How We Make Our Products

Every PVS product is designed, engineered, specified and tested in Australia before it reaches a customer. Here is how that process works.

Designed and engineered in Australia

Product development starts in our Sydney workshop. We design and engineer each product for a specific vehicle, working from the factory dash, wiring and trim outwards so the finished result looks and works as though Toyota or Nissan fitted it. This is the discipline PVS was built on: clean integration and proper engineering, not generic parts adapted to fit.

Specified and built to our standard

We specify the materials, hardware and components for every product and have them built to that specification. Where products are produced for us, they are made to PVS engineering requirements, then configured, set up with our own software where applicable, and finished to our standard. A PVS product is defined by the engineering, specification, software and support behind it, not treated as an off-the-shelf item.

Quality-tested in Australia

Before a product is offered for sale it is quality-tested in Australia by our team. Head units are set up with our software and tuning and checked for function. Wiring systems are validated for plug-and-play fit on the target vehicle. Steering products are checked against fitment and finish standards. Testing in Australian conditions is part of why our products install reliably and behave predictably in the field.

Plug-and-play wiring engineering

We develop proprietary plug-and-play wiring so our products connect to your vehicle without cutting the factory loom. This protects the wiring, improves reliability, keeps the installation reversible, and is a large part of what makes a PVS upgrade look and feel factory fitted.

ADR compliance and independent assessment

Our steering wheel upgrades are independently assessed and certified for compliance with the relevant Australian Design Rules. Independent engineering assessment is a higher bar than most aftermarket parts are held to, and it is one we chose to meet because our customers drive these vehicles on public roads. See our ADR Compliance page for detail.

Continuous improvement from real-world feedback

The LandCruiser and Patrol communities are knowledgeable and demanding, and their real-world feedback on builds and installs feeds directly back into our development. Products are refined over time based on what owners and workshops report, which is only possible because we engineer and support them ourselves.
