2014 + Mitsubishi Mirage Stereo Replacement

quick video on how to replace the head unit in a Mitsubishi Mirage. The Mirage's blu tooth system is independent from the stereo itself, replacing the stereo will not restrict blu tooth functions

Good Video. I needed 15 minutes to change the radio with your tutorial. Greetings from Germany!

[@ride4u_live738]

Welchen Adapter hast du hergenommen? Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher, welchen von diesen Tausend Adapter ich verwenden soll und welcher passt. MfG Samuel aus Bayern ;) !

[@monacofranze4323]

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a better Radio for my Mitsubishi, now i know how to remove the old one without destroying the car. Thumbs up and abo for your Channel.

[@MrRgx521]

Thank you, this is going to be invaluable when I get my Mirage in a few days!

[@vaipuluj]

Florian Schumacher it's a great car, you might need to look into a rear sway bar though, feels a bit scary at highway speed 😉. other than that, it's been a gem

[@ronaldderooij1774]

It should not feel scary at highway speeds. Best check your wheel alignment. That is off most of the time in the Mirage, unfortunately. Also unfortunately, the rear axle cannot be adjusted, so you will need a replacement axle if it is out of spec.

[@MrRgx521]

Any way to check the wheel alignment which doesn't involve a trip to the dealer / a garage?

[@vaipuluj]

Yeah, if you drive in a strait line you should be able to take your hands off the steering wheel without it drifting off to the left or right. Another sign of poor alignment is under even tire wear. If the tires are worn out just on one side of the tire then you may have an alignment issue.(this method isn't as exact though)

[@MH-YouTube-Controlled]

Excellent video, very clear instructions. Thank you.

[@ditomathew1]

Did you install a backup camera? If so can you provide a guide.

[@victorespinoza6372]

Great video 😮👍❤️

[@willnavarez2662]

I’m looking Into getting a new stereo. The one you put on is it a 6”1 stereo??

[@rabbithole1331]

informative video, thanks gave ya a like

[@emvf89]

Is not possible to reuse the OEM radio metal brackets for the new head unit?

[@willnavarez2662]

And where did you buy the outer layer from..

[@traceypaton2663]

got the same model mirage.. the radio works fine, and connected my phone, but there is no bluetooth voice commands coming up of the radio, it can hear me, but no sound comes out from voice commands or calls ... I've heard this could be a known problem, i bought the car off my daughter and its not under warranty anymore, do you know, can i replace or repair the bluetooth system so voices can be heard do you know ?

[@j.cm.9343]

thanks for the upload. perhaps I missed it. but did the car come with steering wheel controllers for the radio ?

[@vaipuluj]

Great question! No sir, we purchased the base model with the intent of putting a new head unit in. if you have steering wheel controls that you'd like to retain, you'll have to get another conversion harness.

[@j.cm.9343]

joshua vaipulu thanks, yeah I read about it last night ( after ordering the unit ..duh) I will have to spend another 100 bucks for the adapter.

[@emvf89]

Hello @joshua vaipulu. So, Bluetooth keeps working, however we loose the ability to see the number of who is calling us, correct? Or is it possible to have Bluetooth connected to both devices (to the new head unit and to the OEM Bluetooth system) at same time? Can I assume that you are saying that even "without the head-unit" we are able to receive and make calls using the car roof microphone and car speakers? Hope you can help me with this question. Thanks in advance.

[@jesusolmeda259]

Where can I buy radio usb cable from 2014 mirage ?

[@veltrox1911]

Nice video man, may I ask what's the size of the screen you got? You have any measurements of the frame as well? I got a space star 2014 myself and I was wondering what kind of screen I can install

[@jonathantorres8865]

all doble din car stereos have the same size, 7"

[@trickmytruck32]

Did u ever get carplay or Android out work have same stereo can't get mine to work properly

[@EvilGenius0091]

ok, so I'm been looking online, virtually everywhere, & I'm having a hard time finding the correct mounting kit/ install kit. I have a 2017 & I'm assuming they're the same. what was the model number on the one in your video?

[@vaipuluj]

EvilGenius0091 I linked to the one I bought in one of the comments 👍

[@EvilGenius0091]

joshua vaipulu thanks man!

[@mrstriker951]

Now with this do you plan on upgrading the speakers in the car as well or no?

