Installing a HUGE CarPlay Head Unit! (2017+ Subaru Impreza)

Idoing is in my opinion, probably the coolest aftermarket head unit manufacturers for a variety of different Subaru models! This 9.7 inch unit is a good bit larger than the factory unit, but despite the size difference, is a direct plug and play replacement. These units have a ton of usability and features including upgrading from wired to wireless CarPlay, Google Play and even KZbin. Definitely a must have mod in my opinion!

Thanks for this tutorial. Factory head unit just went out in my 17 Impreza limited and they want 1300$ parts/labor. This looks to be easy and a massive upgrade over factory and the exact item i need

[@PKCeltic21]

are you able to make a video how to remove the upper center console? it makes a cracky sound and not finding how to remove it to install cushions :(

[@cbijames7]

Nice job I will have to upgrade my system when it goes out.

[@kchutchins4372]

will this work for a subaru impreza 2022?

[@_-TempesT-_]

Do they have a unit for forester 2021?

[@CrimsoNaga]

Yes

[@FamilyTuned]

You may have mentioned it and I just missed it, but will this work for the 2021 impreza

[@samueln3630]

Thank you. Did your back up camera have the guide lines on the OEM head unit? Noticed they weren't there on the Idoing unit.

[@DitoCardona]

It did, I actually reached out to the seller and they walked me through the process to add those back. It’s basically just an option that you can turn on and off, I believe they come off by default. They are subtly different from the factory lines but it still has them

[@samueln3630]

@@DitoCardona They are different? That's interesting - always thought the guide lines were part of the camera software and so whatever unit you would get (since its a video feed from the camera), it would be the same. Are the Idoing camera guides accurate? Like does it turn when you turn the wheels?

[@MR.HANSON4344]

Where can i buy this unit

[@Volker109]

What did you do with the old screen did you sell it?

[@acq4750]

Hi good day… would this also fit subaru crosstrek 2023?

[@Username_CC_]

Does this thing still allow you to put on the radio?

[@joeymanning8038]

Where do u get a hood scoop for those cars I got the 19 too been trying to figure it out

[@DitoCardona]

CarID or eBay have it, it's the carbon creations hood

[@joeymanning8038]

Thank you

[@T3hn00bz0r]

Looks good. Does it affect the existing USB connections under the unit? To use wired Android Auto can you use the existing USB in the center console?

[@user-oh5gh2xw2z]

Can you please link engine cover 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jacobs1491]

Does this unit also bypass the Subaru DCM? (Ie disable starlink and their subscription based sos system) because those have been putting a vampire load on the battery since the 3g network they talk to is gone.

[@ZZPxFTW]

thats not the biggest OEM screen you can get in that car. The Sport and Limited came with 8" displays since 2017, and the Base and Premium have the 6.5" that you show. I want to do this upgrade myself for my 2018 Sport because it looks great, they matched the OEM font/look very well, and the adhesive under my screen is starting to melt down (?? thanks subaru) but the headunit doesn't have RCA or Optical/Toslink outputs for my DSP, which is almost essential. Right now I have to bluetooth my phone directly to my DSP, but that means I cant use the carplay functionality in the stock headunit while I drive, which sucks. Also its android based which resamples music bitrates. If this had a good DAC and RCA out, or just an optical/toslink out, it would be a no brainer.

[@user-uy9yy2ul2h]

You don't have starlink?

[@richardluongo5611]

Does it sound better and louder?

[@user-oh5gh2xw2z]

Link please 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@cjdan1538]

Will it fit in the right hand drive varient of this car?

[@edwinzerr4309]

Was it worth the upgrade? I’m trying about getting one for my 2019 forester

[@DitoCardona]

Easily! An extremely simple plug and play install for some really cool functionality
