CAC F9MT28K2 – 9" Triton MQ Fascia Kit (Dash 1 Auto + 360° Camera)

Premium retention with full 360° camera system for late-model MQ Tritons.

Product Overview

The Car Audio Connect F9MT28K2 fascia kit is engineered specifically for 2019-2023 Mitsubishi Triton MQ models equipped with Dash 1 configuration, automatic air conditioning controls, and factory 360-degree camera system. This advanced installation solution delivers seamless integration between your factory dash and modern 9-inch trapezoid headunits while preserving all premium safety and convenience features including steering wheel controls, the complete 360° multi-camera view system, standard reverse camera, and USB connectivity that premium-spec late-model automatic climate control equipped MQ Tritons were fitted with in top-tier trim levels.

Designed for plug-and-play installation with comprehensive feature retention, this kit is purpose-engineered for the Dash 1 layout found in 2019-2023 premium automatic A/C specifications with factory 360° camera arrays. The included comprehensive retention package maintains thumb-operated steering wheel controls during highway cruising, the complete 360° camera system for low-speed maneuvering and off-road obstacle navigation, standard reverse camera functionality, and USB connectivity without additional aftermarket cables. The dual camera retention system independently maintains both standard reverse camera and the complete 360° surround-view system, allowing compatible aftermarket headunits to switch between views or display the full top-down composite exactly as the factory headunit did. All integration harnesses connect directly to your late-model premium MQ Triton's factory wiring without cutting or splicing circuits, maintaining electrical integrity and advanced safety features. Compatible with premium brands including Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, and Nakamichi, this fascia brings Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and modern navigation to your premium-specification MQ Triton while maintaining the sophisticated camera systems that define high-end models.

Features & Benefits

Complete 360° Camera System Retention – The specialized dual camera retention adapter maintains full functionality of your premium MQ Triton's factory 360-degree multi-camera system, preserving the top-down composite view essential for tight parking, navigating rocky terrain during off-road touring, threading through narrow worksite access, or positioning your vehicle during boat ramp maneuvers where comprehensive visibility of all four corners is critical for preventing damage.

Dual Camera Input Support – Independently retains both standard reverse camera and the complete 360° camera array, allowing compatible aftermarket headunits to switch between views or display the full surround-view system. Premium headunits with dual camera inputs can maintain both the traditional reverse camera view and the sophisticated 360° top-down perspective that premium MQ owners rely on.

Premium Trim Level Specific – Purpose-engineered for top-specification 2019-2023 MQ Tritons equipped with the advanced 360° camera option, typically found in Exceed, GLS Premium, or similarly equipped high-end trim levels. This kit preserves the premium safety technology that distinguishes these models from standard specifications.

Late-Model MQ Specific Engineering – Designed for 2019-2023 production years, accounting for mid-cycle electrical architecture updates and revised wiring protocols that differ from earlier 2016-2018 models. This ensures proper communication with late-model vehicle systems and reliable feature retention across the updated platform's advanced camera systems.

Preserves Factory Steering Wheel Controls – The integrated SWC harness maintains full functionality of your late-model MQ Triton's steering wheel buttons, keeping volume, track skip, voice command, and phone controls exactly where your hands expect them during highway touring, worksite communication, or hands-free operation while managing advanced vehicle technology systems.

Factory USB Port Integration – The supplied USB retention adapter preserves your existing USB charging and data connection located in the lower dash console. This maintains factory mounting locations and eliminates the need for loose aftermarket cables cluttering the interior of these premium-specification work utes and lifestyle vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with all 2019-2023 Triton models?

No, this kit requires Dash 1 configuration with factory 360° camera system. Not all 2019-2023 MQ Tritons have 360° cameras—this premium feature is typically found only in top-tier trim levels. For models without 360° cameras, use the F9MT28K1 kit instead.

Will both reverse camera and 360° view work simultaneously?

Your aftermarket headunit must support dual camera inputs to access both views. Most modern premium 9-inch headunits offer front/rear or multi-camera switching, allowing you to toggle between standard reverse and 360° view as needed during different maneuvering situations.

Can I use this if I don't have the 360° camera system?

If your 2019-2023 MQ Triton has Dash 1 and automatic A/C but lacks 360° cameras, use the F9MT28K1 kit instead. The standard reverse camera retention will still function, but you'd be paying for unused 360° camera components.

Will this fit earlier 2016-2018 MQ models?

No, this kit is specifically designed for 2019-2023 late-model MQ Tritons only. Earlier 2016-2018 models have different electrical architectures and require different fascia kits even with similar dash configurations and 360° camera systems.

How do I know if my Triton has 360° cameras?

Check if your factory headunit displays a top-down composite "bird's eye" view when engaged. 360° camera systems typically include multiple camera feeds (front, rear, sides) that create this overhead perspective. This premium feature is usually found in Exceed or GLS Premium trim levels.
