How is this unit holding up? Maybe do a year review & thoughts on this head unit, good or bad things about it? Im contemplating this head unit or a Fosgate DSR1 on stock head unit.. Thanks.

[@Coleybears1]

INSTALL NOTE: IF you install this and you have a Panasonic Camera Controller mounted on top of your STARLINK module, you NEED TO REINSTALL THAT UNIT. Having an incomplete CAN system will result in many other failures such as no interior/exterior lights, won’t shift out of park, etc.! Beware! But after that, it’s all gooood. 😁

[@SamuelPabon-zm9jx]

Can you show us how the back up camera looks. How videos perform, music, steering controls, etc. more in depth on functionality. Please and thank you.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Good idea

[@brenna-morgan]

Great video, super informative!

[@morvinthomas4331]

Can it work in a 2017 Subaru Impreza looks just like your vehicle

[@reidtomasko3857]

yes

[@shanemoritz4607]

I plugged everything in best I can, and the headunit is just stuck at the home screen, it doesn't do anything. Like it's frozen

[@alfaidi6830]

Thanks for the amazing video. But now I have problem connecting my phone to the device. I am using USB with the carbitlink app that comes with the head unit. How do you connect it?

[@reidtomasko3857]

Hm so apple carplay is not working? I had that happen a few times, try restarting your phone and the head unit and try again

[@efan526]

Great install video! I was thinking of getting one of these myself. I have a very specific question. Does "KZbin Music" work on this headunit? I don't have Spotify.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes you can download any apps on the google app store

[@johnrobg]

Does anyone know if the OEM backup camera still works and if it comes on automatically when you shift into reverse?

[@briana.influentialworks5533]

It does work another video shows which plug ins are for which. The only issue I’m having is my steering wheel buttons not working. I’m hearing you have to push them in again or deeper.

[@johnrobg]

@@briana.influentialworks5533 oh weird, I thought you could easily reprogram the buttons?

[@madgodzilla12465]

​@@briana.influentialworks5533oh fuck that I use my steering wheel buttons all the time lmao

[@briana.influentialworks5533]

@madgodzilla12465 lol I figured it out. It's in the setting of the device and you have to program the buttons to the new system. It's easy when you know. I posted a short video on how to do it Because no one was answering the question and had me thinking I couldn't, and they started creating other potential problems that wasn't the problem

[@briana.influentialworks5533]

[@WhizBiz]

Thanks for this interesting video, quick question - why did you have to run the Apple Car Play cord outside of the unit beside the seat? Are you still able to connect to Apple Car Play via the usb ports under the climate knobs?

[@anthonymarte8776]

If this is like the other Idoing units no you cannot. You can do it wirelessly or with the cord you mentioned.

[@jc6596]

What if my impreza has the Rockford Fosgate upgraded stero speakers on not the harmon kordon would I order the with harmon or with out harmon don't make this easy I just assume lighting the car on fire so sick of it

[@rigdgaming]

How does this impact access to the Sirius XM radio? Sorry I tried to scan for previous comments on this topic before asking.

[@reidtomasko3857]

That I am not sure about!

[@voltaireuy4204]

Can a 360 camera system be installed with it?

[@alfaidi6830]

Hi Reid, I have another issue am facing now. My video on KZbin plays while screen is black. I downloaded the latest update and the issue wasn't resolved. Do you have any suggestion for me please? Thank you again.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Hey I would say that would be something to ask Idoing!

[@JackieJea]

Will this also work for 2021 crosstrek limited?

[@tesstra]

I followed all the OEM plugins like advised, got the touchscreen connected and working, but my rearview camera isn't showing up on the screen. I had to factory reset the whole thing because the touchscreen wasn't responding at all, so the only thing not working/responding is my camera. Any advice?

[@reidtomasko3857]

Hmmm I am not sure, my only idea would be to make sure it's the right input hole on the headunit

[@mrfsac]

I bought my 2018 Subaru Legacy in part because it has a CD player. Also the volume and tuning knobs. These units eliminate those features for what, a bigger screen. I believe the car shown already had Apple Car Play.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes this is mainly so you get a bigger screen and more digital features like apps etc

[@mrfsac]

@@reidtomasko3857 I should mention that you did a good job on your video. I just want to keep my CD player! I understand that most people do not use CD systems and use Spotify and other rental type music services.

[@ElectricShock14]

@@mrfsac Thank you and yes I fully get that 100%

[@rheisstephens4882]

Do you still have the OEM head unit? Does it have any issues? I'd possibly buy it off of you!

[@bigrob3250]

Great video…. Will this head unit fit a 2021 Subaru Forester?

[@reidtomasko3857]

I am not 100% sure! I would have to ask idoing

[@sayiwont6448]

I used your video to install in my 2020 Impreza. All works. I just can’t seem to get it to click in. The bottom isn’t going in the slots. How did you get it in?

[@reidtomasko3857]

You have to push pretty hard, make sure there are no wires in the way

[@sayiwont6448]

I figured it out, I hade the unit too far out so it was blocking it. Thanks tho

[@reidtomasko3857]

I see! NP @@sayiwont6448

[@jc6596]

Does the back up cam and all that still work and I have android auto cause I use android phones does that require anything more for installation? Good video

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes and android auto works too

[@anthonyrico9301]

Hi! Will this head unit also fit in the 2020 Crosstrek ? The interior of the 2020 Crosstrek looks identical. Thank you

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes I think

[@kf4736]

My starlink system stopped working don't know why because it's all hooked up

[@hongccc]

With this, do you lose the Dynamic Trajectory Guide Line when you reverse?

