I have 2010 GSR with Navi. I know 2011 Lancer has an option of adding a Fuse handsfree system ($499 accessory), so I was wondering if anybody knows if this is possible to install on EVO too.

 

I want to know the same thing

 

Ditto. I would love to be able to retrofit this into my '10 X with Nav/Rockford. Am still waiting for the DVD/Aux hack for video in motion for my software version. It stopped right before mine

 

man thats it 499!!!! gosh mitsubishi better have made this thing backwards compatible
hell I wonder if it will require a software upgrade cause id love to have just a usb port to hook my ipod to.

Sad Panda.

 

There is a special wiring harness for Fuse. It is a very expensive retrofit. (As told to me by the area service rep for MMNA. He estimated it at 10 hours of labor on top of the parts - wiring harness, deck, etc.)

 

I tend to not take reps words to serious as they do not understand the technical aspects if every device in a car they represent. I can totally see there being a USB harness a new fuze box harness and maybe a firmware upgrade to accept iPod display features. It's the same chassis not a complete redo. There should be some stuff able to salvage from our systems. Btw I wanna see this service bulletin that is supposed to be out cause I havnt seen it from my representatives

 

Do they imply Head Unit by audio system? I think I have '11 HU installed because I have RTT in my Nav, so i should be good...

 

Maybe the WHOLE FUSE system doesnt work, but what about just the USB?

 

From what I understand, it's not doable/very hard. Some of the Outlander guys etc have tried it w/no success that I know of. The stupid USB port is in the glovebox (retarded design) and believe you need a new head unit.

 

Thats the thing though... if I just have to install the head unit from the '11 and the FUSE module and can keep the rest I'm in. If I have to get a new amp... still considering it. If I have to add a wire or two, no big deal. If I need to completely rip out the main loom for the car, well... now we are talking difficult.

I can't imagine that they would be that stupid.... wait, who am I kidding?

 

this is we're talking about...

 

Just wondering if you found out anything?

 

i think the FUSE system is standard on all 2011. i didnt order it for my evo and it came with it. check in the glove box you might already have the USB port in there. its hidden by a flap

 

Hello everyone, I have look into this in the past. So you need a new deck, and a new Bluetooth module. plus there is a extra harness. on top of that there is the usb port. it is all possible, I am thinking of doing it myself. But I have not had the time to. The deck you can get of ebay, if you want the nav. Good luck
