FLlegacy Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Other than a 7" screen most double din units will work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I need to buy special parts to mount it so that it fits? Thank you, Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, RonaldYes Metra sells an install kit, and you will need an adapter for the wiring harness and a module for the steering wheel controls. If you check with crutchfield.com you can buy everything at once. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferdude1087 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 teering wheel controls work flawlessly including a usable speaker button The android auto/car play plugs into the factory multimedia hub in the console Backup camera tied right in (some might need a step down converter for 6V) The upper clock is no longer controlled by the nav, just push the buttons to set the time The kit pieces i used are as follows: Metra 95-8910s - double din for Subaru with factory navigation (there is one for factory non nav) 70-7553 - harness for use with the H/K system 40-SB10-18 - antenna replacement Idatalink maestro HRN-RR-SU1 - retain steering controls and functionality 1 12 -6V step down camera converter 1 - auxiliary satellite radio receiver (if you choose to keep it) Your choice of head unit: i picked the Kenwood DDX6706S...its not even on their website yet (its under 7 inches, but you can get an Excelon which is 7") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soares Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Check out http://www.crutchfield.com and speak to a car audio professional. They have wiring harnesses that will retain the steering wheel controls for the radio. Also, not sure if you are a DIY'er or not, but they provide instructions step by step with pictures.
