Features you’ll use

Rugged mounting and a tidy fascia keep the stereo firm when the ute shakes. Bright, noon-readable panel, so addresses stay legible in dust and glare. Snappy menus between stops, with harnessing that retains steering-wheel controls and camera where fitted. It suits the MQ cabin and gets out of your way.

2016-2018 Mitsubishi Triton Head Unit Kit

Work-ready, OEM look

Built for utes that live on sites, the vehicle-specific fascia sits flush and looks factory. Solid mounting keeps the head unit steady over vibration, and the harness retains steering-wheel controls and the camera where fitted. It's a tidy, wipe-clean finish that suits the MQ cabin and won't loosen as the kilometres add up.
  • Work-ready OEM look
  • Solid mount, no rattle
  • Controls and camera retained
  • Wipe-clean fascia finish

Clear calls on site

Road noise and site clatter are tamed with a flexible 16–31-band EQ and per-channel time alignment. Calls stay clear over Bluetooth, and Hi-Res playback keeps music or podcasts crisp. If you add an amp or sub later, clean pre-outs make it simple — tuning tools help you push past tyre and roof-rack noise.
  • DSP and EQ tuning
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Clear Bluetooth calls
  • Amp-friendly RCA pre-outs

Wireless between jobs

Wireless via CarLink 2.0 means no cables between jobs: hop in, it reconnects, and you're away. Use Google Maps or Waze for quick address entry, and control calls and messages with voice so hands stay clear. The bright, glare-resistant panel stays readable in dust and midday light, keeping directions glanceable as you roll.
  • Auto-reconnect between jobs
  • Voice-first for calls
  • Google Maps or Waze
  • Glare-readable panel at noon

Maps when reception drops

Save map areas before you head out so guidance continues through dead zones and remote estates. Pair an OBD2 dongle and use Torque for quick checks — coolant temp, intake air, and basics when towing or idling. Handy peace of mind on hot days and an easy way to spot issues before they cost time.
  • Offline areas saved
  • Works without coverage
  • Torque for quick checks
  • Watch coolant temps

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

Top-tier hardware at fair pricing, with AU support and clear documentation.
We care about the experience after install just as much as unboxing day.

FAQs

Will the steering-wheel buttons still work in my Triton MQ?

Yes. The vehicle-specific harness retains standard SWC functions on MQ models, and the layout remains familiar after the upgrade.

Does it keep the factory reverse camera?

Where fitted, the factory camera path is retained. If your ute doesn't have one, an aftermarket camera can be added and integrated cleanly.

How does the screen handle dust, glare and heat?

The bright, anti-glare panel stays legible in midday light, and the unit boots reliably after a heat-soaked cabin. Touch remains precise with dusty fingers.

How hard is the install on a GLX?

Plan about 60 minutes with basic tools. The fascia is MQ-specific and the wiring is plug-and-play — no cutting or soldering required.

Will it reconnect reliably between jobs and work when reception drops?

Wireless reconnect is quick via CarLink 2.0. Download map areas before you head out and navigation continues through patchy coverage.

I have auto climate controls in an MQ — anything special?

Yes. Auto-climate variants use a specific fascia/harness combo. We supply the correct kit for MQ so integration remains tidy and functional.