[@vaipuluj]

john doe yeah, I'll. Have to make a video for yall

[@jorgeamaya3581]

I'm sorry where did you get it? I want to buy one

[@juliandomenarobles1878]

que tamaño es ese radio que le pusistes?

[@OfficialHopelost9]

I have the same car, are you having any troubles with the volume of the speakers? is it possible to put an amp in this car to boost the volume?

[@vaipuluj]

OfficialHopelost9 are you using the Bluetooth function to play music? if you are, the sound through bluetooth is optimized for phone calls, not music. that was the driving force behind updating the stereo, now i can stream audio that takes full advantage of the sound system

[@OfficialHopelost9]

joshua vaipulu I don't have Bluetooth on it sadly. I think I just need to upgrade the speakers and amp, haha. my old car had an aftermarket one I just found out

[@vaipuluj]

OfficialHopelost9 the door speakers are just paper cone speakers, you're going to need more than an amp to pump up these things

[@SerenaCavanaugh]

I have the car and the stereo is bullshit. Radio is so low even on bust. It annoys me so bad

[@cynfed1916]

OfficialHopelost9

[@abbeynormal8623]

I'm assuming they build some head units to be compatible with the steering wheel controls as my 2014 mirage does have this option.

[@vaipuluj]

You dont need a specific stereo to integrate steering wheel function. The wire adapter is a bit different

[@abbeynormal8623]

@@vaipuluj Thanks for the quick relpy.

[@bigfootvslittlefoot]

Finally found wireharness for mine should be here tomorrow went three different audio stores none carried it found one on Amazon

[@nathanwhalley5922]

icybeer do you have a link for it I can't seem to find one

[@user-py6sy4zm1v]

so if i buy a new head unit and install the bluetooth functions on the steering wheel would still work???

[@vaipuluj]

kinda, the blue tooth is stand alone. it wont function through the new head unit, it will work independently. the other, controls will still control the stereo

[@moagoo5714]

Will the phone feature still work?

[@saucerfloyd]

Hi Joshua, Great Video!!! Do you have a wiring diagram of you OEM Mitsubishi mirage Radio?

[@vaipuluj]

Alejandro Jimenez I don't, but you shouldn't need one unless you cut directly into the harness... which I cannot recommend against enough

[@danielbabor]

sir Alejandro Jimenez... were you able to get the wiring diagram for your mirage?

[@eddiez7117]

Where did you get the shroud???

[@vaipuluj]

Eddie Alvarez I bought mine from eBay, but here's a link for you www.crutchfield.com/p_120957016/Metra-95-7016GHG-Dash-Kit.html?tp=3121&awkw=75719472145&awat=pla&awnw=g&awcr=48383981065&awdv=m&awug=9023446 they are also available at best buy online

Lo necesito el vídeo en español, gracias.

[@ModelingTabi]

I'm a college student looking to buy this car and I've heard people saying that it is scary to drive...I'm really worried about this...do u think it is??

[@vaipuluj]

No, I drive it every day and it drives great. I'd definitely buy it again. What makes the car "scary", is its low weight, and small size. If youre not used to driving a small car you might not feel as firm in your driving experience. My last car was a toyota echo, so crossing over was a snap, but if I was driving an suv or large sedan it might feel less sure. What was your last car?

[@shepd3]

Only scary if you decide to drive at top speed on the highway. Stick to the speed limits on the highway and it's very easy. If you live somewhere with snow/ice in the winter, buy a set of winter tires. I bought a second Mirage for my wife, we love these cars so much.

[@computer5251]

Modelingmareine1 lol I drove my mirage through a blizzard going 90, had no problems besides the wind pushing it

[@willnavarez2662]

Hey Joshua I have a mirage

[@senanarifzade]

i have 2014 Mits Mirage. bu I have not usb hole. Hole is empty ((((

[@vaipuluj]

There's no sub port in the stereo? Or there's no port in the glove box

[@senanarifzade]

joshua vaipulu Music box is supporting Usb mode. but usb hole is empty.

[@russellhostetler8307]

@@senanarifzade hey for those of you that can't find the USB port it is inside of the glove box up in the corner it's just a wire that hangs down and it's black and you hook your USB to it almost like an extension cord to an extension cord only it's just a cord hanging out about 6 in you got to look around the glove box you'll feel it is in there

[@riyaan1993]

awful..didnt get to see the proper installation and "after installation part" due to pathetic recording at night
