Review on Mitsubishi Evolution Aftermarket Installation Install by Hector Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great dashboard kit, very pretty

This is a very good dashboard kit. It looks good, goes well with my 2x DIN radio and fits *almost* perfectly - the top right corner is a little higher than it should be, but you wouldn't notice unless you looked for it. The included wiring harness was properly connected and each wire is even labeled - a nice touch! A few features of the Lancer radio wiring itself to keep in mind are not dashboard or wiring harness issues, but installation tips. Please note this is for a 2009 Lancer DE:1. There is no ACC wire in the Lancer radio wiring harness (the wire that only gets 12V when the ignition key is turned). The wiring harness that came with the dash has this wire, but the Lancer does not. You need to connect the radio's ACC wire to something like a cigarette lighter circuit. I did this using a fuse extension from the fuse box.2. The Lancer radio wiring harness does not have a ground wire. I just got the metal frame around the radio.3. The OEM dash has a small connector for a passenger airbag warning light which aftermarket radios do not support.

Pros
  • Car audio video installation
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other parts
