MMCS (I think) & Spotties

Hi All,

I finally got the car ****YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY**** I'll post some pics soon, thanks again Chef... (He's had to put up with a lot

It's running great except a few things... Hopefully someone here may be able to help...

1. The tv screen/sat nav thingy doesn't seem to have power running to it, eg it's not working and none of the lights are on...

2. The spot lamps aren't all working, the 2 nearest to the grille are working but the outside ones aren't... I thought it may of been a function that only works with the high beam but that doesn't seem to matter?... Any ideas...?

Oh btw I checked the fuses for problem number 1 and that seems ok...

 

And while I'm on the topic has anyone had any luck converting to English and uploading Aus maps...?

 

The MMCS should just turn on with the car, u will need to make sure u have the sat Nav disk in the drive in the boot. I have the English translation cd, just email me ... No one is close with the sat nav being able to use Aussie maps.
The outside spotties will have been disabled in compliance. My globes were removed ... I think they are turning lights ... ?!?!

 

Hey hey - congrats man, I'm sure those minor moans will be sorted out real quick. Can't help you with any of those questions I'm afraid but look forward to seeing some pics soon!

 

I believe the outer fog lights only come on when the indicators are on to light up the road you're about to turn into.

 

There's a drive in the boot??? Where..???

Is there any way you can have all the spot lamps on? I want 4!!! The reason that I ask is that the VR4 in the top left hand of this screen has all 4 on without the indicator on...

 

Yeah the globes were removed... Are they easy to get and install..? (the globes I mean)

 

not that hard... I had a mate with a Mirage with the side indicator light as well, he managed to get an auto electrician to do it.. might be a defect though as you can have a max of 6 forward facing lights on at the same time.

 

Congratulations on getting the car, good to hear that those are the only problems. They sound pretty easy to fix, so you should have it all working perfectly in no time at all.

 

yeah the side lights only come on when you are indicating, but it is very easy to wire them up in parallel so all 4 come on when you hit the fogs.

I would imagine that they are a fairly standard part that would be compatible with a lot of other mitsi bulbs.

Even without an mmcs cd, then screen should still power up and come up with a warning in japanese. What happens when you press display on the aircon control unit?

 

There's a display option on the a/c??? (Got a pic of it) I didn't see (not to say that it's not there)... Does that power the thing up? Also is the mmcs and the cd player separate? I.e. can I just swap the cd player over and keep the screen...?

 

I can't see a 'display button', but I can't check the car till later tonight...

 

I have a feeling you don't have MMCS because if I read correctly from the info threads, MMCS means your climate control is integrated with the screen.

and Judging by the pics you posted on your signature, it seems you don't have MMCS, just some Jap DVD/Satnav/stereo thing.

 

Yeah I'm kinda getting that feeling too... It says Mitsubishi on the top of the screen though so it's factory...

Anyway this is it... I should say this is like my set up... This is not my car...

 

Congrats on finally getting the car, Matt!

Sadly you don't have MMCS - that's just the standard aircon control unit there

MMCS looks something like this:



The MMCS unit is a touchscreen display that looks like a moulded-in double-din at the top of the centre-console dash, leaving a single-din stereo space below.

 

Even worse I have just been told by a reliable source that it's farked! Bugger...

Off to shop for a screen and dvd player...

 

damn thats no good, atleast you can choose something nice and new, and it will be in English

 

Components of MMCS. Not that it helps you any, now

Good luck Matt!

 

yeah look on the bright side, it was only in japanese anyway!

The buggers at shogun cut the wires coming out of my side pointing foggies I wish they had just removed the globes instead..
