Overview of the standard audio system: what is on the Mitsubishi Lancer 9?
The standard audio system is developed on the basis of the Android 4.0 operating system, and also has a built-in monitor that displays data in HD quality at a resolution of 800600, so that you can install a lot of programs and applications on the GU that extend the functionality of the car.

The electronic stuffing of the GU is a 4-core processor with a computing power of 1.2 GHz, as well as 1 GB of RAM, thanks to which the radio tape recorder produces clear sound without interference and delays when modulating any audio formats. The radio tape recorder does not hang from downloading large files, and the quick start function minimizes the waiting time. a couple of seconds after turning on the audio system, all the speakers in the car start playing.
Of the sound equipment, a 10-band equalizer with the ability to cut audio frequencies and calibrate a preamp should be distinguished, as well as a standard HI-FI amplifier based on a TDA 7850 chip, which allows you to separately adjust the tone and bass of the audio with three-band regulators.
The stock GU Lancer 9 has 3 line outputs and a separate jack for connecting a subwoofer. a full set of speakers can be connected to the radio tape recorder: up to 4 tweeters, up to 4 mid-range, a pair of midbass and a subwoofer. The standard amplifier will deliver enough power for a pleasant sound, and the power supply system will work without overloading. Additionally, the audio system is equipped with a luxury radio module based on the TEF6686 chip, which produces high-quality sound even in the presence of frequency interference.
From the additional functionality of the stock Mitsubishi Lancer 9, the navigation system according to the GPS and Glonass satellites stands out, as well as the built-in radar detector, which, if properly configured, displays information about the motion sensors installed on the road. The mainboard of the GU implies the installation of a parking assist system or a rear-view camera with information output to a standard monitor.
The interface of the native audio system consists of a pair of USB pins, a channel for AUX, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth models. Operation is via a multi-touch touchscreen display or hot buttons located on the steering wheel.

With the help of frames, you can turn the central panel from the GU, placing the audio system at the bottom of the stove or climate control unit, which will improve Lancer’s design solution.
Note! It is necessary to choose frames strictly according to the VIN number of the vehicle or by checking the part numbers of components for compatibility on the official website of the manufacturer. otherwise there is an opportunity to purchase a part that does not provide proper fixation of the GU. Insufficient fastening will vibrate the audio system, significantly reducing the operating life of the device.
Connecting a rear view camera to GU Lancer 9
Particular attention must be paid to the installation of the rear view camera. To mount the device, you will need the same set of tools and about an hour of time. The camera is installed as follows:
- On the left threshold of the car, where the wiring runs connecting the electrics of the rear bumper and the trunk, we lay a video cable;
- Then we power the camera to the F-28 connector: minus. to the ground wire, plus. to the power supply of the car’s rear light;
- Next, we dismantle the rear bumper and bring the wiring to the license plate, where we connect it to the camera, previously installed on the license plate fixing bolts;
- We turn on the ignition and calibrate the device by bending the license plate until you get comfortable viewing nodes.
The joints of the camera connectors and the wiring are not sealed, so it is advisable to fill the plug with wet rubber or wrap it with electrical tape. Also, if necessary, you can power the plus of the electrical circuit from the Lancer 9 itself.

Connecting a reversing camera to a Pioneer radio
Our camera works, you can check this by going to the main menu and select the camera icon, but it will not turn on automatically. This can be corrected by connecting the purple wire to the taillight (where the camera is). As a result, when the reverse gear is turned on, the lamp lights up, the camera is powered, and the radio tape recorder understands that it is necessary to switch to reverse gear.
The whole connection diagram of a rear-view camera is quite simple, and therefore most drivers often cope with its installation on their own. In cars equipped with automatic transmission, accidental activation of the rear view camera may occur.
To eliminate this trouble, you need to install an additional sensor for the delay in turning on the camera. In each car model, the installation of the camera may be different, but in the details, the principles of connection are similar. The connection process is more complicated for video cameras that transmit a signal via radio communication, but they have the advantage that several such cameras can be connected. There are more and more cars on the streets of the city, so a rear view camera is already a necessity. It will not only help you park correctly, but will also preserve evidence of your innocence in the event of a collision.
Often, a reversing camera is installed after purchasing a new radio tape recorder, for this case we have an article “how to connect a radio tape recorder” in it you will learn about adapters, adapter frames and much more.
How to choose a camera
The modern electronics market, and especially China, is overflowing with a variety of cameras, and this makes the choice of the right thing more complicated. In order to make your job easier, decide on your priorities, which worries you more. price or quality. Not everyone needs high definition cameras, or cameras that can show even in low light. For some drivers, an inexpensive rear-view camera for a radio tape recorder is enough.
- In what resolution the camera writes, the higher the video resolution, the better the recording quality. And high definition of the image is not always needed.
- The next point is the sensitivity of the camera to lighting. In cheaper models, recording quality in low light can be very poor. Therefore, if, due to circumstances, you often use the car at night, then you should pay attention to this moment.
- If you have already decided where to put the rear view camera before buying, then you need to pay attention to the installation method of this particular model.

