CAC F9MT22K4 9 Inch Fascia Kit Compatible with Mitsubishi Pajero 2012-2019 Dash 3

Complete 9" head unit upgrade for Mitsubishi Pajero NW series (2012-2019) Dash 3 configuration with factory camera retention, USB connectivity, and steering wheel controls.

Product Overview

The Car Audio Connect F9MT22K4 fascia kit delivers comprehensive 9-inch aftermarket head unit integration specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Pajero NW series vehicles spanning 2012 through 2019 model years equipped with the Dash 3 dashboard configuration. This premium installation package includes a precision-molded fascia panel matching Pajero's utilitarian 4WD interior, an integrated steering wheel control interface harness, a factory reverse camera retention adapter maintaining OEM safety systems, and a USB retention adapter preserving original USB port functionality. Designed for plug-and-play installation, the kit connects directly to factory wiring without requiring additional modifications—ideal for expedition vehicles, family tourers, or commercial 4WDs where comprehensive feature retention and reliable integration are non-negotiable. Compatible with Alpine AW409S/AX809, Kenwood DMX80AXS, Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT, Nakamichi Android systems, and other universal trapezoid 9" aftermarket head units. This kit represents the feature-complete solution for Dash 3 equipped Pajeros, specifically engineered for the later NW series production with modern factory equipment standards. Critical: This is for Dash 3 configuration only—2012-2019 models with Dash 1 or Dash 2 configurations require the F9MT22K2 kit instead.

Features & Benefits

Dash 3 Configuration Engineering: Purpose-built exclusively for Pajero Dash 3 dashboard layouts found in select 2012-2019 NW series models. This specific engineering ensures precise fitment without gaps or misalignment—critical because the NW series was produced with multiple dashboard variants (Dash 1, 2, and 3) requiring different fascia solutions. Dash verification is essential before ordering to prevent installation complications and trim damage.

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.

Factory USB Port Retention: The USB retention adapter maintains your Pajero's original USB port functionality for charging and data connections. This preserves factory charging ports critical for expedition vehicles where multiple devices require power—essential for maintaining phone navigation, UHF radio integration, and auxiliary equipment connectivity during extended remote touring where reliable charging infrastructure is non-negotiable.

Complete 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.

Extended NW Series Coverage: Purpose-built for the 2012-2019 NW production span, covering the later generation Pajero models equipped with modern factory features like reverse cameras and USB connectivity. This kit specifically addresses the Dash 3 configuration found in select NW models, providing the same comprehensive feature retention as the Dash 1/2 kit (F9MT22K2) but with dashboard-specific engineering.

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.

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 advanced navigation systems. This compatibility range reduces installation risk when upgrading from factory audio systems, ensuring premium head unit investments integrate seamlessly with retained factory features.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have Dash 3 configuration?
Check your dashboard photos against our product images or contact us for verification. The 2012-2019 Pajero NW series had multiple dashboard configurations—Dash 1/2 requires F9MT22K2 kit, while Dash 3 requires this F9MT22K4 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 an antenna adapter?
No, this kit includes fascia panel, SWC harness, camera retention adapter, and USB adapter only. 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 and weather information.

How does this differ from the F9MT22K2 kit?
Both kits offer the same premium features (SWC + Camera + USB retention) for 2012-2019 Pajero models. The difference is dashboard configuration: F9MT22K2 fits Dash 1 and Dash 2 layouts, while this F9MT22K4 fits Dash 3 layout only. Choose based on your specific dashboard configuration—contact us if unsure.

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 the camera/USB integration requires proper signal routing—professional installation recommended if unfamiliar with Mitsubishi interior work or if your vehicle has additional factory systems requiring integration.
