for those who want the headunit www.amazon.com/Android-Navigation-SUBARU-2014-2016-Bluetooth/dp/B01KK0G9QS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496807783&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=android+head+unit+wrx+2015&linkCode=ll1&tag=8324894-20&linkId=95c3b82989d758156b99dd3361e6d442
Thanks for the vid John. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find too much info on the head unit online. I found a link to an updated Android 6.0 version on Amazon but I still have some questions. Thanks for your vid, it looks great. Do you have a sub hooked up to it or know if I would be able to do so? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing man. Completely agree with the Shifter Stop. Just installed mine and loving the difference. Super cheap and easy mod that changes the whole feel of the drive.
You work at a dealership yet have no basic understanding of how warranties are handled when it comes to aftermarket modification. It is 100% up to the dealer to prove the modification caused the malfunction, not the other way around. Or maybe you've just never heard of the moss act.
Cool video. You didn't mention your badge upgrades. Saw and STI badge on the trunk and STI shift bezel, but WRX fender badges and.. (drumroll)...no DCCD. I actually bought a stock 2015 STI late 2021. Top 5 mods depend on what you want to do with your car and where you want to put your money. I live in the mountains of WV and bought my car to have fun in the twisties, so I'm doing drivability mods first. Shift bushing, strut tower brace, front/rear stabilizers and end links, then intake and exhaust and tune. Not too concerned about the head unit. When I'm busting the mtn roads my radio is off anyway so I can stay in tune with my car and the road.
I have on mine currently Cobb Access Port with a map stage 1, nameless muffler delete and the shift stop.. for less then a grand and just starting I would absolutely recommend this set up. makes the car feel and sound soon much better! but it's a gateway and stage 2 will follow shortly hahah! keep up the videos man!
A STi is a wrx, but a wrx is not an sti kind of thing. It's complicated. Anyways, i kind of bought what i liked regardless of title. I know some people get really offended but it doesn't bother me. Thanks for watching!
Nice. I'm going to buy an STi soon and currently own an S2000 which is going into the garage, not going anywhere and the shifter mod is very important to me. Thanks for the video.
So I purchased a pre owned WRX STI. It has the Perrin CAI and full exhaust. I head Cobb is only good with a Cobb CAI. Anyone here have Cobb access port with tunes without their CAI and how is it going for you?
Best mod by far is a universal Subaru flex fuel kit from eBay saving 200-250$ from buying same thing branded by Cobb and then getting a flex fuel tune by Bren or phatbotti. Hands down best money spent. And if you bundle the ap purchase with their e tune then you save 100-200$ on that as well. Just went e50 with universal flex kit and power gains are insane. 360/360.
Nice mods! You have so many mods you could break it down to at least a few categories. Appearance exterior/interior, Performance engine/suspension/miscellaneous, Audio/Visual, etc.
I have to say I agree with the Accessport, even if you're just wanting to monitor gauges. However, the head unit I wouldn't recommend. I think it looks great and is much improved over OEM. Having said that, any aftermarket head unit will slightly ding resale value because technology moves so quick it WILL become dated. Most buyers see it as a negative. If that's no concern- more power to you!
Have you had any issues with the head unit ? And also does it only connect with android phones? Asking because I would not want to lose Bluetooth connection towards my iPhone thanks !
For the shift stop, how did you install it? Did you take the center console completely off? I just bought it and realized there are no installs for the sti shifter.
When you get a Cobb Accessport there's different stages of available tuning based on certain parts that you have installed on the car. Stage 1+ is generally just a tune after you install an intake. Stage 2 is a tune you'd do after installing a down pipe and in some cases an after market fuel pump/internals, front mount intercooler etc. Check out Cobb's website for a better explanation and break down.
