Saying NO to Unsafe Conversions – The Sign of a True Leader

Autogroup International has built a reputation not just by converting vehicles—but by doing it the right way. Over the years, we’ve become known for world-first, fully compliant right-hand drive conversions of American SUVs, Muscle Cars and Pickup trucks, backed by international warranties, legal testing, ADR compliance, Conformity of Production standards and ISO 9001:2015 Quality Assurance.

But there’s something just as important as what we do: what we choose NOT to do.

And that includes the Cadillac Escalade.

Why We Draw the Line

Unlike many fly-by-night conversion outfits, we have a full team of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers. Over 250 people with over 30+ years of being the in the right-hand drive conversion business. Our process includes:

Legal compliance assessments
Digital systems integrity reviews
Safety audits for all occupant systems
Full ADR and Homologation reviews including ISO and Conformity of Production

And when our team says a vehicle cannot be safely converted—we don’t touch it. Autogroup International has more engineers than many of these ‘fly by night’ operators have in total staff!

That’s exactly the case with the 2024–2025 Escalade. Any right-hand drive conversion that involves removing its OEM digital infrastructure is:

Technically unsound
Legally indefensible
Morally irresponsible

When the Screen Fails, What Then?

With a factory dash system, a screen replacement is a spare part order. With a low-grade aftermarket screen, failure can mean the end of the road for your Escalade—no software updates, no diagnostics, and often, no replacement part availability.

Would you spend six figures on a luxury SUV that could be rendered useless by a software glitch?

Saying NO Is a Strength

At Autogroup International, we pride ourselves on long-term thinking. We think about vehicle resale value. We think about engineering ethics. And most importantly, we think about the lives of the people who drive the vehicles we convert.
