Toyota Prado ZX, Kakadu & VX: The Upgrade They Said Couldn’t Be Done
Bringing a Modern Multimedia Experience to the Toyota Prado
Toyota Prado ZX, Kakadu and VX owners are often told that upgrading the factory navigation system is too complicated, or simply cannot be done This is exactly where we shine
At 360 Car Audio Pty Ltd, these are exactly the types of installations where experience matters.
For this Toyota Prado, we completely transformed the original, outdated factory navigation system into a modern 9-inch Pioneer multimedia system, delivering the latest connectivity, navigation and entertainment technology while maintaining the vehicle’s important factory integration.

Key features include:
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Wireless Android Auto
9-inch touchscreen display
LED display

iPhone Maps navigation

Google Maps navigation
Factory steering wheel controls retained

Modern Navigation at Your Fingertips
One of the biggest advantages of upgrading to a modern Apple CarPlay and Android Auto system is access to the navigation apps you already use on your smartphone.
With Apple CarPlay, compatible iPhone users can access Apple Maps, Waze and Google Maps directly through the Pioneer touchscreen.
Android users can also access compatible navigation applications through Android Auto, including Google Maps and Waze.
This means you can enjoy familiar, regularly updated navigation rather than relying on an ageing factory navigation system.
The large 9-inch touchscreen makes navigation easier to view and control, while wireless connectivity means your compatible smartphone can connect without needing to plug in a cable every time you get into the vehicle.
Modern Technology Without Losing Factory Features
One of the most important aspects of this installation was maintaining the factory functions that Prado owners rely on.
Rather than simply replacing the original screen, the upgrade was carefully integrated into the vehicle to retain key factory features, including the steering wheel controls and factory reversing camera.
This gives the owner the benefits of modern technology without sacrificing the functionality and convenience already built into the vehicle.
From Outdated Navigation to Modern Connectivity
The original Toyota navigation system was showing its age.
The new 9-inch Pioneer display provides a much more responsive and user-friendly interface, along with seamless wireless smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The transformation is significant:
From an outdated factory navigation system to a modern, connected 9-inch multimedia experience.
The installation maintains the factory appearance while giving the Prado a completely updated feel.
Professional OEM-Style Installation
Vehicles such as the Toyota Prado ZX, Kakadu and VX can present considerably more complicated integration requirements than a standard stereo replacement.
Factory systems, vehicle electronics, cameras and steering wheel controls all need to be considered when designing the upgrade.
This is where professional experience makes the difference.
At 360 Car Audio Pty Ltd, we specialise in challenging vehicle integrations and provide solutions for vehicles that other installers may consider too difficult or impossible to upgrade.
Every installation is completed with careful attention to integration, functionality and finish.
Before & After
The difference between the original system and the new Pioneer multimedia system demonstrates exactly what is possible with the right equipment, integration components and installation expertise.
This is more than simply replacing a stereo.
It is about modernising the vehicle while maintaining the factory features that matter.
