New Member, New VRX - MOlsen

[MOlsen]

Hi all.
My name is Michael.
I travel between Brisbane and Gold Coast and I am the proud owner of a new Lancer CJMY13 VRX. And very very happy with it so far.

I look forward to picking your brains for ways to get the most out of my vehicle. I especially would love any hints and suggestions for maximising the potential of the MMCS.

Hey Michael, welcome to club CJ!

Not much you can do to improve the MMCS, it's a a pretty good unit. All in one. Bluetooth phone works well, reads you text messages, sat nav is pretty good, music play back/control could be better, no USB input but lots of car functions.

I think the only way you can improve it is hack it with the overide kit so no functions are locked out when moving.

Or use the japanese TV datasystem kit (essentially the same thing except you can watch DVDs while driving).

sat nav is pretty good,

Sat nav was an optional extra ($2500) that I did not get. I may look into an alternative aftermarket solution down the line.

I would not watch DVD's while driving. However that datasystem may become a future project. Thanks for the link.

Welcome to the club, anything new in the MY13's VRX?

Not sure there is anything new to rave about over the MY12s. The reverse camera now shows in the MMCS instead of on the rearview mirror. It is a very lovely vehicle which I am extremely happy to drive.

Sounds cool, probaly quite a few new features since the MY08 VRX Lancers!

How is the 08? Still running strong?
I have family and friends who have had lancers for 10 years+, which is why I went the Lancer. I plan on keeping this car for a very long time.

Yep, still going stong and still love the car! Had a Mirage before the Lancer and never had an issue with that either!

Although did have an issue with the Smart Key 6 months back, but all good now and was fixed under warranty!

G'day Michael - welcome.

Watch it with the override kit. Some grumbles over on the Pajero forums.

Welcome to the club. In my opinion aftermarket will always be better over a factory headunit

Hey Michael, MY13 lancers come with the 6.1" touch screen control system. This isn't the MMCS just to let you know. The optional MMCS is the unit with the sat nav.

How is the control system? Any pics?
