Features you’ll use

Clean integration for the 2016–2020 Levorg: the fascia suits the dash, aligns beneath the separate top MFD, and keeps steering controls familiar. Camera support where fitted. Fast to launch, text is crisp at a glance, and the layout stays calm so you can drive without clutter.

2016-2020 Subaru Levorg Head Unit Kit

OEM fitment

The fascia is tailored for the Levorg, aligning cleanly under the separate top MFD. Edges match the surrounding trim, so the dash reads as one piece. Steering buttons continue to work and, where fitted, the factory reverse camera is supported. No odd gaps, no clutter—just a tidy, factory-style install.
  • SWC retained throughout
  • Factory camera supported
  • OEM-match fascia lines
  • No gaps, clean fit

EQ & timing

Shape the cabin sound without fuss. A full-band EQ and per-channel time alignment let you set clarity and staging, while Hi-Res playback preserves detail. Bluetooth with high-quality codecs keeps streams clean. Add an amp or sub later—the unit offers an easy upgrade path with stable outputs and quick preset switching.
  • 16–31 band equaliser
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Amp-friendly RCA preouts

Voice first

Hands stay on the wheel and eyes stay high. Wireless projection via CarLink 2.0 reconnects on its own, so you're back to maps and music quickly. Use voice to navigate, call, and reply without poking at the screen. We lean to Apple Maps and Spotify here, but your usual apps drop in smoothly.
  • Hands-off voice control
  • Auto wireless reconnect
  • Maps and music fast

Offline & Torque

Keep guidance when reception drops in carparks or tunnels. Download map areas ahead of time for the routes you use most. Add a simple OBD2 dongle and Torque can show live temps, boost and basic codes—handy to glance at, easy to hide when you want a clean screen. Minimal when you prefer it.
  • Download offline map areas
  • OBD2 live gauges
  • Basic code checks

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.

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

FAQs

Will this suit my 2016–2020 Levorg (VM) without gaps?

Yes. The OEM-match fascia aligns beneath the separate top MFD for a tidy, integrated look.

Does it support the factory reverse camera on VM Levorgs?

Where fitted, the factory camera is supported and displays on the new screen.

Is the screen readable at midday and stable in summer?

Yes. Bright panel remains legible at lights, and active cooling is designed for AU summer heat.

Can I install it myself, and what tools do I need?

Most owners complete it in ~60 minutes. You'll need trim-removal tools, a Phillips screwdriver and a 10mm socket; difficulty is 2/3.

How reliable is wireless reconnect in stop–start driving?

It wakes quickly and reconnects via CarLink 2.0, typically before you've selected a gear.

Can I add an external amp or sub later?

Yes. RCA preouts provide a clean, stable signal path for future amplifier or subwoofer upgrades.
