kattz Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Just picked up DeltaSniper's '12 GT Limited. REALLY nice car, but the ICE head and interface from the OEM is junk. And I mean that in the worst possible way. This is an OEM design/tech issue. I am spoiled because my '06 Forester X has an Alpine iLX-W650 in it and the experience is perfect. I am considering an idatalink interface and a new Alpine or Kenwood head unit. According to Crutchfield's web page, I will retain all OEM usage of external controls. I'm not so sure of that. This car will never see a CD, and I have no plans on updating the NAV because it is so ugly. I use Waze for navigation, and I listen to music exclusively through Pandora and Amazon. But, there is a clock on the dash that is accessed via the Nav head, and also has two non-working set buttons on the clock. This is the one in the center "eyebrow" on the dash just under the windshield. And the fuel info is there as well. Worried what functionality I will lose. I already did a search and I must be an idiot, becasue I found nothing on this that relates to my question. If anyone has any info, please share. Thx Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kattz Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Installing a Kenwood system. It will keep all of the in-vehicle systems. Already received the non-nav dash from a 2012 Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
