Alright! Those BRZ can pull some turns. Two thumbs up. Anyone who doesn't know, never part with your Subaru axles. Both joints have a rebuild kit. Aftermarket are junk for many reasons, but if you run on custom suspension... you now own a wagon.
Good video, I would like to see a transmission fluid change next. There is not a lot info on the automatic BRZ transmissions. Keep up the great content!
What info do you need? It has a 7.9qt capacity and takes JWS 3324 or NWS9638 Automatic Transmission Fluid, which is essentially Dexron VI Regular oil changes is key to a healthy automatic gearbox. I would do 30-40k changes for optimum performance. 👍🏼
If you want a good headunit the atoto s8 ultra plus looks great. Still use the factory trim. for $30 a month I put a phone plan on my car and watch RUclips and play games. My cars a big phone / tablet
Great video. Thanks. Just got a used 2014 BRZ last week and had rain yesterday. Found out the trunk was leaking. Now I know another place to check to find the leak.
Thanks for posting this video. I got the same year and color but with a manual and 60k miles from a neighbor for my son to use. W/O a backup camera, I am worried he might back into something. I was looking at aftermarket head units, but this is simpler and cheaper to do.
MrSubaru1387 I am buying a 2023 Outback Wilderness and would like you to tell me what basic tools sets I need for regular maintenance that I would normally perform including tire rotation. Thank!
Hi sir I looked for your most recent video am having a problem with my ac compressor it won’t disengage it just stays engaged when it’s on what can be the problem I have a 2004 Impreza
Couple of things to know,,you could have installed the camera in the middle as there is no button to worry about on that car & then the picture would have been centered instead of being to one side also, for those that attempt this , use a plastic snake (a VERY long wire tie) cut the end off, tape the wire to it & then use glass cleaner (spray bottle) to act as a temporary lubricant to ease the wire through the boot. That after a short time will dry up & not leave the wires slippery like WD40 would
Since u Just installed yours, the video wasn’t quite clear on the red wires. Do you just attach them together at the radio and also there is another red wire at the camera end this video doesn’t show that did yours have that red wire and what did you hook it up to?
Have a 2016 Scion FR-S just installed the Sony XAV-AX100 (purely for the boot screen customization) as well as car play. Having a hard time finding a straightforward answer or pin out to make the OEM reverse camera work with the aftermarket head unit. Looks like a yellow RCA cable so some way to convert that + power. Any advice? Thanks!
Very neat! I've been wondering if something similar can be done for a forward facing camera on the newer Foresters. The Forester Wilderness has a forward camera, and my 2020 Touring has a knock out on the grill in the same place for a camera. Any way to get one installed and utilize the factory [upper dash] screen?
I dont know if you've done this yet. If not could you post a video running the Subaru engine cleaner on the brz? I don't know which line to run it through in my brz. Thanks
I just picked up a '23 BRZ. This is my first vehicle that sits so low to the ground and I'm paranoid about smacking the front lip into a curb. Would something like this be able to mount up front and only turn on in 1st gear rather than reverse?
Scored me a BRZ head unit to upgrade my 07 Forester and add BU camera. FAIL. Plugs are not the same. Anyone want to buy a known working BRZ head unit ?
The camera power line from the wire adapter goes to the red wire on the camera line right. I just did this and it didn’t work. Emerald is now saying I need a different reverse signal. Ugh.
What's the verdict from you and others on a 2008 Tribeca with 230,000 klm's on the clock. I bought my first Subaru in 1980 and had 1.5 million k's of trouble free motoring. After running diesels for 15 years I got a cheap Volvo xc90 [ check engine light, easy fix] my wife claimed it, now I want to give the diesel the flick and buy an xc90 for myself { the 3.2 ltr petrol } I can't find one in my price bracket. Would the Tribeca be a good alternative, if so what do I need to look for in a vehicle that's done 230,000 k's. Your comments and others who have run the 3.6ltr. Tribeca would be appreciated.
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks! I will probably change out the head unit all together to something support wireless Apple car play, and install the camera while I’m doing that
question, i have a 2014 subaru forester with the factory navigation head unit. and auto climate control, would i be able to move my back-up cam output image from the tiny screen above the head unit down to the bigger screen?
@@MrSubaru1387 yup, i wish i could upgrade it though, i really don't like the nav unit. i want a head unit that i can keep my steering wheel controls working

That rear view camera sitting slanted there on the bumper would bug the crap out of me. Well done tho. Added to my to do list.
the surprise wire split is a good example why you need to have your cars electrical inspected just as much as mechanical components

I'm glad that you figured out the rain leak, too. Those can be especially frustrating.

you can never go overboard.....it just means done right! great video.
Thanks for the update video on your BRZ Robert nicely done with the backup camera. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍 it.
Thanks! Same to you buddy!

