Audio System

Head Unit – Kenwood DMX9720XDS 10.1” Floating HD Display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto

This model was the perfect choice for the Landcruiser featuring its massive 10.1” Floating Screen that fills the dash nicely & also allows better viewing of maps whilst travelling. The large volume dial button makes it easier to operate than a touchscreen volume button if driving off road or on bumpy terrain.
