Is this the same with Subaru exiga 2011
Hey, what is the best way to tell which size will fit your car? I have a 2010 Impreza and this stereo is not available where I am. I am looking for alternatives but what is the best way to tell what will fit? Thanks.
Is there a link for the backup camera install? We bought our daughter a 2008 Impreza and I am going to install a radio and camera. Thanks
Is the aswc1 required if there's no controls for the radio for example if its just cruise control buttons
I can do all this but geeezus that's a lot of work, just make a harness for me and ill pay for it lol, I was hoping for a plug and play
Thanks so much for the help! Chris do you now if with the new Maestro port on the Alpine 407, does that allow you to forego the harness parts for steering wheel connectivity?
Where did you find the bracket for the double din deck? (Black plastic piece around the stereo)
Would I need to add the microphone? Or with that steering wheel kit would it hook up to the stock microphone in my 2011 Subaru Forrester
Do I need to buy a soldering iron? Or do yo think it would it work if I just used electrical tape to make all the connections? I’d love to know if you have any suggestions as for what I should do. I’d also just like to say, I really appreciate your video, your teaching style made this project a lot less intimidating- So thank you for that! I hope to talk soon
You didn't explain what you did with the parking break wire
Hello I was actually Js trying to install my head unit. I have all the things to have you've mentioned in your video but For some reason my metra harness does not fit with the cars steering wheel control… Not sure but its like 24-pin connector.. And I've been looking online on which harness do I actually need… And even metra access website said the metra 70-7552 and 71-1761.
Wow you did an amazing job! Looks great! I’m a total newbie to this – do you need to buy a particular size head unit to match the facia kit? I see your head unit is 6.5 inches but I’ve seen them come in 6.8 too – does this slight size difference matter? I’m so confused lol!
I don’t have a remote wire?????
are most units going to have the bluetooth for android auto or phone connectivity built into the unit or do i need a dongle and if so where or how do i mount a dongle or route it
Just installed my Sony xav-ax7000 into my 2013 sti using your direction with the aswc1 and it didn't work properly. The volume would increase on its own constantly. Had to disconnect the white/green. Also instead of grey/red to pin 4 it was green/orange and needed to connect black/green to pin 13. Now I have no issues.
Hello. I have some questions for you. Why do we need to connect a resistor when we install redio andrio for some cars? What is the purpose of connecting this resistor? In order for redio andrio to be able to control AC? Is it true? Please explain it and tell me the color of the string and the name of the string. Please show me on the next vedio. Thank you
Hi can you tell me if 2003to 2009 4 runner radio dash bezel trim will fit 2000 4 runner thanks
Hi I found two 7'' double din ,one is specifically for Toyota Camry {2007 -2011] has no name and the second one universal it is called YuanTing , which one do you think will fit 2000 4 Runner Ltd please thanks
WOW!!! WHAt an upgrade!!! The Alpine CDE-Series radio was a great radio for its time, but is now outdated in the age of touchscreens and smartphone integration.
