Dual rear USB inputs support CarPlay and Android Auto on USB 1 and media playback on USB 2, each at 5V/1.5A charging. Dual AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs accept the included surface mount camera and an additional second camera simultaneously.

The included 720P AHD surface mount camera uses a Sony 225 1/3" CMOS sensor with a 150-degree lens angle and is mountable as a front, rear, or reverse camera. It is supplied with 6 metres of RCA video cable with an in-line reverse trigger wire. Head Unit Upgrade Kits can vary between vehicle models.

Features & Benefits

Complete Vehicle-Specific Upgrade Kit for Mitsubishi Triton and Challenger 2009-2014: The AX8013K includes all components required for a complete installation across the Mitsubishi Triton and Challenger from 2009-2014 without additional accessory sourcing. The vehicle-specific installation kit covers the fascia, steering wheel control interface, reverse camera retention lead, and patch lead requirements shared across these platforms.

Reverse Camera Retention Lead Included: The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a dedicated reverse camera retention lead that connects the factory reverse camera to the new head unit's reverse camera input, allowing the factory camera to continue displaying on the 6.8" screen when reverse gear is selected. This is addressed within the kit without requiring additional camera adaptors for standard factory reverse camera setups on these models.

Black Fascia Kit for Triton and Challenger Dashboard Integration: The included black fascia kit is designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Triton and Challenger dashboard profile from 2009-2014, providing a clean, factory-fit finish around the 6.8" head unit that integrates with the interior trim of these ute and SUV models.

6.8" Capacitive Touchscreen at 1024x600: The 6.8" capacitive touchscreen delivers a large, responsive display with 1024x600 resolution for clear navigation of maps, media, and settings, well suited to the dashboard opening of the Triton and Challenger.

Wireless and Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto operate wirelessly for hands-free smartphone integration, or via wired USB connection for simultaneous charging. On first wireless connection, a one-time pairing via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is required before subsequent connections become automatic.

Bluetooth V5 with HFP 1.6 HD Voice: Bluetooth V5 supports A2DP high-quality audio streaming, AVRCP media control, PBAP phonebook access, and HFP 1.6 HD Voice quality hands-free calling. Both an internal microphone and an external microphone with mount are included, allowing the external microphone to be positioned optimally in the cabin.

13-Band Graphic EQ with Time Alignment: The 13-band EQ covers 32Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz, 12kHz, 14kHz, and 16kHz for precise acoustic tuning, complemented by time alignment and a subwoofer low-pass filter for a complete onboard tuning toolkit.

4V 6-Channel RCA Preouts: Six RCA preamp channels at 4V covering front, rear, and subwoofer outputs allow external amplifiers to be added to the system with a high-output, low-noise signal. Subwoofer level control is also provided directly from the head unit.

720P AHD Surface Mount Camera Included: The included 720P AHD surface mount camera uses a Sony 225 1/3" CMOS sensor, a 150-degree lens angle, optional parking guidelines, and an IP67 waterproof rating. It can be mounted as a front, rear, or reverse camera and connects to the head unit via the included 6-metre RCA cable with in-line reverse trigger wire.

Dual AHD 720P Camera Inputs: Two independent AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs allow the retained factory reverse camera and the included surface mount camera to be connected simultaneously, supporting configurations such as factory reverse and a front or towing camera.

6-Colour Button Illumination: The key illumination is selectable across six colours including red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, allowing the button lighting to be matched to the Triton and Challenger interior.

AM/FM Tuner with RDS: FM tuning covers 87.5-108.0MHz with 18 presets, and AM covers 522-1710kHz with 12 presets, with RDS support for station and track information display.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AX8013K retain the factory reverse camera in the Triton and Challenger?

Yes. The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a dedicated reverse camera retention lead that connects the factory reverse camera to the new head unit's reverse camera input, allowing the factory camera to continue displaying on the 6.8" screen when reverse gear is selected. This is addressed within the kit without requiring additional camera adaptors for standard factory reverse camera setups on these models.

Does the AX8013K retain the factory Mitsubishi Triton and Challenger steering wheel controls?

Yes. The vehicle-specific installation kit includes a steering wheel control interface and a universal SWC patch lead that connects to the head unit's SWC input, allowing the factory steering wheel audio controls to operate with the new head unit after installation and calibration.

Is the AX8013K compatible with both the Triton and the Challenger?

Yes. The AX8013K is confirmed compatible with both the Mitsubishi Triton and Mitsubishi Challenger from 2009-2014. Both vehicles share a compatible dashboard profile and installation requirement within this date range. Use the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide at aerpro.com to confirm compatibility for your specific vehicle and build date before purchase.

Can the included 720P AHD camera be used alongside the retained factory reverse camera?

Yes. The head unit provides two independent AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs. The factory reverse camera connects through the retention lead to one camera input, and the included 720P AHD surface mount camera can be connected to the second camera input for use as a front or towing camera. This allows dual camera functionality with both the factory reverse camera and the included surface mount camera connected simultaneously.

Can external amplifiers be connected to the AX8013K?

Yes. The head unit provides 4V 6-channel RCA preouts covering front, rear, and subwoofer channels, allowing external amplifiers to be connected for higher output power or a dedicated subwoofer channel. The 4V output voltage provides a strong, low-noise signal compatible with most aftermarket car audio amplifiers. Subwoofer level control is also available directly from the head unit for convenient bass adjustment without accessing the amplifier directly.