I connected the camera to the monitor. It works. But the task is to connect it to a 2x din radio tape recorder Cyclon-mp 7070 gps, as I borrowed the monitor for testing. I found the iso diagram. I tried to connect the input to the display to the iso connector / brown cable / and where to connect the red from reversing light. so that when the reverse gear is turned on, the monitor of the tape recorder is activated?
I went to the Hundred to see an electrician, but they don’t have time, or they don’t want to finish their work. I’ll have to do it myself, using the plug-in method. But I don’t want to burn the radio tape recorder, and there is no place to put the monitor. I tried a mirror-monitor-picture is small, the sun is not visible, at night So-so. In general, the task is not yet feasible. Maybe someone will tell me, I will be very grateful. It is connected through partronic. Still, it shows everything on the monitor, and the electricians look at all this and do not want to get down to work. partronic-has a video output to the monitor.
Guys, and in all these mafons on Android, as I understand it, the rear camera is turned on by a trigger (12V wiring) when 12V appears on which the camera mode is turned on. Is it possible to turn on the camera manually? Let’s say if I recorded a camera from ACC, and the trigger from reverse, then the camera is turned on permanently, but the picture on the radio tape recorder will be only when reverse is turned on. Is it possible somehow on these Android mafons to forcibly display the shortcut and turn on the camera? Suitable for monitoring a trailer?
And the second question, is it possible to use VIDEO input in mafon with video recorder applications on Android? Those. download the application to the mafon, select the camera and go or the applications will not see the camera?
Help with the choice. I bought just such a BONROAD radio tape recorder and also such a thing for review when reversing. And the Chinese tell you what PAL or NTSC standard? And the devil will take it apart. The sold radio is silent as a fish. What shall we say? By the way, here is the back of the radio The seller of the camera asks if there is an RCA connector there.

The procedure and diagram for connecting a rear view camera
And now in more detail about how to install and connect the rear view camera to the Pioneer radio. Why this model, because it is the most common. If we take into account the insecurity of our video camera, and the best view, then its place should still be above the number, outside.
It should be installed closer to the edge to improve visibility, but not so that it stands out. The installation of the camera itself does not represent anything complicated. The camera has a bracket required for installation, you only need to drill a couple of holes for the mounting bolts, and one hole for the cable.
And then the rear-view camera is included in the general electrical network of the car. If you are not strong in electrics, then it is better to turn to car service specialists, but if you have at least basic knowledge, then you can quite figure it out on your own. So, the order of connection in stages:
- Any camera has two wires, one for transmitting the video signal from the camera to the monitor, and the other for power. Since the camera itself has short wires, you will need to build them up so that they are enough from the front panel to the end of the trunk (as a rule, an extension cable for the video signal is included in the kit).
- Where can I get power for the camcorder? Usually the camera is connected to the rear lights. Therefore, immediately after turning on the reverse, the rear view camera is also turned on.
- All wires that are pulled through the cabin and in the trunk must be secured and hidden. This will help to avoid unexpected network interruptions while driving.
- If you use a monitor instead of a radio, you will need to find a power source for it. If you have a Pioneer multimedia recorder, this issue is automatically resolved for you.
Installing a rear view camera using a mirror
Installation of a rear view camera requires the installation of two main elements: the camera itself and a display that will display video information for the driver. The stock camera assumes the placement of an additional display. Many car owners are not satisfied with this option. The way out of the situation is a rear-view mirror with a built-in display.
It is fastened to the place of the regular.
The mirror has two video feed channels. The camera is connected one by one.
Recommended camera placement on Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is the center plastic jumper above the number.

