Features you’ll use

Clean fascia that matches the trim lines and keeps the dash tidy. Steering-wheel controls remain, and the camera is retained where fitted. The panel is bright for midday errands, and the interface keeps the daily flow simple for commuting and weekend runs. Value-first, with a calm screen that keeps attention on the road.

2009-2015 Toyota Prius Head Unit Kit

Factory look, sorted

The fascia follows the Prius trim lines for a tidy, factory-look result. Steering-wheel controls stay active and the factory reverse camera is supported where fitted. Vehicle-specific brackets and plugs keep the install neat, so the head unit sits flush and the centre stack stays clean without gaps, shims, or cable mess.
  • Clean fascia lines
  • SWC retained
  • Camera supported

Better than stock

Set sound without fuss: a full EQ and time alignment help clean up staging and tighten vocals. Clear Bluetooth calls reduce cabin echo on coarse-chip streets. It plays nice with add-on amps and compact powered subs, and plays nice with JBL 8-speaker premium audio on i-Tech grades when present.
  • Time alignment tools
  • Clear hands-free calls
  • Amp/sub friendly

Wireless by default

Hop in and it reconnects quickly, so the phone stays in your pocket. Voice handles messages and quick route changes while you keep hands on the wheel. Use Google Maps for guidance and keep playlists rolling with Spotify. The simple home screen cuts taps for a calmer, everyday drive.
  • Pairs quickly
  • Voice first
  • Maps and music

Offline when you need

Download map areas before you head out to keep guidance running if reception drops. When you're back in range, routes update automatically. Add the Torque app with a basic OBD2 reader to view temps and simple codes on longer highway runs or after servicing, then tuck it away for everyday commuting.
  • Download map areas
  • Works without signal
  • Simple OBD2 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

FAQs

Does this suit the Prius XW30 (2009–2015) and keep the steering-wheel buttons?

Yes. It's built for the XW30 (ZVW30R) and retains steering-wheel controls using the supplied harness — no extra modules required.

Will my factory reverse camera still work?

Where fitted, the factory camera is supported via the included adaptor. Aftermarket cameras can connect with standard RCA and power leads.

How does it handle midday glare and summer heat?

The bright panel stays readable at noon, and the hardware is specified for Australian summer stability.

Is the install manageable at home?

Most owners finish in about 60 minutes (difficulty 2/3). You'll need trim-removal tools, a Phillips screwdriver and a 10 mm socket.

Can I add an amp or small sub later?

Yes. The system is amp-friendly and has a simple path for adding a compact powered sub to lift low-end without crowding the cabin.

Does it work with the JBL premium audio system?

Yes. It plays nice with the JBL 8-speaker premium audio found on some i-Tech models.
