The issue I had was the Wi-Fi kept shutting off till I installed the 4G antenna the only issue left is the clarity of the headunit with backup camera no setting to adjust it.
Does the phone auto connect when you get in the car? The stock base unit in mine needs to be manually paired every time the car is shut off.....super annoying.....
Amazing video bro, just a couple questions where did you place the gps antenna for the unit? Also, did you need a wireless adapter to enable wireless CarPlay? Doing some research before making my purchase!
There is one, however I have the OEM kicker sub, which has a plug and play harness for stock radio, so I didn’t have to use it. Didn’t pay much attention to it
Great review and looks to be a worthwhile upgrade! You seem to be very familiar with it's details....Does Sirius XM still come up as an option under the Radio menu??
Man I’ve put this upgrade to the side for awhile to get power mods but this looks like it’ll really upgrade the interior and driving experience. You can tell the stock head unit just seems old and outdated

Just installed mine and can’t seem to get Apple car play to work. Any tips?
I see you are running a RK track edition now, can you make a video on it??? There’s no videos on it with a WRX on STIs
Yes, I will try to make one soon. I have a few clips already, but need to make some UA-cam worthy ones

Did you see any plugs or extra harness that was meant for an external amplifier?

Do U have dust behind the screen... it was problem with unit I was using
Did you use the gps antenna that plugs into the headunit or does it work well without that cable/antenna?
Are you able to use the volume and skip track from the steering wheel?

There is multiple options for the 2017+ wrx. Which exact one did you pick?
Make sure you get the one that works with your sound system, stock or Harmon kardon. Also options if you have eyesights and such

Great head unit and even better review. Thank you! I think this works too for Subaru XV first gen. Has anyone tried it?
is there any audio lag on carplay when making phone calls?
not at all
Does the back up camera work? Also
Can you still control volume and skip song with the steering controls?
Yea. unit has a built in 12v to 6v converter so it still works. steering wheel controls are mappable on the unit, so also yea
Does the screen automatically dim at night?
How do you get apple CarPlay on it
Are you still able to use apple maps rather than google maps?
Can you mirror your iPhone on it?
Do you know how to connect to the internet or tether to the phone?
Need to make sure the WiFi antenna is installed, and connect to WiFi to connect to your phone. I was able to get it setup pretty easily
How long do you think the unit will last?
As far as updates etc have one been having issues getting installed mine's an ownice tho.
I hope I can get a decent amount of years out of it. So far the unit has been amazing
your unit juts out so much... not a very seamless look
thats intentional so that you can see it in the sun lol. having it sloped would be terrible!
