Description
10" Wireless CarPlay for the Later Mitsubishi Lancer CJ SWC and AUX Retained, Optional Camera and USB Adaptors Available
Product Overview
The Aerpro AMDMB5 is a complete head unit upgrade kit for the Mitsubishi Lancer CJ (2010–2017) in non-amplified specification. The companion kit to the AMDMB4 (which covers 2007–2010), the AMDMB5 addresses the facelifted and later Lancer variants that added factory reverse camera and USB connectivity as options providing upgrade paths for those features via separately sold adaptors while retaining SWC (including the phone button) and factory AUX input as standard.
The kit includes the AM1005D multimedia receiver (10" display), black facia kit, SWC interface harness, SWC patch lead, and a 720P AHD universal rear camera. Factory reverse camera retention requires the separately sold APVMT01 adaptor; factory USB port retention requires the separately sold APMTUSB1 adaptor.
Features & Benefits
-
10" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 resolution — the same 10" AM1005D format used in the AMDMB4; significantly larger than the standard 9" AM905D screen in the rest of the Aerpro range
-
SWC retained including phone button — all factory Lancer steering wheel controls including the phone button carry over via the SWC interface harness and patch lead
-
Factory AUX input retained (if equipped) — retained as standard via the RCA AUX input on the rear of the head unit; no additional purchase required
-
Factory reverse camera — APVMT01 required (sold separately) — where the Lancer CJ is factory-equipped with a reverse camera, it can be retained using the APVMT01 camera retention adaptor; this adaptor connects to the head unit's reverse camera input and is sold separately
-
Factory USB port — APMTUSB1 required (sold separately) — where the Lancer CJ has a factory USB port, it can be retained using the APMTUSB1 USB retention adaptor; this adaptor connects to the rear USB input on the head unit and is sold separately
-
Non-amplified models only — factory-amplified Lancer CJ variants require a different kit
-
Park brake wire connection required — Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will not activate unless the park brake wire is correctly connected to the park brake during installation
-
Black vehicle-specific facia kit — matched to the Lancer CJ interior trim
-
Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — connect over Wi-Fi for maps, music, calls, and messages; wired USB also supported for simultaneous phone charging
-
Built-in DAB+ digital radio — digital audio clarity and expanded station access; AM/FM with RDS, 18 FM and 12 AM presets included
-
Bluetooth V5 with HD Voice — hands-free calling, audio streaming, and phonebook access; internal and external microphone included
-
720P AHD universal rear camera included — Sony 225 1/3" CMOS sensor, 150-degree lens; provides reversing visibility alongside or instead of the retained factory camera
-
4 x 50W max output with 5CH 4V RCA preouts — supports external amplifier integration via front/rear/sub preamp channels

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AMDMB5 differ from the AMDMB4?
The AMDMB4 covers the Lancer CJ (2007–2010); the AMDMB5 covers the later Lancer CJ (2010–2017). The AMDMB5 adds optional pathways for retaining the factory reverse camera (via APVMT01) and factory USB port (via APMTUSB1), both sold separately — the AMDMB4 does not have these options. Both kits use the same 10" AM1005D and retain SWC (including phone button) and AUX as standard.
Can I retain the factory reverse camera?
Yes, if your Lancer CJ is factory-equipped with one — but it requires the separately sold APVMT01 camera retention adaptor, which is not included in this kit. The adaptor connects to the head unit's reverse camera input. The included 720P AHD rear camera provides reversing visibility regardless.
Can I retain the factory USB port?
Yes, if your Lancer CJ has a factory USB port — but it requires the separately sold APMTUSB1 USB retention adaptor, which is not included in this kit. The adaptor connects to the rear USB input on the head unit.
What is retained as standard without buying extra accessories?
The AMDMB5 kit as supplied retains SWC (including the phone button) and factory AUX input (if equipped). Camera and USB retention both require separate adaptor purchases.
Why is the park brake wire required?
The AM1005D head unit includes a safety interlock requiring the park brake wire to be connected to the actual park brake. Without this connection, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will not activate.
