Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Outlander has the Rockford Fosgate audio system?

Check for Rockford Fosgate badging on your door speakers or factory headunit. Alternatively, contact us with your VIN and trim level for confirmation. This kit will not work correctly with standard audio systems.

Will I lose audio quality when upgrading the headunit?

No, the kit is specifically engineered to maintain proper signal levels and impedance matching with the factory Rockford Fosgate amplifier. However, final audio quality depends on the headunit model you choose and its output specifications.

Does this work with both Dash 1 and Dash 2 configurations?

Yes, this kit is compatible with both Dash 1 and Dash 2 configurations when equipped with Rockford Fosgate audio. If you have Dash 3 configuration, you'll need a different fascia kit.

Can I use any 9-inch Android headunit with this kit?

Most universal trapezoid 9-inch Android headunits will physically fit and connect. However, full integration with the Rockford Fosgate amplifier and feature retention depends on the headunit's output capabilities and CANbus compatibility.

What additional parts might I need for installation?

The kit includes the fascia, SWC harness, camera adapter, and USB adapter. Depending on your chosen headunit, you may need additional accessories such as a GPS antenna adapter, specific CANbus interface module, or Rockford Fosgate amplifier integration harness for optimal performance.
