Need some help upgrading my Cruze

Jayme said:

Hey everyone! I have a 2012 LT. There are a few things I want to upgrade in my car and would love some advice on where to look!

1. I want to add Bluetooth audio to my system (I prefer to NOT go after market)

2. I would love to just replace the whole center console with the version that has the NAV and such. (I would be OK to go after market as long as it looks good) would love to get Apple CarPlay.

3. Led head lights (I'm sure there's a ton of models I can use)

Thanks for the input guys! I love my 2012 Cruze except the few things listed above.

1. You can keep everything stock and just get the bluetooth module from a camaro, it's directly swapable and gives you bluetooth streaming. Here's a guide for that http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/137-...bluetooth-a2dp-bluetooth-audio-streaming.html

2. It's very very pricey in this car to get a stereo with all the appropriate harnesses and such, and unless you add subs to the mix, the speakers are not going to have as much "umph" as they (barely) do now.

3. You'll need to go aftermarket for these, as just LED bulbs are not bright enough for low beam use, and also don't throw light well enough in the factory housings. These are a "fan favorite" for aftermarket headlamps. They provide the best light output, provided you also get an HID kit with them, short of doing a full on projector retrofit.

Good luck cruzing

+1 to the DIY Bluetooth. Very easy, very cheap, very worth it.

+1 to the "too expensive for entire console"

For the lights, read around the electrical section, poke some people for questions; are you looking for plug n play or can you do some wiring?

Thanks for the reply! I'm have to get that Bluetooth module off eBay and give it a shot. I'll look around for the led headlights too. Thanks for the help
