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 -...

i was wondering if you could take that pause out from in between each track while playing a cd because i have many cd's that plays straight through and blends/fades into the next track, and that pause/break is annoying me

Hi guys. Have the new Lancer Intense with the Bluetooth Handsfree. I have numbers saved in the phonebook (had to read out names and numbers) but when when of those numbers rings me it says no caller ID or who it is. When your driving you can't exactly look at the phone to see who it is. So what i want to know is there some way to get the names and numbers onto the car memory so it can tell me...

Hello
Does the RF Navi has RDS in radio?

Going under bridges or viaducts....even at highway speeds, for a brief second of being under there, the Sirius cuts out. I know the line of site...if the antenna can't receive a signal it won't work...but none of my other cars have this issue. Of course all of my other vehicles are equiped with XM.......

Does yours do the same?



I asked the dealership &...

went in today to check out the sterio and brought in my sansa and 9mm jk cable and only have rca L-R??

For some odd reason my A/C plug (the Cigar lighter one) won't work anymore and I don't know whats wrong with it... All I did was plug in an A/C adapter so I can play my 360 in my car. I got the one that they recommended at Best Buy and they said it should work with no problems. It was working fine for the first 30 seconds and then it just shut off. I figured I blew a fuse but I checked the...

I just brought a 2008 GTS practically brand new 8k miles, although it did not come with the nav/rockford fosgate audio system. I was wondering if its possible to get that all installed and about how much would it be if anyone knew?
Thanks

Hello everyone. New Lancer owner here.

The Hands-Free system volume is way louder than my radio and it seems like sound only comes out of the passenger side. Is there a way to tweek these settings?

Thanks!

I have searched high and low but I can not find the answer to this. Does anyone know if the factory Navigation unit has an unused preouts to run a different amp?

EDIT: I found the answer. The Nav does not have preouts.

Hey everyone, I am trying to install an amp into my '08 lancer gts with the RF 650 watt system and I know I have to connect the amp using the high current inputs but i do not know where to connect the wires too to make my new amp work??

Hey Ya'll, I was wondering if any of you know where I can track down an alternator with a higher amperage for the 2008 Lancer? Something that can actually put out the juice I need for my sound system.

hey i was looking to replace the 10 in. sub with one of my own because the stock one blew on me but when i took it apart i found out that there was 4 wires going to it i had never seen that b4 on a sub does anyone know how i would hook up the new sub because the new one oly has a spot for 2 wires

Company named Metra, makes the kits. They do not sell online, you would need to call them and ask for authorized dealer in your area. I got quoted $54 for the kit form a local audio shop.



And EXCELLENT installation instructions:


Kits will fit both with and without Navi system lancers. Availbale for 1 din and 2 din stereos.

Enjoy!

Hey Guys,

I have two Kaption SPL 12" Subs which I ripped out of my old Catera, and I'm thinking about dropping them into my '08 Lancer now.

The one thing I am worried about, is that if I push them, will I loosen up or damage any interior components?

The Subs pound nicely, and I have the matching Kaption amp, but I just don't want the car interior...

Hi
I tried to pair my iPhone with Lancer 2008 GTS and it failed.
Did some of you guys setup this connection?

Anyone know of a source for tweeters that can fit the doors of a regular 2008 ES? I know the wires are there and I would rather not have to 1) go to the dealer, and 2) drill holes. Any simple solutions? Crutchfield seems to come closest, but I doubt they can just be a 'plug and play' solution.

I bought my car at the end of January. My car was made like May of 2007.
In December, Mitsubishi came out with an update for the Lancers GPS which my car didn't get.



For those who got the updated software.....did you notice much of a difference in the maps?


My dealership is trying to tell me that I wouldn't see much of a difference & that I...

When I plug my iPod into the AUX ports near the ash tray it works as long as I am parked but as soon as I put the car in drive the nav says that AUX is not available. I only have the two ports for audio I do not have the yellow rca port for video. Is there a way to bypass this or should this even be...

i am getting a 12 inch solo baric kicker installed today , is it really worth it to change the stock system for a aftermarket one?

30GB is a lot of music my friends and I would love to fit as much music as possible on this bad boy, but a 2x rip speed is disgusting! I've been wondering if it was possible to actually pull the harddrive out of the MMCS, hook it up to a computer, and transfer all the songs I want manually?

Of course, this also opens the option of being able to replace the standard 30GB drive...

Hey everyone just purchase a 2008 Lancer GTS which comes with a FAST Key (Free-Hand Advanced Security Transmitter) entry system. Now I want to keep this option but add a security system. I was looking at various Viper products but was getting more and more confused. I don't want to loose any of my new cars options just add some stuff. I was told I can get a OEM Security Upgrade but don't...

Although many corporations, radio stations and consumers protested the merger, Feds allowed Sirius and XM merger today.. Now the question is what platform will they use? In other words, will xm's or Sirius's hardware become obsolete. Either way, i dont think they will create a system that will support both xm and sirius parallel, as it will cost them too much money. In other words, either...

The first call I either receive or attempt to make, each time after starting the engine, the bluetooth does not connect. This happens ALMOST EVERY time. It doesn't matter if it is 2 minutes after starting the engine, or 20 minutes.

When the first call comes in, it interrupts the music and says "incoming call," like it should. But when I push the answer button, the music...

Hi Guys,

I have the bluetooth handsfree system and Navi. When I talk to someone using the handsfree system, sometimes they complain that they hear a sizzling sound. They can still hear me well but they also hear a sizzle which comes and goes.

I was just wondering if anyone else has this and if it's normal...

Hi,

I bought my 2008 Lancer GTS with Sun&Sound Package, so I didn't have the Navigation. I purchased the Navigation System (MMCS) last week and had it installed at my dealer. I works great and I really like it so far.

There is just one thing about it that is bothering me a little. When I turn on the ignition and the MMCS turns on, it makes a very high frequency sound....

Do you guys know the model numbers for the speakers/amp/sub?

After months and months of arguing with mitsu and sirius I finally have some answers. So if you have a GTS w/o or any other model w/o sirius and would like to add it, here is what you need and prices and PART NUMBERS. First you will need to buy the universal tuner from sirius, which they just released about 2 weeks ago. Along with part numbers MZ360147EX and part number MZ360162EX. One part is...

so i was at circuit city getting my speakers and subs instaled(they did a really good job surprisingly) but when they went to install the speakers they said they couldnt because i had the stock navi and i had to buy a whole new head unit and rewire the amp...is this true i have to get a new head unit to install new speakers???

Hello guys,

I would like to improve the sound from the rear door speakers. They should be standard 6.5" speakers. Any tips on door panel removal or wiring hints? Thanks.
Joe

Has anyone changed frong/rear speakers themselves, or seen someone do it?
I cant figure out what to use in place of the plastic adapter that stock speakers are built into. I'm down to my last resort to actually cut the circles out of wood but thats too much friggin work. W/e happened to old cars, take stock out, put aftermarket in. crap

I want to replace the factory cd player. I was wondering where I can get a replacement air vent for a one din CD player and one wiring harness for a 08 lancer. Any ideas where to start, dealership is no help they can't point me in the right direction.

I cant find anywhere on how to take out the dash/stereo pieces. I got the silver part out, then what? All i need to do is tap into the stock antenna so I can use FM modular.
Any help is appreciated.
