Important Notes:
Factory Touch Panel Incompatibility: This harness is NOT compatible with factory touch panel systems.

If uncertain about your dash configuration, contact us with photos of your current dashboard or vehicle VIN for verification.

The harness handles wiring connections only—the dash kit provides physical mounting structure and trim pieces. Contact us to identify correct dash kit for your vehicle.
Camera-Compatible Head Unit Required: To utilize factory reverse camera retention feature, your aftermarket head unit must have camera input capability. Most modern head units with touchscreen displays include camera inputs, but verify compatibility before purchase.
Standard Audio Systems Only: This harness is designed for Eclipse Cross models with standard factory audio systems. If your vehicle has premium factory audio with separate amplifier, verify compatibility before purchase or contact us for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "not compatible with factory touch panel" mean for my Eclipse Cross?
A: Some Eclipse Cross models have factory touchscreen controls integrated into the dashboard separate from the head unit itself. If your vehicle has separate touch controls (like climate or vehicle settings touch panels), those specific controls will not function after installing an aftermarket head unit with this harness. However, if your Eclipse Cross has standard button/dial controls for climate and vehicle settings, this harness works perfectly. Most Eclipse Cross 2017-2020 models use standard controls and are fully compatible. If uncertain, contact us with photos of your dashboard.
Q: Will my factory reverse camera still work after installing an aftermarket head unit?
A: Yes, the HMT4K4 harness retains factory reverse camera functionality. However, your aftermarket head unit MUST have camera input capability to display the camera feed. Most modern touchscreen head units include camera inputs (typically RCA video input). The camera signal will automatically display when you shift into reverse, maintaining the valuable safety feature of your Eclipse Cross. Verify your chosen head unit has camera input before purchase.
Q: Does this harness include the dash kit I need for installation?
A: No, this harness does NOT include the dashboard mounting kit (fascia). You must purchase the appropriate Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dash 1 fascia kit separately. The harness handles wiring connections only—the dash kit provides physical mounting structure and trim pieces to mount the aftermarket head unit flush with your dashboard. Contact us to identify the correct Dash 1 fascia kit for your Eclipse Cross 2017-2020.
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. Your chosen head unit must have camera input capability to utilize the reverse camera retention feature. Modern head units with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, touchscreen, and navigation all work. Verify head unit has standard wiring harness and camera input (most modern units do).
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: Eclipse Cross dashboard removal (moderately complex for compact SUV), disconnecting factory head unit, connecting HMT4K4 harness to factory wiring and aftermarket head unit, mounting new unit in Dash 1 fascia kit, connecting camera input to head unit, testing steering wheel controls, USB functionality, and camera display operation. If you have car audio installation experience and proper tools (trim removal tools, panel tools), DIY installation is feasible—allow 2-4 hours. If unfamiliar with dashboard disassembly or concerned about trim damage, professional installation recommended (typically $150-300). Many installers offer installation when purchasing head unit and harness together.
