Power Windows and Power Locks Available at Tunes-N-Tint

June 11, 2018 By Staff

Did you know that Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland can add power locks and even power windows to your vehicle? We offer a wide variety of accessory options to add convenience to your vehicle. We can integrate many of these features into a keyless entry, security or remote car starter system so you can control these functions remotely. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular upgrades we offer.

Keyless Entry Systems

If your car or truck came with manual door locks, we could add high-quality door lock actuators to allow for integration with a keyless entry system. We mount the actuators inside your door so they can mimic the manual locking and unlocking action. We will work with you to choose the perfect remote control system so you have all the features you want. We can even install the Viper SmartKey system, which uses a Bluetooth connection from your smartphone, or SmartStart, which uses a cellular data connection for nearly unlimited range.

Power Trunk Release

We can install a power trunk release in many vehicles as well. The installation is relatively simple if you have a cable-operated remote trunk release. If there is no remote release, don’t fret – our team of technicians would be happy to have a look at your vehicle to see if there is a way to add a solenoid.

Add Power Windows to Your Vehicle

We offer a variety of power window upgrade solutions. We can install factory window regulator assemblies or use an aftermarket motorization kit. You can decide where you want to place the control switches, creating a system that is easy to use. If you have a remote control system, we can connect to your power windows remotely so they will roll up automatically when you lock your doors. You can even roll them down using a button on your remote.

Power Lock and Window Repairs

Few automotive technicians are as adept at troubleshooting electromechanical systems as a mobile electronics installer. If your power locks don’t work or your windows won’t roll down, drop by our store. We perform simple repairs to these systems all the time and often at a much lower cost than a dealership.

Add Convenience to Your Vehicle

If you are in the Lakeland area and are interested in adding power locks or windows or a remote trunk release to your car, truck or SUV, drop by Tunes-N-Tint and talk to our team. We’ll inspect your vehicle and let you know which options are available. We use only the highest quality products, so you can be assured that the features we add will function reliably for years and years.

If you’ve ever wanted to take your music with you to the beach, a picnic or a barbeque, a battery-powered Bluetooth speaker like the Bullfrog from Kicker is a great choice. If you are runner or cyclist or want music while at the gym, the waterproof EB400 Earbuds sound awesome!

Kicker Bullfrog Speaker Solutions

The BF400 is a fully portable, battery-powered Bluetooth speaker system. The unit has a 1/8-inch auxiliary input if you want to use it with a laptop and includes an FM radio receiver with an optional external antenna. If you want something slightly smaller, the BF200 is a medium-sized speaker that has the same features as its big brother, but with a little less maximum volume capability.

Both the BF200 and BF400 have their speakers mounted facing opposite directions for 360 degrees of sound coverage. The units have an IP66 water-resistance rating, so they’ll keep playing even if it starts raining. You can pair two Bullfrog speakers together using Kicker’s DoubleKick Connect feature to cover more area. The Kicker Connect App lets you change radio stations and fine-tune your sound with a five-band equalizer.

Kicker Waterproof Earbuds

If you want a more personal listening experience, check out the EB400 Bluetooth earbuds. You can listen to music or even answer a phone call with the built-in microphone. The kit includes three pairs of silicone tips to ensure guys and gals get the perfect fit. The battery is good for about eight hours and can be charged using the provided Micro USB cable. A fully waterproof IPX7 rating means you never have to stop enjoying your tunes, even when it’s pouring rain.

Do I Need A Leveling Kit or A Full Lift Kit

April 25, 2018 By Staff

With the popularity of off-road vehicles here in Lakeland, Tunes-N-Tint receives a lot of questions about the differences between truck lift kits and a leveling kit. Both solutions are designed to provide additional clearance for larger tires. However, the need for one over the other depends on how you intend to use your truck and just how much additional clearance you need. Let’s look into truck suspension upgrades.

What is a Leveling Kit?

In most applications, a leveling kit includes a set of torsion bar keys or a strut spacer that adds up to an additional 2.5 inches of distance between the front axle and the body of the truck. Let’s say you want to run 33×12.50-inch tires on a new Ram 1500. The Rough Country 2.5-inch inch kit will raise the front of the truck using a set of high-quality steel spacers between the top of the front strut and the body.

When you look at the truck from the side, the rake of the truck is eliminated, and the top of the bed will be parallel to the ground. Many of our clients like this look.

Truck Lift Kits

Let’s say you are rollin’ in a late-model Ram and you feel like taking the truck onto the trails. Running a set of 35-inch tall tires will give you added ground clearance, but they require a real lift kit to keep the tires from hitting the fenders. Fabtech’s 6-inch lift kit includes new rear coil springs and a complete set of link arms, new front spindles, shock spacers, custom-fabricated cross members and new rear struts. This kit will get your truck up in the air and give you the clearance you need for logs, rocks and churning through mud.

Expert Installation by Tunes-N-Tint

No matter what truck suspension upgrade you choose, our team of expert technicians are available to install the system here at our shop. We’ll make sure every fastener is torqued to spec, and if required, we can provide brake line extensions or any additional supporting hardware that will help to ensure the reliability and functionality of your truck. We can even adjust your headlights to make sure oncoming drivers won’t be blinded once we change the stance of your truck.

Truck Accessory Experts

Whether you need an extra inch or two of clearance on the front of your truck, or want a monster 10-inch lift with custom powder-coated brackets and long arms, Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland can set you up quickly and reliably. For more information, drop by the store, give us a call or send an e-mail using our online contact page.

Tunes-N-Tint Can Add Extra Charging Ports In Your Car

April 18, 2018 By Staff

Tunes-N-Tint in Lakeland, Florida knows that we don’t always have enough charging ports for the USB devices we take on the road. Europeans make fun of North American vehicles for the number of cup holders we have. How come we don’t have USB ports for each seat? If you feel our pain, don’t fret! We have several options to add as many high-current USB charging locations you could ever want.

Panel Mount USB Charging Ports

Do your kids have tablets or smartphones? Do they play Minecraft, Angry Birds or Fortnite for hours on end? Do they need a way to keep their devices charged while on a road trip? We can add USB charging ports to the back of the center console to keep those devices humming along nicely. We can even add USB ports to the third row of SUVs, usually installing them in the side panels or tucked neatly away underneath the seats.

In the front seat, an extra charging location for your phone frees up the cigarette lighting socket for a portable GPS or a radar detector. If your better half wants a USB port for themselves, we can add that too! Our sales team will work with you to understand how you use your vehicle. We’ll work with you to figure out where we should install the upgrades. This will help you maximize your efficiency when behind the wheel. Inside the center console or the glove box are popular locations for an extra USB port.

USB Extensions

If you have an aftermarket radio, sometimes the USB connections on the back of the radio aren’t long enough. We offer USB extensions in 12, 36 and 72-inch lengths to make sure you can use your radio the way you want. As always, our team will mount the jack where you want it, and we always test everything we install to make sure it works perfectly.

Expert Installation

Whether we are repurposing a cigarette lighting socket as USB port, or making a custom panel for multiple charging locations, the installation team at Tunes-N-Tint ensures that every wire connection is mechanically secure and properly protected. All wiring is carefully hidden out of sight. Your car, truck or SUV is kept immaculate all the time it is in our possession. We respect our client’s vehicles, and we take pride in our work.
