About this kit

No fuss: start, connect, go. The factory-look fascia suits the MU-X and the head unit is fast to launch, so daily runs stay simple. Bright panel stays readable at noon, and active cooling keeps things stable in summer. It's the essential upgrade that just works without adding noise.

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

Features you’ll use

Clean fascia, bright readable panel, and a fast-to-launch UI that gets out of the way. It reconnects while you buckle up, voice takes care of addresses and calls, and the layout stays calm over rough suburban roads. Pick Google Maps and Spotify and keep the daily flow tidy.

2012-2021 Isuzu MU-X Head Unit Kit

Factory look, sorted

Keep it simple: the factory-look fascia suits the MU-X cabin and the hardware mounts cleanly for a stable result. Trim lines meet well, controls stay where you expect, and the finish looks like it belongs. Solid bracketry and proper 10 mm fasteners keep the display planted over daily speed humps.
  • Factory-look fascia finish
  • Stable mount, no rattle
  • Controls where expected
  • Suits MU-X dash

Better than stock

Better than stock without fuss: tune a 16–31-band EQ and set per-channel time alignment to clear up vocals. Bluetooth calling is solid, and amp-friendly outputs keep upgrade paths open. Works with Sky Sound on upper trims, so you can improve speakers later while keeping the clean cabin look.
  • Clear calls and vocals
  • Time alignment control
  • Amp-friendly pre-outs
  • Plays nice with Sky Sound

Wireless by default

Wireless by default via CarLink 2.0. Ask for an address, reply to a message, or start Spotify without touching the screen. CarPlay & Android Auto keep maps, calls and music in one place, and if you prefer a cable you can plug in. Quick auto-reconnects suit short school and shop stops.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Maps, calls, music
  • Quick, reliable auto-reconnects
  • Cable optional if preferred

Offline when you need

Download map areas before you head out and keep guidance working when reception drops. Save mobile data around town too. For quick checks, pair an OBD2 adapter and use Torque to watch temps and basic gauges. Handy for a pre-trip once-over or after towing the trailer on the weekend.
  • Offline areas saved
  • Works with Torque
  • Quick gauge glance
  • Save data 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

FAQs

Will this suit the MU-X RF (2013–2021) and keep steering-wheel controls?

Yes. It's designed for the RF series and steering-wheel controls remain active where fitted.

Does the factory reverse camera still work after the swap?

Yes. The included adapters retain the camera feed where a camera is present.

How readable is the screen in midday glare and summer heat?

The bright panel helps in daylight, and active cooling supports stability in hot cabins. A matte protector can further cut reflections.

Is it compatible with Sky Sound on upper MU-X trims?

Yes, it plays nice with Sky Sound and keeps upgrade paths open for speakers and an amp.

What's the install like for a first-timer?

Allow about 60 minutes. You'll need trim-removal tools, a Phillips screwdriver and a 10 mm socket. Most owners rate it a 2/3 for difficulty.

Can I use offline maps and Torque if reception drops?

Yes. Download map areas in your maps app before heading out, and pair an OBD2 adapter to use Torque for temps and basic gauges.
