That was a great video. I've been looking at this because it's such an improvement. Thanks.
I’m gonna keep it real I wasn’t a fan of the lapis blue but now it GREW on me a lot ! I’m getting my STI in that color ! 🔥
Got this head unit cause of you! I have the HK on my 17 STI limited. And man it definitely makes a huge difference. The sound is amplified it sounds nothing like it did before and I love it
Hiw did you do the equalizer set up? Did you do a SMILE then adjust from there? Or do you have some texhnique for a newb like ne
Got this for my 2015. At time of posting this, have it for almost a year and it still works great…better than some OEM units.
Did you do the install? Did it take long?
I plan on getting one of these installed in my 2018 forester. I am still deciding between this unit and the roadanvi unit but they both seem to be the same. I love the fact that its essentially an android tablet so i can install my fav launcher (smart launcher) and customize the UI and home screen to my liking. Thanks so much for the video!! I'll be checking out other vids you have for this.
Man your car is so sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh I also listen to I Built the Sky. Thank you for the review!
Your car is so bad ass bro. So beautiful
It doesn’t always connect, but a quick “settings to Bluetooth” on the phone works great 😅
I really like the Idoing unit they are def nice, but I ended up choosing the T'Eyes CC3 because the UI is better, picture in picture i.e I can run navi, movies/songs and browser at the same time amongst other nice options I didn't realize I needed.
I have a 2017 with the iDoing unit that has knobs. Initial take is a MASSIVE improvement. After about 4months, the sound quality decreased - tweeters sounded a bit cackley - i dont blast my volume as i have tinnitus but i am fully aware of what equates to quality of sound. I was told the speakers likely went bad, so i purchased and replaced all 4 speakers and the 2 dash tweeters. The sound did not improve from that.
Has anyone else had this experience with their unit/speakers after install?
Quick question maybe won’t matter to a lot of people but does to me. How is the sun flare ? Entering though back window or even side front windows?
Good music choice bro!
Just ordered one for my STI!
Good choice!
FYI-I used the link, says it doesn't work for my 2021 WRX STI and there was no option for Harmon Kardon system either. I sent message asking if they have one to fit my car.
So I have to be looking in the wrong places, but how in the world can you change the themes and backgrounds on these units? Had mine for a year and still to this day I'm not seeing good info on how to do it. Let me know if you have a quick minute and much appreciated.
I love in Minnesota and daily it. I wonder how well it does in the cold
Hey can you show me how to enable the panel light pls
This radio is awesome however the Bluetooth microphone is just trash tried several different aftermarket microphones with no change even did they’re newest update with the factory microphone still sucks no on can hear me I my car. Yet Idoing still not willing to help with exchange cause it’s been sometime and I have been complaining since the beginning.
2:04 i want that launcher! Just installed my idoing last week
I have one of these for my 09 wrx it has overheated maybe like 3 times in my year and a half of owning it so not too bad. Every once in a while the video feed between the display and the Iphone is a little flakey but that only happens when I use ways but i don't use it that often so not a huge deal. (maybe i have the antenna in a bad spot) other then that its a great piece of kit.
happens to me too in my idoing unit in my 21 sti. super annoying!
Does your Apple Maps pixel blurr while driving at all for a certain minute in that mode ? And you gotta switch to music and back to maps to refresh it
Never had that issue
Great vid! Been interested in this one for a while for my sti. I'm wondering if it shows obd2 read outs like temperatures etc?
I believe there is an accessory add on you can get with it to display that info. I know there is one for the TPMS as well.
You can hook up a bluetooth obd2 reader and use torque or something like that to show the info on the screen.
Nice video..I have been thinking about this for a while. Does it dim the display when lights are come on at night?
Yes! Just like the stock unit. The display dims when lights are on and at night.
Anyone know if this works on a 2015 WRX with the Kicker audio package?
Edit: Oh sht, I just needed to keep listening. Apparently you have the kicker speaker upgrade as well. Yay!
👍🏻
How did you get the wireless carplay? The idoing unit I have I think is the same. I got android for my phone though
ruclips.net/video/LP1rfJ-_uak/видео.html
How is it better than the stock one? I have a 2020 with the HK system and don't see how this would be an upgrade. Did the rear camera look good? any lag on the wireless apple play?
I upgraded to a newer android headunit, unfortunately quite different to your setup. But if you use the oem camera it will probably look worse on the bigger screen.. at least my 2020 Impreza sport does. I'm debating if I want to go through the trouble of replacing the oem camera with something better. It looks like a standard size camera screwed in from the back, but I'd have to run wires to the back or cut something up to wire in an aftermarket camera in the oem location.
great head unit minus one complaint I have. It isnt held in well, i can pull it out with just my hands easily. not sure if its on the 08-14 models only but ive seen others with the same issue.
Mine is in there extremely well. Pretty hard to pry out. I know tanner (@smeedia) had some issues with his in his hatch. Granted he has 700+hp, it still wasn’t in well.
Mine falls out all the time if I step onit in 2nd stock 2010 sti. Other than that I love the unit
Hey man just wondering, did you route the gps box anywhere? I assume gps through CarPlay would still work without it? Wondering if I can avoid sticking that thing to my dash..
I just placed it right on top of the unit so it’s tucked away.
