Crosstrek Gets a New Idoing Headunit! - Apple Carplay Wireless and Adroid Auto

[@quanly9745]

when i click on the link it gives me the option for WRX and Forester but not the xv, which one would be the correct one?

[@matthewbrandt4556]

So how do you connect with factory reverse camera?

[@loui828]

Will this work on a 2014 XV crosstrek? And what camera should i pair it with? It’d be nice to show a video with how to run the wires for the reverse camera.

[@fescobar1000]

On the link you provided it. There’s two options which will fit on a Subaru 2017 Crosstrek ?

[@BeauEllis-mq8qg]

Great job leaving out steps.

[@Kidney_Thief]

Did you have to remove any of the dash under the steering column to access the 10mm?

[@86309]

no , use a long extension and a swivel , you will not re use the two 10mm, you probably will drop the left (driver side one) but you should see it in the main section once you get the head unit out.(unless you have a magnetic 10mm.)

[@Kidney_Thief]

@@86309 I bought a set of wobble head extensions from Harbor Freight on Thursday. I'm going to magnetize one of my 10 mm sockets

[@86309]

no! to having to remove any panels on driver side, make sure you note the cable routing for the HVAC controls if yours are the manual push pull cables.

[@christophersk10]

did it get rid of backup lines and what about the oncoming beep? mine seemed to get rid of both of those... is there a way to fix that?

[@christophersk10]

also is there a way to use the oem mic?

[@UniPasta]

This very helpful. More content like this please for us Crosstrek owner wanting to mod

[@UniPasta]

Quick question, the idoing unit from the link you posted. I noticed the clip where the emergency button is different from wrx

[@JetScreamer_YT]

You don't need a harness to adapt the connections?

[@oliviamckinley7396]

I have a 2013 Crosstrek. Was wondering will this fit? I know mine looks about the same, just my stock radio isn't touch screen.

[@jucee32]

@wrxgarage, is this unit compatible with a 2014 crosstrek?

[@CarlSpanoghe]

Noticed that the linked unit says it is for a 2016 to 2021 WRX. But it seems to be the only one on their site with the silver trim on the air vents like the 2015 crosstrek limited. This is def the unit you got?

[@kevinm5177]

How is the visibility on the screen during the day? My daughter’s Forester screen is unreadable in daylight. It looks good on the video but I’m wondering at different times of day. Thx. Great video

[@robpnol]

I have the same head unit and visibility during sunny days is excellent. The screen is very bright.

[@claudioletelier5110]

Which one is compatible with the crosstrek? The wrx or the forester unit??

[@NortheasternATV]

Do the USB ports in the center console still work?

[@WRXGarage]

Yes but only for power.

[@dannyrodriguez1249]

Would this fit on a 2014 crosstrek

[@WRXGarage]

jdmuscleusa.com/?ref=j8xLbCGd Search Idoing and then select "Crosstrek 13-17" in popular vehicles on the left. If you order through jdmuscle, make sure to use this referral link!

[@danielwhitton4311]

Can u use waze on it? Cheers

[@WRXGarage]

Yeah! Waze works perfectly

[@briandineros]

Will this working on a 2023 crosstrek limited?

[@rakatika]

Very nice. Want to get this on my WRX. The stock unit is good enough but it's getting wonky with connecting to my new phone with Bluetooth

[@robpnol]

Great content! I have the same Idoing head unit in my WRX. Just installed it 3 weeks ago. It’s been great. FYI ... You don’t need to plug in the phone for CarPlay it’s able to do wireless CarPlay and Probably Android Auto as well.

[@ZoopChedda]

Rob, you ever have connection issues with the wireless carplay? like doesn't quite connect right away and finding you have to close zlink and reopen it?

