Features you’ll use

Built for touring, this stereo keeps the dash tidy and the UI steady on rough surfaces. Pair once and it reconnects fast after fuel stops. Download small map areas so guidance continues when reception fades. Google Maps and Waze keep the route clear while the cabin stays clutter-free.

2015-2018 Ford Ranger PX MKII Head Unit Kit

Built for long runs

The vehicle-specific fascia gives a clean, OEM-match look, and the brackets locate solidly so the mount stays quiet on gravel. Alignment points make seating straightforward and the fascia clips back on flush. Steering-wheel controls continue to work, and the factory camera is retained where fitted for a familiar, tidy cabin suited to distance.
  • OEM-match fascia, tidy dash
  • Solid, rattle-resistant mount
  • Controls and camera retained

Tune it your way

Shape highway clarity with a 31-band EQ and per-channel time alignment. Hi-Res playback preserves detail for long stints, while Bluetooth with aptX-HD keeps wireless listening crisp. Planning upgrades later? Clean pre-outs make adding an amp or sub straightforward without changing the display—build the system in stages.
  • 31-band EQ control
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Hi-Res playback support

Wireless every day

Go cable-free via CarLink 2.0. It connects on startup and snaps back after short stops. Use voice for calls and quick replies while Google Maps or Waze guides the way in town or beyond coverage. The routine stays simple: hop in, it's paired, and you're rolling without cords.
  • Quick reconnect at stops
  • Google Maps or Waze
  • Voice for calls

Torque gauges on tap

Download map areas before heading bush so guidance continues past the last tower while saving data. Add an OBD2 dongle to run Torque and watch temps, intake readings, or boost on turbo models—handy checks on long hauls. The UI stays steady over corrugations and the solid mounting helps keep rattles at bay.
  • Map areas offline
  • Quick reconnect
  • Solid mounting

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

FAQs

Does this fit the Ranger PX MkII/PX2 (2015–2018) and keep the upper display?

Yes. It replaces the main audio stack; existing upper information displays remain. Steering-wheel controls stay active.

Will my factory reverse camera still work on PX MkII models?

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

How does it handle AU heat, dust and midday glare on trips?

Active cooling and a bright panel are designed for Australian summers. Readability and responsiveness remain strong in heat and dust.

Is wireless stable for touring and quick to reconnect after stops?

Yes. Via CarLink 2.0 it connects on startup and snaps back quickly after fuel or photo stops—no cable juggling.

Can I use offline maps and Torque on long stints or when towing?

Yes. Download map areas before you leave town for guidance out of coverage. Add an OBD2 dongle to run Torque for temps, boost and basic codes.

Are there different kits for the small screen vs 8" SYNC units?

PX MkII had 4.2" and 8" SYNC variants. The correct conversion kit and fascia differ; we’ll match your vehicle so the fit and functions are right.
