I don’t have the HK set up but I have the factory kicker speakers and placing a kicker sub in it as well. My question is should I purchase the hk version for the upgraded speakers and amp or should I just get the regular one.

I have a 2017 with the iDoing unit that has knobs. Initial take is a MASSIVE improvement. After about 4months, the sound quality decreased - tweeters sounded a bit cackley - i dont blast my volume as i have tinnitus but i am fully aware of what equates to quality of sound. I was told the speakers likely went bad, so i purchased and replaced all 4 speakers and the 2 dash tweeters. The sound did not improve from that. Has anyone else had this experience with their unit/speakers after install?

I upgraded to a newer android headunit, unfortunately quite different to your setup. But if you use the oem camera it will probably look worse on the bigger screen.. at least my 2020 Impreza sport does. I'm debating if I want to go through the trouble of replacing the oem camera with something better. It looks like a standard size camera screwed in from the back, but I'd have to run wires to the back or cut something up to wire in an aftermarket camera in the oem location.
