Hi Mao,
How did your test of this on the weekend go?
I am keen to install in my 09 Rex.

I'm keen on this unit and was wondering if it is at all possible to fit on into a MY01 GD WRX, it looks like its the normal Double din size.

I would be willing to pay the extra amount for fitting/GPS antenna etc..

Hi Alpha, there is a normal double din sized unit with the same features, but this unit is made to fit the GR/GH and is not the double din size.

Hi Guys,

Fitted the Head unit today, including the rear view camera. Results were awesome. It is fully functional as an OEM unit and rearview cam kicks in once you go into reverse. Can also link up additional cams if needed.

Also, the unit has enough AV/Audio in/out inputs for other devices, including up to 3 amplifiers. Theatre-style noise control within the cabin is also built in. Ipod and USB connectivity is standard.

Soksta: I also managed to configure the steering wheel controls to effectively pick up and disconnect phone calls, through Subaru's Canbus system.

Will post up pics soon as I am just finishing up at the workshop and going out for some drinks.

Cheers.

Happy to hear the good news Mao and look forward to seeing some installation pictures of this setup.

Below is the comparison between the factory CD player and the new GPS head unit:


Below is a screenshot of the DVD player in action.


Bluetooth screen that can be password linked to your mobile phone.


Factory Steering wheel buttom on the MY09 WRX. Each of these buttons can be programmed individually to activate: Main screen, GPS screen, Phone answer on, Phone answer off, Mute(obviously), Vol+, Vol- and (CH+ and CH- if you have added the optional Digital TV antenna.)


I will be posting up more pics tomorrow.

I will put up a couple more shots of the installation and functions of this unit. Also note that this unit comes with a remote controller as well. Thanks to PK26 for the chance to install it into his WRX. Installation of this unit takes me 5mins now while you wait. If you require the rearview cam as well, installation time will be 1hr.

Visual Outlook of head unit and Main screenshot:



Ipod and USB connectivity. Note that every harness has its own part number as can be seen in the pic. These are factory part numbers which means that every individual part of this unit can be replaced, regardless whether it is in or out of the 1-year warranty period.


Microphone for Handsfree BT:


GPS Antenna installed (connector is gold-plated for good GPS signal reception), plus screenshots:



The color of the actual buttons can also be changed. There are 3 options for red, blue and violet.Below is the violet screen shot. Red and blue shots can be seen in the pics from other illustrations below:


Theatre style set-up:


PIP (Picture in Pucture):
I an choose to have 2 screens on at the same time. I can also use the touch screen to move the picture to any position on the screen. In this instance, I have GPS on while the DVD is playing. (Sorry for the bad pic).


Light + Contrast Screenshot:


Pics of Reverse camera installed.



I always follow the factory wiring route:


Screenshot:


The rear cam comes with 2 LED license plate lights. This can be coupled with the Polarg LED.

Hi Mao
I'm in Adelaide and would be interested in getting one of these for my 2010 WRX Hatch which has the factory navigation HU... my understanding is that the Navi unit has the older style 14-pin harness - do you know if there's a plug & play solution?
Also, are the bass/middle/treble bands assignable - or is there a separate parametric EQ somewhere in the menus?
Cheers, DV
