VW T6 Transporter Alpine Halo 9 and Blue-Stitched Wheel Retrofit
Volkswagen T6 Alpine Halo upgrade and blue-stitched steering wheel transformation
This Volkswagen T6 came to us for a standout retrofit—and Simon, the owner, travelled quite a distance to make it happen. The result? A premium VW T6 Alpine Halo upgrade featuring Alpine’s flagship Halo 9 head unit, a custom Alpine door speaker kit, and a stylishly re-trimmed multi-function steering wheel with blue stitching. This combination adds not just exceptional sound quality, but a sleek and personal touch to the van’s cabin.
Ever felt like your van’s entertainment system just doesn’t cut it anymore? Simon did—and now his T6 has been completely elevated by the addition of Alpine’s Halo 9 system. With its ultra-wide touchscreen display and crisp high-res interface, it’s a serious multimedia brain transplant. Paired with upgraded Alpine component speakers mounted in the doors, this setup delivers crystal-clear audio at any volume. Whether you’re into podcasts, playlists, or road trip tunes, this upgrade makes every mile sound better.
What We Did
This project was all about integrating high-end audio tech and custom interior details. Here’s what we delivered:
- 🔵 Installed Alpine Halo 9 floating head unit with full touchscreen interface
- 🔵 Fitted custom Alpine component speaker kit into factory door locations
- 🔵 Re-trimmed the existing multi-function steering wheel in premium leather with accent blue stitching
- 🔵 Ensured all steering wheel buttons, horn, and airbag systems remained fully functional
- 🔵 Carefully routed all wiring to OEM standards for a clean, factory-finished look
Why It Matters
Upgrades like these are more than just visual or audio improvements—they’re quality-of-life enhancements. The Alpine Halo 9 transforms the user interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the custom speakers make even casual listening enjoyable. Meanwhile, the re-trimmed steering wheel adds a layer of tactile comfort and individuality that Simon now appreciates every time he gets behind the wheel.
Retrofit Expertise Makes the Difference
Fitting a floating display like the Halo 9 requires more than just a plug-and-play approach. We performed a complete pre-install diagnostic scan, ensured CANBUS integration was stable, and custom-coded the system for a seamless fit. Likewise, the steering wheel wasn’t just re-upholstered—it was dismantled, airbag removed, stitched to match the van’s interior theme, and then reassembled with all safety checks completed. This is where our vag retrofits experience makes all the difference.
