I've had this mod for a year now, still one of the best interior mod you can do, and if you have a 2020 WRX/STi doing this mod allows you to wirelessly connect your CarPlay a MUST.
My parents bought an OG first day Subaru Legacy. Ever since then I've been a fan. In Connecticut it seems every other person has a Subaru. They're sure-footed and comfortable.
I'm going to purchase this head unit this year. Boost and Shutter really does a great job of explaining things in his STI videos. Those plastic pry tools came in handy I bet. A great video brother. Subies forever.
I’d say get te’s and go back to the same wheel set up as the wrx. That wheel set up was just perfect for the car and since they look very similar it should also look good on the sti
My 2019 STI has the same exact touch screen/ Apple car play issues with the stock head unit. I figured out it has to do with the frequencies your cellphone emits while being too close to the head unit. I bought the same exact AC vent phone mount from that brand and had to stop using it. Head unit and steering wheel volume controls never had anymore issues when I stopped mounting my phone there.
Yo for sure keep the bags and go a silver wheel with a chrome lip. I feel white with the white brakes and front brace will be too much. Keep them more as a accent/feature
Best interior upgrade. I got the Daisata headunit which looks identical to the Idoing. I still have no idea how subaru even installed the stock radio. It is so cramped you have literally no room to even squeeze your hand in.
Also all those up and down sliders are your equalizer, you have to really set that up to take advantage of the upgrade. It's set to dead even flat out of the box. Look up a video how to set up an eq.
The head unit is nice! It’s good seeing you do interior mods too! Also! I love bags, but coilovers are DEFINITELY better choice! Plus less problems like popped bags, airlines etc.
Watching u made me feel like a pro I installed the idoing in my wrx and I didn’t remove as much but I did cut my thumb so crazy smh blood everywhere 🤦🏽♂️ but it works so 🤷🏽♂️
I have the idoing in my STI as well, much improved sound for sure. And yes as I commented before the silver mag blue combo was my favorite. The car just looked so mean. Maybe a TE or CE setup with a 255/265 for sure. What was the tire size with the mag blue grams?
You need a steering wheel control module and to wire it in to the car and to the aftermarket head unit in order to magically keep steering wheel controls .
Thanks for the video, the head unit looks sharp. Any idea if it can connect to more than one Bluetooth devices at a time (ie, your phone and another accessory)? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
Brroooo!!! Nice Head unit!!! I need one too! The STI is REALLY looking 🔥 as expected. And the Bags should stay, but maybe get those WHITE wheels you had on the BRZ BEFORE you put the Kit/Wrap on it before Sema. You remember those wheels???🤔.... yeah, those would look Tight!!!💯💪
Dang the way you have to take that out wild. In my 8th gen civic I just pop out the center and that’s it 😂. I think any upgraded head unit makes stock speakers a bit better cause mine sounded good, but then still had aftermarket speakers that I replaced all with as well while I did the head unit ahah. I think if you plan to add power pods or upgraded turbo to the STI, then bigger wheel and coils, but since you live in Cali and this like the 3rd time being state ref’d I’d say stay in bags and keep as is lol. Keep the frs as a track stance and add more power to it 😅
Yoooo I thought it was just me with the buttons not randomly working! This is the next mod for sure. I even have the Harmon Kardon system in mine and it alright. Not as good as the one in my GF’s crosstrek who also has the Harmon Kardon. Also I’m all for the coils and meaty tire set up! That’s just me though
Hey Chris, sorry to bring up an old video comment. But do the idoing headunit work with a forester/wrx with the Harmon kardon speakers? Heard some headunit needed to be specific if you have that option?
You'll want to use the GPS antenna and external mic for sure. The GPS because you don't need to use your phone that's the point of an android over a regular car play and the mic for calls. Without it you will sound horrible to the other person. The whole point of these head units is you can do anything on them you can do on a android phone or tablet. That's why the internet is helpful too. Honestly you don't ever need to use your phone other than for calls or text.
Hey I was wondering if your unit have problems with Bluetooth having to reconnect to your phone every time you get back into the car? I would have to reset my Bluetooth and then it’ll reconnect to my phone.
do i have to buy an extra cable so the armrest usb slots still work? im hearing mixed things, and also wondering about using the factory mic instead of installing the one it comes with
I purchased a head unit and my car has the star link navigation box. I bought the base unit without the Harmon Kardon since I saw no badges on my car. The navigation unit does not fit on the bottom of my IDoing unit. Does this mean I got the wrong unit ?
I've had this mod for a year now, still one of the best interior mod you can do, and if you have a 2020 WRX/STi doing this mod allows you to wirelessly connect your CarPlay a MUST.
That headunit looks clean in the car and the carbon goes really well! Love the weekend uploads Chris! Awesome video as always! :D
Much love bro! More to come. 🤝
The kicker speaker upgrade and head unit change was the best thing I ever did in my Subaru
I have the kicker set. Which model Idoing headunit did you buy? The HK model or the base model.
