Exclusively developed by IRB Developments / Integrated 316, this centre dash upgrade panel is a precision-engineered solution for integrating modern halo / floating-screen head units into the Land Rover Defender 2007 - 2016 interior.
Designed to require zero irreversible dashboard modifications, installation involves no cutting, drilling, or permanent alterations to the factory dashboard or wiring. This ensures the system remains fully reversible, while preserving the integrity of the original vehicle architecture.
The panel enables a factory-grade (OEM+) integration of today’s most advanced floating-screen stereos, while also offering optional additional switch provisions. This is particularly beneficial on 2015MY high-spec Defender models, where spare factory switch locations are not available.
Please note: Head unit not included.
The panel has been engineered around the following halo-style stereos, although compatibility may extend to other units with similar mounting geometry:
Alpine iLX-F905D
Pioneer SPH-EVO950DAB
All our audio equipment is supplied via https://www.sourcesounds.com/, ensuring correct specification and supply of all required installation components. Please note that certain versions of Alpine and Pioneer head units do not include all necessary mounting and interface hardware as standard.
Source Sounds will supply everything required for a straightforward installation.
A supply and professional installation service is available for customers seeking a complete turnkey solution.

6 × OEM-style Spring Retention Clips
Hazard Switch Configuration (option dependent):
Extension harness to relocate the original Defender hazard switch, or
Discovery 2 hazard switch with Futurenet Controller, providing a fully plug-and-play electrical conversion
Discover 2 hazard switch hole - no switch or contoller included
2 × Foam Blanking Panels for Heater Vents
For installations using the Discovery 2 hazard switch, we recommend upgrading to a USB / USB-C charging socket to replace the factory Land Rover unit. This upgrade is available separately from our shop.
While not positioned as the lowest-cost option, this panel is unmatched in installation efficiency and integration quality.
No supplementary switch panels are required, no additional apertures are introduced, and no permanent wiring modifications are necessary.
The result is a clean, ergonomically optimised OEM+ installation, positioning the head unit at an improved eye-line height compared to traditional double-DIN configurations, while maintaining full visibility and accessibility of all dashboard controls.
Manufactured in the UK.
Images showing a light grey panel depict the production-intent prototype.
Note - lead times typcially 5 - 7 days for satin black, 14 days for painted
