i'm from Miami, (120 degrees inside a car parked under sun rays) i had a pioneer Avic 900 BT, nice unit. My tips for everyone is to have these multifuntional expensive units instaled with some ruber or damper material around, also provide a good ventilation or heat protection, maybe an 4" electric fan, or they wont last much with all the vibrations, hard suspention and heat
unless you get one of the last "solid state" hard drive units be carefull driving with these units or you will finish like me, changing hard drives every 3 months.

Dang, these systems look good. I guess it was only a matter of time they would have came out with a kit for these cars to install double din systems. Makes me wish I opted for a non-factory Navi system........

HeavyD, if I'm right, you got the PAC SWI-Jack adapter from Crutchfield to control the deck from the steering? Does it work well and is it hard to install? On their website they say that an additional adapter may be needed.. is that true? Also, does it retain the BlueTooth controls (to connect the cellphone) on the steering wheel?

If you have the Fosgate System you will need the Mito-02 harness;

I'm not sure about retaining the bluetooth. You will have to research that.

Is there redundancy in the PAC Switch and the Blue Tooth Adapter? I have the Blue Tooth steering wheel controls, so if the PAC retains that, why do I need the Alpine specific Blue Tooth adapter?

So, if I have the non RF system I don't need the Mito harness? What do I need to plug the unit in? Do I have to splice wires or is there another adapter harness?

I also had the OEM BT installed and searched the entire web to find any solution to retain those steering wheel control (SWC) buttons (and the microphone). As far as I know, you cannot retain ANY of the factory BT parts with a Lancer/Alpine setup. I know that the PAC SWI-PS could do it, but only with a Pioneer/Sony unit and it is not compatible with Lancers. The module I used for the SWC is Access ASWC (by Metra). I've seen some lag issues with the PAC SWI-Jack on forums, that's why I went for Access (which works flawlessly BTW). It also can be programmed with more functions. It has the possibility to be programmed for BT phone SWC, but it seems that it cannot recognize Lancer BT controls... maybe there will be an update someday (you can update the module with a USB cable). Finally, I installed the KCE-400BT (w/ INA-w900) and wired the microphone inside the reading lights plate, using the touch buttons on the screen the answer/hang-up (which isn't that bad anyway).
And the harness you need for a 2008+ Lancer is the Metra #70-7005 (Scosche also has one). You don't need the splice wires for most of the connections, BUT I had to splice 2 wires on the original harness for the ASWC because they were not (or I couldn't find them) in the Metra harness.

No, I installed the INA-w900, KCE-400BT with a Scosche kit, Access ASWC and TR-7 module (to bypass the brakes wires), nothing more... wish I had more money

Check it out I never post, I usually just read but I had to this time. I got hooked up fat. I just got the w900bt in the mail today for $749. Seriously just wanted to let who ever does not have one yet know, so they can get hooked up. Just thought I would share the wealth....pacificstereo.com INAW900BT9151
