Features & Benefits

Dash 1 Configuration Engineering: Purpose-built for Pajero Dash 1 dashboard layouts, ensuring precise fitment without gaps or misalignment. The 2006-2014 Pajero was produced with multiple dashboard configurations across its long production run—this kit specifically matches Dash 1 architecture, avoiding the fitment issues and trim damage that occur when using incorrect fascia variants across different factory dashboard designs.

Steering Wheel Control Retention: Maintains factory steering wheel button functionality for volume, track navigation, and source selection. This preserves the driver-focused ergonomics critical in 4WD applications where attention must remain on terrain navigation—particularly valuable during remote touring, corrugated roads, or challenging off-road sections where hands-free audio control enhances safety.

Plug-and-Play 4WD Installation: Direct connection to factory wiring eliminates the need for cutting, splicing, or complex electrical modifications. This simplifies installation in workshop environments and reduces the risk of electrical issues in demanding touring applications where vehicle reliability is non-negotiable—particularly important for Pajeros used in remote areas where electrical faults can strand expeditions.

OEM-Style Dashboard Integration: Precision-molded fascia matches Pajero's functional interior design, maintaining the utilitarian aesthetics that define this platform. The trapezoid 9" format integrates cleanly with the NS/NT/NW dashboard architecture without the aftermarket "add-on" appearance, preserving the cabin's purpose-built character valued by serious 4WD enthusiasts and fleet operators.

Multi-Brand Head Unit Compatibility: Verified compatibility with Alpine AW409S/AX809, Kenwood DMX80AXS, Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT, and Nakamichi Android systems provides flexibility when selecting modern features like wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, or navigation systems critical for remote touring. This compatibility range reduces installation risk when upgrading from aging factory audio systems common in older Pajero models.

Long-Generation Platform Coverage: Engineered to accommodate the 2006-2014 production span, covering the NS, NT, and NW chassis codes within the Dash 1 configuration. This broad compatibility simplifies parts inventory for workshops servicing multiple Pajero model years while maintaining precise fitment across the generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have Dash 1 configuration?
Check your dashboard photos against our product images or contact us for verification. The 2006-2014 Pajero had multiple dashboard variants across its production run—using incorrect fascia kits causes fitment gaps and trim damage.

Does this include an antenna adapter?
No, this kit includes only the fascia panel and SWC harness. If you need to retain factory AM/FM antenna functionality, a separate antenna adapter must be purchased—essential for remote touring where AM radio reception is critical for emergency broadcasts.

Will my factory reverse camera still work?
Camera retention depends entirely on your chosen aftermarket head unit's input capabilities. This kit does not include camera retention adapters—verify your head unit has composite or AV input if maintaining factory camera functionality is required.

Does this fit 2015+ Pajero models?
No, this kit is engineered specifically for the NS/NT/NW series (2006-2014). Later Pajero models require different fascia kits due to dashboard redesigns. Always verify your vehicle's model year and chassis code before ordering.

Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?
The plug-and-play design suits confident DIY installers with basic hand tools. However, Pajero dashboard removal requires understanding of trim clip locations and proper removal techniques to avoid damage—professional installation recommended if unfamiliar with Mitsubishi interior work or if additional accessories like antenna adapters require integration.
