I don't believe that. My audio controls and awc worked, just not the bluetooth.

 

I did the math of sh*ts and giggles and mitsubishiparts.net would save me $2.25 with shipping, LOL.

I will be ordering my kit from them non the less as I trust them as a vendor

 

do we have any way to check if the module is defective or not?

 

I'm just about to get a GSR (the one positive about this economy is 0% financing), and Bluetooth is a requirement for me, so one way or another I'll be doing this. Like some others here, however, I'd like to keep the change holder and stick the AWC button next to the ASC button to the left of the steering wheel.

I've read this entire thread (it took quite a while), and it seems simple enough, but it'd be great if someone could post some photos with annotations about how they did the splicing to stick the button in that location. It's just not quite crystal clear how it'd be done.

 

I moved the button next to the asc button. I didn't take pictures, but you don't need pictures. Cut the harness that plugs into the center console AWC module, leaving 2 or 3 inches of wire on the plug end. Now you have a plug with 4 different color wires, and a harness with the same 4 colors ( you just cut) You can solder and heat shrink any 4 wires and match them to the same wires on the plug. I used 4 wire telephone cable. You can actually use crimp-type or Butts terminals if you don't want to mess with soldering and heat shrinking. Crimp type connectors are just fine, and in some cases superior to soldering. Just tape everything up to keep it neat.

 

When you did this I am assuming you also just moved the correct two wires to the correct two pins? Also did you have to take your steering wheel OFF in order to just add the Audio switch on the steering wheel, no bluetooth?

 

Sweet. A new octane blue GSR has been acquired!

Hopefully I'll get around to installing the new controls soon.

 

This was one of the first mods i did to my car months ago prob the one i use the most also

but i have a couple of questions for everyone that has done this my phone just seems to randomly unsync with the bluetooth module and every so often when i push the up volume on the steering wheel the volume will go down instead of up! anyone have this happen??


If anyone knows any thing i can try let me know thx

 

Yes, steering wheel has to be removed for just the audio controls only. But its a suprisingly simple job with the help of this thread and pictures.

 

what i want to know is for those who have done this mod, do you properly retorque the steering nut or just tighten it as much as you can.

 

Torque wrench, what's that? LOL No, I didn't retorque mine, just tightened it by hand. Stayed on so far!

 

Didn't I read its spec is 33 +/- 8 ft-lbs?

Yep:

 

Has anyone had a dealer move the audio controls to the steering wheel and move the AWC button to the center console?

If so did they have an idea already on how to do it, once you told them what you wanted? Or did you have to explain or provide them information about do it including how to change the center console wires for the AWC switch and audio controls on the steering wheel to work properly.

Thanks.

 

south coast mitsu in costa mesa knows how to but they are charging a lot of money......

 

Installed the Bluetooth module and Ipod connector, took about 4 hours. Toughest thing for me was moving the wires around. Had to study the connector and prod around a bit to figure out how to release the wires with damaging the plug. Only issue I had was forgetting to mark the steering wheel position before removing it, so when I put it back on I had to do a test drive to get it straight. Its great having the volume controls on the steering wheel. Now I just need to find the time to go to the dealer and get the Bluetooth module activated.

The photos and instructions were great, thanks again!!!
