About this kit

Early start, empty on-ramp; the screen wakes and gauges are one swipe away. The OEM-style fascia suits the Lancer and keeps cables out of sight, so the cabin stays focused. Snappy to launch, clear at a glance, and stable after Aussie summer heat soak—eyes up, hands settled, drive first.

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

Features you’ll use

Driver-centric layout with a tidy, OEM-style fascia and a responsive UI. Steering controls stay in play and the factory camera is supported where fitted. Quick access to Waze and Spotify keeps cues short and clear, even after summer heat soak, so you focus on the next corner, not the menus.

2007-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Head Unit Kit

Driver-centric, OEM style

Built around a vehicle-specific fascia for CJ/CF, the display settles into the centre stack with an OEM-style profile. Steering-wheel controls remain active and the factory reverse camera is supported where fitted. Harnesses are purpose-made, so wiring tucks away cleanly. The result is a focused, stock-looking cabin that suits spirited driving without extra clutter.
  • Steering controls retained
  • Factory camera supported
  • Clean tucked wiring

Tune for spirited runs

Dial the cabin in with 16–31 band EQ, per-channel time alignment and Hi-Res playback. Bluetooth with aptX-HD keeps wireless streams crisp, and pre-outs make adding an amp or sub straightforward. It also plays nice with Rockford Fosgate, preserving the factory amplified path while letting you shape staging and keep punch without harshness.
  • 31-band EQ control
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • aptX-HD Bluetooth audio
  • Amp/sub upgrade ready

Quick cues, minimal taps

Wireless projection via CarLink 2.0 keeps things hands-off: hop in and it reconnects. Use voice for messages, calls and routes; Waze delivers short prompts while Spotify stays within reach. The projection remains stable through short stops, and quick-access toggles make source changes simple—eyes up, minimal taps, back to the next corner.
  • Snappy touch response
  • Low-lag voice control
  • Waze and Spotify

Torque gauges on tap

Download offline map areas before regional runs so guidance keeps working off-grid. Pair a small OBD2 adapter and use Torque to bring temps, boost and live gauges to the display when you want them—then hide them when you don't. It's a clean way to monitor the car without extra pods cluttering the dash.
  • Offline areas for trips
  • Temps and boost
  • Gauges at a glance

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.

Add maps and media with microSD expansion and you’re set for offline trips.
