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 daily commuters who switch between multiple devices or want to reduce dashboard clutter during long highway runs or urban driving.

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 on busy Australian roads where attention must stay focused forward.

Expandable Android Platform: Download navigation apps like Sygic or OsmAnd for offline touring through remote WA regions, install Spotify or TIDAL for unlimited music, or add dash cam viewers for integrated vehicle monitoring. The Google Play Store access transforms this from a head unit into a full workshop-grade command centre.

High-Visibility IPS Display: The 500-nit brightness and IPS panel technology ensure clear visibility even under harsh Australian sun through the windscreen. Anti-glare coating reduces eye strain during extended drives across the Nullarbor or through Outback conditions.

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 families on road trips or tradies wanting podcasts and audiobooks during long site-to-site commutes without relying on mobile data.

Integrated Reverse Camera Support: Direct video input for aftermarket reverse cameras improves parking safety in tight caravan parks, shopping centres, or workshop bays. The brake detection input automatically switches to camera view when reversing.