Surprised to not see AOS and TGR/EGV delete make the list. AOS is a must have whether you are building your car up for power or want to just leave it stock, it will really help with the longevity of your engine. TGR/EGV also removes bunch of restrictions but requires a tune, might not be ideal if you are in a state with strict emission laws and you will constantly have issues passing inspection. Biggest power gain is the flex fuel kit, next would probably be the J-Pipe, both require a tune.
hey man you're probably not paying too much attention to these older vids but i was hoping you could tell me where you got that vinyl sticker for like the side of your car
Hey bro I'm planning on buying a WRX Base or premium, (Limited and STI isnt in my budget) what does the COBB accessport acfually do to the car and is it expensive?
I got mine from this exact company. www.ebay.com/itm/StreetRays-Shifter-Slack-Delete-Shift-Lever-Stop-for-2015-Subaru-WRX-/301573444959?hash=item46372d955f:g:UDIAAOSwL7VWqso0&vxp=mtr they are pretty much all the same and serve the same purpose.
beautiful car brotha 👍 .... question ? where did you bought the head unit ? I been looking for one but can find it . there's others but don't like I'm trying to get the same has yours . looks pretty nice !!
I'm so confused. You said look how tight the first and second shift is with the shift stop, then you're like it used to be like this and then you wiggle it a ton. IT IS LIKE THAT IF YOU CAN STILL DO IT
Hey mate, cool vid. Wondering how easy it was to swap in the STI shift surround, was it just a straight replace? much prefer it to the WRX one. Cheers.
Looks great, there aren't too many videos showing this shift knob, looks really comfortable to grab, i have one of these on the way & can't wait to install it.

John Nguyen The unit is hot but I can't find a single review to see how it performs.
Is this a plug in unit? Did you have to buy any extra components?
Thanks for the vid John. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find too much info on the head unit online. I found a link to an updated Android 6.0 version on Amazon but I still have some questions. Thanks for your vid, it looks great. Do you have a sub hooked up to it or know if I would be able to do so? Thanks!
Is this wrx or sti?
John Nguyen does the android head unit allow you to still use steering wheel controls or is there anything g else you need to keep them?
Stage 1 is a gateway mod.
How is stage 1 on the cvt
@@dudefat1785much better then stock
Thanks for sharing man. Completely agree with the Shifter Stop. Just installed mine and loving the difference. Super cheap and easy mod that changes the whole feel of the drive.
Very first mod is the one that kills your warranty
Shadow Moses warranty is for pussies
adam smith lol hope that didn’t take you too long to come up with
adam smith I take it you're not a bright guy
Ryan K stock wrx is so fucking gay

You are making me want a new WRX..... So clean.
Love the look of your car!
2018 WRX LIMITED
You forgot that sweet sti badge on the back!! That adds a lot of hp and vg/pg ratio
Awesome video John! These are all awesome mods.
thanks !
I have on mine currently Cobb Access Port with a map stage 1, nameless muffler delete and the shift stop.. for less then a grand and just starting I would absolutely recommend this set up. makes the car feel and sound soon much better! but it's a gateway and stage 2 will follow shortly hahah! keep up the videos man!
all of those mods really make the car drive so much better. The powerband and the shifting just feels less lazy.
Nice stuff!
thank you
THANK YOU! Gave me an idea of what I wanna do to my Red WRX! Don't see these too often!
thanks post picture
John Nguyen wish I could post a pic on RUclips! Love your car!
thanks bro!
Very nice, Thank you for sharing, I never even considered a head until I saw this. Looks dope
Dude you car is gorgeous, I'm thinking about buying wrx and man it looks so good in red, we might be twins haha. Good job on your car keep it up
Red ones are rare, TWIN!
Nice video. You've made the car your own. I see a mix of WRX and STI badges all over the car, my gut tells me it's a WRX....
A STi is a wrx, but a wrx is not an sti kind of thing. It's complicated.
Anyways, i kind of bought what i liked regardless of title. I know some people get really offended but it doesn't bother me.
Thanks for watching!
the WRX Is on a whole new level of technology when it comes to the engine, but not the tranny or drivetrain
3:26 😂😂😂😂 "stop it" lmaalo
those kids are loud!
