Transform your Toyota Hilux ute with wireless smartphone integration and Android 13 capability.

Product Overview

The Nakamichi NA9TOYOTAHILUX20052014MANUAL transforms your Toyota Hilux's factory infotainment into a comprehensive Android 13 multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This vehicle-specific 9-inch IPS touchscreen head unit is engineered exclusively for Toyota Hilux models from 2005-2014 equipped with manual air conditioning controls, replacing the factory display with a plug-and-play solution that includes the matching fascia panel for seamless dashboard integration. Available in two fascia options to accommodate different dash configurations, the system requires dash photo verification before purchase to ensure correct fascia selection. Running Android 13 (NK 13.0) with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, the system delivers smooth performance across navigation, media playback, and app multitasking while providing ample space for offline maps, music libraries, and Android apps from the Google Play Store. Beyond smartphone mirroring, the system includes built-in GPS with preloaded navigation data, WiFi connectivity, comprehensive AM/FM radio with RDS supporting 18 FM and 12 AM presets, and Bluetooth 5.0 for hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming. The 4×50W amplifier drives factory Hilux speakers or upgraded components, while 4V pre-outputs provide clean signal to external amplifiers. Factory steering wheel controls are retained via CAN bus integration, maintaining convenient thumb access to controls during work site operations, towing duties, and outback touring where Hilux utes dominate Australian roads.

Features & Benefits

Hilux Manual A/C-Specific Engineering – Designed exclusively for Toyota Hilux models from 2005-2014 equipped with manual air conditioning controls. Available in two fascia options (Option 1 and Option 2) to accommodate different dash configurations within this model range. Dash photo verification required before purchase to ensure correct fascia selection and proper fitment.

Wireless CarPlay Freedom – Connect your iPhone wirelessly and access Apple Maps, Spotify, Messages, and Siri through the 9-inch display without cable clutter. The system remembers your device and connects automatically when you start your Hilux, keeping your charging port available for other devices during work site operations, towing runs, or weekend touring.

Android Auto Convenience – Pair compatible Android phones wirelessly (some models require wired connection) to mirror Google Maps, YouTube Music, WhatsApp, and Google Assistant on the touchscreen. Voice commands handle navigation and messaging while your hands remain on the wheel navigating work sites, corrugated tracks, and challenging terrain where Hilux utes excel.

Latest Android 13 System – The upgraded NK 13.0 operating system provides enhanced security protocols, improved app compatibility, and refined performance over previous Android versions. Access Google Play Store to download navigation apps, weather radar tools, and offline mapping solutions while the system manages updates automatically over WiFi.

Expanded 64GB Storage – Double the internal storage of earlier models accommodates extensive offline map data for remote work sites and touring routes, large music libraries with lossless audio files, multiple navigation apps for redundancy, and various Android applications essential for commercial operations and extended journeys where Hilux utes operate.

Built-In GPS Navigation – Preloaded GPS data provides offline navigation capability when mobile coverage drops on remote properties, mine site access roads, or outback tracks where Hilux utes prove their workhorse capability. Download alternative navigation apps from Google Play Store, update maps over WiFi, or run multiple navigation solutions for comprehensive coverage.

High-Brightness IPS Display – The 1280×720 resolution IPS panel with 500nit brightness maintains excellent visibility in harsh Australian sunlight, essential for Hilux operators navigating dusty work sites, exposed mine sites, and open country. The capacitive touchscreen responds reliably even with dust exposure from unmade roads and station work.

Enhanced Pre-Output Signal – The 4V pre-output voltage delivers twice the signal strength of standard 2V units, reducing noise interference when driving external amplifiers. This clean signal improves sound quality in upgraded audio systems, ideal for Hilux operators spending extended hours behind the wheel during commercial operations or long-distance touring.

Factory Control Retention – CAN bus integration maintains functionality of factory Toyota Hilux steering wheel controls, letting you adjust volume, skip tracks, and manage calls using existing buttons. This integration preserves the efficient workflow operators need when managing communications during work site operations or towing duties.

Complete Installation Package – Includes Hilux-specific fascia panel (option selection required), main wiring harness, RCA cables, camera cable, speaker cables, external microphone, GPS antenna, USB cables, and user manual. Everything required for installation is provided, though professional fitting is recommended for optimal integration and correct fascia selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which fascia option I need?

Toyota Hilux models from 2005-2014 with manual A/C came with different dash configurations requiring either Option 1 or Option 2 fascia panels. You MUST send us a clear photo of your current dashboard showing the stereo area and A/C controls before purchase. We'll verify your dash configuration and ensure you receive the correct fascia option for proper fitment.

Is this only for manual A/C Hilux models?

Yes, this unit is specifically designed for Toyota Hilux 2005-2014 models equipped with MANUAL air conditioning controls. If your Hilux has automatic climate control (digital temperature display), this unit is NOT compatible. Verify your A/C control type before purchase.

Does this work with my factory reversing camera?

Factory Toyota Hilux cameras require professional installation to hardwire connections properly. Aftermarket reversing cameras connect directly via the included camera cable and work plug-and-play. Professional installation is strongly recommended for factory camera retention to ensure reliable operation during trailer reversing and work site maneuvers.

Is CarPlay and Android Auto wireless or wired?

Apple CarPlay is wireless for all iPhones. Android Auto is wireless for most modern Android devices, but some specific phone brands may require wired USB connection via the included 4-pin PhoneLink cable. Both connection methods are fully supported through the dual USB interface.

Will my steering wheel controls continue to work?

Yes, CAN bus integration maintains factory Toyota Hilux steering wheel control functionality. The system communicates directly with your vehicle's control protocols, allowing continued use of volume, track skip, and call management buttons without requiring additional adapters.
