Installing the 2018+ Multi Function Display (MFD) into a 2017- Subaru WRX! Much Sexier! :D (014)

[@nathanha5466]

Is there a direct link to the harness that I can have please?

[@richardloh8260]

Made some such spare adaptor cables with additional adaptor cables, h0017fj340, for non-subaru 3 party cam separately 12v powered front and/or side cameras in my Forester xt. PM if you need them since I was also had problem with either no response or way too expensive ones from all available contacts that I found. Cheers.

[@D3RPZILLA]

Ooo, nice! :D I wish I had at least a front cam on my Camaro, lol, I'm to scared to even pull into parking spots as the front lip sticks out so far and is pretty low, lol.

[@duuuuval2197]

Bought the same harness...can'g wait to come across 2018 part out for my MFD. Great vid....thank you

[@D3RPZILLA]

Awesome, good luck on grabbing one cheap! I felt like the $250 I paid (with the lid!) was a great deal and I got lucky! Lol.

[@duuuuval2197]

@@D3RPZILLA that is a smoking deal w/the lid...wholesale price is like $400 just for the MFD

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@duuuuval2197 yep!! That's why I jumped on them with a quickness.

[@BimmerWon]

Do you know how to remove this on the Subaru Crosstrek Limited 2021? I want a stealthy place for my EZ-Pass and I was thinking about mounting it under that.

[@D3RPZILLA]

Hmmm that would be a cool place to put it. Sorry on the question though, I can't say for sure as I hadn't messed with a Crosstrek at all. I'd think it would be a similar process but may need to check out a fb group for Crosstreks and see if you can find someone who may have messed with the mfd on them.

[@BimmerWon]

@@D3RPZILLA yeah probably

[@kleebaker08]

Does the 2018 display support the climate control output as well? I don't see him show it anywhere in his video.

[@D3RPZILLA]

For a WRX? The mfd for the WRX just shows like boost and clock and some other basic things, even the 2018-2021 mfds. The 2015-2015 mfd was just lower quality screen. I think the outbacks and Crosstreks have something similar that does have additional features that the WRX screen does not have.

[@SVXdc]

Yes the 2018 MFD does also display the HVAC info. You can see it beginning at 6:16 in this video -- 73°, AUTO, silhouette of a person and the vent(s) that are active, and fan speed bar graph). If your car has dual-zone HVAC, it will show both the driver's and passenger's temperature settings. Some of the MFD's screens may show more or less of that info due to limited space. Units (°F or C and miles/kilometers) are determined by the car, not the MFD itself, so it will display the appropriate units for your locale.

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@SVXdc O snaps.. you're right, lol. Wow.. it's been like 3 years since I made this video and pretty much forgot a lot of some of the specifics with this car as I sold it a little over 2 years ago :D Thanks for the catch and good eye!!

[@frosh_gamin]

do we know if we cam install this into a 2015 wrx not sure if there are differences from the 15 to the 2017 models ?

[@D3RPZILLA]

I believe this will work fine installing in a 2015 model BUT I believe you would need an extra harness to redirect the backup camera video to the headunit instead of the MFD.

[@groovyferny9061]

Can you remove the plastic from the interface ? Mine out of nowhere has smudges on it . Looks like from the inside . TIA

[@D3RPZILLA]

I believe it pops out but I'm not positive... it's been a while since I had it pulled apart (and no longer have the car).

[@jackysou9958]

My 2021 Sti multifunction display broke on me at 700 miles. I wonder if this is a common issue or if I just got a bad screen. Anyone else run into this issue?

[@D3RPZILLA]

I haven't heard of them breaking so it must be pretty rare especially that quickly! Maybe take a look and verify a wire didn't come loose or something.

[@paulhouseholder9360]

I just had mine flicker and go blank today on a 17 WRX with under 60k miles on it.

[@ryandawson5572]

If I purchased one of these displays from the U.S and plugged it into my vehicle here in Aus would it read in U.S readings instead of Aus ? Eg: MPH vs KMH

[@D3RPZILLA]

I'm not sure tbh... You would need to research and find out if the part numbers are the same beteen US and Aus/Euro or something.

[@SVXdc]

Units (°F or C and miles/kilometers) are determined by the car, not the MFD itself, so it will display the appropriate units for your locale.

[@davidhpranks3062]

Anyone know where I can buy it? With harness too

[@D3RPZILLA]

I bought my MFD used from someone but I list the part numbers in the video description as well: 2018+ MFD (just the screen): 85263VA020 2018+ MFD Lid (stitched): 66067VA020 The harness I purchased from Kevin Hulett from Facebook but I believe they can also be bought at ae64.com/InquiriesOrders.htm.

