    I ordered the Idoing from WRX Daily as well and accidentally ordered the 2015 base one instead of the 2016-2021 one because I didn’t know. I emailed them a few hours after I realized and let them know I was trying to cancel my order so that I could order the correct head unit. Hopefully they can get back to me and I can get sent the correct one.

      All the small connectors should be plug and play if you have the right head unit from idoing… if they aren’t, the kit should come with short adapter plug and play adapters.

    I have the older one and I ordered direct through idoing and they also texted me and emailed me about which model I had. Glad they did, because I almost bought a newer one from someone local and it probably would not have worked for me. Only question I have for you, which I have yet to find, that wire pack you opened that says wrx forester old, did you use those wires at all? They also included it when they shipped mine, but I still don't see what would connect to them.

    • @richdangelo

      Never mind, I found the info in the below comments with a video, it appears thats how you get the backup camera to work with the head unit.

      If you buy the head unit from a reputable source it should come with the cables… but also this one is meant to work with your factory harness so most of it should work out of the package.
