Aerpro SWMB8C Steering Wheel Control Interface for Mitsubishi Challenger Colt and Triton MN GLX-R Non-Amplified Vehicles
The Aerpro SWMB8C is an analogue steering wheel control (SWC) interface for select Mitsubishi vehicles without OEM amplified audio systems. It retains factory steering wheel audio controls after an aftermarket head unit is installed. Phone button and voice assistant button support are not available. Not suitable for OEM amplified vehicles. No wire cutting is required.
Product overview
The SWMB8C bridges the factory steering wheel control signals to the aftermarket head unit using an analogue interface and SW patch lead. A vehicle-specific plug connects directly into the existing Mitsubishi wiring without cutting or modifying the factory loom. The aftermarket head unit must be SWC compatible, and steering wheel control functions may vary from the original OEM functions.
This interface suits non-amplified variants only. If your Mitsubishi is fitted with an OEM amplified audio system, the SWMB8C is not suitable an alternative interface will be required. No outputs are provided for reverse trigger, park brake, speed pulse, illumination or amplifier remote. OEM AUX input and OEM amplified system retention are not supported. Phone button and voice assistant functionality are also not available on this interface. Custom button remapping is available if needed using a USB-C cable (sold separately). Pairing with the Aerpro APP8 Headunit Secondary ISO Harness (sold separately) is recommended for a complete installation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my Mitsubishi has an OEM amplified system? Mitsubishi vehicles with OEM amplified audio systems typically include Rockford Fosgate or similar branded audio mentioned in the vehicle specifications, additional amplifier modules in the boot or under seats, and a higher-end speaker system. If you are unsure whether your vehicle has an amplified system, check the vehicle's specifications or contact us before purchasing.
Is the SWMB8C suitable for all Triton MN variants? No. The SWMB8C suits only the Triton MN GLX-R trim from 2009 to 2012. Other Triton MN variants may require a different interface. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector to confirm the correct part for your specific Triton variant.
Does the SWMB8C support phone or voice assistant buttons? No. Neither phone button nor voice assistant button functionality is available on the SWMB8C. If these features are required, check the Aerpro range for an alternative Mitsubishi-compatible interface that includes phone or voice assistant button support.
Do I need to cut any factory wiring to install the SWMB8C? No. The SWMB8C harness includes a vehicle-specific plug that connects directly into the existing Mitsubishi wiring without any cutting or modification to the factory loom.
What is the Aerpro APP8 and do I need it? The Aerpro APP8 is a headunit secondary ISO harness that connects between the aftermarket head unit and the SWMB8C interface, simplifying the overall installation. It is sold separately and is recommended but not mandatory for the SWMB8C to function.
