Four questions, answered

Yes. Every 70 Series from 2009 to 2026, before and after the facelift.
- 76 wagon
- 78 Troopy
- 79 single cab
- 79 dual cab
- Same fascia for every body style and both dash generations
- Not sure of the year? The build date is on your compliance plate
2. Can I fit it myself?
Yes. About 30 to 60 minutes for the unit, and nothing gets cut.
- Plug-in loom made for the 70 Series. No splicing, no coding
- Step-by-step install guide included
- Adding our camera? Allow about two more hours to run the cable and wire the reverse light
3. What about my factory gear?
It stays.
- Speakers and antenna plug straight in
- Facelift (Sep 2023 on): your steering wheel buttons keep working
- Facelift with a factory reverse camera: it can stay, using a standard camera retention harness (not included)
- Amp and sub outputs ready if you upgrade later
- Pre-facelift? Add wheel buttons with the Black Bandit wheel. It plugs straight into this unit

Questions
When will it arrive?
Each edition card at the top shows if it’s in stock or on pre-order, with the ship date. In-stock units leave NSW the same business day by free AusPost. Recent orders to NSW and QLD have taken 3 to 6 business days; allow longer for WA and the NT.
Will it drain my battery?
It goes to sleep when the key is off. If the vehicle sits for weeks, set the shortest sleep time in settings and unplug the engine reader.
Will it throw dash warning lights?
If your vehicle needs a CAN interface, it comes in the loom, so warning lights aren’t expected. If one shows after fitting, message us a photo and we’ll sort it.
Will it void my new-car warranty?
Generally no. A maker can’t refuse a warranty claim just because an accessory is fitted, only for a fault the accessory caused. Nothing gets cut, so the factory radio can go back in.
Maps with no signal?
The GPS works without phone signal. Download your maps before you go: Google Maps offline areas are free, and Hema (paid) is built for the bush. Elite’s 256GB holds big offline map packs.
Can I run a dashcam?
Yes. Plug a USB dashcam in (not included) and run its app from Google Play. On Elite it runs alongside Hema; on Essentials, run one big app at a time.
What SIM do I need?
Any 4G data SIM from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone or their resellers. It goes in the tray behind the unit. You may need to enter the carrier’s APN settings once, and we can walk you through it.
Screen and controls?
No knob. Volume and controls are on the screen, and on the steering wheel buttons on facelift models. Polarised sunglasses can make any car screen look darker, which is normal.
Antenna, USB and radio?
Your factory antenna plugs into the loom. Two USB leads run wherever suits you. FM is built in. There’s no AM or DAB+ tuner, but those stations stream through free apps like ABC listen, using data. The extra Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna improves range around camp.
Will it sound better?
It drives your factory speakers properly and has an equaliser, so yes, a bit. If sound matters to you, budget for speakers too. Amp and sub leads are already on the loom.
Specifications?
Got a pre-2009 70 Series?
This unit is for April 2009 on. Earlier dashes are different; message us and we’ll tell you what fits yours.
Returns?
Faulty: covered by the warranty and we pay return freight. Change of mind: unused and unopened, within 30 days of delivery, for 30-Day Store Credit. Full policy.
