alright guys. ilike many of you with the nav package have noticed, once the car starts moving it is impossible to watch a movie. u can only hear the sound. we all know tha is for safety reasons, however there is people who put lcd's all over the car. my question is this.. ever since i got the car I notced an input jack on the botton of the screen, that u can only see when the screen folds down to put a cd in.

when i asked the dealer during the test drive, the guy told my that was the input to connect ur ipod. ( which is not true).

then someone who knew what was talking about in the dealer told me to never touch or connect anything into it, cuz its for updates or modifications to the system.

so based on that..do u guys know if it is possible to overwrite that safety feature that prevents the screen of showing movies wile the cars is rolling? or does one have to get a whole new system to have that feature? any feedback?!?!?

Alright... so i've been doing some research and here is what i've come up with.

I like beer

Obviously i haven't been able to figure anything out. I want to retain my stock
Steering wheel controls and put in a new head unit... anyone work out how to do it?

hey there, hope somebody can help me.

I recently got a current model Lancer (in South Africa if that makes any difference) and am trying to figure out how to hook up my ipod. the owners manual shows an RCA jack just below the A/C controls. I have tried to open this and it doesn't want to budge - i have asked the dealership i bought it from and they could not get it open either - they say no one has asked about this before. is there some sort of trick to this? do i stick a screwdriver in and pop it open? don't want to force and break it!!

thanks.

Is there any way to have the ipod when plugged in actually display anything but the blank screen when in AUX mode? Having an ipod play everything is nice but would be so much better if it could be displayed on the screen as well.

Hey all... I mentioned this in a previous post..

So the story is; when I have my Ipod on (I have to use the aux jack down by the smoke tray) and The volume gets up to 25ish and higher I get a whistling sound that matches the rev's in the car. When I turn the volume up I get a constant faint whistling noise along with a loud rev matching loud whistle.

Note; The noise is alot louder when the ipod is on but on pause.

So basically from this i've been told it could be the altenator? is this a bad thing? and has anyone else noticed this before in their cars? and should I be concerned at all?

Cheers
AC

Hey all, just wanted to know if there is a fix for the stereo shut off. To be specific the way it automaticly shuts it self off after 20 er 30 mins wile on accesery mode. I like to play the tunes wile i am washing it or wile working in the garage. It's a real pain to keep going back and turning it back on. I do not have the nav as they don't offer it to us poor canadians (but we do have heated mirrors Yah!)So I asked at the dealership and they had no idea what to do. Any suggestions guys?

Ok i have a 97 eclipse..... i am wanting to do the tv and ps2 inside the car in the passenger side airbag slot.. i need to know how to get it open( the car has been wrecked and the airbag is blown) and how to make it go up and down... i was thinking a power antenna or something close to that... please help ,r

Just incase anyone wants one... read the listing carefully though

Nav System!

So I have a lancer GTS that came with the horrible rockford system and navi. I have replaced all the stock speakers and sub and the system sounds amazing. The only thing that sucks is that I have no Sub control with the after market sub with the stock nav system. So needless to say, I want to get an aftermarket nav system and wanted to know how much I could possibly sell the nav system for or if anyone on this site wants to purchase the navi from me? Any suggestions, thanks!

Check out this post Updated Ipod Aux Cable Install I did at Project Lancer, very detailed with cable info & step by step pics for the 2008 Lancer ES.

So i was sitting around playing with my new JVC touchscreen I had installed and "POP!!!" blew out one of my subs. They weren't very old but not to upset since I payed 40$ for them (a buddy was hammered and didn't even remember selling me them the next day hahaha) Probably going to replace them both just with a single sub in the trunk (would like some of my trunkspace back) just wondering if anyone has any recomendations on a single sub that is still going to pound. I love the low bass and love to hear the system pound, and have had my trunk Dynomatted so rattling is not an issue...

