OUTLANDER

Outlander is an all-new mid-size SUV built off a newly developed global platform. With the option of both five and seven seats, the Japanese domestic Outlander debuts a brand new powertrain and borrows heavily from technology nurtured in the Lancer Evolution series to deliver hard-hitting on-road performance that raises the bar for SUVs.

Hi, my father just bought a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander LS with the 3.0L engine and we are really curious if theres any possible way to boost the HP on it.. or are we going to have to wait for aftermarket parts for it to come out.

We are looking for anything.. sites..

Thanks alot!

Just want to know what people's mileages are on the XLS 4WD. Especially people from the british columbia area. I want to know how fuel efficient this car is. I drive 70% highway and 30% city.

Hi guys

Hey everyone,

I don't know about all of you, but I have been searching high and low for one of these dash kits. I have the factory 6 disc system and I want to put in a dual din navigation system. Check it out:

I have a 08 Outlander SE with 2k miles which I'm loving so far...

However, I noticed that when the sunroof is open in the 'vent' position it rattles while driving at lower speeds (30-40 mph).

Also, when the rear windows are open about an inch, they also rattle.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I realize I'm rolling on 18" wheels...

In late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. Relative ratings obscure too much--how large is the difference between "better than average" and "worse than average"? I’ll also be updating results four times a year, so there will be...

i would like to know how to reset the oil service indicator without going to the shop.

i would like to inform everyone about the clunking noise in the front end and that they have a letter out for it in the service department . the wrong grease was put in the axel's and in cold weather they make a clicking noise like the axle has failed, parts have been ordered for mine and...

Ok I'm going kinda crazy with this. First thing the stock radio has a single cd for mp3 which I think is great. I really wanted an AUX port for my ipod or my other mp3 players. I really hate wasting cd-r's and the books I have on audio files are AA files that I'm really not wanting to convert to mp3. Got myself a radio ipod interface that works well if you remove the external...

the 2x4 2008 mitsu outlander has a built in stereo..... i cant find the rca output or the remote wires for me to connect my amplifier...... tried tapping in the high level conversion but i get a static sound from the speakers. its like you can hear a spinning disc..... please anyone help me.....

Hi There. Does anybody have any idea if there is any aftermarket Rear Differential Lock for the Outlander? Or anything similar?

The one option I wish Mitsubishi offered in America is the Backup camera, I would really like to have one as I am terrible with backing up. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good aftermarket camera, preferably one that attaches to the license plate, that uses an RCA type cable so I could just hook it up to the AUX jack and then just switch to the AUX input when backing up. I would really like to...

Hello... New to the forum, and I'm checking out the 2008 Outlander. The truck is an XLS 2WD, with nav, towing package, sun/sound, luxury...

I'm looking at a lease deal, as well. 12k miles, and under 48 months.

Over on another "townhall" car forum, folks are claiming $1500 below invoice. That would place it at $26 to 26,5k roughly. Is this...

Hi,

does anybody know if there are window sills/a window trip kit available that include all side windows? I have seen a couple solutions online that I don't like.
Note: I attached an image to explain what I am looking for. The highlighted red area should be either stainless steel or chrome.

Hi
I have 2007 Outlander LS.
I have purchased this car with 18K miles on it from a non-Mitsubishi dealer.
I am trying to start the blue-tooth feature on it. I read thru the manual more than 3 times, I cannot figure out which is the first step.
I do understand the car has to be in Parking gear (with parking brakes applied) to set-up the Bluetooth(pairing).

Though...

I just helped my friend buy an 07 Outlander XLS over the weekend. She wants to get the cross bars on top for her Kayak as well as a hitch on back for her bike rack. What roof rack / cross bars should we get and is that something we can install ourselves? I'm assuming the hitch would be pretty standard. She already has the bike rack from her last vehicle. Any information is helpful. ...

I just ordered the trailer hitch/wire harness for my 2007 XLS. I noticed that the spare tire is directly touching the back of the bumper.

Has anyone installed the hitch on there own.. am I going to have to remove the spare tire?

Hey everybody,

I was browsing ebay for stuff related to the Outlander. There are several cheap peformance chips promising anywhere from +60 to +100 HP (and more importantly...) +20 to +30MPG. Has anyone ever actually purchased any of these? Do they do what they say they do?

My wife and I are looking at buying an 08 LS with sun and sound package (and possibly nav) and are wondering what we can get one for. Please post what model and options you have and what you paid. If you happen to know the invoice price in Canada please let me know that too.

Thanks

Hi,

I just bought my wife & kid an 07 fully loaded blk/blk XLS. We love it! It has the best mix of utility, luxury & sports.

One thing I'm noticing is that I only get between 12.8 to 13.4 gallons on a fill-up (for the past 5-6 fill ups). I'm running the car until the refuel light flashes and notice that there are about 3 pixel bars left. Does this...

Hi

Does anyone know how to reset the service indicator without special instruments?

I have the Volkswagen 2 liter diesel engine and manual 6-speed.

Hi,

Is there any way to switch distance measuring from miles to kilomteres & switch radio to tune every 1/10 not 2/10 like US version do?

hey whats up im new to this and to forums all together so any help will be appreciated. i bought my outlander in march and i've been loving just about everything about it. one problem that im having is when i have ppl in my car for long trips i can play movies for them to watch , only hear which takes the fun out of having a dvd player in your new car. i was wondering if anyone had any clue as...

Hi,

I need input from XLS with Nav owners with winter tires. I have a 2008 that I bought on Monday. I need to put winter tires on but the dilemma is the TPMS (Tire pressure monitor sensors).

