Important Notes:

Other trim levels or dash configurations (Dash 2, 3, 4, 5) require different harness models. Verify your Triton's trim level and dash configuration before purchase.
Dash Kit Required: This harness does NOT include dashboard mounting kit. You must purchase appropriate dash kit separately matching your specific vehicle model, year, and manufacturer (Holden, Isuzu, or Mitsubishi) for physical head unit mounting.
Basic Wiring Harness: This is a basic power and speaker connection harness without advanced features like steering wheel control retention, camera retention, USB retention, or other factory accessory integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why doesn't this harness support steering wheel controls?
A: The HISU8 is designed for pre-2014 Holden, Isuzu, and Mitsubishi models that either don't have factory steering wheel controls or use basic wiring configurations where steering wheel control integration is not included. This makes it a cost-effective solution for vehicles without factory steering wheel controls. If your vehicle has factory steering wheel controls and you want to retain them, you need a different CAC harness model with SWC retention capability. Contact us with your vehicle details to identify the correct harness with steering wheel control support.
Q: Will this harness work with my 2015 Isuzu D-Max?
A: No, the HISU8 is specifically designed for pre-2014 models. Your 2015 Isuzu D-Max uses different wiring configuration and requires a different harness model. For 2012-2020 D-Max models, you need the HISU3K harness which supports later model years and includes steering wheel control retention. Always verify your exact vehicle year and model to select the correct harness for proper compatibility.
Q: Do I need an antenna adapter with this harness?
A: The HISU8 harness does NOT include an antenna adapter. You may need to purchase a separate antenna adapter depending on your vehicle and aftermarket head unit combination. Most Japanese vehicles (Holden/Isuzu/Mitsubishi) use standard Japanese antenna connectors, and many aftermarket head units include adapters. Check your vehicle's antenna connector type and your chosen head unit's included accessories. If an adapter is needed, it's typically available separately for $10-20.
Q: What aftermarket head units are compatible with this harness?
A: Compatible with most aftermarket single-DIN and double-DIN head units from Alpine, JVC, Kenwood, Nakamichi, Pioneer, Sony, and other brands using standard ISO wiring configurations. Modern head units with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, touchscreen, and navigation typically use standard wiring and will connect to this harness. Verify head unit has standard wiring harness connection (most modern units do). You'll also need appropriate dash kit matching your specific vehicle model and year for physical mounting.
Q: Can I install this myself or should I hire a professional?
A: The harness is plug-and-play designed for simplified installation. Complete installation requires: vehicle dashboard removal (complexity varies by model—Holden Colorado, Rodeo, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Colt, and Triton each have different procedures), disconnecting factory head unit, connecting HISU8 harness to factory wiring and aftermarket head unit, mounting new unit in vehicle-specific dash kit, connecting antenna (with adapter if required), and testing audio operation. If you have car audio installation experience and proper tools (trim removal tools, panel tools), DIY installation is feasible—allow 2-3 hours depending on model. If unfamiliar with vehicle dashboard disassembly, professional installation recommended (typically $150-250) to ensure proper connections and avoid damage to dashboard trim or factory wiring.
