Hey guys, just picked up my new Triton today and only purchased it because Mitsubishi told me they were about to release a software fix that scales down the sensitivity of the monitoring system. Well, apparently, I am the first one to receive this, and I must admit it is pretty bloody good. Did a lot of miles, and the only time it was annoying was driving with one arm at 12 o' clock as this covers the device from seeing your face. Apart from that, I was very impressed. Go see Mitsubishi and get the upgrade. We'll worth it. Not sure if they are charging for it. They didn't for me! Cheers, Dan
@@user-dy3jl3uy6p the software update released two days ago and it’s totally free. Won’t cancel it permanently though. Increasing the time of monitoring from 3 seconds to 6 seconds when the engine is idle. As far as I know.
Hi @PrimeTechauto , it's not when the engine is idle from what I am experiencing. It's while driving. I have since spoken to a few people who have had this update and they all say it is so much better. Still can't turn it off permanently though as you say. Cheers!
@@user-dy3jl3uy6p ah ok… I’m getting done mine next week sometimes. Yeah few people said it’s so much better. I know it’s annoying sometimes when it’s goes off every time you turn your head. Even checking mirrors. I don’t think they will release any update for permanent delete. Cheers
@PrimeTechauto Yep, Mitsubishi said they won't be enabling a complete turn-off as this would affect their uncap safety rating. You would think that some auto electrician will come up with a shutoff workaround sooner or later. I just wonder how this would affect your insurance if you were to have a serious accident ?
@@user-dy3jl3uy6p I don’t think we have a law in Australia to take the data out from the car to use for insurance purposes. Even theres a black box in the car. (Similar a to data event recorder) but sooner will be. Some other countries using the DMS system as an evidence when accidents occur. Even deleting shouldn’t be hard if anyone with programming knowledges. Because , you know that we already have dpf or egr delete from engine ECU.
Yeah, that's the bad side of it. this is so annoying when you wear sunglasses. if it's too dark. this warning goes off so annoyingly. in future this feature going to use on many products.
@@dmk8791 if you not buying it’s because of this feature. I won’t say a word. I’ve been driving mine for over a month now. And I love it. This feature isn’t that bad. You will get use to it. Power, comfort and interior are fantastic.
“For your safety” - social media censorship - forced injections - driver distracting dashboard that causes accidents and cannot be turned off permanently… Gee, thanks. Where do I pay the money?
I had a brand new generation triton as a loaner while my Silverado was being delivered and all i can say is the monitoring system is nothing but a huge pain in the arse ! Its way more distracting than using a phone while driving !!!!
Yeah Tru. They should have locate this camera in a A pillar, but you will see this monitoring system for all the cars coming to Australia in future, as a part of a ANCAP. And also I assume insurance companies will use the data in near future (if they bring up a law)
@@behindthebuild8016 I assume, MMAL will send us a software update soon to change this setting to permanent solution…. At least this can come on after certain speed limit.
If you cover the camera , you will get the warning always. Trust me you will get use to it. I had the same annoying feeling when I first purchased. But I’m used to it now.
@@PrimeTechauto Like with many drivers I typically drive with one hand at 12o’clock. This means that the system will not work for any of these drivers. The monitoring system should have been in the rear view mirror and only switch on after maybe an hour… Big miss for me… I am due a new ute was going to upgrade my triton for the new model… nope. Just have to hope the nissan version has an option without this “feature”.
@@bens5186 but the Nissan is not as good a vehicle, we bought the Triton.. I often drive one handed as @primetechauto said, but I ususally turn it off..

But once you deactivate it.. (as shown) will it reactivate every time you restart the engine?.. is the deactivation permanent?
@@PierreFromCanada the bad thing is it’s not permanent 😔
I have the 2021 triton and I’m in and out of the car all day no way I’m buying the new triton as I’m not going to do this all day

What happens if you put electrical tape over the sensor prior to startup?

@@Warick.Grubb. the nissan which shares the “new” triton model under the alliance is not due to be announced until the end of this year.
Apparently this works, rather than have to switch it off every time you get in the car
