We Just Upgraded a 70 Series LandCruiser — Here's What We Installed and Why It Sounds Awesome
Alpine i905-LC70 Head Unit + Alpine LC70-R269P Speaker Pods = Game Changer

We just finished working on one of the cleanest 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series wagons we've seen roll into the shop. The factory setup? Yeah, pretty basic. But not anymore. This rig drove out with a full Alpine upgrade that completely transformed the in-car audio and entertainment experience — and it looks and sounds incredible.

Here’s the breakdown of what we installed and why it seriously levels up the 70 Series.

Custom Alpine Speaker Pods Made Just for the 70 Series

Alpine LC70-R269P Front Speaker Pods

Let’s be honest: the stock speaker setup in the 70 Series doesn’t exactly scream “premium.” So we fitted Alpine’s purpose-built LC70-R269P 6.5" speaker pods into the doors, which were designed specifically for this model. These pods look like they came from the factory — the finish matches perfectly, the fitment is clean, and there’s no cutting or hacking involved.

What makes them awesome:

• Custom fit for 70 Series LandCruiser (2024 onwards)

• Factory-look finish that blends into the door trims

• Designed to hold 6.5” component speakers (hello better mids and cleaner highs)

• Super sturdy construction that won’t rattle or shift

• All mounting hardware included for a neat and tidy install

We paired the pods with a set of Alpine component speakers (sold separately), and the sound improvement is next level — crystal clear vocals, solid mid-bass, and way more punch than the original setup.

The Heart of the Upgrade: Alpine i905-LC70 9" Head Unit

Next up was swapping out the factory head unit for something a bit more 2025 — the Alpine i905-LC70, which is basically the ultimate plug-and-play infotainment solution for this LandCruiser.

It’s got a 9” high-res screen, a custom-fit dash fascia made just for the 70 Series, and every feature you’d want for daily driving, road-trips, and off-roading.

Packed with features like:

• 9” WXGA display with super sharp visuals (no more squinting at your maps)

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (plus wired USB if that’s more your style)

• Dual USB ports and HDMI input (easy to hook up your devices)

• Dual camera inputs (we ran one to the rear camera and left one ready for a front cam)

• Built-in Bluetooth, DAB+ digital radio, and full Hi-Res Audio support with LDAC

• Fully integrated dash kit that makes it look factory — no ugly gaps, no dodgy trims

We ran the new wiring, got the head unit in, set up the cameras, and once it powered on, it was one of those moments where you go — yep, worth every cent.

So, Why Go With Alpine for the 70 Series?

Alpine has nailed it with this setup. Everything fits properly, works straight out of the box, and gives the 70 Series the modern tech it deserves without compromising the rugged factory vibe. It's tough gear that actually enhances the driving experience, whether you're commuting, towing, touring, or heading into the bush.