[@kainetheviking3811]

Would this work in a 2012 wrx?

[@D3RPZILLA]

Probably not.. I believe this is only a direct fit for the 2015+. There may be a prior gen version of some sort similar but I'm not sure :-/

[@NickBEADG]

Will something like this work for a base model 13 Impreza?

[@D3RPZILLA]

Sadly I am not sure... Have not seen the Impreza setup myself to be able to offer any advice on that. I'm sure NASIOC or some forum like that may have some details on this though!

[@jayjaymerging2659]

No need to disconnect battery ? I see air bag light there..just asking I wanna swap mine lol

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@jayjaymerging2659 no airbag up there but it's always good to disconnect battery before doing any electrical related work on car.

[@maciejcz250]

What headunit is it? Thanks

[@D3RPZILLA]

Heya! It's a Seicane headunit. Looking at my old order it shows as, "Seicane Android 8.0 9"Car Radio For Subaru WRX forester 2014 2015 2016 GPS 4GB RAM Audio Head Unit". Hope that helps!

[@meatballhead3290]

Perfect tutorial 👍👌👍

[@D3RPZILLA]

Thanks!

[@halaxzeus350]

Bro what head unit is that ? I wanna switch my 2019 on out

[@D3RPZILLA]

It's a seicane android auto radio. There are a few versions and they can be picked up on AliExpress, ebay, and a few other places.

Is the harness absolutely necessary for the 2018 mfd in a 2017 wrx premium? Before I look into this upgrade I want to know what is what

[@trigun989]

Yes, when he shows you the back of the 2 units you can see that its uses 2 different connectors.

[@im2tweaked]

@@trigun989 thanks

[@tlipsey77]

I have a 17' FXT with same screen as the WRX. Question though, when I put the eyesight on for adaptive cruise control it shows up on the MFD screen while it's running and then goes away when I exit cruise control. Does it do the same thing on the new MFD screen?

[@D3RPZILLA]

Sorry for late response... Not sure, I didn't have eyesight. Would need to check cabling and such to screen to see if any differences on connections between FXT and the MFD in the new WRX I'd think.

[@RebelWaz]

Does everything work the same with this new screen?

[@D3RPZILLA]

Yep! And everything looks better as well.

[@RebelWaz]

@@D3RPZILLA thanks

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@RebelWaz no problem!

[@warrenstroud7074]

If you have CVT do you have to get one just for CVT?

[@D3RPZILLA]

I don't think anything changes with the MFD between the CVT and 6MT cars.

[@joralex]

How did you connect your rear view camera to your aftermarket unit?

[@D3RPZILLA]

The Seicane Android headunit came with all the harnesses that I needed to hook it up including the one for the backup camera.

[@joralex]

@@D3RPZILLA Nice. I have the same unit, I need to figure out how to hook it up tho. Do you have any links or how to?

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@joralex you have the Seicane or a different brand Android head unit? How many harnesses did it come with and what year is your car? For me it was pretty much match the connectors from the car to the harnesses and then match harness connectors to the head unit. Sadly I installed my radio before I began filming installs 😩

[@jamiehorwath9276]

Will the 2017 hood fit with 2018 mfd?

[@D3RPZILLA]

I believe so.

[@CrMo4130]

Hey, my face and harness! Neato!

[@CrMo4130]

For your viewers clarification, those RCA video inputs are for optional front and side view cameras, NOT for the rear view camera! If you ever end up with a 2018 front bumper, you can add an OEM front camera to that harness!

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@CrMo4130 thank you! I actually noticed that after filming and added it into the video as pop up text (I think I did at least lol). Do you still make these harnesses? Hopefully you don't mind the shout out lol.

@@CrMo4130 what makes it not for the use of the rear cam? Very curious.

[@francislarouche6041]

Nice looking! Will it show oil temp on a 2015 STI which doesn't originally support it?

[@D3RPZILLA]

No, I don't think so.. I don't think there is an appropriate signal from an STi for it to read to display temps from.

[@francislarouche6041]

@@D3RPZILLA Not even with an additional sensor? 🤔

[@D3RPZILLA]

@@francislarouche6041 You mmaaayyy be able to splice it in somehow, I don't know exactly where it pulls the signal from for the oil temp into the MFD.. It wouldn't be direct plug and play though. Would def need to do some research on it, I can't find anyone having done it with a quick Google search though.