That car is beyond beautiful, it's soooooo cool, there is no word in the dictionary that can describe the beauty of that jewel😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bro your car is beautiful. 😳❤️
You pulled off a clean ass look for a red sti.... Very nice. I got a white one, limited edition.
thanks broski
Awesome ones man...luv
' em....
thank you
LOVE the video! Super helpful to the new platform
Your car is pretty sick man! keep up the good work!👍
thank you!
Nice. I'm going to buy an STi soon and currently own an S2000 which is going into the garage, not going anywhere and the shifter mod is very important to me. Thanks for the video.
thanks for the comment :)!
both cars are great. I do like having the extra room the subie has to offer!
John Nguyen as a new dad I do have to prioritize but not giving up the fun lol.
Diablo99V congrats!
Nice subie! 👍🏼
Nice mods, definitely change the look of the car.
thank you friend
So I purchased a pre owned WRX STI. It has the Perrin CAI and full exhaust. I head Cobb is only good with a Cobb CAI. Anyone here have Cobb access port with tunes without their CAI and how is it going for you?
Your car is sick man! I’m the 8000th sub. I’m outta Roseville. Hope to see your car in person one of these days.
You are my 8,000 subscriber. Thanks!
I'm generally around roseville all the way down to elk grove.
you will probably see me. biggooo red car.
Cool man, picking up a VA WRX today. Was looking at some vids and came across your channel. Keep up the good work and info!
Great stuff man!! Beauty 😍
thanks man
Lol why is there so much sti badges on this car and a wrx decal on the side fender.... is this a hybrid?
Love your videos, nice color 😉
Such a bad ass car man
thank you!
great video man subbed!
thanks!

You forgot to mention the vape! ;-) Just kidding dude- thanks for the awesome vid! I am gonna check out the shift stopper and the nav!!
Tail lights look so good👍
Beautiful car man
thank you bro!
Great video man..
Thank you my friend
Do you mind share the link for your rear mirror with turn signal and welcome light? It seems from aftermarket.
sure thing

Great Mods :) I'm saving this video, since I'm on the market for a subaru WRX.
thanks for watching
damn. this just motivated me to get the Android head unit!
how you gonna end the video before the beat drop? got me all hyped up for a black screen
Is ur fog light bezel upgraded? What kind is it
Nice mods! You have so many mods you could break it down to at least a few categories. Appearance exterior/interior, Performance engine/suspension/miscellaneous, Audio/Visual, etc.
yeah i might do that next!
dope vid!
thanks rafael
No exhaust for first mod? 🤔
your ride is so dope!
does headunit connect to the stock backup camera? also are you able to use steering wheel controls with it?
YES SIR
The first thing I'd do would be chuck UEL back on, idc I'd sacrifice that chunk of performance to get character back. It's a rex not an evo.
The Rex life you can't, it has a twin scroll turbo
Bob Jones Oh my fault then
i do love that rumble sound, however the new fa20 makes so much horsepower and gets really good mpg!
Not bad top 5! 👍🏼
thanks bro, big fan of your channel
I have to say I agree with the Accessport, even if you're just wanting to monitor gauges. However, the head unit I wouldn't recommend. I think it looks great and is much improved over OEM. Having said that, any aftermarket head unit will slightly ding resale value because technology moves so quick it WILL become dated. Most buyers see it as a negative. If that's no concern- more power to you!
the 15 wrx headunit look really dated.
I'm glad some aftermarket headunit are looking cleaner throughout the years
What size wheels and tires? Would u rub if u didn’t lower it or got coilovers?
love ur blog dude
super late but what kind of power gains can you get from an access port and tune?
from cobb it's expected 50 hp~
What kind of mount are you using for the AP? I'm looking to get one and I'd rather mount it where you have it vs the A-Side pillar.
It's custom!
