Modern Intelligence for the Modern Prado.
The Prado 150 Series is one of the most capable tourers on the road, but the factory infotainment system—especially in the 2018+ models—often feels limited and unresponsive. For those who want the freedom of Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without the restrictions of factory-locked-down software, the Polaris 10.1-inch Upgrade is the ultimate solution.
This unit replaces the factory screen with a stunning, high-definition 10.1-inch display. It is designed to look like a factory-fit option while providing the raw power of an Android-based system. Most importantly, it is engineered to communicate with the Prado's complex electronics.
Why Prado 150 Owners Upgrade to Polaris:
- Crystal Clear 10.1-inch HD Screen: A massive leap in resolution and size over the factory unit. Perfect for split-screen maps and music.
- Seamless Wireless Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto—no more messy cables hanging across your gear shifter.
- Full Steering Wheel Integration: Keep your hands on the wheel. This unit retains your factory steering wheel button functionality.
- Off-Road Ready: Fully compatible with Australia’s favourite off-road apps, including Hema Maps and Gaia GPS.
- Retain Factory Reverse Camera: Plugs directly into your existing camera system for essential rear visibility.
- High-Powered Audio: Features a built-in DSP to improve the sound quality of your factory speakers significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Polaris head unit compatible with my 2018+ Toyota Prado 150 Series?
Yes. The Polaris 10.1-inch upgrade is specifically designed for the facelifted Toyota Prado 150 Series (2018 to current models). It fits all trim variations including the GX, GXL, VX, and Kakadu, blending seamlessly into your original dashboard for a premium factory-look finish.
Will I retain my Prado's factory reverse camera and 360-degree viewing system?
Absolutely. This system is engineered to fully integrate with the complex factory electronics of the Prado 150. It retains your original reverse camera and any existing factory 360° surround-view systems. For 2018–2020 models, it retains the normal 360° view, and for 2020–2023 models, it supports the factory 3D 360° view seamlessly.
Does this unit feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. It features rapid wireless connectivity for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows your smartphone to connect automatically when you start your vehicle, letting you access messaging, music streaming, and navigation via a driving-focused user interface without messing with USB cables.
Can I run offline off-road maps like Hema Maps or Gaia GPS?
Yes, the unit is entirely off-road ready. Running on an open Android operating system and equipped with a dedicated external GPS antenna, you can download your favorite regional touring or topographical mapping apps directly to the head unit. This allows you to utilize offline maps and navigate confidently even when traveling far outside of cell reception.
Does the Polaris unit support an additional camera for a caravan or trailer?
Yes, it serves as an excellent touring hub. Beyond retaining your factory camera system, the Polaris upgrade features a dedicated second camera input. This allows you to easily connect a caravan, trailer, or front-mounted camera and toggle views directly on the large 10.1-inch high-definition display to enhance towing safety.
