Hi There,

I have a Mitsu Lancer Intense 1.8 B10 (EU GTS-version).

I have the stock Rockford Fosgate Stereo with 6-cd changer (8701A260) and the factory fitted sub in the back and recently bought a Outlander non-navi touch radio (8701A560; I think 2014) which I would like to build in.

Now I understand the 2014 Lancers are fittied with this same radio. The connectors all fit, but if I connect the new radio there is no sound. Also a lot of warnings pop-up on the onboard diagnosesystem.

Can anybody help me out and tell me how I can fix this or why this won't work?

Thanks in advance.

 

Possibly I found why this will not work. I guess my Stock radio is equiped with a factory amp under the driver seat. Possibly works via CANBUS.

The Outlander radio has a built in amplifier and there does not steer the amp and does not support the CANBUS, giving all the errors.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

I can confirm that the factory amplifier is activated through can-bus. (data turn-on)

I dont think that the radio you acquired will be compatible with your vehicle.

 

HI, I have a question regarding this. How do you 'Turn On' the factory amp with an aftermarket radio?

 

Use Metra part mito-02

 

The factory amp is really bad. You could get a sub-par $100 4-channel amp it will be loads better than the stock one. Go the extra mile, you wont regret it.

 

An aftermarket amp is preferred but unless you want to fry it you have to replace all your speakers too. I believe the stock amplified speakers meter out at 1ohm. Most amps operate at 4 ohms, sometimes 2. The decreased resistance will cause an inexpensive amplifier to overheat and possibly short out. The best bet is to check and make sure that it is a high current amplifier and that it is 1 ohm stable. Most amplifiers that are 1 ohm stable are used for a subwoofer applications and have mono output.

 

Its the MITO-03 now.

 

This is a terrible idea.

1. $100 sub-par 4 channel in $40,000 sports car. Fail

2. You cannot replace the stock amplifier and keep the stock speakers unless you are willing to invest $$$$ and find a company that makes a 1 ohm stable 5 channel amplifier.

The factory amp is nothing to brag about, but as far as i'm aware, there is not another viable option for stock speaker amplification.

 

And even if you found a compatible amplifier, the factory speakers cannot take more power than they already receive from the factory amp.

The ONLY part you can replace independently in the RF system is the radio. Factory speakers and amp have to stay or go as a unit.

 

I hate to bump a completely old thread, but im about to do the same thing and wondering if anyone knows anything knew? Part number 8701A560, Just wondering what I would need to hook up to 2010 RF Lancer. Wondering if I would need the navigation install kit even though its a non navi thing, or would my stock stuff all fit?

 

How about in a $20,000 econobox, which is what the OP has?

 

I would also like to know if this works. I want to get one of the newer touch screen radios and put it in my 10' GSR
