MAKING MY RADIO NOT SUCK! (JDM DOUBLE DIN LEGACY INSTALL)

I don't understand why Subaru didn't make these cars without a better head unit option. Oh well! I want to make this car as JDM style as possible and this small interior detail I think is something vital to doing so. I heard about this mod a while ago but was scared off by all the wiring. However as you see in this video it actually wasn't that bad at all! With the help of Cody we got everything in and looking great, while filming, in about an hour and a half. If we were filming we could of done the whole process in 30 mins! Below linked is everything you will need to do this yourself! Hope you enjoyed!

I wish there was a brand called Dimmadome. So we can buy Dimmadome Double Din radios made by Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

[@Connor-bq2xo]

Haven't watched it all yet obviously, but if the whole video is about installing a double din, 25 minutes might be a bit long... Also, depending how worn down your tires are you'll want to replace all 4. Running different size tires on an AWD car can really fuck things up.

[@KrispyMedia]

same size tires btw not sure if I said that or not also yea its a little long but just an experiment to see how we should structure future videos =) This one was more of a how to video for people wanting to do the same more than a install video. The install videos of parts to come and what not will for sure be shorter

[@Connor-bq2xo]

Krispy Media I figured they were the same size but by different sized tires I meant the difference between the two worn out tires and the two good tires. If there's a difference greater than 3/32nd of an inch it can really stress out the drivetrain on an AWD car. No worries about the long video man, I'm sure some people will want to watch a how-to in depth 👍

[@Connor-bq2xo]

*Found this online, they explained it much better than I could* Subarus: Subarus have, to our knowledge, the tightest tolerance of any AWD system. Since we see so many, we can tell you what the tolerance is. It can be stated in two ways: The first is 2/32nds tread depth across all four tires. The problem with this is that actual tire dimensions can vary from brand to brand and even from model to model. Therefore the 2/32nds rule is only good if you have the exact same size, brand, and model tire. The other way to check is to measure the tire around the circumference and then the tolerance is 1/4". That was circumference, not diameter, so you have to have a flexible tape ruler and measure around the tread of the tire. Also, having air in the tire affects the circumference. Though the change due to having air in it is only about 1/8", it's pretty critical since the tolerance is only 1/4". Therefore, to get an accurate measurement, it's necessary to let the air out before you measure (since the prospective replacement probably won't be aired up). This second method allows you to check compatibility with any make or model of tire. When we were almost finished with this article, a Subaru came in that needed only one tire, so the picture shows us measuring the prospective replacement tire with our "Subaru Tool". You may ask what the big deal is? Well, on the Subarus, if all four tires aren't matched within 1/4" around the circumference, you will break the transmission, not maybe or sometimes - it definitely happens. Granted it won't happen overnight, and the AWD on many Subarus can be disabled, but the transmissions can definitely get ruined and then they have to be repaired or replaced. Then the cost will be a lot more than the cost of tires!

[@KrispyMedia]

+Connor oh word I appreciate all that info! I got the front tires about a month ago and the rears went bad because my alignment was so terrible haha I'll have 4 new tires in about a month :) I appreciate you looking out for me :)

[@Connor-bq2xo]

Krispy Media 👍👍

[@The4BoredDudes]

thank you so much krispy for this video, I have a 06 outback and have been trying to find a solution to the same issue of not having an aux cord. Finally have a clear install video for how to do this modification cannot thank you enough

[@NWLAutowerks]

It's not a true JDM install if you don't find ramen in the dash. Unsubscribed.

[@civic9306]

You guys are funny as hell, great vid and clearly having friends that know electronics pays for itself!

[@TTimpreza]

Just a small Observation and info the Gap around the radio is because USDM Double dins are smaller than the Asian Market Double dins, I ordered a asian Market Android radio and had to do some slight trimming on my 2003 Outback Limited 5 Spd Wagon.

[@Chase_Schrader]

This is my next mod on my STi, Subarus tend to have pretty bad decks stock...

[@Toua-Moua]

Love that you are making these videos! Can't wait to see what you do. Also just a little note, AWD systems like subarus typically don't like miss matched tires. When 1 tires goes bad we typically replace all with matching tires. It messes up our center diffs.