Have you had any issues with the head unit ? And also does it only connect with android phones? Asking because I would not want to lose Bluetooth connection towards my iPhone thanks !
it can connect through bluetooth to an ipphone
hey buddy where did you get that black stripe from? I was looking for a while now and can't find one like yours. thanks
i just had a local vinyl shop guy do it for me. Just show a picture of my car, they should be able to do it
makes sense! haha thanks
np
Oh my god that red color.... truly beautiful oh my gosh you have a nice car
Thank you Mr Wilson!
Access port.. was looking to just get a Dyno tune instead. Do I still need the AP
yeah you need an accessport to get tune, even if you are going to pro tuner, they would probably try to sell you one
0pLegit you don't need an access port to get tuned but highly recommended as most tuners prefer it for subis specifically.
For the shift stop, how did you install it? Did you take the center console completely off? I just bought it and realized there are no installs for the sti shifter.
for the wrx you just have to pull the shift boot up. for the sti center console you gotta unscrew everything
John Nguyen yeah i took everything off and it doesnt seem like this is compatible with the STi. Let me know if you anything about it
It's true, I did the same thing and was like... this is totally different and no where to mount it on an sti.
I returned it.
Can anyone explain to me what “stage mods” are? 1, 2, 3, etc etc.... thanks
When you get a Cobb Accessport there's different stages of available tuning based on certain parts that you have installed on the car. Stage 1+ is generally just a tune after you install an intake. Stage 2 is a tune you'd do after installing a down pipe and in some cases an after market fuel pump/internals, front mount intercooler etc.
Check out Cobb's website for a better explanation and break down.
for the android head unit thing, how do i turn on the radio?
there is just an app where you can turn it on
Surprised to not see AOS and TGR/EGV delete make the list. AOS is a must have whether you are building your car up for power or want to just leave it stock, it will really help with the longevity of your engine. TGR/EGV also removes bunch of restrictions but requires a tune, might not be ideal if you are in a state with strict emission laws and you will constantly have issues passing inspection. Biggest power gain is the flex fuel kit, next would probably be the J-Pipe, both require a tune.
I think when this video was made a aos wasn’t made for fa20s
Taillights are one of your TOP 5 mods?!? 😂. How about maybe a bigger intercooler, sway bars or an AOS?!
When u stomp on the gas can u feel the horse power(low end torque) or does it have really bad turbo lag as some ppl say it does?
with the FA20 motor it's twinscroll so the there isn't really any lag.
What brand is the lower grill??
I have to agree!
thanks for commenting, a big fan! i have a canon t2i. Very similar to your t3i!
hey man you're probably not paying too much attention to these older vids but i was hoping you could tell me where you got that vinyl sticker for like the side of your car
Awesome video John. You're selling me on those tailights. Where did you get that carbon fiber Accessport faceplate?
i just did a carbon 3m wrap. It does the job!
hey man what's the head unit's mod? i googled pioneer but didn't find the exact same one. can you do a review of it?
I'm trying to start getting into modding my car(2015 subaru impreza 2.0i sedan), but idk what fits my car at all... any help please??
i would look getting into wheels and suspension first
Any head unit recommendations? I've heard some are not compatible with the steering wheel controls?
that head unit is sick!
Hi John, which Pioneer Head Unit did you install? It looks so neat. The ones I see are rectangular. Yours follows the shape of the slot. Thanks,
it's an android head unit
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KK0G9QS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ANBYHRK5P3K4H&linkCode=ll1&tag=8324894-20&linkId=6c250f7ae79635c198b02df418430ca2
does the head unit work for iphones? just curious cause it was an andriod head unit
does doing the cobb acessport, void the warranty? i know its a stupid question
crazyshot011 yes. cause it messes with the stock ecu
you can roll it back,
I've taken to my car many times and they never denied me my claim yet
first mods will be brembo brakes, short shifter, catch can, down pipe and Cobb tune
Just got a beautiful red limited 6m wrx a few days ago
I have a 2019 one there gorgeous in red 😍
I saw that you have aftermarket wheels install, how did you get the tpms light ti go away
swap the tpms from your stock wheels into the new wheels. Or buy new TPMS sensors.
