- So here\'s the deal, I just bought a 2011 Subaru Outback Premium wagon 2.5i motor. It came with the most basic sound system (NOT the Harmon Kardon). I was watching a bunch of YouTube vids on Android head units and it seems that the only place you can buy the brands that are popular or recommended is on AliExpress. Well, I decided that I really don\'t trust that site so I went to Amazon (knowing that if there was an issue, Amazon would make it right). I went out on a limb and tried this head unit to see if I could do it and if it really does all it says it does.I am blown away upon first impressions. Ok first the install...the unit comes with two major wiring harnesses and a bunch of secondary or accessory harnesses. You will only need one of the two major harnesses depending on if your stock radio had navigation or not. Mine did not. It was as simple as plugging in the harness to thr main car harness then plugging the other end into the back of the head unit.The only trouble I had here was that the antenna adapter portion of the harness is WAY too short to reach the head unit. I saw this on a vid and was prepared. I purchased a radio antenna extension cable Female to Male that did the trick. There is a blue wire that runs into the adapter and is wired into the harness. I\'m not sure if it\'s to give a small amount of power to the antenna on the car but regardless, it was just as short. So I cut two pieces of wire from the unused harness and spliced it together for extra length. This was the ONLY splicing or non plug and play part of the install. The rest was just matching up the end of the accessory harnesses to the right plug in thr head unit. I ran the external mic thru the inside left \"wall\" of the open cavity and in thru the side of the leather baffle of the steering wheel. This is fairly easy to do if you put your wheel all the way in the down position. The mic clips on very easily to the lower plastic surround of the gauge cluster.I ran the USB port and wire this way as well because I have my phone mounted on a vent mount on the far left hand vent by the door. The leather baffle hides the wires very well. It is a very clean install.I chose to run the GPS antenna box and it\'s wire from near the driver door. I used the double stick tape provided and adhered it just below the small dash vent on the far left side just below the A pillar. Then ran the wire tucked in between the plastic side panel of the dash and the metal frame of the door opening. Then ran the wire across the lowest part of the dash near the bottom of the steering wheel. The pry tool provided helped me to hide the wire inside the lower panels. Finally I ran the connection end of the wire behind the center console and up into the cavity for the head unit. That one was a little tricky but a wire fishing rod or even a coat hanger would\'ve made the job easier. Whatever, it all worked out and the wires are all hidden.The fit and finish of the trim bezel is very good. You must remove the vents and the yellow clips from the old bezel and move those to the new one in order for it to work properly and snap into place. I had to smack the upper corners into place but over all it went in smoothly once everything was wired up on the back.Now on to the functionality....wow! It\'s fast, bright, amazing sound improvement over the OEM and is so versatile. It came to life right away with NO load time. The UI is very pleasing and the ability to customize everything is great (including steering wheel controls). It took seconds to pair with Bluetooth on my Samsung S21Ultra. Then I turned on my Hotspot and that\'s when the unit really is at its best. You can watch YouTube, serf Google searches etc etc. Just like if it were a tablet. Pairing to the wifi was made easier with the instruction booklet. Follow what they say and about turning your developer option for the USB to USB debugging. Once I did that, no glitches. Android Auto works fast and perfectly. The equalizer settings are great and these OEM speakers never sounded better. Even the FM radio came in loud and clear. It has a function that allows you to see what station and song is being played as well. The main side menu touch \"buttons\" are able to change color to match your interior of your car. Oh! Calling is a breeze and sounds great as well. You can even have your contact phone book downloaded for ease of use.I honestly cannot believe you get all this and the ease of installation for around $200. It\'s really much better than I hoped. I\'m not a bot and I\'m not paid for this review. It is an honest to goodness review and real pics of the unit in my car (the pics don\'t do the beautiful IPS screen justice). Hoping above all hopes that this thing lasts a long time. If you have any questions, post them in the Q&A portion on this listing and I\'ll try to make it a point to respond to questions that I can genuinely answer about my install and the unit overall. I would but this again and again based off of first impressions. Best of luck to you!As far as the bezel or trim goes
- The stereo looks great and fit very well on my 2013 Subaru Outback. It connected to Apple CarPlay via bluetooth and looked like a great upgrade for an old car. However it does not work with H&K Amplifier, therefore, there was absolutely no sound, which deems it useless and I returned it.The instructions included in the package were not sufficient, just a couple of pages with pictures and clearly not meant to help. Also it does not connect to Subaru\'s pre-installed backup camera.The seller attempted to help via messages in broken english, very similar to the 2 existing product reviews at the time I bought... (hint..)
- We just bought our son a 2011 Subaru Outback for his 16 th birthday. Great looking car but still had the old stereo system. This was a great upgrade. Mostly plug and play, but the harman system has an amp from the factory. So you need to cut the plug that gos to the amp and add rca plugs to work with the harness that comes from AWESAFE. But all in all very nice system.
- Does not work with Subaru Legacy 2.5i limited with HK system
- Sounds loud! Easy to connect! Touch screen! Back up camer! Easy install!
- Came with harness, dash kit and head unit. It does what it is supposed to. It was pretty simple for my son to install . Bluetooth and gps work fine a little slow but work . It is a decent system for the money
- Put this in and there’s no going back. Except to back up with the help of my new backup camera. Sound quality is amazing and it hooks right up to my phone. What else could I ask for.
