About this kit

Site gate to the next job: gloves off, ignition on, it's already connected. The OEM-match fascia suits the D-Max cabin and the head unit wakes quickly, so you're rolling without fiddling. Built for AU summers with active cooling, the display stays stable after heat soak on long, dusty runs.

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

Features you’ll use

Built for work utes: solid bracketry and a tidy fascia that looks right in the D-Max. Readable at a glance and snappy between stops, it reconnects fast and keeps hands on the wheel via voice. Choose Google Maps for routing and Spotify for background during site runs.

2012-2020 Isuzu D-Max Head Unit Kit

Work-ready, OEM look

Built for ute duty: the OEM-match fascia suits the dash and mounts solidly so it won't rattle on site roads. Factory controls stay in place and trim lines meet cleanly for a tidy look. Hardware is secured with proper brackets and 10 mm fasteners, so the display stays planted when the tray is loaded and the approach is rough.
  • Solid bracket mounting
  • Tidy fascia lines
  • Suits D-Max dash
  • No-rattle site fit

Clear calls on site

Calls need to cut through noise. The built-in DSP gives you a 16–31-band EQ, per-channel time alignment and amp-friendly outputs, so you can shape staging for a ute cab and tame road roar. Bluetooth call quality is strong, and it plays nice with Sky Sound systems on upper trims when you upgrade speakers later.
  • Clear mic pickup
  • Time alignment tuning
  • Amp-friendly pre-outs
  • Plays nice with Sky Sound

Wireless between jobs

Hop in and it reconnects while you're buckling up. Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto run via CarLink 2.0, so calls, messages and voice prompts stay hands-free between jobs. Ask for an address or playlist and keep moving; Google Maps and Spotify are a quick voice away. If reception dips, it recovers cleanly without cable fiddling.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Quick voice address
  • Auto-reconnect at starts
  • Glove-friendly prompts

Maps when reception doesn't

Download map areas before you head out and keep guidance working when the site has no bars or you'd rather save data. For quick checks, pair an OBD2 adapter and use Torque to watch temps and basic engine gauges. Handy for spotting issues before a long tow or after a heavy load.
  • Offline areas saved
  • Works with Torque
  • Quick gauge glance
  • Save mobile data routing

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

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
