About this kit

Weekend runs feel sharper with a snappy display that suits the Liberty cabin. The OEM-match fascia keeps the dash clean and steering buttons working, so inputs stay crisp. Built with active cooling and a heat-sink for Australian summer reliability, it stays composed over rough roads without rattles or cable clutter.

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

2015-2020 Subaru Liberty Head Unit Kit

OEM-style fitment

An OEM-match fascia suits the Liberty dash, finishing the install like it came that way. Brackets and looms are purpose-made, so the mount feels solid and doesn't chatter over coarse-chip. Steering-wheel buttons remain active and the reverse camera is supported where fitted. The result is a clean cabin with tidy cable management.
  • OEM-match fascia kit
  • Solid mount, no rattle
  • Steering buttons retained
  • Tidy cable-free cabin

Audio you can shape

Dial the car in your way: a 16–31-band EQ and per-channel time alignment let you centre vocals and tame boom. Hi-Res playback and Bluetooth aptX-HD keep detail intact. Pre-outs make adding an amp or compact sub straightforward later. Compatible with Harman Kardon variants, preserving the premium audio path while modernising control.
  • 16–31 band EQ control
  • Per channel time alignment
  • Amp and sub pre-outs
  • Compatible with Harman Kardon

Wireless every day

Hop in and it connects wirelessly via CarLink 2.0, so calls, messages and voice are ready without fishing for a lead. Reconnects quickly after short stops and stays steady as the road gets patchy. Use Waze for live hazards while Spotify handles the queue—clean guidance, minimal taps, and a tidy, cable-free cabin.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Quick post-stop reconnect
  • Voice assistant onboard
  • Waze plus Spotify

Torque gauges on tap

Data without the distraction. Pair a compact OBD2 dongle and Torque puts temps, voltages and basic fault codes on one screen for quick glances. Save key map areas for regular routes so guidance continues if reception fades, then swap back to live data when you're in town. Simple, practical, driver-first tools.
  • Glance engine temps quickly
  • Taut responsive UI
  • Map areas saved offline

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.

  • 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

Add maps and media with microSD expansion and you’re set for offline trips.

  • more RAM
  • smoother multitasking

FAQs

Does this suit the Subaru Liberty BN (2015–2020) and keep steering controls?

Yes. It suits BN-series Liberty models and retains steering-wheel buttons via the included harness.

Will my factory reverse camera still work after the upgrade?

Where fitted, the factory camera is supported. If an adapter is required, the correct loom is supplied so it plugs straight in.

Is it compatible with the Harman Kardon system on some BN 3.6R cars?

Yes. It is compatible with Harman Kardon-equipped variants, preserving the premium audio path while adding modern control.

My 2019–2020 Liberty already has CarPlay/Android Auto — is this still useful?

It can be. This upgrade focuses on audio tuning, clean integration, and wireless convenience, so it's a path if you want better sound and a tidier, modern interface.

How stable is wireless on rough roads and after fuel stops?

The connection is designed for quick post-stop reconnection and steady performance as surfaces get patchy, reducing fiddling at the wheel.

Can I view basic OBD2 data with Torque?

Yes. Pair a compatible OBD2 dongle and Torque can show temps, voltages and simple fault codes on one screen for quick checks.