Stay on bags and get the sliver TE37
👀🔥
Why recreate something that’s already been done, he’s already had. I’m a true believer of trying something different. Love the STi Chris🫶🏽
Basic ah wheels

Definitely a huge help with his install video!
I’d say get te’s and go back to the same wheel set up as the wrx. That wheel set up was just perfect for the car and since they look very similar it should also look good on the sti
Oooo can’t go wrong with TEs!
Such a clean interior upgrade! I've always thought the subaru's head unit just isn't as fast or technically good as other car companies
💯💪🏼
My 2019 STI has the same exact touch screen/ Apple car play issues with the stock head unit. I figured out it has to do with the frequencies your cellphone emits while being too close to the head unit.
I bought the same exact AC vent phone mount from that brand and had to stop using it. Head unit and steering wheel volume controls never had anymore issues when I stopped mounting my phone there.
Interesting!! My volume controls don’t work either!
I installed mine a month ago. So far so good and looks way better.
Yo for sure keep the bags and go a silver wheel with a chrome lip. I feel white with the white brakes and front brace will be too much. Keep them more as a accent/feature
The screen is a must in the sti
Yessirr looks way better too!
That silver color and wheel setup was dope. Oh yeahhhh.
I work at Subaru in service, usually when it comes to your radio glitching or what you were saying. Your radio just needs an update for the most part.
How do you update it?
@chris_borges it'll be at the dealership, there is a USB that the dealership has and only they can update base on the USB.
the new head unit looks so much better bro, good job with the install! I also think coilovers with big tires would look unbeatable 🔥👀
Think that’s the move. 👀🔥
I literally dropped the same bolt 💀,TE’s 👀🔥🔥
Best interior upgrade. I got the Daisata headunit which looks identical to the Idoing.
I still have no idea how subaru even installed the stock radio. It is so cramped you have literally no room to even squeeze your hand in.
Track stance is majestic
Old setup did look fire 🔥
Some buckets seats and a cage would go hard to upgrade the interior more
And for the sti i reckon go for a track stance set up cuz u already got 2 stanced brzs
Clean head unit man honestly I do miss the old coilover setup but stay on bags, both setups are clean either way!!!
hard choice! 😅
Track stance meaty setup❤️
👀🔥
Radio looks good.
Also all those up and down sliders are your equalizer, you have to really set that up to take advantage of the upgrade. It's set to dead even flat out of the box. Look up a video how to set up an eq.
Coils and track stance with the big tire is definitely the way to go. You'll worry WAY less....
The head unit is nice! It’s good seeing you do interior mods too! Also! I love bags, but coilovers are DEFINITELY better choice! Plus less problems like popped bags, airlines etc.
I think just a less aggressive wheel, new head unit is sick though!
thanks bro!
@@chris_borges Of course bro!🤟🏼
You should change your profile bro with that new rap on your ride. 😎👍
Got my subie with this head unit and when I found out I could watch TH-cam I instantly watched ya vids on it 😂. Keep up the good work brotha
Ayyy that’s so dope! 🤝
i’d prefer back to static, with the beefy 245/35 tires again, maybe toyo r888r’s that stance was soo nicee😫 but bags is fire as well🫶🏼
Coil or bag, but WHITE TE37😂😂 loll. Whatever ur feeling like it and go for it! Love ur video!!
Hahaha yesss white wheels > 😂😂
Watching u made me feel like a pro I installed the idoing in my wrx and I didn’t remove as much but I did cut my thumb so crazy smh blood everywhere 🤦🏽♂️ but it works so 🤷🏽♂️
I need this asap for my subie.
Thanks for the review.
Can’t wait for the kicker upgrade as well.
u gotta get some work t7rs in white like on the brz before, the concavity should give enough space for the brembos and looks hot af too
Stay with bags and different color. 💪🏻🙌🏻
Kicker set up will sound good bro😊
Dope vid! Honestly, I'm waiting on the frs transformation
great head unit I have one in my frs and I love it
I thought the mic was for answering phone calls when connected through car play?
I think the old setup was looking sick 😍 maybe you should do like a negative 4 ?
Bro you have to adjust the equalizer settings and the sound will be 10x better trust. If you want i can send you my settings
Track stance with a polished te37 🔥
I like the current set up but I think it would look dope on coil overs again and maybe a different wheel and tire set up like ne 24 or advan gt
I think both setups are clean anyways that carbon fiber thou❤❤❤❤
I have the idoing in my STI as well, much improved sound for sure. And yes as I commented before the silver mag blue combo was my favorite. The car just looked so mean. Maybe a TE or CE setup with a 255/265 for sure. What was the tire size with the mag blue grams?
245/35! Thinking of 255 this time. 🤝
Chris can u please make another 10 minute build video for the new sti?
I look forward to every CB video
🤝❤️
Did the hands free controls on the steering wheel work with the new joying unit? Thabks for the video!
Mine did not unfortunately. Not sure if there’s a fix. If you find one let me know!
You need a steering wheel control module and to wire it in to the car and to the aftermarket head unit in order to magically keep steering wheel controls .
Can’t wait for the frs new build 🤤
got a lot to talk about in a future video!
How's the compatability with the original backup camera?
