The J150 Toyota Prado (2018–2023) is one of SA's most aspirational SUVs. It demands a head unit that matches its premium positioning — and that means OEM-fit, not an adapter surround. The A3827 is designed for the J150's specific dashboard cavity, finishing flush with the trim and looking as deliberate as the rest of the interior.
Behind it: 12.3" IPS at 1920×720, Android 13, MediaTek MT8257, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, offline GPS for bush and mountain navigation, WiFi, DSP-processed 4×45W through the YD7388 amplifier, Bluetooth 5.0, FM/RDS radio, steering wheel controls, and AHD/CVBS reverse camera input.
J150 2018 facelift note: This listing is for the post-2018 facelift J150. If you have a 2010–2018 Prado, see our separate listing for that generation. Not sure which yours is? WhatsApp us with your year and VIN.
