MITS02A1 Adapter MP3 Smartphone Auxiliary Kit - Simple AUX for Select

In this review of the MITS02A1 Adapter MP3 Smartphone Auxiliary Kit the bottom line is straightforward: this is a plug-and-play solution for Mitsubishi owners who want an easy way to add an AUX input without cutting factory wires. It connects to the stereo extension port and converts the connection into a 3.5mm input so phones, MP3 players and other audio sources work through the existing head unit. Installation is aimed at users with a CD changer capable stereo and it preserves the in-dash CD changer while disabling an external changer.

Key Features

• Direct plug-in: Plugs into the factory extension port so no splicing or complex rewiring is required during installation.
• 3.5mm connector: Includes a built-in 3.5mm cable connector for straightforward attachment of phones, MP3 players or portable audio devices.
• Vehicle specific harness: Ships with the correct harness for compatible Mitsubishi models to ensure a proper physical and electrical fit.
• Retains in-dash CD changer: The in-dash CD changer remains operational after installation so you do not lose basic CD playback functionality.
• Supports many devices: Works as an AUX input converter for MP3 players, phones, DVD players, Android devices and iPod/iPhone models with a standard headphone output.

Who It's For

The adapter is best for Mitsubishi owners who have a CD changer capable factory stereo and want a low-effort way to stream audio from modern devices. It suits drivers who prefer a clean, reversible install and do not want to modify factory wiring.

It is not for users who rely on a factory external CD changer or vehicle navigation stereos, as the unit does not support many navigation-equipped head units and will disconnect external CD changers when installed.