The bags fit the style of the car bro, just run a different set of wheels. Maybe some triple chrome 57dr? 👀
Sheeeshh 🔥
Thanks for the video, the head unit looks sharp. Any idea if it can connect to more than one Bluetooth devices at a time (ie, your phone and another accessory)? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
TRACK STANCEEEEEE>>
Alot of work but looks hella nice. Work hard play hard!
Keep the bags, different wheels👍🏽
what wheels should I get 👀
The TEs were fireee when you put them on in that one vid
Brroooo!!! Nice Head unit!!! I need one too! The STI is REALLY looking 🔥 as expected. And the Bags should stay, but maybe get those WHITE wheels you had on the BRZ BEFORE you put the Kit/Wrap on it before Sema. You remember those wheels???🤔.... yeah, those would look Tight!!!💯💪
sheeesh the white on red would be too fire!!
Back to static w meaty fitment >>>
so tempted 😅

No lie, stoked to see some 2xl gear ❤❤ ❤
Got you bro!
Always nice watching your vids! Keep up the grind🙌🏻
Watched this video on my Idoing Headunit in my STI lol 😂
Helped out big time 😂
When is the QnA bro? Good video btw ❤
In the process of filming it!
yes chris sti is way better static with meaty setup how mine is like how urs was before idk jus prefer that look on sti
waiting for the frs!!!!! give us some info about it!
Do you send your merch to New Zealand Chris?
Yoooo I thought it was just me with the buttons not randomly working! This is the next mod for sure. I even have the Harmon Kardon system in mine and it alright. Not as good as the one in my GF’s crosstrek who also has the Harmon Kardon.
Also I’m all for the coils and meaty tire set up! That’s just me though
Just might go back to track stance 👀
@@chris_borgesDO IT 👀
Stay on bags and get either the TE’s🥶 the Work Emotion ZR10 or the Enkei RS05RR🔥
Bags nd different wheels 🔥👊🏼
Hey Chris, sorry to bring up an old video comment. But do the idoing headunit work with a forester/wrx with the Harmon kardon speakers? Heard some headunit needed to be specific if you have that option?
I vote for coilovers with different wheels and bigger tires.
🤝👀
Hey! I noticed in the video that you have the aluminum shift knob. I was considering getting it, do you recommend it?
Stay on bags but get a different wheel setup that will clear the front brakes without having to run too much camber.
Hello Chris. Nice viid. Are you interested in installing and reviewing our latest Tesla style head unit developed for the WRX 2015-2021？thx
You'll want to use the GPS antenna and external mic for sure. The GPS because you don't need to use your phone that's the point of an android over a regular car play and the mic for calls.

I think you should stay stanced, the stance look is always 🔥
just copped the yellow cruise tee! im in chula vista, drop off as soon as possible i need it 😭
got you bro! appreciate you!
My screen is having the same issues. Trying to buy this but the code doesn’t seem to work for the same unit.
Im not in to the stance style setup so my opinion is biased so for me the og set up was perfection :)
Keep the car bags🤩
Hey I was wondering if your unit have problems with Bluetooth having to reconnect to your phone every time you get back into the car? I would have to reset my Bluetooth and then it’ll reconnect to my phone.
Track stance just not with a too beefy of a tire and white TE37’s like a 235x40
yess new video!!
Got you 🤝
I say keep the bags, just sell the current wheels and run a wheel that doesn't force you to run so much camber 😉
FYI when driving and playing TH-cam the video goes black when driving close it and reopen it and you’ll be able to watch vids while driving
vote to leave it on bags :) shouts from pgh pa
Coilovers and trackstance✅
😬😬😬
love videos like these 🤝
means a lot dude!
W vid bro ❤
Did you ever added the kicker speakers?
Keep baggs broo ❤❤
Where does the canbus go exactly?
You should do this to the frs. Makea video so I can follow along in my frs lol
Been thinking about it! That car needs car play.
@@chris_borges do it, make step by step video, I have the idoing headunit for my frs, just waiting for your vid to show me how to install👀
Keep the bags for sure and change the wheels
Yo the head unit looks clean as hell. But white rims would look sikk, but having to maintain them gonna be a pain. But the sti looking good
True but with ceramic coat it’ll be easy to clean. 🥶
Hey man, how's the head unit held up over time?
Great so far!
do i have to buy an extra cable so the armrest usb slots still work? im hearing mixed things, and also wondering about using the factory mic instead of installing the one it comes with
Interesting cause my armrest USB slots don’t work. Might be because of this! I just never knew.
I purchased a head unit and my car has the star link navigation box. I bought the base unit without the Harmon Kardon since I saw no badges on my car. The navigation unit does not fit on the bottom of my IDoing unit. Does this mean I got the wrong unit ?
Track stance🤤
Ice cream so good
This was my favorite thing I did in my evo, made a good difference in sound too but like Subarus speakers, Mitsubishis are terrible from the factory
Speaker upgrades are always amazing. 🔥
Not if you got the Harmon Kardon baby 😎
So can it play netflix and other streaming tv apps?
