About this kit

Site gate to the next job: gloves off, ignition on — it's already connected. This OEM-match kit suits the Hilux cab, stays legible, and the UI feels snappy between stops. The hardware is engineered for Australian heat soak, so after a hot cabin it still wakes fast and stays reliable.

Supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto via CarLink 2.0 (pre-installed).

  • 12-month local warranty

Features you’ll use

Rugged mounting and a tidy fascia keep the dash work-ready. The display remains clear at a glance and the interface is quick between deliveries or site moves. Built for Australian runabouts, it balances simplicity with speed so you're focused on the job, not fiddling with settings.

2005-2011 Toyota Hilux Head Unit Kit

Work-ready, OEM look

Built to look factory, the OEM-match fascia keeps the Hilux dash tidy and ready for work. The kit suits the cabin, with secure mounting that resists vibration on corrugated access roads. Steering-wheel controls stay active and the factory camera is retained where fitted, so you keep the useful bits while upgrading the display.
  • OEM-match fascia finish
  • Solid, secure mounting
  • Steering controls retained
  • Vibration-resistant mounting hardware

Clear calls on site

Calls need to cut through site noise. You get cleaner sound with a full EQ and per-channel time alignment, so speech is crisp and music stays organised. Bluetooth with aptX-HD keeps audio stable, and the stereo is amp-friendly if you add a sub or four-channel later for better staging at highway speed.
  • Clear voice on calls
  • EQ and time alignment
  • Amp and sub friendly
  • Bluetooth with aptX-HD

Hands clear, voice on

Hands clear, voice on: hop in and it reconnects without touching a cable. Use voice for quick address lookups and messages while the wheel stays in your hands. Google Maps keeps the next turn obvious, Spotify rolls on between sites, and CarLink 2.0 handles the wireless bridge for a stable day's run.
  • Quick address by voice
  • Wireless reconnection daily
  • Google Maps clarity
  • Spotify between jobs

Maps when reception drops

Maps when reception drops: download the work area once and keep guidance out past the suburbs. Pair a compact OBD2 dongle and open Torque for quick checks — coolant temp, intake, simple codes — so you can spot issues early. It's practical backup for utes that spend time on rural blocks and quarries.
  • Offline AU map areas
  • Works out of coverage
  • Torque gauges on tap
  • Quick fault code checks

The DriverMods difference

Real performance — and real transparency

The current standard is still 28 nm—slower and hotter, with only the highest end units running 12 nm.
Our units start at 12 nm for smooth, lag-free performance (Core & Plus), stepping up to 6 nm in Pro/Max/Flagship for lightning-fast response.

  • spec transparency
  • modern silicon
  • fast boot
  • cool, stable runs
Displays you enjoy looking at

No dim, plasticky panels.
Our Plus / Pro / Max / Flagship use QLED QHD for razor-sharp maps, media, and text.
Our Core tier unit uses a bright, vivid HD IPS display—clear, clean, and easy on the eyes.

  • higher resolution
  • higher brightness
  • premium panel tech
Bigger screen, less bezel, factory-style fit

More screen, minimal bezels, tidy fascia—designed to look like it belongs in your dash.
Controls stay accessible and integration stays clean.

  • OEM-style fit
  • modern look
  • tidy install
Tuned software that makes life easy

Lean, fast, and stable—plus full customisation.
Keep our optimised setup or download and swap to a different launcher if you prefer.
With an Android OS head unit, the options are endless.

  • fast UI
  • no bloat
  • choose your launcher
Memory & storage that keep up

Gone are the days when 4 GB of RAM was “top-end.”
Ours start at 4 GB and go up from there, so app switching stays smooth.
Add maps and media with microSD expansion and you’re set for offline trips.

  • more RAM
  • smoother multitasking
  • microSD for expandable storage
Built for value, backed locally

Top-tier hardware at fair pricing, with AU support and clear documentation.
We care about the experience after install just as much as unboxing day.

FAQs

Will this fit my 2005–2011 Hilux and keep the steering-wheel buttons?

Yes. The kit suits these Hilux years and retains steering-wheel controls. If your ute has a factory camera, it's supported where fitted.

How does the screen handle midday glare and a heat-soaked cabin?

The display is designed to stay readable in bright sun, and the hardware is built for Australian thermal conditions so performance remains stable after the cabin bakes.

What's involved if mine has the single-DIN pocket, not the factory 2-DIN?

Both layouts were used on N70 models. The fascia kit standardises the opening to double-DIN and includes the mounting needed for a clean, factory-style finish.

Is wireless stable day to day for navigation and music?

Yes. It reconnects automatically each drive and CarLink 2.0 provides a reliable bridge for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto so you can focus on the road, not cables.

Can I navigate when out of reception and check basic engine data?

Download AU map areas for offline guidance, then pair a small OBD2 dongle and use Torque to view temps and simple codes — handy for quick checks between jobs.

Can I add an amp or sub later without rewiring?

Yes. The stereo is amp-friendly, with clean pre-outs plus EQ and time alignment so upgrading for better staging at highway speed is straightforward.
