New BTN Head Units Built for Real Problems
Toyota Fit Issues Solved, and Mitsubishi Dealers Supported
At OEM Audio, we don’t just sell head units — we solve real-world problems for drivers and dealers. Our latest two products are perfect examples of this approach: the BTN525, a new-generation Toyota-size multimedia unit designed to fit modern apertures cleanly, and the BTN305, developed to support Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (2024) owners and dealers dealing with known Bluetooth issues in the factory units
BTN525 – A Smarter Toyota-Sized Solution
Toyota dashboard sizes aren’t as standardised as they once were. We’ve seen increasing variation in the “Toyota standard” aperture — what used to be 200x100mm ( Toyota double DIN) is now often approximately 230mm wide by 130mm high, especially in vehicles from the last 5–7 years. The result? Many aftermarket units either leave unsightly gaps or require bulky fascia kits that ruin the OEM look. We hate the use of audio side spacers. To us, they show a lack of care and preparation. Plus, they just look cheap and nasty. We feel that the end user has invested a lot of their time and effort buying this vehicle and it should both look right and perform properly.
The BTN525 is designed specifically for these newer Toyota models and dash sizes. It provides a clean, factory-style fit without compromise, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included. To make the BTN525 an even better experience for the customer, we put the user menu on the right hand side to suit our right hand drive market.
Why we built it:
- To suit later-model Toyotas with wider (230mm x 130mm) dash apertures
- To offer a high-quality, OEM-style multimedia option for used import dealers
- To reduce installation time and eliminate ugly fascia kits
- To provide a fully licensed and warranty-backed upgrade
- These will work with factory steering wheel controls.
Compatible with a wide range of Toyotas including Hilux, Hiace, RAV4,C-HR, Yaris, Corolla and more.
BTN305 – Helping Mitsubishi Dealers Fix a Factory Flaw
We developed the BTN305 Pajero 9-inch multimedia package specifically for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (2020–24), but not just because it looks good. Multiple dealers raised concerns with us about the poor Bluetooth performance in the factory-fitted units — with customers reporting call dropouts, poor audio quality, and pairing issues.
Rather than leave dealerships to deal with the fallout, we engineered a solution that not only solves the Bluetooth problem but also provides a better, larger interface that looks completely at home in the Pajero Sport dash.
Why we built it:
- To help Mitsubishi dealers resolve ongoing complaints about factory Bluetooth
- To provide a premium multimedia experience without compromising the dash aesthetic
- To improve customer satisfaction and reduce dealership aftersales issues
- To maintain factory controls and camera integration with an all-in-one upgrade
This is a real-world fix that gives both dealers and customers confidence.
