Who It's For

This head unit is for Mitsubishi Lancer owners from model years 2008 to 2017 who want a modern infotainment upgrade with GPS navigation, WiFi app support and a built-in backup camera. It suits drivers who use streaming apps, need reliable offline navigation and prefer a large 10.1 in display for clearer maps and media controls.
