The 2007 Model Mitsubishi Pajero (known as the Shogun in the United Kingdom and as the Montero in the USA) was the 4th and last generation of the large Mitsubishi 4x4.
Like previous generations it comes as both a short wheel base 3 door and a long wheel base 5 door.
Sales of the Pajero in Japan and the Shogun in the UK ended in 2019 with production continuing for Australia, Africa and the Middle East until 2021 with the final models being sold in 2022.
At launch the car could be ordered with a basic FM radio or a "Mitsubishi Multi Communication System" satellite navigation system (MMCS) and either radio could be specified with either the basic sound system with the radio driving the speakers or a 12 speaker "Rockford Acoustic Design" sound system with a Rockford Fosgate amplifier and a 10" subwoofer in the boot. These can be easily identified by a "Rockford Accoustic Design" label in the middle of the basic radio or at the top of the climate controls on models with satellite navigation. Please see below:
On cars without Rockford audio and a basic FM radio, use interface 29-681. If the car has Navigation without Rockford use interface 29-702.
Models with Rockford Acoustic Audio require an interface that sends a digital switch on to the amplifier, there is not currently an interface available for cars built before 2010 and the amplifier will have to be bypassed. Around 2010 the basic radio with Rockford was revised, with two white plugs (20 pin and 18 pin) as its main connections to the car. These can be changed using our interface 29-CTMT07. The MMCS system stayed with the older style grey plugs for a couple of years until a mild interior facelift in 2013 bought new radios to the car.
On cars with MMCS and Rockford built after 2010, some cars have the wiring loom terminating in the whiter plugs used on the basic system in the dashboard, with a wiring harness approximately 300mm in length converting the loom with the white plugs to the earlier type grey plugs. This is usually wrapped in harness tape and difficult to find, but should they be there (not on all vehicles) then the interface 29-CTMT07 can be used to change the radio with the harness extension removed.
The new radios of 2013 changed both the radios which then all used white plugs and changed how the Rockford system works. The majority of facelift radios use a piano black fascia, compared to the earlier matt black. Lower specification models after 2013 come with an FM radio/CD player with Bluetooth audio, also found in the Outlander and L200/Triton, this was not available with Rockford Acoustic Sound, these can be changed with interface 29-681. The facelift navigation systems all use white plugs and can be quickly distinguished by them having a rotary control towards the top on both the left and right of the screen. Without Rockford, they require the 29-681 interface, like the earlier basic radio. If they have the Rockford Amplifier then they will use 29-CTMT09 interface.
