About this kit

Built for long runs—highway stints, back roads, trailheads. The kit suits the Outlander cabin and is fast to launch, so navigation and music are ready when you roll. The fascia looks factory and keeps controls tidy. Hardware is engineered for AU thermal reliability, so it stays stable when the cabin heats up.

Supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto via CarLink 2.0 (pre-installed).

2006-2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Head Unit Kit

OEM-style, solid fit

The fascia suits the Outlander dash for a tidy, OEM-style look. Mounting points line up and the unit sits solid, so rattles don't creep in on corrugations. Steering-wheel controls stay active and the factory reverse camera is retained where fitted. It's a clean swap that keeps the cabin organised for long runs and daily driving.
  • Solid, rattle-free mounting
  • OEM-look fascia finish
  • Controls and camera retained

Clear at highway speed

Highway noise isn't a problem when you can shape the sound. Use the 16–31-band EQ, per-channel time alignment and sub controls to set staging. Bluetooth supports high-quality codecs and the pre-outs make amp upgrades easy. Plays nice with Rockford Fosgate factory systems found on some ZG/ZH trims, keeping the path clean for future changes.
  • EQ, time alignment, staging
  • Amp-friendly with pre-outs
  • Works with Rockford Fosgate

Hands-free on the road

Go cable-free with wireless CarLink 2.0. CarPlay and Android Auto bring voice control for calls and messages, quick directions and easy playlist control without touching your phone. Use Google Maps for guidance and Spotify for music on the run. Reconnects are quick after fuel or coffee stops, so you're back to the route in seconds.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Google Maps and Spotify
  • Quick, reliable reconnects

Works when reception doesn't

Heading beyond coverage? Download map areas before you go and keep turn-by-turn guidance when reception drops, or save mobile data on long trips. Pair a compact OBD2 dongle and open Torque to watch coolant temps, read basic codes or see boost on turbo models. Handy for climbs, towing or diagnosing a hiccup on the road.
  • Map areas for offline
  • Torque temps and codes
  • Useful for climbs/towing

The current standard is still 28 nm—slower and hotter, with only the highest end units running 12 nm.

  • spec transparency
  • modern silicon
  • fast boot
  • cool, stable runs
Displays you enjoy looking at

No dim, plasticky panels.

Yes. It plays nice with Rockford Fosgate systems in select trims. Use the correct harness; pre-outs are available if you plan amp or sub upgrades.

How does the screen handle AU heat and daytime glare?

Hardware is built for Aussie heat and the UI stays responsive. The bright panel and tidy fascia help readability for highway stints and rough-road touring.
