Subaru Outback & Legacy 2009–2014: $359 iDoing CarPlay / Android Auto Head Unit Install

0:04Alright, what's up guys? I've moved because I moved to a new house. So I've been moving a lot. a lot.

0:49has the whole silver silver trim around when you have the head unit. So we have GPS on

1:04and then putting in the new one should be a simple and will be straightforward.

1:19but the the actual, this piece is like a brush aluminum. Alright, the remover should be easy.

1:26Just clips holding this trim here. Thank you., oh just pull the whole thing on it's easy

1:33those screws huh be cautious. You may need you may be breaking things. So

1:40a little price for my help. Easy holy. Yeah. So these plastic clips I think you, a little you

1:53Yeah we were going to be transferring these ones to the newer ones and the vents and also we're

1:59going to be transferring the bottom piece over to the new trim piecesf to remove the this

2:15it's just four screws. Yeah, so we'll remove that right now. Oh, you already got them.

2:32There's a ground one. Not too bad. So let the let me tell you what plugs that we unplugged.

2:42Just looks like a around like a 28 pin and a 12 maybe. A little bit more than the 12 pin but

2:48these three's three and then we had to remove this bottom one. This one looks like a radio antenna. So

2:56we'll see if the new one has a radio antenna because that is I never really seen this super

3:05use this cord before so. Alright, so we have the brains of the unit looks like there's a

3:09the micro. SD slot

3:13right there. The like a ID cable. But that's what's going to be plugging into the screen.

3:18. And this is where all the magic happens. This has the super harnesses right

3:22inside. Now it says WRX forster X five.

3:27but I think the X five might be the track. But this is a super legacy and we're just

3:32going to make sure everything works and you can see all the pin layouts on the left here. We

3:37have where the red little. These are covers. GPS and 4G 4g 4g so

3:46the the wifi antenna most likely is going to be on a wire not on like a antenna

3:52a antenna antenna. You do we do have the adapter for the bottom right bottom left. Left or my pink

4:15wire diagram. Let's see if I can show you guys this in case you need a reference to that. Check it

4:21check it out and then the top is just like a PC code, all right so. So let's start

4:33plugging it in and hopefully it will work

4:47these wires don't go very far out so I might not be able to show you guys clearly but you just plug in what fits.

5:20and it will measure the resistance. I don't

5:57have to continue to make sure it works. We can proceed from the

6:07go the the screen for IPS display they did. They do claim it as a QLED panel so it should have great colors.

6:17colors. Oh, it powers right up. That is a promising thing that. So this, this is generally iDoing.

6:54You don't have to worry about that., I know this is crazy. We can check Bluetooth., oh,

7:06me. Yeah, so let's let's just map it. So I was curious about

7:11general controls. So volume up. We're gonna volume up here. Volume down next track.

7:19And back of track mode. Do you want that to be mute or just like mode? Or home?

7:31, or is.

7:53control. But my car doesn't, have a reverse trigger. And I have a backup camera. You

7:59You can map a backup. Right there. So let's say this could be like,

8:22so. So we do have

8:45right here. So we're going to have.

8:50signal. Now you you ask me why are you asking? Because the first thing that the phone does

8:56is the handshake the Bluetooth saying, Hey, okay, good. Now, now that they did that, it switches,

9:02it switches over to Wi-Fi for a higher bandwidth signal and you'll get that higher quality of audio

9:08from Apple

9:09or Android and you can test this. You can play a Bluetooth and you-you'll notice the sound

9:10and then you play on Wi-Fi or a.

9:16a- sound car play or Android

9:18and you just have a

9:23a a higher bit rate and just sounds better. There's also a thing called parking and Mike, which we could.

9:26We're gonna add later. We're just gonna be testing the most important functionality for me

9:31would be the car play because that's all you use honestly.

9:34All right after we hooked up through Bluetooth to to of the head unit.

9:42right now, I went in here, car link 2.0, and now I have

10:12you can call it screen sharing but

10:42is all Apple.

11:13The quality of the audio is

11:16is great from what I'm hearing

11:18initially, he's like playing classical

11:20music.

11:22We're going to wrap up this

11:42, but then he has his own little

11:44cub.

12:13You can see,

12:18there's 5 tabs in total

12:20from my experience looks like

12:57Don't lose them, and they just pop in real easys easy

13:03so.

13:08Alright, so the only thing we have plugged

13:30right now, and he didn, and he didn't

13:32really

14:00want to

14:30the other ones it's pretty easy. Alright so we. So we have it install these,

14:37vents they work up and down left right

14:39close

14:40open

14:41let. Let's get this thing. Things started. I'm going to put the keys in.

15:10I always say infotainment ages the car like you change the infotainment.

15:14you know generally the engine stuff is... they. They're generally carry

15:18carryovers but technology moves so fast. So have this right here.

15:23And then we have a Android Auto Apple Car Play. renowned

15:27Alright so that's pretty much it overall it was very easy install. I know we

15:34didn't install things like the USBs but if you wanted to install the USBs

15:37so you could you can have a reroute over

15:41here. So you kind of fish the wire and you. Kind of bring it down here into the glove box

15:43but it was literally you. Pop the head unit out you put those two screws in and

15:50and for us we only plugged in one on plug because he only uses Apple car play and

15:58s and Android I don't auto but in the future we plan on.

16:02putting a reverse camera onto the so that's going to be exciting we reverse camera

16:06or he's gonna reverse camera on his

17:36all around right here very clean and

18:06actual trim to pop up a little bit more but for you

18:36little bit brighter than this this obviously is a little bit brighter

18:42and has a the brush look

18:44so they do have them they go back to the silver color and non brush

18:48so I guess it kind of matches with the silver

18:52I'll let you guys judge to my eye this is dark the

18:59trim around it does it bother me not really but it would look better if it matched if it was brighter

19:07maybe it would hurt your eyes I don't know, but it's better than if they did it

19:13not if they did it this in