Glad I could help!
This was the first mod I did to mine, too! Hopefully you don't find continued electrical issues with the immobilizer having been on there prior.
glad you made this video i definitely need one with how low i sot in the car when i go to look back i barley see over the rear seats.

10, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 19mm socket and a Phillips and Flathead screwdriver is pretty much all you need. A good torque wrench is also good to have.
Thank you so much for making these brz videos! its helped me out so much with doing my own installations and work on my brz!!!
Hi sir I looked for your most recent video am having a problem with my ac compressor it won’t disengage it just stays engaged when it’s on what can be the problem I have a 2004 Impreza
Quick question:
Does Subaru have a means of monitoring engine hours in their ECUs? If so, when did they implement it and what is needed to access it?
I’m not entirely sure. Never looked into it before.
you triggered my ocd @5:00 when you put that cover back on over the dirty paint... lol
👌
I need to do this
First I was like WTF my car always had a backup camera, then I remember I had 2016

Next mod, turboed Fa24 swap!
This was super helpful, thank you so much! Just successfully installed mine yesterday :D

I'm assuming the turbo kit is the the mail? 😁

I actually did this 2 weeks ago and was wondering why no one ever went with a center mounted position.
I just picked up a '23 BRZ. This is my first vehicle that sits so low to the ground and I'm paranoid about smacking the front lip into a curb. Would something like this be able to mount up front and only turn on in 1st gear rather than reverse?
I’m sure that it could be done. Just not sure how quickly/easily.
Scored me a BRZ head unit to upgrade my 07 Forester and add BU camera. FAIL. Plugs are not the same. Anyone want to buy a known working BRZ head unit ?
No no. You had it right.
It's called the doodlybop.
....suspiciously eyes tangled mass of wires....backs slowly away from Subaru....
Was that the koken nut setter being used on the m12 impact, great bit of kit if it is 👍👍
Yup. Universal end nut setter.
@@MrSubaru1387 awesome I got mine a couple weeks ago can’t beat them, it’s your fault I’ve got into getting tools from Amazon Japan 😂😂👍
Have you done any rear camera installs on a 3rd gen outback? Just bought a unit and trying to figure out the best path to the back of the car lol
The camera power line from the wire adapter goes to the red wire on the camera line right. I just did this and it didn’t work. Emerald is now saying I need a different reverse signal. Ugh.
Did you figure it out? Im having the same issue i think
what resolution camera was needed ?

Does this kit work with 2014 FRS head unit?
I’m not entirely sure. I’m sure the website can tell you about compatibility
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks! I will probably change out the head unit all together to something support wireless Apple car play, and install the camera while I’m doing that
Why was the factory wiring cut? An anti theft immobilizer?
Not exactly sure. Either a tracker or immobilizer.
I bet the neighbors are wondering why you keep backing up everywhere
question, i have a 2014 subaru forester with the factory navigation head unit. and auto climate control, would i be able to move my back-up cam output image from the tiny screen above the head unit down to the bigger screen?
Same head unit as the one shown here? If so I don’t see why it couldn’t be modified to work on the nav screen.
@@MrSubaru1387 yup, i wish i could upgrade it though, i really don't like the nav unit. i want a head unit that i can keep my steering wheel controls working
Love the vids, quick ?, I am looking at a 96 outback wagon with 200k on it anything special I should look for. It's a 2 owner car asking $1995.
Head gaskets would be number one thing to check.
@@MrSubaru1387 On a 96 with a 2.2l, I thought it was just the 2.5l
What is the link to purchase the backup camera kit? Also, do you know if this kit will work with an aftermarket panasonic headunit?

@@MrSubaru1387 will this work with an aftermarket headunit or do i need other equipment for that
@@sheshanthvijay200 can’t say.
I would buy new plastic and toss that carbon fiber crap in garbage. Subaru plastic panels are generally inexpensive.
