Features & Benefits

Wireless Smartphone Integration: Connect your iPhone or Android device without cables for instant access to navigation, hands-free calling, and music streaming. Perfect for families loading cargo and passengers who need quick device connectivity, or touring drivers switching between navigation and entertainment apps during long-distance highway travel.

Factory Steering Wheel Control Retention: Maintain convenient thumb control over volume, track selection, and source switching without removing hands from the wheel. Essential for safer driving during school runs, caravan towing, or extended family road trips where attention must stay focused on the road and surrounding traffic.

Expandable Android Platform: Download navigation apps like Sygic or OsmAnd for offline touring through remote regions, install Spotify or TIDAL for unlimited music during family trips, or add dash cam viewers for integrated vehicle monitoring. The Google Play Store access transforms your seven-seater SUV into a comprehensive entertainment and navigation hub for all passengers.

High-Visibility IPS Display: The 500-nit brightness and IPS panel technology ensure clear visibility even under harsh Australian sun through the large Sorento windscreen. Anti-glare coating reduces eye strain during extended interstate drives, coastal touring, or outback adventures where visibility is critical for safe family travel.

Multi-Format Media Playback: Play H.264, MP4, AVI, MKV video files and MP3, APE, AAC, FLAC audio formats directly from USB storage. Ideal for keeping rear passengers entertained during long holiday drives, or enjoying podcasts and audiobooks during solo commutes without relying on mobile data in regional areas.

Integrated Reverse Camera Support: Direct video input for aftermarket reverse cameras improves parking safety when manoeuvring this mid-size SUV in shopping centre car parks, caravan sites, or boat ramp areas. The brake detection input automatically switches to camera view when reversing, adding modern safety features particularly useful when towing trailers or managing tight parking situations with limited rear visibility.
