ONBOARD COMPUTER FOR PUMA AND TD5
Your dash gives you a needle. We're giving it a voice.
UF Command is an onboard computer for classic Defenders. It reads your engine, your tyres and your fault codes live, and tells you in plain English when something needs attention.
Not much of a conversation
A Defender is built to take you days from the nearest tar road. Its dash was built to tell you very little about how it's coping.
In the cab, live, while you drive
UF Command plugs into your Defender's diagnostic port, adds its own sensors, and puts what matters on a small display in your line of sight.
Coolant you can see
A leak won’t necessarily move the temperature needle. UF Command watches the coolant level too, and warns you the moment it drops.
Every tyre, every corner
Pressure and temperature for all four tyres and the spare, with how recently each sensor reported. A slow leak shows up as a falling number long before you’d feel it.
Fault codes in plain English
When the engine light comes on, UF Command reads the code and tells you what it means, at the roadside, without a laptop.
Calls and media in your line of sight
Who’s calling and what’s playing, shown on the display, so your eyes stay on the road instead of on your phone.
Warnings are graded
Nothing in between to ignore.
Built for where Defenders actually go
UF Command records every journey on the device itself, no signal needed. Bush, lodge, Lesotho pass, it doesn't matter. When you're back on Wi-Fi or your phone's data returns, it syncs to the cloud.
IOS AND ANDROID MOBILE APPEvery reading your Defender has ever taken
Journeys with route maps, service history and tyre lifecycle, in the owner's app.
Fill up and UF Command notices. Your phone asks you to confirm the refill, price and mileage, so your fuel spend keeps itself.
The record belongs to the vehicle, not to you. If your Defender changes hands, its history goes with it. Provenance, finally, for a car that's always deserved it.

Puma and Td5
Same system, two displays, each designed for the dash it lives in.
Puma
2007 – 2016Td5
1998 – 2006Why we're building it
We rebuild Defenders for a living. Almost every serious failure we see started small and quiet: a slow coolant loss, an EGT that crept up over a season, a fault code nobody read.
UF Command exists so that the car tells you first, and so that twenty years from now its history is not a mystery.
David & Andrea, Unreal FendiQuestions
When can I get one?
UF Command arrives in 2027. Everyone on the early-interest list hears about launch timing and how to order before anyone else.
How much will it cost?
Pricing hasn’t been announced yet. List members get it first, before it’s published anywhere else.
Which Defenders does it fit?
Classic Defenders with the Td5 or the Puma (2.4 and 2.2 TDCi) engine. Each has its own display designed for its dash.
Does it replace my instruments?
No. Your original gauges and warning lights keep working. UF Command adds the information they don’t give you.
Do I need phone signal or the app?
No. The display works on its own and records every journey on the device. The UF Companion app adds history, route maps and sync when you have a connection.
Do I need UF Command to use UF Companion?
No. Each works on its own. UF Companion keeps your Defender’s service history, records and provenance with or without UF Command. Use both, and journeys, tyre readings and fault codes from UF Command flow into UF Companion automatically. More about UF Companion.
Can it clear fault codes?
Yes. It reads stored codes in plain English and can clear them with the engine off, after a confirmation step.
What happens to the data if I sell my Defender?
The record belongs to the vehicle. The new owner gets its full history: journeys, service and tyre records.
I run a fleet or a lodge. Is it for me?
Yes. UF Companion Web shows alerts, service due and workshop updates across every vehicle, and can track engine hours alongside kilometres.
Can I become an early tester?
If you’re in Johannesburg and keen, join the list and reply to our welcome email telling us about your Defender.