Lancer 10 Rear View Camera Installation Tips
When parking or reversing, there is a need to see the distance to an obstacle that could damage the vehicle. A rear-view camera can provide a sense of size. It can be located above the license plate, in the rear bumper, on the trunk lid and in other places, depending on the owner’s imagination.
Each of the options has both advantages and disadvantages. In one case, the car owner gets a good aesthetic appearance, in the other, ease of installation, in the third, a good viewing angle. The camera display can be integrated into the rearview mirror or installed separately. There is also the option of connecting the camera to a radio tape recorder with a display and a corresponding connector.
Installation for rear bumper
A rear camera mounted above the license plate prevents the bumper from being visible on the display. This makes it difficult to feel the size of the car. At small distances to obstacles, it becomes impossible to navigate without the presence of a rear bumper in the frame. The driver will constantly feel that the car has driven too close. The solution to this problem is to install the camera on the trunk lid.
The chamber inside is filled with sealant, which allows you not to fear for the impact of precipitation on it.
The sequence of actions for mounting the camera on the trunk lid is as follows:
- Stick the scotch tape.
- Mark it like in the picture below.
- Drill a hole with a 9 bit. It should be noted that the metal is very soft and jams are possible.
- Withdraw the wiring using a corrugated hose.
The result of this method of installing the camera is shown in the figure below. It is recommended to choose the color of the camera in accordance with the paintwork of the car.
As seen in the picture below, the camera mounted on the trunk lid allows for safer and more precise maneuvering in reverse.
What to choose for replacement
Since the original product has a high cost and is rarely found on sale, the owners of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 install Chinese cameras compatible with the used radio tape recorder.
Products are installed instead of the license plate illumination lamp.
The kit includes a patch cord with tulips and a cable harness for connecting to the electrical wiring of the machine.
DIY installation of a rear view camera on a Mitsubishi Lancer 10
The original rear view camera on the Lancer 10 was used on some modifications equipped with a radio tape recorder with an increased display size. On other models, the camera was not used, an ultrasonic parking sensor was installed to assist when maneuvering in reverse. Owners of cars with a replaced head acoustic unit can independently mount the camera on the back of the car body.
Functionality of the original camera
An original Mitsubishi product (part number MZ380462EX) is connected to the standard wiring inside the car body from the radio to the trunk lid. The product was installed only on vehicles supplied to the domestic market in Japan (under the designation Galant Fortis). The difference between the unit is the 6 V supply voltage, which is supplied from a transformer mounted inside the original head unit.
The cable harness for machines not equipped with a camera differs in configuration and number of conductors. The product is mounted on the trunk lid; to protect the lens from precipitation, a plastic visor, painted in the body color, is used. The display of the head multimedia device shows an image with the designation of the expected trajectory when maneuvering. The standard product provides an increased viewing angle, transmitting a panoramic image to the radio screen, but the corners of the bumper are not visually controlled.
Installation and connection
Algorithm for installing a camera instead of a room backlight:
- Remove the plastic strip located on the lower edge of the luggage compartment opening. Remove the license plate light.
- Pull the power cables through the square hole above the backlight. For pulling the cord, a wire is used to which the power cables are tied.
- Dismantle the protective panel on the sidewall of the luggage compartment trim and find the positive power cord for the reversing light, on which power occurs only after turning on the reverse in the gearbox.
- Connect the negative power wire to the ground bolt located near the rear light housing.
- Route the signal cable behind the plastic luggage compartment lining and through the left side sill to the dashboard.
- Connect the tulip provided on the cord to the Rear Camera connector. Some third-party head units have an additional cord that activates the image when the reverse gear is engaged. The cable, equipped with a violet-white insulator, is connected to the reverse switch. On Lancer 10 cars, a signal cable from the box (with white-silver insulation) is laid to the radio tape recorder.
- Mount the removed parts and test the operation of the rear view camera. On some of the audio head units, additional parameter setting is required. Step-by-step instructions are provided in the operating instructions.
It is allowed to save 2 license plate lamps; The camera body is housed in a specially drilled hole in the plastic bumper. To simplify the installation procedure, it is recommended to remove the bumper, which is attached to the body with bolts located near the rear lights and in the wheel arches. The connecting cables are introduced into the car interior through a rubber technological plug installed on the rear panel of the body near the left lamp.
To install a rear view camera on a Lancer X (sedan) on a metal trunk lid, you will need:
- Drill a hole in the metal to match the configuration of the camera body. The channel is made along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the vehicle; the edges are treated with a corrosion-resistant compound and then painted with enamel.
- A connector is connected to the body of the product, the cables are led out to the on-board network and the head unit. An additional transformer is used to obtain 6 V; there are non-original Chinese cameras, originally designed for a 12 V supply voltage. The power adapter is mounted with nuts and bolts on the inside of the trunk lid.
- Lay the cables by analogy with the method of mounting the rear view camera instead of the room light.
Malfunctions and their elimination
Rear view camera malfunctions include damage to internal optics or damage to signal cables. When flooding the product with water, you can try to open the case and remove the remaining moisture, but it is recommended to replace the equipment.
The joints of the body of collapsible products are covered with a layer of sealant that prevents moisture penetration. The damaged sections of the cord are cut out and replaced with a similar cable, which is connected with a crimp tube or soldering. It is recommended to protect the junction of the parts with heat-shrink tubing and insulating tape. Damaged plugs cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
