Features & Benefits

Purpose-built for Patrols without factory large screens. This unit integrates seamlessly with GU7 and GU8 Patrol dashboards that came with standard audio systems—transforming basic factory entertainment into modern connectivity without compromising the legendary reliability that makes Patrols the preferred choice for remote area exploration, mining work, and serious outback touring across Australia.

Wireless smartphone mirroring for remote area communication. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto maintain connectivity in towns and stations between remote destinations—perfect for coordinating convoy movements, checking station access, or communicating with family during extended Cape York, Canning Stock Route, or Simpson Desert expeditions where reliable technology matters most.

Built-in GPS ensures navigation where mobile coverage ends. Preloaded GPS map data maintains continuous navigation through vast areas without mobile coverage—essential for Patrol touring through WA's Pilbara, NT's Tanami Desert, or Queensland's Channel Country. Install specialized 4WD navigation apps like Hema Maps or ExplorOz for detailed track information, water points, and fuel locations.

Rugged construction withstands demanding conditions. The 9-inch IPS screen maintains visibility through corrugations, bulldust, and harsh outback sun exposure. The 500 nit brightness cuts through dashboard glare, while the chassis design handles the constant vibration and temperature extremes typical of genuine remote area 4WD touring that Patrol owners regularly undertake.

Steering wheel control retention maintains driving focus. Factory steering wheel controls remain operational for volume adjustment and track control—essential when navigating challenging tracks where taking hands off the wheel to adjust audio would compromise control. Manage communications and entertainment while maintaining concentration on difficult terrain.

Bluetooth 5.0 delivers clear communication in harsh environments. Enhanced Data Rate technology maintains stable phone connections even with diesel engine noise, suspension articulation sounds, and wind buffeting through open windows during hot outback driving. Make clear safety calls to base camps or emergency contacts during remote expeditions.

Expandable audio system supports touring upgrades. The 4V pre-output voltage drives external amplifiers to overcome engine, tire, and wind noise typical of heavy-duty 4WD touring. Dedicated subwoofer output and four-channel speaker connections support comprehensive audio upgrades for long-distance comfort during multi-week expeditions across remote Australia.

Dual-camera capability enhances expedition safety. Connect reverse cameras for confident reversing with trailers, campers, or when navigating tight bush tracks. Auxiliary video input accommodates front-facing dash cameras for incident recording and journey documentation during remote area exploration where evidence of track conditions or wildlife encounters matters.

Legendary Patrol reliability meets modern technology. This head unit respects the Patrol's proven reputation for dependability in the harshest conditions. No complex electronic interference, no fragile components that fail in heat and dust—just straightforward smartphone integration that works when you're 1000km from the nearest workshop.
