Features & Benefits

Dash 2 Configuration Engineering: Purpose-built exclusively for Pajero Dash 2 dashboard layouts, ensuring precise fitment without gaps or misalignment. The 2006-2014 Pajero was produced with multiple dashboard configurations—this kit specifically matches Dash 2 architecture, avoiding the fitment issues and trim damage that occur when using incorrect fascia variants. Dash verification is critical before ordering to prevent installation complications.

Factory Reverse Camera Retention: Includes dedicated camera retention adapter that maintains your Pajero's factory reverse camera functionality when upgrading to aftermarket head units. This preserves critical safety features essential for 4WD applications—particularly valuable when reversing with loaded roof racks, towing caravans, or navigating tight bush tracks where rear visibility is compromised. The camera integration maintains OEM quality rather than requiring aftermarket camera installations that may not withstand harsh touring conditions.

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

Plug-and-Play 4WD Installation: Direct connection to factory wiring eliminates 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 paramount—particularly important for Pajeros used in remote areas where electrical faults can compromise expedition safety and require costly recovery operations.

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 Dash 2 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have Dash 2 configuration?
Check your dashboard photos against our product images or contact us for verification. The 2006-2014 Pajero had multiple dashboard variants—Dash 1 requires F9MT22K1 kit, while Dash 2 requires this F9MT22K3 kit. Using incorrect fascia kits causes fitment gaps and trim damage.

Will my factory reverse camera definitely work?
The kit includes the camera retention adapter, but your aftermarket head unit must have composite or AV input capability. Verify your chosen head unit specifications support composite video input before purchase to ensure camera functionality—critical for touring vehicles where camera reliability is essential.

Does this include USB retention or antenna adapter?
No. This kit includes fascia panel, SWC harness, and camera retention adapter only. USB retention and antenna adapters must be purchased separately if needed. For comprehensive feature retention including USB, consider the F9MT22K2 kit for 2012-2019 models with Dash 1/2 compatibility.

How does this differ from the F9MT22K1 and F9MT22K2 kits?
F9MT22K1 (2006-2014 Dash 1): Basic kit with only SWC harness. F9MT22K3 (2006-2014 Dash 2): This kit—adds camera retention. F9MT22K2 (2012-2019 Dash 1/2): Premium kit with SWC, camera, and USB retention. Choose based on your model year, dashboard configuration, and required feature retention.

Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?
The plug-and-play design suits confident DIY installers with automotive electrical experience. However, Pajero dashboard removal requires understanding of trim clip locations, and camera integration requires proper signal routing—professional installation recommended if unfamiliar with Mitsubishi interior work or if additional accessories like antenna adapters require integration.