[@robpnol]

@@ZoopChedda Hi, yeah a couple of times I’ve had it hang and not connect. I had to close the link app. Most of the time it takes about 10 to 15 seconds to connect and authenticate to my phone. Maybe just plugging it in is worth the hassle. 😬

[@ZoopChedda]

@@robpnol aha yeah eh, good to know though that it's not just mine! still lightyears better than the stock HU ! thanks

[@sjnims]

@WRXGarage, I found that my rear speakers were flip flopped (right on left, left on right), are you experiencing that as well?

[@WRXGarage]

No, everything seems to work fine on our system. You might just need to flip the pins with a depending tool

[@vunguyen-xp8vn]

Have you used wired CarPlay yet for iOS? Any settings I need to change to get it to work? It charges but no CarPlay for me

[@joselagunes969]

The headunit work on my 2018 Subaru wrx sti

[@DominicanRev]

Would this fit on my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek limited?

[@v-x-n-999]

Will this work on a 2017 Crosstrek?

[@fermonge8296]

How do you watch you tube or Netflix on the screen?, Amazon prime

[@alejandroosuna9743]

Do you have problems with the hotspot? I contacted my phone but I don't have internet and sometimes the signal it's really poor and takes long time to load a video for example

[@WRXGarage]

Sorry, I've never used the hotspot function so I don't really know anything about it.

[@nategadow4482]

Will this unit work on a 2017 forester?

[@MrNE2013]

I ordered this on Friday says it’s coming on the 23rd of Aug I got with your link how was the shipping?

[@WRXGarage]

Ships in around 1-2 weeks usually

[@quidproquo9000]

pretty sure its a limited because it has the navi head unit

[@robkage]

Great Content. you didn't demo the CArplay and Android auto Wireless....

[@oifsurvivorscallofdutysess8983]

Did u replace the head unit in ur wrx too?

[@rez181987]

Does the idooing have wireless carplay?

[@WRXGarage]

Their new versions do!

[@rez181987]

@@WRXGarage which one is the new version?

[@PaulBaron-p7c]

Unfortunately, you don’t show the most important part which is the difficult removal of the lower bolts on the drivers and passenger side

[@joshgonzales9846]

Did the winner for the giveaway already get chosen?

[@Shaggii_]

Great video and overview of the product and install! What year/model was this Crosstrek? I have a 2016 Crosstrek and am looking to get Apple CarPlay with a new HU, but I’m not sure if this iDoing unit is compatible with the 2016 Crosstrek

[@jakepavlica3500]

Two years late… but from what I’ve seen, idoing makes a unit compatible with 2013-2017

[@jrodjeremyflanigan7935]

Need this for my wife’s Crosstrek. Stock radio sucks.

[@MikeFoster-qm8ks]

Zero feedback... From questions. Great

[@goosunsafetyfirearmtrainin9561]

Hay guys great vid please keep it up. I have 2020 wrx base. How do I exactly order the IDOING head unit for my car.? I have the kicker factory upgrade & JL 12 ALL IN ONE SUB. ALSO do you recommend using a component 6.5 in the doors instead of kicker coaxial?

[@WRXGarage]

You can order it via the link we posted under the video! I would see how you like the sound with your current speakers, and order new ones after the headunit.

[@danlapetina7362]

Warning to all 2021 Crosstrek owners considering the idoing radio. Subaru added a comm port to the back of the OEM radio that communicates with the starlink system. If you try to install the idoing radio without the appropriate connection back to the starlink, your vehicle will lose starlink functions including its vehicle theft system. Idoing will also deny the problem.

[@marcotulio55]

Looking forward for an upgrade like this, any recommendations about any other head unit brands? (2018 Forester XT with Harman)

[@marcotulio55]

@@cade.chretien tnks will look into that

[@yoom1857]

could of been helpful if u taught us how to take it out, bad videob

[@fordsixhoe1184]

If you have a full android radio, why use ANDRIOD auto... Makes no sense... You're missing the whole ANDRIOD HEAD UNIT experience....

[@XinuyashaX1]

Will this fit on a Subaru crosstrek 2017?
