About this kit

Built for Australian summers with active cooling, the display feels composed, so your commute starts calm and stays that way.

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

Features you’ll use

2011-2017 Toyota Aqua (Prius C) Head Unit Kit

OEM calm, every day

Made to suit the Prius c, the vehicle-specific fascia keeps lines clean and the dash calm. Brackets locate predictably, clips seat with a firm click, and the mount stays quiet on patchy streets. Controls and camera are retained where fitted, so the cabin feels familiar—just tidier. It's a drop-in feel that matches daily use.
  • Fits cleanly, OEM look
  • Clips seat firmly
  • Factory camera retained
  • Calm, tidy dash

Clear at low volume

Commuter cabins reward clarity over sheer volume. Use the 31-band EQ and per-channel time alignment to lift speech, tame reflections and keep music balanced at low levels. Hi-Res playback preserves detail, while Bluetooth with aptX-HD limits compression artefacts. Planning upgrades later? Clean pre-outs make adding a compact amp or powered sub straightforward.
  • Speech lift, less hiss
  • 31-band EQ & timing
  • Hi-Res playback support
  • Amp/sub pre-outs ready

Routine, cable-free

Routine stays cable-free via CarLink 2.0. It connects on startup and snaps back after short stops. Use voice to handle calls and quick replies while Apple Maps guides and YouTube Music plays on. The flow is simple: hop in, it's paired, glance when needed, keep hands on the wheel, and roll through the commute.
  • Pairs on door-open
  • Quick reconnect at stops
  • Glanceable map at lights
  • Cable-free daily routine

Offline for data-saving

Download small map areas to keep guidance working in patchy coverage and to trim mobile data use. The interface stays steady on rougher shortcuts home. Add a basic OBD2 dongle and use Torque as a toolbox when needed—check temps, read simple codes, or watch hybrids-relevant metrics. Handy to have, quiet when you don't.
  • Map areas offline
  • Save mobile data
  • Torque when needed

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

FAQs

Does this fit the Prius c NHP10R and keep the top display tidy?

Yes. It replaces the main audio stack and uses a vehicle-specific fascia; existing upper information displays remain. Steering-wheel controls stay active.

Will my factory reverse camera still work on Prius c (NHP10R)?

Where fitted, the camera is retained via the included harness. If your connector differs, we'll advise the correct adapter.

How does it handle midday glare and warm cabins in Australia?

A bright panel and active cooling help with midday lights and post-lunch heat soak. Readability and responsiveness remain steady.

Is wireless stable and quick to reconnect on short stops?

Yes. It connects on startup and snaps back quickly after fuel or coffee stops—no cable juggling.

Can I save data with offline maps and still get guidance?

Yes. Download small map areas for your route and navigation continues in patchy coverage while using less mobile data.

What tools and time should I allow for a DIY install?

Plan around 45 minutes, difficulty 2/3. Typical tools: trim tools, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10 mm socket.
