Might be close to getting a 2010 California

I'm not every sure Car Play is an option on a 10 Cali. Even if it is, I still recommend something like Waze, Google Maps or such on your phone. There's a thousand reasons why I love my Cali. The navi is not one is them! Compared to my 911, also a 2011, the Ferrari navi is laughable. I have only used the Cali's navi once in 4 years, when I got lost up near the Red River out of cell phone range. Good luck on the purchase...T

 

You can get an upgraded head unit from Ferrari that will have CarPlay.

Funny enough, I just bought a 2011 this afternoon. I agree with what everyone says, navigation and stereo suck big time.

 

Did you close the deal on the Cali at Boardwalk?

I have a 2010 California. I lowered the bass as I could, but it is still way too high. Am I doing something wrong? Or are other people having the same issue? Thanks!

 

You're listening to the radio, that's your first mistake!

Welcome to F-chat. Post up some Cali pics.

Hahaha!!! Very true! The engine alone is music to the ears.

Beautiful color. One of the nicest colors for the Cali, IMO.

 

Tasty cakes! Congrats.

There are a few older threads related to the Cali radio. I find searching with Google typically more fruitful than via the F-chat app.

or some such.

Enjoy your new car...T

 

Much appreciated!

 

In front of a PC, so I did a search of ...

That's awesome! Thanks!

 

A lot of good info. Thanks again!

 

I updated my stereo in my 2012 California. It is a tough job. The entire bottom of the dash needs to cone out. There is a special connector needed to be able to use the existing steering wheel controls. I found evolution motor sports in Los Angeles who quoted me about 1/2 what other stereo shops did and they did a great job. Make sure you find someone that has done a California before. You don’t want to be the car they learn on...

 

Awesome info! I'm in whittier so that's not far at all from me. Thanks!

 

Alonso is the owner. Really nice guy. It is a small shop, but they have great attention to detail. His number is 323-445-8187. Feel free to tell him Mike sent you from the California he recently did and see if he will give you a deal. Happy to answer any questions you might have as well.

 

Thank you again! I'm definitely going to be giving him a call

 

Now go get that beast out on Angeles Crest Highway and enjoy it!

 

I have a 2010 California, and the radio is fine, but the sound of the non turbo exhaust, and sharing the experience with friends is the best music of all.
