Great video, I'm about to do an install on my Subie and was searching and watching many install videos, this is by far the best. Thanks for sharing your experience, and install.

*********** A Big Thank you !! ...this is the best detailed video on the Subaru Radio replacement !! *****************

[@mindylee5310]

Thank you!! I literally just spent like an hour and a half trying to unscrew the bezel before finding this video.

[@leonardjuarez1]

I have a 2013 XV with this exact same radio, (as original equipment, I am replacing it now). Unlike the car in this video, my hvac controls below connect only by electrical wires and plugs, not by mechanical push/pull connections with a loop on a hard wire. My 'electronic' hvac control is much easier to work with. Check your subtype and watch vids for my+1/my-1 to find an exact match for your car. This video provides no info for the 2nd white connector on the back of the original radio, (20 pin as 2x10), and overlooks swc/aux/mic functions. Even for this Clarion oem unit shown here are versions. I sepnt $12 for a Clarion deep tech manual for this exact model of head unit, and the manual describes a 3rd 20 pin connector on the back of the radio. My XV and Clarion each only have 2 big white connectors, like the vid shows, (see at 7:35). The entire subject is a bit swampy.

Correction, my 2nd white connectior on the back of the Clarion is 16 pin as 8x2. Thx

Great video very detailed! Helped me big time thank you!!

[@kambosoop]

Thanks for this video! Going to try swapping mine out next week.

Thanks for the video I got one from Amazon with screen attached with the body, I missing harness for storing well control 😢 I couldn't remove the vents from body can you also show that

[@mrspookypoo727]

With your backup camera, did you have to solder any wires in to any of the harnesses in the front dash or did you just connect it to the reverse lights?

[@alisonfarrellsongs7075]

Thanks Max. Very helpful!

[@connerpinson802]

What about the other small white connecter after I installed everything but that I have abs lights what do I do with that other connector

[@matrixlee6392]

Very inspiring video! Could you or anyone kindly tell me where to buy the aftermarket harness shown at 10:44? Or what name to search for?

[@blush416]

I bought an adapter harness that looks like this from a car stereo install shop, (see vid at 10:49). For me, the problem is that not all connector locations are populated. Mine is empty for pin locations 2/4/11/12/13/14/19. These are needed. Avoid this.

[@matrixlee6392]

Thank for replying, I ended up getting advice from CRUTCHFIELD and they recommend the right stuff to use. I ordered the basic kit from them and everything worked out pretty good. @@blush416

[@BenGates101]

Can you add a navigation system to an older Subaru that didn’t have one previously?

[@ItsTomTom_]

man i know this was 7 years ago but when you took out the ground from the old radio did you find place to slide the ground to the new radio or do you not need it?

[@MJGerManiac]

I asked the same thing to myself. Had you found a solution?

[@Chris-gw4zp]

Link to dash kit?

[@717YamahaR1]

Where did you get the trim for the radio

[@josephnieva23]

can you still use the controls on the steering wheel?

[@ricksegura72]

Joseph Nieva yes you can if you purchase the steering wheel interface

[@abeljohnson7843]

How did you plug in the steering wheel harness to the aftermarket radio? Thank you in advance.

[@krisb1445]

Need a SWC module and splicing is required. Take it to a proffessional

[@kareduff]

what's the size of the screen? I mean the whole device, so I can look for different brands

[@Momo_8k]

Look for a double-din sized unit. Crutchfield (www.crutchfield.com/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fcar%2foutfitmycar%2fmycar.aspx) is a great place for browsing and purchasing these radios, as they have great support and customer service. But they are more expensive than other website.

[@dubvbaseball7]

How did you retain your back up camera on the new radio? I noticed the old headunit didn't have a spot for rca cables to fit. Did you buy a converter?

[@deltabravo1257]

The factory radio shown does not have a backup camera display

[@jeronimogil6290]

What did you do with the black cable that states for subaru only?

[@ricksegura72]

Jeronimo Gil that’s where you attach the ground wire from your new radio

[@alexsebacc]

hello, where do you buy this elements?..

[@ricksegura72]

Alex Cepeda Best Buy

[@ahmadfaris3658]

One wrong move and kablooey goes the airbags

[@sleeepysamson]

What Pioneer model is this?

[@ricksegura72]

Chelsea G. Pioneer AVHX391BHS

[@luisfuentes5405]

did you have to disconnect the negative end of the car battery

[@ricksegura72]

Luis Fuentes if your going to wire the harness in the car while you have it plugged in then yes I would recommend disconnecting the ground cable from your battery.

[@borrero2000]

It is a bit irresponsible to do a tutorial without setting the radio models and the low volume.
