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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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’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
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.
That's called bass roll off. Factory head units are designed to do this in order to protect the speakers . So you don't blow the speakers with 1 tecknine song . Aftermarket decks don't have bass roll off .
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 .
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
Yo Chris i just tried ordering the Idoing headunit for my sti and ur code doesnt work for the idoing head unit? Very strange since youre showing off their product
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.
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 🤷🏽♂️
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.
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 😅
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!!!💯💪
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. 🤝

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
What's mounted underneath the temp controls towards the left @ 4:29?
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.
How's the compatability with the original backup camera?
My screen is having the same issues. Trying to buy this but the code doesn’t seem to work for the same unit.
I literally dropped the same bolt 💀,TE’s 👀🔥🔥
I thought the mic was for answering phone calls when connected through car play?
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!
Where does the canbus go exactly?
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
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.
Definitely a huge help with his install video!
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
💯💪🏼
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.
So can it play netflix and other streaming tv apps?

do the steering wheel volume controls still work with new unit?
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.
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.

245/35! Thinking of 255 this time. 🤝
What kind of camera do you use?
canon eos m50
can you mirror or airplay from your iPhone?

Oooo can’t go wrong with TEs!
Did you ever added the kicker speakers?
What happened to the 4Runner
Clean head unit man honestly I do miss the old coilover setup but stay on bags, both setups are clean either way!!!
hard choice! 😅
Coil or bag, but WHITE TE37😂😂 loll. Whatever ur feeling like it and go for it! Love ur video!!
Hahaha yesss white wheels > 😂😂
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.
Do the buttons on the steering wheel still work with a different head unit?
Yes if you get a steering wheel control module and wire it in .
Did sound volume get lower when the bass hits? My stock head unit would lower the volume when the bass hits
My stock unit would do that
That's called bass roll off. Factory head units are designed to do this in order to protect the speakers . So you don't blow the speakers with 1 tecknine song . Aftermarket decks don't have bass roll off .
@@wavesniper there is no way to turn that feature off?
Very nice wrap, looks like red chrome from some angles. 😊😊😊
My idoing on my 2013 sti bugs alot to and sometimes auto resets
i got a question do rock chips bug you and do you have any on any of ya cars
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. 👀🔥
Do you send your merch to New Zealand Chris?
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 .
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.
Track stance meaty setup❤️
👀🔥
Always nice watching your vids! Keep up the grind🙌🏻
Hey! I noticed in the video that you have the aluminum shift knob. I was considering getting it, do you recommend it?
That silver color and wheel setup was dope. Oh yeahhhh.
I installed mine a month ago. So far so good and looks way better.
Track stance is majestic
Old setup did look fire 🔥
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
bro does anyone know any good equalizer settings for this head unit ? I just recently got it as well but don't know what to mess with in the settings
Yo Chris i just tried ordering the Idoing headunit for my sti and ur code doesnt work for the idoing head unit? Very strange since youre showing off their product
Contacted them right now to see what’s up. Sorry about this.
Chris can u please make another 10 minute build video for the new sti?
What’s holding the airlift remote?
scosche phone mount!
@@chris_borges thanks!
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🫶🏼
Hey man, how's the head unit held up over time?
Great so far!
You should change your profile bro with that new rap on your ride. 😎👍
I think just a less aggressive wheel, new head unit is sick though!
thanks bro!
@@chris_borges Of course bro!🤟🏼
Hello Chris. Nice viid. Are you interested in installing and reviewing our latest Tesla style head unit developed for the WRX 2015-2021？thx
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 screen is a must in the sti
Yessirr looks way better too!
I need this asap for my subie.
Thanks for the review.
Can’t wait for the kicker upgrade as well.
Dope vid! Honestly, I'm waiting on the frs transformation
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
Will you ever start adding more hp or do you just prefer looks?
He had more hp and then got state reffed.
Cops are hot in my area now
Radio looks good.
pls restock the low car high risk tee's in medium and larges :(
Coming soon actually!
are you gonna do windshield banners again bro?
Kicker set up will sound good bro😊
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 🤷🏽♂️

Anyone know any good Subaru tuners near Los Angeles?!
Do you have any more XL?
yessir
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
waiting for the frs!!!!! give us some info about it!
how did you get TH-cam to play??
google chrome
Stay with bags and different color. 💪🏻🙌🏻
Coils and track stance with the big tire is definitely the way to go. You'll worry WAY less....
Is the head unit wireless auto android
I got the idoing head unit right away cuz my oem head unit didn’t work
Same my was acting up!
I think the old setup was looking sick 😍 maybe you should do like a negative 4 ?
Track stance with white wheels plzzzz
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.

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
just copped the yellow cruise tee! im in chula vista, drop off as soon as possible i need it 😭
got you bro! appreciate you!
The bags fit the style of the car bro, just run a different set of wheels. Maybe some triple chrome 57dr? 👀
Sheeeshh 🔥
Keep the sti setup you have rn please
great head unit I have one in my frs and I love it
noti gang🫡🫡 been loving the content lately chris you've been going crazy
means so much man ❤
Im not in to the stance style setup so my opinion is biased so for me the og set up was perfection :)
Back to static w meaty fitment >>>
so tempted 😅
I think both setups are clean anyways that carbon fiber thou❤❤❤❤
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
Keep the bags for sure and change the wheels
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!!
Where’s the frs content at!
Got a lot to talk about! Video soon.
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!
Stay on bags but get a different wheel setup that will clear the front brakes without having to run too much camber.
Stay on bags and get either the TE’s🥶 the Work Emotion ZR10 or the Enkei RS05RR🔥
Track stance with a polished te37 🔥
