2005 Subaru Forester radio install

In this video I finally install a double din touch screen head unit by Atoto. I go over all the wiring and trim removal. This is a great android radio to install in a forester.
Here is the wiring diagram ae64.com

Dude sounds like Ryan Reynolds

I was going to say the same thing. The intro with the screw driver comment and such. 100%

Awesome vid! My stock equipment died one day after owning the car for a few years. It died because it wasn't properly grounded and that explains why it would always do strange things. Anyway it's awesome to have bluetooth capability now! Might've been a bad move but instead of acquiring the wire attatchment, I used wire nuts to connect them and zip tied the wires together to keep tension off the wire nuts. It's properly grounded and have had no problems for the past few months. The downside to my method is that if I want to switch it out again, I'll have to undo everything and do it again as opposed to simply unplugging the wire attachment and plugging it into the new one. The upside of course is not having to solder or buy the wire harness. (I was driven to do this because my local autoparts store didn't have the harness I needed in stock)

[@davidcollette4917]

Thanks for figuring out the dimmer dilemma for me! I’m installing the same head in an 05 forester lol

[@chrisguzman7926]

was it the same process? I got an 05 forester I might install this on also

[@Bluesfree]

Thank you for amazing informations . This is most complete guide for Subaru car radio wirings that I found . 🎉

[@andsync]

your video inspired me to do the same to my forester from 2003. Worked out fine! Really really helpful video, also after two years! (I did use a harness, very easy.). Everything worked and fitted at once. Radio reception (FM) is so much better. (My old unit was even older than yours.)

[@notsure659]

I have the Atoto A6 installed in an 05 Forester and the stock radio mounts were just slightly to small to encase the A6 without breaking off the bottom part of the stock metal stereo mount bracket and oddly I had to sand down the plastic stock faceplace for the A6 to actually fit through it so it wasn't sunken do deep. Great video, super instructive and thourough.

[@tjadventures]

Nice step by step, congrats!

[@ivanovgeorgi9432]

Amazing. Thank you so much. You helped me a lot. Ps mine is with multi steering wheel.

[@dukezero5074]

Great video, helped a lot! Thank you!

[@beefboy9259]

Amazing vid!!! Thank you so much!

[@saucylemon7756]

Looking forward to the sub install

[@darvinmunnings1381]

Good information

[@dcamg1wc883]

Great video! (Also it's Japanese, not Chinese on the labels ;) )

[@ramonmeza6108]

Good job thanks you .

[@BrendenPragasam]

Why did you decide not to use a wiring harness? That would be alot of work to fix or revert back to stock :(

[@TheducksOrg]

he's the previous owner that people complain about when trying to do stuff to secondhand cars.. :/

[@jarontaden7731]

I did the same thing with my Foster Instead of ordering off a Amazon because know one local Carries it so instead of waiting for two or three days to get here I was in patient Definitely kicking myself now Especially after the headache And switching decks Again after that loo

[@spelunkerd]

The worst thing about this is the way you can no longer remove the radio without having to cut all those wires. So, if a future mechanic needs to get at the heater core, or to the HVAC actutators, etc, he needs to cut and resolder all those wires, rather than simply unclipping the connector.

[@IRIE21]

Hey guys. I put the radio in ! Has anyone found a harness for the subwoofer that works !?

[@iankrahel]

It’s much easier than I thought, but for a standard 06 impreza which I assumed would have the same colour wires. It is not u will have to look up on google the pin out

[@chrisguzman7926]

for the ground couldn't you just connect the Two ground cables without connecting it to metal? just curious cause I'm gonna install a head unit on my 05 forester tomorrow and would just like to make sure

[@iankrahel]

@@chrisguzman7926 just connect the ground together it should work

[@joeguest1616]

I only ran into one problem do I g my forester and that was the climate controls bot coming out how can I fix that

[@IRIE21]

I ordered this and it’s so thin. It’s not the one on the link

[@victorian.mccormick6298]

Great vid!

[@rol_rob2603]

Do you think it would work for me to install a 7 inches pioneer car play receptor? I don't know if that size could fit in that space

[@trey885]

Did you connect all 3 of pin 11-red/black ground wire, new stereo-black ground wire, and original-black/yellow ground wire and then ground the 3 of those on the metal bolt?

[@princelinus8320]

The yellow/green accessory wire is the one you tap into with the remote turn on lead, correct?

[@CUSSLIKEASAILOR]

☝🏾❤️🤙🏾

[@joeydurt5438]

I got a new double din head that had non removable trim pieces, wouldn’t fit in my 05 beware guys not all double dins fit

[@shaqtinafool_yt1990]

So you have to unplug your battery? Sorry, the message was a little too subtle🤣🤣

[@haydens4313]

How did you go with the steering wheel controls? having trouble with mine atm

[@JRobling]

Just recently posted a video on installing a new steering wheel and how to install the steering wheel controls

[@awesomemorgs1377]

Hi. How many inches is that android stereo?

[@KerKoy]

Any issues to date? Was this a good buy/install?

[@JRobling]

Zero issues to date, still using it and loving it

[@KerKoy]

@@JRoblingyou remember what you paid? It’s $168 on Amazon right now! “Deal”.

[@GhostOfSinaloa]

Is this 7" double din

[@Boomyd135]

Hey, would you mind providing a link for where to purchase the car play system?

[@JRobling]

It is in the description

[@Profcrab]

Wiring harnesses to adapt to a car are so cheap. Clipping off the factory harness just makes it super annoying to have to ever swap the radio again.

[@shrimpu]

Would this work in a 2006 Forester LL Bean with the door mount (A pillar) tweeters? (I attached the tweeters myself and the connection/plugs was already there). Thanks IA

[@shaqtinafool_yt1990]

I have an 06 Forester as well. Is the process the same as this one?

[@shrimpu]

@@shaqtinafool_yt1990 So I did a little more digging and found that the tweeters are part of the main audio harness. So this process should be the same for 2006 from what i can see.

[@victorian.mccormick6298]

You are so funny!

[@shaqtinafool_yt1990]

Is this head unit still available?

[@realguywithatie2363]

How do you make the screen not be so set back, did you have to add washers? Bc my 04 forester is making the radio be very set back

[@JRobling]

When you install the bracket you have to make sure they are as far back as they can go

[@amari9773]

Were you able to fix it? I'm hoping to do the same on my 04 Forester.

[@dyllanthompson8558]

[@alonsoaldea8987]

Hi from Peru How many inches it is ?

[@3ko205]

.

[@RedBeardRebass]

@@3ko205 .

[@garths88]

How is the sound quality?

[@JRobling]

Much louder than the original because it is pushing more watts. I kept the same speakers so the clarity is the same