[@steveshaw7196]

Thank you Kris for posting this, I have on 05 leggy and was told there is no hope for a new unit other than factory....

[@x11xphantomx11x]

Yo this was the best install vid ive seen in a long while. Keep it up brotha, cant wait for the next one 😎

[@SVXdc]

Thanks for posting the vid, Krispy. It was about time someone made one for this type of install. Here are some helpful links: [click the "Read more" link, below] This page explains which models/years need the JDM dual-DIN HVAC panel kit, and describes the items that you may want, plus has useful tips: ae64.com/aftermarket-HU-install-parts-LO2005AN.htm Wiring instructions are in this post (on the LegacyGT forums): legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2570925&postcount=637 This post further explains which cars need which JDM HVAC panel kit: legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5684242&postcount=3057 Cars with manual A/C controls (the 3 larger round knobs, no digital temperature setting) do not need the i88 harness. You only need one of the less-expensive dash kits that have a single- or double-DIN opening and the same round holes to keep using your car's existing A/C controls: Scosche SU2025B, Metra 95-8901, or Metra 99-8901. Sorry, those are designed only for LHD cars.

I've been subscribed to this channel for only a little bit, I love the cinematography of the car meet videos, and I really like this tutorial video style. i work on automotive projects from time to time, and its refreshing to see others recording the experience. keep it up Krispy! (oh and are you considering coming to Detroit for the dream cruise?)

[@veijalainenmika]

Hey you could've bought the silver/grey coloured 2DIN cover and AC unit. They're just different part numbers. The black one is for S402 and the Tuned by STi black interior and other ones are grey. I have a JDM GT spec B and a JDM STi with both colours :) But the black center console (and interior with black headlining) is way cooler! But cool vid - thanks!

[@lennyvalentinoSchiaretti_lvs]

Great video thanks! I am thinking probably to do the same work on my Outback 2008, I have just a couple of questions/doubts. 1) Do you know if it is possible to have on the display the temperature in celsius and not only in Fahrenheit? 2) Is there a reason why you didn't put the touch on the standard spot for the navi, where you have the little glove box on top? Mine as well as the glove box there and I am wondering which could be the best solution. 3) I saw you installed it in 2017. After 2 years would you buy the same Sony Unit or not? The problem with the switch controller probably could be a reason to look for some alternative units? Thanks a lot!

[@drabhand]

Yes

[@CrabRangoon245]

Does putting bags on your car negatively affect ride quality? like will it make harder for you to do rolling shots of other cars now? or is it like negligible

[@KrispyMedia]

actually my hypothesis is that it will actually make the rider and shots smoother. I have it planed once their on to do a video where I show rollers using my bagged car vs before it was bagged so we will see!

[@CrabRangoon245]

Krispy Media awesome!

[@TheLololol96]

Putting bags on a car does not negatively impact ride quality if you install an Airlift or Accuair kit that is designed to bolt onto your specified vehicle as the dampening rates are adjusted for that particular vehicle. Bag over coils setups with UAS bags and similar don't offer a comfortable ride as the dampening / sometimes cut struts will cause the bag to rub. Some bag over coilover setups like Airforce actually have a 36 level dampening system to negate bad ride quality when on bags. But a kit is much more desirable and will cause less headaches tbh.

[@danielabel3826]

will this same head unit/set up if in my 2005 impreza?

[@KiwiGraggle]

Hi, and well done on finding how this is done. I have just got my Twinscroll estate which I love, excellent condition, everything fine, but the audio and sat nav. What you are doing here, do you know whether there are differences in the Japanese import I have here in the UK to your version?. I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I keep getting conflicting views on it, all from audio specialists, at extortionate prices. That is why they probably conflict, because they want me to be a mug and spend £1500 or something. Please advise, because I use the car for the dog, I do not need to spent £1,500 on a sat nav when I will only use it for about 50 miles per week. But the current audio is in Japanese, and yes the CD works, but only 1 UK radio channel. Thanks and any advice would be nice, because I need a quality fit for what is a great and quality vehicle, but not at, taking the piss prices.

[@terrencegray3216]
