Modernizing the MGB: Adding CarPlay without Sacrificing the 1960s Soul


The MGB dashboard is a masterpiece of British functionalism. For years, owners had to choose between a silent original radio or a plastic modern unit that looked like a spaceship. We decided to change that.


While the MGB thrives on an analog driving experience, the modern road requires navigation. By utilising our Magnetic NFC Smart Cover, MGB owners can keep their dashboard looking strictly 1970s while driving, only revealing the high-definition CarPlay screen when navigation or DAB+ is needed.

PERIOD-CORRECT CONNECTIVITY

Reluxe Stereo original version complete with the hand-polished chrome frame to match the MGB's iconic toggle switches and gauge bezels, with our Bespoke Service you can choose the piano black insert to add a bit personal touch, It’s an upgrade that even the most hardened purist at a club meet will respect.
