Mitsubishi Outlander & PHEV (2012-2021) Android 15 Car Stereo Head Unit

Exceptional customer support

Package arrived in 2 days, beautifully boxed. I had a slight issue interpreting the CANbus plug for the Rockford Fosgate amp. Messaged SyncSonic support on WhatsApp, and they sent me a clear photo diagram instantly.

Pure digital audio output

I built a custom sound system for my Outlander. I used the optical TOSLINK output straight into a DSP amp in the boot. The audio signal is completely pure digital. Absolutely zero alternator whine.

USB ports routed nicely

The provided dual USB cables were long enough to route straight down into the lower storage cubby where the original factory USB ports are. Keeps my flash drives completely hidden.

Android 15 is exceptionally stable

Running live OBD2 PHEV battery telemetry via Bluetooth, streaming HD music, and running Waze simultaneously on the A18 PRO model. The system hasn't crashed or hung up a single time.

Solid mounting hardware

The new fascia clips securely into the original factory mounting holes. The screen is rock solid and doesn't vibrate or shake at all over rough UK country roads or when towing.

Highly responsive touchscreen

The capacitive glass feels premium, just like an iPad. Swiping through the app drawer and pinching to zoom on satellite maps is incredibly fluid without any frustrating ghosting or delay.

Massive 128GB local storage

Downloaded massive offline map areas for a European caravan trip, plus gigabytes of downloaded Netflix shows for the kids when parked. The eMMC storage is very fast and I still have tons of space left over.

Flawless GPS lock

The magnetic GPS receiver works flawlessly. I mounted it right underneath the plastic top dash cover near the center vents. It locks onto 15+ satellites instantly with zero dropouts.

The X73 PRO 360 camera is brilliant for the GX3

My GX3 model didn't come with the factory 360 cameras. Fitted the aftermarket 360-degree cameras with the X73 tier. The top-down view makes parallel parking and reversing out of my tight driveway absolutely effortless.

A6 PRO base model is incredible value

I didn't need 4G or crazy RAM for my 2.2 DI-D workhorse, just wanted Wireless CarPlay. The A6 PRO quad-core handles it perfectly. Very cost-effective way to get modern navigation.

Wireless Android Auto is flawless

I jump in, and my Samsung links up wirelessly in about 5 seconds. No messing around with cables tangling around the gear selector. Rock solid connection that hasn't dropped once on my daily commute.

Split screen is perfect on a large display

The widescreen aspect ratio is practically made for split-screen. I have Google Maps running on the driver's side of the screen, and my kids' Spotify playlist on the passenger side. Incredibly functional layout.

Bluetooth calls are crystal clear

When the petrol engine kicks in on the PHEV it can be loud. Mounted the supplied clip-on microphone up by the sun visor. Callers say they can hear me perfectly at 70mph on the M62; the echo cancellation on the Bluetooth 5.0 chip is stellar.

Installation is very straightforward

Taking the Outlander dashboard apart is actually very easy, you just pop off the surrounding piano black trim piece with a plastic pry tool and undo four screws. The actual stereo wiring is strictly plug-and-play. Very rewarding DIY.

4G LTE slot is highly convenient

Bought the A18 PRO and popped a cheap data SIM card into the slot located in the glovebox harness. The car now has its own permanent internet connection. Never have to hotspot my phone again.

Zero lag with 8GB RAM (X73 PRO)

I went for the highest spec version. Bouncing between Waze, Apple CarPlay, and split-screen Android apps is buttery smooth. The Octa-Core processor handles heavy GPS rendering without breaking a sweat.

Audio quality improved dramatically

The base factory speakers (without Rockford) are just okay. The built-in 32-band DSP chip completely opened up the soundstage. I tuned the bass and mid-range, and it sounds 100x better without even changing the door speakers.

Fantastic anti-glare IPS panel

The Outlander has a high seating position and lots of glass that lets in glare. The anti-reflective coating on this screen is excellent, keeping Google Maps completely visible and readable even on bright summer days.

Instant boot is brilliant

I press the EV start button and by the time I put the car in drive, the screen is awake and Wireless CarPlay is connected. No annoying 30-second Android loading screens every time I get in the car for the school run.

A massive upgrade for EV charging trips

I use the PHEV for daily commuting. Popping a 4G SIM card into the A18 PRO unit means I have Zap-Map and Waze running natively on the screen. It is an absolute game changer for finding chargers and avoiding traffic.

Steering wheel buttons retained instantly

Plugged the main block in, went into the CANbus settings, and my volume, track skipping, and phone answer buttons worked instantly. The Mitsubishi steering wheel controls integrate perfectly without any splicing.

Great unit, retained factory 360 camera

My GX4h came with the factory 360-degree cameras. With the right wiring adapter provided by SyncSonic, pressing the camera button on my steering wheel still brings up the bird's-eye view on this new, much larger screen. Looks fantastic.

Rockford Fosgate subwoofer still kicks!

My biggest worry was losing the factory Rockford Fosgate sound system. I made sure to get the specific CANbus box for it, and it turned the amp on perfectly. The sound quality is actually better now thanks to the 32-band DSP inside this unit.

Finally got rid of the awful MMCS!

The original Mitsubishi MMCS sat-nav in my 2015 PHEV was horribly slow and impossible to update. This 9-inch screen cleans up the dashboard beautifully. The piano black fascia matches the factory trim perfectly. Highly recommend this for any Outlander owner.
