Features & Benefits

Complete Steering Wheel Control Retention with Bluetooth Button: The included SWC harness preserves all steering wheel-mounted controls including volume, track selection, phone functions, and the factory Bluetooth button for instant hands-free calling. Essential for work ute applications where maintaining hands-free communication with work sites, suppliers, and clients ensures safe operation during job site travel, and critical for family touring where hands-on-wheel operation provides safety during long-distance highway driving and off-road adventures.

Wide Platform Coverage: Engineered to fit the Navara D40 across its extensive 2007-2015 production run covering Dash 1, Dash 2, and Dash 3 configurations, plus the related Pathfinder R51 (2008-2013) in Dash 1 configuration. Critical for professional installations where these popular platforms were sold in multiple configurations requiring flexible fitment solutions that accommodate both commercial work vehicles and family touring wagons.

D40 and R51 Platform Engineering: The fascia panel is precision-molded for both the Navara D40's work-focused dashboard and the Pathfinder R51's family-oriented interior, ensuring exact fitment with factory panel gaps despite different trim levels and specifications. Essential for installations where these platform-related vehicles share core architecture but serve different purposes—commercial work for Navara and family touring for Pathfinder.

Factory Antenna Integration Maintained: The included antenna adapter ensures proper connection between your factory radio antenna and the new aftermarket headunit, maintaining strong AM/FM radio reception without signal loss. Critical for regional work sites and remote touring where AM/FM radio provides weather warnings, emergency broadcasts, and communication during work travel or family expeditions across regional Australia.

True Plug-and-Play Installation: All harnesses including the SWC adapter connect directly to factory plugs without any wire cutting, stripping, or soldering required. Reduces installation time in busy workshops and eliminates wiring errors that cause comebacks, particularly important for work vehicles where electrical reliability affects business operations and touring vehicles where reliability is paramount during remote area travel.

Enhanced Connectivity for Work and Touring: Brings contemporary features including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, and offline GPS navigation to the 2007-2015 Navara D40 and 2008-2013 Pathfinder R51 while retaining factory steering wheel convenience. Transforms both the versatile work ute and capable family SUV into connected platforms with seamless hands-free operation perfect for job site communication, family touring navigation, and long-distance highway travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit both my Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51?

Yes, this single kit is designed to fit both Navara D40 (2007-2015) across Dash 1, 2, and 3 configurations, and Pathfinder R51 (2008-2013) in Dash 1 configuration. These platform-related vehicles share core dashboard architecture allowing this universal solution.

What's the difference between Dash 1, Dash 2, and Dash 3 on the Navara?

Dash configurations refer to different dashboard layouts found across trim levels and model years. This kit accommodates all three Navara D40 configurations. Check manufacturer compatibility photos to verify your specific dash type if uncertain.

Does the Bluetooth button work with all aftermarket headunits?

The SWC harness provides the Bluetooth button signal to the aftermarket headunit. However, actual functionality depends on the headunit's steering wheel control programming capabilities. Most modern headunits from Alpine, Kenwood, and Pioneer support this function.

Will this work with 2016 or newer Navara models?

No, this kit is designed for D40 generation Navara (2007-2015). The 2016+ model year introduced the NP300/D23 generation with completely different dashboard architecture requiring a different fascia kit.

What additional parts might I need for installation?

The kit includes the fascia, SWC harness, and antenna adapter. Depending on your vehicle's features and chosen headunit, you may need additional items such as a reverse camera, GPS antenna adapter for better satellite reception in remote areas, or specific CANbus interface for optimal SWC functionality.