Where did you get your front lip bumper ? Thank you.
DOES THE HEAD UNIT WORK WITH BACKUP CAM?
Dream car man... respect
Hey bro I'm planning on buying a WRX Base or premium, (Limited and STI isnt in my budget) what does the COBB accessport acfually do to the car and is it expensive?
the accessport is what i pretty much explain in the video.
More power
Where’d you get your decals? Looking to add some to mine. Thanks.
What brand shift stop? You said you got it for $30, i know perrin has one for $60.
I got mine from this exact company.
www.ebay.com/itm/StreetRays-Shifter-Slack-Delete-Shift-Lever-Stop-for-2015-Subaru-WRX-/301573444959?hash=item46372d955f:g:UDIAAOSwL7VWqso0&vxp=mtr
they are pretty much all the same and serve the same purpose.
John Nguyen thanks bro! Btw how did you come aross that sti wing? Trunk swap or...?
someone wreck their sti, so i bougth the whole trunk. I still have my stock one in case i go back
John Nguyen yeah i wanna see if I can get a trunk without a swap cause no one wants to swap in my area
Yeah took me about a year to find even a wreck one. Red is a are color. Especially since its only for the 2015, they changed red for the 2016,2017
Does the screen turn on once when you turn key to on, then off and on again when you actually start the car?
Subisauruswrx yup!
Did you purchase the Wrx at the Roseville AutoNation Subaru? If so that really awesome man! I work there haha
yes i did sir!
Where u got the accessport cover?
i wrapped it
Hey man, between iDoing and Seicane, what do you suggest for a 2017 Subaru STI?
what exact head untit is that? so frsh and looks great
if you go to subispeed website it's listed as GCS android head unit!
sweet thanx bro!
What's the brand and model of that head unit?
it's an android head unit from overseas, no brand
That android head unit is sick! Can I still use my iPhone with it, or if not, is there a unit with apple carplay software?
yeah you can use that headunit to connect your phone. It doesnt have carplay though
would the headunit fit a 2018 sti?
beautiful car brotha 👍 .... question ? where did you bought the head unit ? I been looking for one but can find it . there's others but don't like I'm trying to get the same has yours . looks pretty nice !!
i bought that head unit on aliexpress, but you can find them on ebay too
Dual zone climate on a WRX? How did you manage that may I ask?
it's single still! it requires additional parts for the complete swap. You can check out my previous video to see my tackle on how to get working
John Nguyen Oh alright! kind of hate that my limited WRX didn't come with dual zone, it's kind of a stupid omission by Subaru
yeah its a bummer! some guys on the forum has some part numbers to get it fully working
I'm so confused. You said look how tight the first and second shift is with the shift stop, then you're like it used to be like this and then you wiggle it a ton. IT IS LIKE THAT IF YOU CAN STILL DO IT
oh when you pull up on the reverse lock out it demonstrate's how it is without it. because it bypasses the shift stopper.
John Nguyen ok that makes way more sense. Thank you.
Hey mate, cool vid. Wondering how easy it was to swap in the STI shift surround, was it just a straight replace? much prefer it to the WRX one. Cheers.
very easy
Do you have a link as to where I can get those tailights?
they are on subispeed
What shift knob do you have, looks like the Raceseng Sphereology?
yup!
Looks great, there aren't too many videos showing this shift knob, looks really comfortable to grab, i have one of these on the way & can't wait to install it.
yeah i actually made a video talking about it but it didnt make my top 5 list! lol
love it!
what is the wheel specs and tires? tnx
18x9.5 +27
thanks!
Where can i buy parts for the 2018 wrx ? Lol are aftermarket parts even out yet for 2018?
it's pretty much the same car with a different front bumper
John Nguyen so most cosmetic body kits for 2017 wrx will fit the 2018 wrx?
yeah, like the tail lights, spoilers, 99 percent of the stuff
John Nguyen thanks bro
How you get the STI shifter bezel badge lighted up?
it's like that stock