I will probably be keeping the same amp I am running now, it is a Pioneer PRS-D2000T, a full-range 150 watt x 2 (@ 4 ohm) rated amplifier that Pioneer refers to as Class FD...The PRS-D2000T sports a HP/LP/All-Pass 12dB crossover that ranges from 40Hz to 120Hz and a remote bass boost controller...
-1200 Watt
-Dual Channel / Bridgeable Amplifier

Kept my baby clean & shiny for 8 months now & i know sirius & XM are doing this recent channel merger but today it updated channels & shit me back "Antenna Failure" yet my GPS & radio work? WTF Over?

Hi All,

Just got a SAT ERROR on my radio. Called Sirius and they had no idea how to fix it. They suggested I contact my dealer to get the radio reset. So before I resorted to that, I tried pulling the radio fuse and waited a bit then put it back in, and whatdya know, it worked! So on the '08 Lancer GTS, pull fuse 7 to reset the radio and clear the SAT ERROR.



Dave

So I have the Stock Nav system with aftermarket amp, interior speakers, and Sub.I really want to keep the Nav unit but hate that since I installed the aftermarket amp, that I cant control the bass to the sub separately like originally when the stock amp was still in. When my friend installed my system, he still kept the stock wire harness and hooked up all the connections to it. If no one will buy the stock nav from me, does anyone know if it is possible to get the separate sub bass control back with the NAV unit?

Sorry if this has already been asked but I have an 09 Lancer ES and I wanna switch my a/c to the climate control unit. Will it just plug up?

i'm putting in a audiobahn 12 and 1000watt amp in my 08 GTS. i'm no expert at installing speakers but i know what i'm doing.

i'm just needing to know if i need anything special to hook it up to my stock RF head unit or can i just plug it right into the back of it?

thanks to anyone who can offer some help

Ive got a 2008 lancer and i have 2 JL w3v2's pushed by a 4000 watt max lanzar max pro amp(amp came used with 4 of the jls for a steal but soon to be replaced with a crunch amp 4 each sub) my headlights dim hooribly with the subs barely beating, i have to replace the 8gauge wire that my dumass put in with 4gauge soon cuz my amp goes into protect at low volume already as i forgot when i was installing it that i was putting in 2 jl's not sum walmart subs and i was wondering if i could do nething to help take the strain off the alternator....on my last oil change i asked my mechanic who always has 4 subs and caps and amps in his truck what to do and he told me to put in a 1 fehr cap for every 1000 watts im pushing is that the only thing i can really do besides finding a stronger alternator(which i dont even think anyone makes 4 our cars) ive never put a system in a car with an engine this small and an alternator this weak so someone please help me out

Hey guys. I am very interested in getting this deck but is it possible to have this installed on our cars? (2008 Lancer GTS)/


http://www.al-eds.com/product.php?productid=18726

I just picked up my '09 GTS today (Rally Red CVT w/ Sun & Sound and Navi), and the dealer said that for '09, Mitsubishi only gives you one FAST key and a spare key.

The parts guy said a second FAST key would run about $140 + $40 for programming. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a place that sold them for less.

I searched the forums, and checked out a bunch of the different links to parts stores, but didn't come up with anything.

Hey I got an 08 es lancer with the navi package and I didn't get sirius with it. I was just woundering if there was anyway I can get a sirius tuner so i can run it trough the navi system instead of just using the external radios. Thanks in advance for any help

Hi guys, i need to connect my newly purchased Nav system to my parking brake positive wire. Anyone of you know where this wire is, and also how to find it. thanks

Can someone post instructions on how to remove the stock CD deck. I got a dash kit and i want to install a new double din car deck in my lancer 2008. Greatly appreciated.

So, those of us fortunate few that actually have the Navigation package were able to patch the system so you can watch DVD's while driving. Personally, I prefer to listen to music while I drive, which is where my topic comes into play.

I prefer the way the Navi allows you to browse music on a MP3 CD rather than my MP3 player throught the Aux jack, so I was wondering if it was possible to actually create a DVD chock full of music? 4.7GB is a whole lot of music... which is perfect for me since I'd never have to swap CD's ever again!

Is it possible to burn a data DVD that the Navi will read like a CD? Or do we have to create a custom menu with chapters and tracks and blah?

