Top Four Auto Upgrade Trends in 2021


All the Best Ways to Get Your Vehicle Ready for Summer in San Diego

Although it’s an endless summer here in San Diego, Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner, which will officially kick off the season. That means more visits to the beach, more road trips for students on break, and a general uptick in temperatures throughout the city. After being cooped up for most of 2020, we have a feeling that this summer is going to be one of the busiest we’ve seen in years. People are for sure going to be out and about. With that in mind, you may be wondering how to best get your car ready for summer cruising when you hit the roads of San Diego.

Here the top four upgrade trends for 2021 that you should consider to get your vehicle ready.

Window Tint


If you live in the San Diego area, there’s no good reason for you to not have window tint. The protection it provides you and your car’s interior more than justify getting it installed. Top quality window tinting products will filter out up to 99% of harmful UV rays and infrared, which means all that heat that tends to build up on hot, sunny days is going to be kept out of your car. By filtering out sunlight, window tint helps keep your interior’s climate cool and comfortable, which in turn means your A/C unit doesn’t have to work as hard.

Beyond temperature control, window tint also adds privacy for you and any valuables that you may keep in your car. Most car break-ins occur because a person saw something of interest in the interior of the car. With window tint, they’ll never know what’s in there, which decreases the overall chance of a break-in.

Finally, virtually all window tint products are now made from materials that won’t interfere with your cell phone or onboard GPS system. For the low amount that you have to invest on the frontend, window tint does a lot.

Remote Start

Even with window tint filtering out all that sun, your car may still get a little stuffy…especially on those hot 100+ degree days. That’s why we love remote start here at Stereo Depot. With this simple upgrade to your car, truck, or SUV you can remotely start your car from a distance to give your vehicle a chance to cool down. Or, if you happen to live in a cold climate, remote start comes in handy on frigid days where the heat needs a few minutes to warm up the car.

Remote start can be installed on virtually any type of vehicle and is an inexpensive and convenient way to get your car just the way you like it before stepping into it. Ask the team at Stereo Depot about further upgrading with a Viper or Compustar security system to go with your new remote start.

Stereo Units


Stereo head units from manufacturers can be a little clunky and unfriendly to drivers, especially if you have an older model car. In the current day, drivers like big touchscreens with easy-to-use menus. They also want to be able to connect their phone seamlessly to the sound system so they can stream their music. That’s why stereo units (or head units, as they’re sometimes called) are one of Stereo Depot’s biggest sellers.

No matter what make or model of your vehicle, we can upgrade your stereo to a top-of-the-line name brand like Alpine, Kenwood, or Pioneer. All of our models come with Bluetooth connectivity so that you can stream your Spotify or Pandora playlist right from your Apple or Android phone. Additionally, our stereo units are satellite radio-capable, meaning you can enjoy Sirius or other satellite radio content.

The best part is that most of our car stereos can be installed in a matter of hours and for less than a few hundred dollars. We can accommodate virtually any budget.

Speaker Packages


If you’re getting a stereo upgrade, then you might as well put the cherry on top with a new speaker package. After all, you want your music to be at the highest quality possible, right? The speaker packages that we offer at Stereo Depot will do just that, and we offer them from the industry’s leading brands such as JL Audio, Pioneer, Alpine, and Rockford Fosgate.

Our speakers will pump brand new life into your playlists with crisp, clean sound, heavy basslines, and clear vocals that will have you thinking you’re standing front row at Coachella. Not only can we upgrade any make or model of vehicle, but we can do so quickly and on a budget that works for you.
