Features & Benefits

Large 10-inch screen enhances urban navigation safety. The expansive touchscreen displays street names, lane guidance, and turn arrows with exceptional clarity—critical for navigating Perth's complex freeway interchanges, finding street parking in crowded CBD areas, or confidently merging in heavy traffic where glancing at a small screen creates dangerous distraction.

Wireless smartphone mirroring eliminates morning rush hassles. Wireless CarPlay connects your iPhone automatically when you start the car, while Android Auto pairs compatible devices without cables—perfect for quick morning commutes where you need navigation and podcasts ready instantly, or afternoon school runs where passengers need entertainment without trailing cables through the cabin.

Pulsar-specific installation maintains refined interior aesthetics. The included fascia panel and harness are engineered specifically for 2012-2016 Pulsar dashboards, maintaining the clean, modern interior design while adding premium connectivity. Most steering wheel controls remain operational for volume and track management, with Bluetooth pairing handled through the head unit's superior Bluetooth 5.0 system.

Built-in GPS ensures navigation through metropolitan coverage gaps. Preloaded GPS map data maintains continuous navigation through tunnels, underground car parks, and areas with temporary mobile disruptions common in Perth's CBD and Fremantle. Update maps via Google Play Store, or install real-time traffic apps for optimal route planning during peak hour commuting.

Bluetooth 5.0 delivers crystal-clear hands-free calling in traffic. Enhanced Data Rate technology maintains stable connections and superior audio quality even with road noise at freeway speeds—making phone conversations practical and legal during commutes, client calls, or coordinating family logistics while navigating through metropolitan traffic safely.

High-brightness IPS display stays readable in intense sunlight. The 500 nit screen maintains clear visibility during harsh Australian summer conditions when dashboard reflections can wash out smaller, dimmer displays. Sharp 1280×720 resolution ensures text messages, contact lists, and navigation prompts remain legible without squinting or multiple glances away from traffic.

Expandable audio system supports quality upgrades. The 4V pre-output voltage drives external amplifiers for improved sound quality in highway driving conditions, while dedicated subwoofer output enables bass expansion for music enthusiasts. Four-channel speaker outputs support complete audio system upgrades with amplifier control signal for automatic power management.

Dual-camera capability enhances urban parking confidence. Connect a reverse camera for tight parking bay manoeuvres and a front-facing dash camera for incident recording in congested city traffic. Both video inputs display on the 10-inch screen, providing comprehensive awareness for parallel parking and documentation during daily metropolitan driving.

Transform commuting with unlimited streaming entertainment. Replace basic factory audio with unlimited music via Apple Music or Spotify, podcasts for traffic jams, or audiobooks for longer drives. USB media playback provides offline options, while the Android system enables installation of additional entertainment apps for passengers.

The 10-inch screen fits seamlessly while providing significantly better navigation visibility than smaller screens—particularly beneficial for safe driving in heavy traffic where quick glances at detailed maps are essential.

Is Android Auto wireless or do I need a cable?
Android Auto connectivity depends on your phone brand. Most modern Android devices support wireless connection, but some specific brands require wired USB connection. iPhone users enjoy fully wireless CarPlay operation for all compatible iPhone models without any cable requirement.

What's included for installation and do I need additional parts?
The package includes head unit with fascia, main harness, RCA cable, camera cable, rear speaker cable, microphone, GPS antenna, user manual, and two USB cables. Different model years may require specific accessories—contact us with your dash photo for confirmation before purchase.