The plan was to put 16" alloys that I already had with Snow and Ice tires. Without the TPMS sensors in place, I know there will be warnings at each startup and a light that...

I have an 07 Outlander XLS. Has anyone put running boards or Nerf bars on their Outlander? Also, has anyone put a grill guard on their Outlander? I am trying to get some ideas. I may put some meatier tires on eventually as well. If anyone has pics please pass them on.

Has anyone installed an ipod on a 2007 Outlander?

Is there a way to change the scan function on the steering wheel radio control to cycle through my presets instead of just scanning all radio stations? Kind of stupid if you can't.

Does anyone know how to set the 2008 outlander fast key to unlock all the doors from the driver's door? it will unlock all doors from the passenger side and tailgate, but not the driver's door. the owners manual says it can be setup to do this, but i can't find any instructions on how. its a little annoying to have to open the door and then hit the unlock button on the door...kind...

Have a 3 week old Outlander.

The question I have is can I adjust the volume of the click that the Indicator makes?

Hi All -

Just a little heads up. This morning I jumped into my 2007 Outlander (Aussie Spec with the CVT) and I couldn't move the gear selector out of park.

After doing all the usual checks (checked fuses, are brake lights working etc) I gave up and called RACQ (our local roadside assistance guys).

Between us, we discovered that by holding the 'Hold...

Hello -

Thanks for reading and possibly answering my post. I have a couple of questions and one issue with my 2007 Outlander MMCS:

Questions:

1. Who provides the underlying data for the navigation system? Is there an update available yet from the data provider or Mitsubishi?

2. Will the Nav update also update the audio system, there are many...

1 I heard a rumour that it is technically possible to re engineer the Mitsubishi communications system to play DVD's whilst on the move .... is it tecnically possible?

2 is it possible to get a TV tuner - even better a UK DVB reciver fitted as an option the the Mitsubishi communications system?

3 Is it possible to get a UK...

So, our 2007 Outtie has had the transmission update but now it is doing something different. We will be driving around at a normal speed, under normal stress and it feels like the transmission is jumping from 5th to 4th and back to 5th really quickly. We definitely feel a jerk for no reason.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yesterday after I got home from work, I pulled my car in the garage, and like I sometimes do, I reved it up. It did something different than it usually does though. When the rpms reached 3000 the engine started to cut out. It would just bounce there off the 3000 mark and would not let it go any higher. I know some vehicles have the saftey mechanisms in place, but why would it just start doing...

Once every so often when I turn off the car the key will be stuck in the ignition and cannot be taken out. To remove it I have to start the car again and wait for a while before trying to remove the key. Is there something wrong with the car?

Hi,

For all the obvious reasons (search google for all the BADs of using it), I need to turn it off. How, anyone? Thanks.

Ok is it just me or am I having a strange aligment problem. My car started bouncing around so I brought it to a shop. The tires in the front were balding on the outside of the tread. They said the tires were cheap and the aligment was trown off. I bought two other tires and now the oem tires that came with the car are balding again and the alignment feels off again.

Am I doing...

Hi – I am a recently divorced single mom – I love my Outlander but on my limited income I cannot afford to pay for any major breakdowns. I feel an extended warranty is a must. I have done some shopping and comparing and I believe I am going to purchase one from a lady at mitsubishiwarranties.com

Has anyone had any experience –good or bad with them? Please advise.

Has anyone installed any aftermarket interior lighting for the footwells? - Similar to the official 08 Lancers accessory one I guess. Looking for perhaps a very low power LED red light that matches the centre console lighting.

Hey guys,

I have the stock 6 disc stereo in my XLS Outlander. I was wondering if any of you know who the manufactuer is of that stereo?

I can buy the Sirius Satellite box from the dealership for about $210 + another $90 for the install parts, OUCH! I would rather find out if the stereo is made by a different electronics company, such as Panasonic or whoever,...

So I've been looking all over the internet for information about this car and that aux port. Someone mentioned pulling the back panel off the center console. I removed it and there were two wires. They looked familar. I know I've seen them before. Dang. When I pulled my Lancer apart it was the plugs for the accessory socket or the cigarette adaptor for those that have older Mitsu...

Anyone knows if there is a rear tyre carrier that fits the Outlander out in the market? I know there exist accessories like that but I haven't seen any suitable for Outlander II...

Thank you

Hi, I own the Australian ZG Outlander LS (Base-model).

This is what the interior looks like - black plastic everywhere with black doors.

Basically I want to change some parts of the door trims and plastic around the gear knob to metallic silver like the upper luxury models.

was thinking of replacing my wiper blades... will bosch icon fit the front wipers and the bosch hindsight fit the rear? or are there any other brands that you can suggest? thanks.....

That is very restrictive. The pipe in several places is crushed. Someone needs to come up with an aftermarket pipe setup.

I would bet that it would free up 30+ hp.

Does anybody make it yet?

The Outlander Dakar edition is a diesel powered vehicle. It's a modified production vehicle fitted with aero parts, carrier box, roll cage, and other modifications to allow it to withstand the grueling challenge of the desert. The powertrain itself was not modified, so durability of the engine will somehow reflect actual reliability of the Outlanders sold to the public [UK and EU].

Does any one know if Mitsubishi plans on releasing software updates to the Multi-Communication System?

It only makes sense that they do. As with any software they can continue to update it and iron out any kinks, bugs, shortcomings, etc..

One thing that drives me insane... The MusicServer & CD Player have no Pause/Play button nor does it have a mute button.

please anyone can help me out,how to turn off the DRL on my 07 outlander.Thanks
