Where can I find those metal brackets on the side as shown at 3:18 in the video?

Thomas Marshall says:

Thank's Provo. I appreciate the video. Question, will the factory head unit mounting brackets work for a Double Din install? I'd rather use those than ABS bracket's.

Justin Cordes says:

Excellent video truly AND I really wished you actually filmed when you reinstalled the main panel around the stereo. See how you actually popped it back in.

This is no good for a 2006 forester. The heater control is attached differently and won’t just pull out

Darren Cook Fishing says:

Very good video man, Sooo helpful. Took about an hour.

would you happen to know why my radio reception is very bad on my 08 sti? it came with an aftermarket radio, bad reception back then, upgraded to the android head unit, radio still sucks, read somewhere that subarus use a 12v for better radio reception, but not sure which wire that is. i plug in the regular anthenna connector then switch to the android anthenna connector, but same problem

Veteran Reefer says:

How about a GPS sensor? How do i route the cable?

Hello for Greece. I want to install a SPH-DA230DAB to my Subaru Forester 2004, which adapter I must use for wiring and for the steering wheel controls.