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know which color wire is the positive one, that comes from the back of the factory radio...I have yellow and a mint green color. Any clue..

Hello, Im about to purchase my 09 Lancer, I'm getting the stock radio system, so I can purchase a better audio source somewhere.

My question is, can you direct me to a place that sells faceplates to apply single or double DIN audio systems?

Thank you!

Sorry if this is already a topic or has been discussed elsewhere but i could not find another topic.

My questions are whether or not anyone has figured out a simple way to add songs to music server/HDD. I know the songs must be in .cda format but is there any other way besides burning like 20 songs at a time and then having to add them over to music server? Mind you half the time i get some focus error and whatever is on the CD is then having to be erased and tried again.

Another question is whether or not the HDD can come out and you can then hook it up to a computer and rip songs directly onto it. Not in .mp3 or .wma format, but obviously in the .cda format after changing the format on all the music files.

Has anyone noticed the sound quality when you use the rca things? Everytime i plug in my ipod, theres static. I was just wondering if anyone else had this, and if there was a fix for it. Oh and i have an es with sun and sound if that matters.

i got the lancer 2009 gts AT
i'm kindda old school and i like more the highs than the bass
i just replace the front stock speakers for the pioneer TS-A1672R ones
really nice sound, now i can hear every detail. stock speakers sucks BT

i was thinking to upgrade the twiters now before go for the rear upgrade

sugestions really really welcome please

hey everyone!

just had a quick question. and i havent read the entire owners manual so, im sorry if the answer is in there, but here's the question:

instead of making a music video dvd (which i was in the process of making) can i just put the videos in my flash drive and swap it over to the hdd????? and will it play?

So I pull into work today at 6:30am, turn car off, open the door, car dings at me and gives me the turn off your headlights message, I always just leave them on anyway, and in a few seconds they shut off. I close the door, set the alarm, and walk away. I am 99.5% sure the lights were off as it was still dark out and I would have noticed. About 8am I get a message from a co-worker that my lights were on. I say no way, they turn off by themselves. So I go out and look and sure enough the lights were on. I open the door and the dinging noise is going off like I left the lights on, but that cant be because they turn off when you open the door after shutting the engine off. I doubt they were on for 1-1/2 hours as the car started right up like normal, I would think 1-1/2 with lights on would kill the battery.
Anyone ever seen or heard of this? The lights just came on by themselves hours later.
If the alarm went off, and then reset itself, do the lights stay on for a period of time?
Any ideas?

Does anyone know what is wrong with my FAST key?
All of a sudden none of the buttons work on my FAST key but I could still grab the handle to have the door automatically unlock and could turn on the car without inserting the key.
It wasn't the battery because my spare key which I've never really used had the same problem.
I took it into the Mitsu dealer and they tried to sort it out but in the process, the problem worsened and the door handle sensor and ignition sensor don't work now so I have to take the key out of the fob to open the door and start the car.
They ordered two new fobs but i don't know if that's the problem or something in the car's electronics.
Anyone else experienced this or know what is going on?

Where is a good place to buy a harness kit for an aftermarket radio? I bought a radio from crutchfield and the harness they sent me doesn't work. Then i went to their website and saw the only harness they have is for a 2007. Please help if u have a harness that works already

what up Lancers!!!! My name is Rico and I'm from Rio Rancho, NM, I've got an 08 es model with the standard features only but one day I held down the cd/mp3 button on the radio and it switched to aux but I don't have the input connections that you get with the tech pkg, I just have a solid piece of plastic above the ashtray. My question is does the factory es radio have any aux inputs in the back of it so I can just run the cable from the rear of the radio alongside the middle consul. If anyone has any Ideas on hot to make this work please do advise. I don't want to use an fm transmitter, I hear you get static and sound is not clear. Thanks in advance for your input

Interested in making my own just wondering if anyone has made their own and if they can post some pics

Well Guys the install went really well i think i did ok for my first time. Everything looks stock really integrated in the dash. Im getting really great sound from this thing and i havent even changed my speakers yet. Sorry the pics arent that great with a camera phone. I will take some night time pics too when i get a chance.
