Features & Benefits

Complete Installation Solution – Everything needed for a professional head unit upgrade is included in one package, eliminating the need to source additional brackets or hardware separately. Ideal for workshop installations or capable DIY mechanics tackling weekend stereo upgrades.

Precision-Engineered Fitment – Designed specifically for Mitsubishi Triton ML and MN chassis codes, ensuring tight panel gaps and OEM-quality appearance. The kit accommodates the unique dash contours of both Triton ute and Challenger SUV variants without modification in most installations.

Dual Sizing Options – Trim ring provides flexibility for head unit dimensions. Remove the trim ring to accommodate larger 178mm units, or retain it for standard 173mm head units, ensuring compatibility with most aftermarket brands including Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, and Alpine.

Durable ABS Construction – UV-stabilised black plastic withstands Australian heat and sun exposure without fading or warping. The material resists cracking even under dashboard temperatures common to utes parked in full sun during summer work conditions.

Simple Installation Process – Side brackets align with factory mounting points for straightforward installation. Most competent installers can complete the upgrade in under 30 minutes. Minimal trim may be required for oversized screens, maintaining flexibility for modern large-format head units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit 2015 or newer Triton models?

No, the F7MT9 is engineered specifically for ML (2007-2009) and MN (2009-2014) chassis codes only. The 2015+ MQ/MR Triton requires a different fascia kit due to dashboard redesign.

Will this work with oversized 7-inch screens?

Yes, most modern 7-inch double DIN units fit using the 178mm internal aperture. Remove the trim ring for maximum clearance. Minor edge trimming may be needed for particularly large bezels.

Is professional installation required?

The kit suits competent DIY installation with basic hand tools. Professional fitting is recommended if you're also installing wiring harnesses, steering wheel controls, or reverse camera integration for complete system functionality.

Does it include the wiring harness?

No, this is a fascia kit only. You'll need a separate Mitsubishi-specific ISO harness to connect your aftermarket head unit to the factory wiring loom and retain functionality.

What's the difference between GL-R, GLX, and GLX-R compatibility?

All listed trim levels share the same dash panel design during the ML/MN generation. The fascia fits identically across GLS, GLX-R, VR, GL-R, and GLX variants within the specified year ranges.
