal preferences.

The firm's shelves are stacked full not only of the best audio systems you can get, but also a host of awards that it has accumulated from various competitions

Sgcarmart: What would you say to someone who is hesitant about investing in EV audio upgrades, and what sets Autoimage Enterprise apart?

Ted: Firstly, our award-winning service. Our workshop is filled with accolades from international audio competitions all around the world, and we take great pride in that. We understand what you need, install the system seamlessly into your vehicle, and then tweak and tune your new car audio system to exactly your tastes. We walk every customer through the process, explain the differences between EV and ICE installations, and offer after-sales support.

Secondly, not all car audio specialists in Singapore understand EV architecture. AutoImage Enterprise specialises in seamless, non-invasive installs, with systems from Esatto and Passione that fully integrate with the vehicle's stock system.

I'd say that the improvement in audio quality is something you'll enjoy every day on your drive. One can revert back to original status when selling the car and transfer the system to the next ride. It’s a great lifestyle investment.