[@reidtomasko3857]

I think you can turn that on in settings still

[@shanemoritz4607]

Do you het Subaru remote start still?

[@shaughndemartino4651]

How do you secure the screen part. It doesn’t pop into anything it just sits in place doesn’t seem secure

[@germansalas2295]

I want to know if this will work with the 2017 umpreza

[@reidtomasko3857]

I think it's only 2018-2021

[@subieguy]

Yes it should fit the 2017. They are the same design as the 2018-2021

[@jc6596]

Would I need adapter for the Rockford Fosgate upgraded system or just the harmon kordon system I have the harmon kordon head unit but Rockford Fosgate speakers and amplifier under passenger seat?? Any help I would be so greatful about to pull my hair out lol😂

[@jhingviray808]

I just got my idoing headunit. Question: is there any way to remove the red car on wallpaper or background? Please help

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes you can edit the wallpaper's and add custom ones

[@mattbessicks7700]

How long did it take to get yours? I just orderd mine from ebay.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Not long at all, they ship DHL and it only takes a week ish

[@kdeemilllington8816]

My Apple CarPlay doesn’t seem to be working any ideas

[@reidtomasko3857]

Restart the head unit and then plug in again

[@edwinteo3537]

Does anyone have GPS issue using this head unit?

[@charleserodgers]

Did it come with any specs? I am trying to have an entirely new system from front to back installed but I can't sind any specs anywhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[@reidtomasko3857]

They should all be on the selling page

[@kingnba6]

Stock rear view camera works? Steering wheel controls?

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes

[@daynerhoades]

One thing I would really like to know is how long does it take for this head unit to boot up when you turn the car on. Is it a matter of a second or 2 or are we talking like 30 seconds to 60 seconds or even more? I am ignorant and don't know how these android based head units work. Thanks in advance!

[@reidtomasko3857]

Instant to 3 sec

[@daynerhoades]

@@reidtomasko3857 thanks man. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all my questions! I ordered one.

[@reidtomasko3857]

Of course, no worries! @@daynerhoades

[@johnriii44]

Any idea if this will work with the Harmon system?

[@reidtomasko3857]

It does but you need to get an adapter from idoing

[@mattbessicks7700]

How do make the screen brighter

[@reidtomasko3857]

In settings, display

[@cleoninsang7006]

Does this work for the RHD version as well?

[@thatonetime2495]

I installed everything but it seems my touch screen part isn’t working for the idoing unit, do you know which cable that would be?

[@nishantmalik20]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a 2019 Impreza and my android auto/carplay automatically disconnects after sometime. I have to replug my device to get it back, but it disconnects after a short while. Tried every possible solution found on the internet as very limited resources available for impreza. Do you also experience similar problem or I'm the only one here.

[@daynerhoades]

This happens to me all the time. I hate this. This is why I am looking for a wireless android auto head unit to avoid plugging in anything.

[@nishantmalik20]

@@daynerhoades or instead of changing the whole unit, why not just plug in the wireless android auto/carplay adaptor? Something like Ottocast?? 🤔🤔

[@daynerhoades]

@@nishantmalik20 I have done this as well but it also has lots of disconnect problems. Not sure if my issues are due to some faulty USB cabling in the vehicle or the head unit itself.

[@nishantmalik20]

@@daynerhoades have you tried going into the 'Dealer's Options' and checking there if your connections are 'Ok' or 'NG' means Not Good. If you not already know, you can get into the options by holding down the home button and pressing tune/scorll knob 6 times.

[@nishantmalik20]

@@daynerhoades so have you tried diagnosing the USB outlets? If you go into Dealer's Options (by holding home button and pressing tune/scroll knob 6 times) and go to connections you will find your usb ports displayed as Ok or NG (Not Good). By default it'll say NG, just try plugging in a usb and see if it changes to OK, if not then you have a faulty usb port that you need to change.

Hey there. Does this unit have wireless Android Auto?

[@reidtomasko3857]

Yes it does and apple car play

[@valdeera]

@Reid Tomasko That's great. I have another specific question. Does this head unit still talk to the small display above it? The MFD? I'm asking because in my vehicle, for some reason, I can't access the settings by pressing and holding the INFO button. When I connect to the car with my phone through the Android Auto, and when I have the setting on my radio set to update the time automatically, then that little display (the MFD) gets updated with the correct time and date. I wonder if this idoing head unit still provides the information to the MFD. I'm afraid that if it does not, I will be stuck with the wrong time and date since I can't access the settings in the MFD. Thanks.

[@reidtomasko3857]

@@valdeera I am not 100% sure! I will have to ask Idoing themselves

[@valdeera]

Hi. I think it would be an easy test on your side. If you start your car, play anything from the radio, then scroll through the screens on the MFD (small display on top of the dash) using INFO button. If one of the screens pops out says audio and it shows current audio input and what song is playing, then yes they still talk to eachither. If you go through all the available screens and you dont see it, then its a NO. Let me know if that is something you could test 😉 thank you
