Where did you buy the cable and the fascia? Do you have a link?

I will get my SDA in the next week so your help is badly needed.

Also the preheat/charge timers from the head unit are not accessible. Everything else is working great though including Apple CarPlay after purchasing the cable 8755A296 and facia 8718A030

The cable and facia were both ordered from a Mitsubishi dealer, it took a number of weeks to arrive from japan. Another option might be to remove the cables from a damaged car in a breaker yard

What is the cable for?

why do you need a fascia, shouldn’t it be straight forward replacement?

can you please show a photo of your finished project?

I am in the process of doing the same conversion. I got my SDA from a wrecker together with USB cables. Everything is good except no mic and no DAB+ radio. Foxtrotoscar has solved the DAB+ issue if I can get the same conversion cables that he used. The schematics sound very interesting and may shed light on the mic problem. Where or how did you get them? My other big problem is I have a Google Pixel 2 XL and it's not on the compatibility list with the SDA. The Pixel 2 is, but not the 2 XL. Is it just that the list was compiled before the 2 XL was on the market, or does the SDA interrogate the connected phone?

The cables I got from the wrecker were complete. It would be great if you could share the schematics.

Thanks for the schematics. Now to try to make sense of the mic circuit on page 10 compared to the MMCS.
