47. Ralli Art AT Pedals
As functional as the stock pedals were, the black was a little boring and I wanted to spice it up a bit. The Ralli Art pedals still have a slight amount of grip which is nice for our snow and rainy conditions up North.
Slightly out of focus shot of the stockers and all the dirt that has built up over one Winter.
There is a rubber cover on the brake pedal. The accelerator is one piece made out of plastic. I was surprised and never noticed this until now. At least it never seemed to slip on me.
And there she is, nice and easy!

With winter quickly approaching, my initial priority is to have the RVR well prepared for the first snowfall.
I've always heard good things about WeatherTech and their DigitalFit mats. OEM's seem to lack a high enough ledge to keep all the slush and water contained from my previous experiences.
PROS:
-The DigitalFit mats are very lightweight and easy to handle
-The DigitalFit mats have a nice and tall side ledge all around, which should prove more than sufficient to hold its contents
CONS:
-Fitment is 99% for the most part.
-The driver mat could have a higher guard towards the firewall to cover the footrest. The way it is now only covers half of the factory footrest. I'm pretty sure there will be some seepage behind the mat when ice and snow melts.
-The passenger mat slides forward and back by about 1-2" if pushed against while getting out of the vehicle.

I took as many pictures as possible during the whole process of installing the Pioneer headunit and backup camera that I'll need to break down the procedure into multiple posts. To start, lets cover the removal of the stock headunit.
For safety, disconnect the negative terminal to the battery. This is a 12mm socket.
To remove the radio dash cover, start prying on the bottom near the HVAC controls and work your way up around the sides to the top.

All you have to do is to pull the lower part using two hands.Put your thumbs and all your fingers in left and right edges, then pull it together. No scratches or marks at all
The Metra dash kit I used is for all models of the Outlander Sport/ASX/RVR. Part number 99-70148.
Re-use the silver trims we removed earlier. Metra supplies 4 new Phillips screws for the trim. Save the old hardware and label because it'll be hard to remember a couple years down the road if you ever want to revert back to stock.

These lights are perfect. The smoke is darker than what I prefer but I've gotten use to it in a second. Originally I almost opted for red as the smoked version was on back order, but I am glad I waited. Illumination is perfect at night time. Compared to stock, I much prefer these without the amber turn signals. It creates a much cleaner look during the day, and the same for at night when the full strip of running lights are on. It updates the look of the back compared to the OEM lights. The LED strip is what automakers are releasing on most models now so it's nice to get with the times.
The only concern I have is how long these will last. The turn signal and brake light are all LED which cannot be replaced. The reverse lamp is the same as original which is nice if you have already upgraded the bulb for brighter output. Only time will tell how well these can hold up. For now, I am blown away by the appearance, performance, quality, and ease of installation. Pricing was more than I had hoped but there is always a price to pay for being first to try.

You should also consider about the brightness of turn signal and reverse light. Turn signal light is almost unseen in clear day light from behind and the reverse light is smaller than stock due to the design.
But if you like it, don't bother about my comment. The choice is yours.

The glove box works perfect for me though and offers quick and easy access. Although if you manage to retro fit the USB to the armrest would be neat as well!
I don't believe we have Pandora in Canada? I never really studied it or know what it is.

It's funny that I thought the best way to remove dash cover was just like that until I found out the simplest one.

Where did you buy it from and how much was the price? The part number isn't usual like any other mitsu part number.

The kit is from Metra and the PN is a Metra PN, not Mitsu. The Mitsu opening is much larger than for a standard aftermarket double din HU. I paid around $120-150 for it which seemed expensive to me. I suppose it was partly due to the switch board for the airbag lights and whatnot.
I considered the shark fin antenna before trying the stubby, but didn't like the idea of the adhesive loosening over time, which is why I decided against it. Either way, the stock antenna reception can't be beat!

This tail light is really tempting. But the price is too cheap compare to OEM stock. I doubt about the quality.

No, I never bothered. I routed it to the glove box instead as my armrest is packed pretty full and the last thing I need is more wires in there.

I got iPhone5 and what kills me is the price of the cable interface to make it compatible. Pioneer posted a update already but you need that cable to go with that process.

The second pins from the left on both the top and bottom were empty when I received the harness. These are for the steering wheel controls which I ended up sourcing my own pins to install with the Axxess integration.
This diagram shows the harness on the vehicle side. The two pins for the steering wheel control are 22 and 32.
A poor attempt to capture which two wires I am talking about. The blue wire for pin 22 goes to the ASWC-1 and the black wire for pin 32 goes to chassis ground.

My harness did not include pins for 9 and 19 so I had to make my own pins.
I looked at your other thread and cannot quite tell if you are missing pins 9 and 19 or not, but it appears you are at least missing one wire to ground for the steering wheel control.

Hey, I finally managed the steering wheel working but the phone button is not 100% working. The Answer button is not working, only the Drop button. I reset the ASWC-1 twice but same result. How did you make it work?

It was plug and play for me on the first attempt so I'm not sure if it's just due to the different head unit. Perhaps give tech support another call.
