Mercedes-Benz E Class HID and LED Lighting Upgrades
Upgrade your Mercedes-Benz halogen headlights to HID lighting giving you the look and feel of the factory installed Bi-Xenon headlights. Our Mercedes-Benz kits are not the same as the cheap "too good too be true" kits found on Amazon or eBay.
Originating in Germany and designed to work with the complicated factory CAN BUS electronics of the Mercedes-Benz, our installed kits come with a 2-year "no hassle" replacement warranty. We do not use resistors that will eventually fail to "trick" the factory system into thinking that the halogen bulbs are installed as the other kits that do not work after one of our infamous winters.
Access 1 Alarm & Audio has "peace of mind solutions" for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles and can upgrade the headlight marker lights with optional LED bulbs as viewed in the before and after images located in our Photo Gallery. CLICK HERE

2007 Audi Q7 Bluray DVD Player Integration to Factory MMI System
The classy 2007-2008 Audi Q7 lacks the playback of DVD Video while in park. Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers a custom video integration module that allows 3 Audio/Video sources and a rear camera to be displayed on the factory MMI screen.
This option viewed in the photos, incorporated an external Bluray DVD player mounted in the glovebox. Upon being loaded with your movie, the unit can be controlled via a wireless remote control. Since the Audio is a closed loop MOST optical system with no external audio inputs from the factory, an optical audio interface was utilized to enable an audiophile quality audio signal to be generated on the optical system and played throughout the vehicles speakers.
The Bluray DVD player was also incorporated with the aftermarket DVD headrest system allowing for all the screens to display the same movie or 3 different movies.
The Audi Q7 integration kit is completely expandable and tailored to fit any of your needs. Examples of what you can utilize this kit for are:
- DVD video
- Bluray video
- Navigation
- Rear camera
- Front camera
- FLIR thermal image night view camera
- iPad/iPhone/iPod/iTouch integration
- Android operating system from your phone integration
- Game System
- Anything imaginable that can display an A/V source

There comes a time when your vehicles radio isn’t cutting it anymore, either it is broken or technology has passed it up and the idea of throwing several thousands of dollars at an antique is not an option.
But what to do, as even a refurbished Mercedes-Benz radio is $4,000.00? In the past the only option was to replace the whole entire system COMAND navigation, amplifier, and speakers. Not true today with the implementation of the OPTI-1. The OPTI-1 allows for the factory radio to be replaced with an aftermarket radio allowing you to retain the integrity of the factory optical system, including the audio gateway (AGW), amplifier, and speakers while adding a modern day navigation system or multimedia radio.
Professionally installed radar detectors and Laser Jammers
Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding community is unique to the rest of the United States with the implementation of radar drones* on the highway transmitting in K band, red light cameras, speed trap cameras, the use of the older K band radar guns and the newer threat of state of the art laser guns. However, we have covered all the bases with our phenomenal product line up from Escort Radar, Beltronics, AL Priority and K40.
Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers multiple brands of radar systems such as Beltronics, Escort, K40 and the ultimate in laser protection, AL Priority. Even though it is uncommon for a company such as Access 1 Alarm & Audio to put all its eggs in a single basket, we can’t professionally recommend any other equipment other than Escort or Beltronics paired to the AL Priority due to Cleveland’s unique speed measuring threat. We have multiple systems for different budgets with different levels of protection.
