Factory HU w/ RF system

The older Cavilers were the same way. They would move the stock headunit under the seat. All that is required is a jumper. You would have to have an installer solder it in or make a harness. I'm sure its possible with the Lancer but noone has tried it. Besides, I would rather spend $150 on a new and better amp and screw the stock stuff.

 

well... i'll be getting the sun and sound when i get my GTS but not the navi (way too over price rather get my own) so i'm gonna install an aftermarket 2din HU (prob w/ nav)... and i'm not too big on audio so i'll want to keep my stock amp/speaker/sub... which is y i'd like to find a way to do it... are u saying that doing the method (as done w/ the cavilers and civics) might work for the lancers? ne one care to try? =)

 

There really is no need to try it. Who wants to hide a double din radio somewhere in the car when its not needed?

Just buy the Axxess MITO-01 and you can remove the stock radio completely and retain the factory amps.

 

but would u still retain the sub as well? cuz i want a way to keep all of the OEM RF audio (including sub/amp) with an aftermarket HU....

 

Yes the Axxess part allows you to retain the factory amp(s) and sub while using an aftermarket headunit.

 

alright thats what i wanted to know thx... i guess i'll add that to my list of things to do

 

quick question...

if the car comes with the factory RF system (non-navi) and I decide to retrofit the OEM Navi, will I need any special harnesses to make the factory sub and amp work with the HU?

 

No, for you it will be "plug and play". All the wiring is still there. I have the regular 6 speaker system and it had all the wiring.
