The intuitive design reduces installation time and eliminates the need for dashboard modification in most applications.

This shared platform design streamlines inventory for installers working across multiple Subaru models.

Upgrade to modern Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems for navigation and smartphone integration across Subaru's adventure and performance vehicle lineup.

Durable ABS Construction - High-grade automotive ABS plastic with piano black coating resists UV degradation, temperature extremes, and daily wear. The material maintains structural integrity and gloss finish across Australia's diverse conditions, from outback touring in Forester and XV to spirited driving in WRX applications.

Performance and Adventure Vehicle Integration - Specifically designed for Subaru's adventure-focused (Forester, XV) and performance-oriented (WRX, Levorg) vehicle families. The robust construction and premium finish maintain interior quality whether tackling corrugated tracks or canyon roads.