@@Scoobyfreak86 nice, I’ll likely do the same. Thx for the reply
What are the two gauges you have on your coin compartment right below the head unit?
ruclips.net/video/3Gn4S5hhfzE/видео.html
Does anyone know if this headunit will still work with Subaru's Eyesight system or Starlink app?
It does not
Hello. I know you got the kicker upgraded subwoofer. I was wondering if there was a place to plug that on the back of the Idoing unit. Thanks !
Yes. Plugs right into the factory harness just like the stock unit.
@@Scoobyfreak86 cool thank you. Installing later today. Let’s hope it all goes well
I can’t set up the logo in mine ! All I see is the android logo that’s it
I have a love and hate relationship with mine. Its 100 percent worth it. But it still has its problems. Like shutting off suddenly and taking forever to reboot. Or andriod auto not working. Or just never rebooting after a long time and have to do a whole ass factory reset. Not sure if its because mine is for a 2015 harman kardon system and might be the oldest one out there. But i still freaken love it so much that i put up with alll its flaws.
Have you reached out to idoing? Their CS is pretty darn good. Maybe it’s time to snag a new one!
@Scoobyfreak86 Yeah, i reached it, and they sent me a new update to install, but it still does the same. It's frustrating, but I've put up with it, lol. I might have to if i ever get to that point, but i have a lot of patience, so we shall see for how long, haha.
@@Menace_sti I had a couple updates needed for mine. Firmware and then bluetooth and it's rock solid since. The bluetooth one cleaned up my blackscreen for AA and sometimes not connecting. Mine was non HK though - purchased about 6 months ago.
I've had very similar experiences to this! Mine keeps resetting and trying to update it has been a pain in the arse.
I just installed this head unit and everything works great...but now my my three dash buttons won't work is that something to do with the head unit?
Those don’t have anything to do with the headunit.
Do you know if this is any different than scicane branded one? They all look the same with the trip etc.
Similar design but different processors and interface.
Mines been giving me nothing but problem I don’t have the password to factory reset
I can’t connect to CarPlay out of no where with usb / or Bluetooth just keeps failing to connecting
Have you tried a reset? Just swipe down on the top of the screen and hit restart.
Thank you so much for the amazing video here! Just curios will the header work with the stock microphone? I saw some people said it will not work with the stock microphone and they have to use the microphone comes with the header which is actually really bad. No one want to have phone call with them when they are driving😂
You have to use the provided mic
@@Scoobyfreak86 I see. Thanks for confirming that. It seems that the quality of the mic is not an issue to you. So i guess it's acceptable?
It works ok. Never take phone cals in the car, so I don’t use it much. But I have heard people prefer the OEM mic better.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thank you so much for the information!
The gauges below the A/C & Temp adjuster look awesome! Anybody know where to grab them?
ruclips.net/video/3Gn4S5hhfzE/видео.htmlsi=pxaDPHmgVtP0RcbC
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thanks for the reply. I actually found your interior mod video not long after posting the question. Can't seem to track down the cubby gauge pod on subispeed. Working on finding an alternative though.
How do you know if you have an HK system? I bought a 2018 STI limited. None of the speakers have any logos except for the sub in the rear dash which does have an HK logo. Not sure if that sub is an add on from the dealership or what. Its a 7 speaker set up and I thought that HK systems had 9 so I am confused
You have the hk. Non hk doesn’t have a sub at all.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thank you!
that very first intro showed 5g connectivity. I thought the built-in cellular support was only 4g/LTE. I suppose I should watch the rest of your video to see if there is clarity.
Best regards to STi family, about iDoing head unit and I wanna ask you do you have video from start to the end how did you take out oem unit because I have new iDoing head unit at home ready to be installed. I’m kind of wondering is it easy to do it myself or I would have to get someone who knows how to change it.
Thank you
It’s very easy to do as it’s all plug and play. The hardest part is getting the stock unit out since a few screws are hard to get to.
@@Scoobyfreak86 are you talking about two side screws?
The only thing it stops me from getting one is HD Radio. (For a couple stations and audio quality)
I don’t listen to the radio so I don’t have much experience with it on this unit.
By chance does anyone know if the have one on alliexpress for an 11 sti?
They do, yes.
Where did u get the black cover for the AC knobs?
Painted them
Do the steering wheel controls still work with no additional wiring ?
Yes sir. Nothing else is needed to have them work like stock.
Clean as.
Quick question, where did you order your steering wheel emblem overlay from? Did it require you to unplug the airbag to put it in or no?
Just a vinyl decal
@@Scoobyfreak86 where did you order it from if you remember?
I didn’t get it from here as the place I got mine no longer looks to be available. But here is another option that looks good www.stickerfab.com/products/steering-wheel-emblem-overlay-2005-2020-wrx-sti-forester-crosstrek-brz
@@Scoobyfreak86 ok thx so much
What are those aftermarket ac knobs you have?
Stock knobs painted
I picked this up and installed it, sound quality was horrible compared to stock and reverted back to stock. Would an in-line amp to the stereo help solve this issue?
An amp would help get you what you need. However, the door speakers are recommended to be replaced as well. Stock speakers leave a lot to be imagined.
@@Scoobyfreak86 I have the HK sound system, I did upgrade the front door speakers prior to installing this. The problem I ran into was at medium to high volume the quality did not sound good at all. I am hoping an amp can fix this because other than the quality this unit is awesome!
Ahh I never heard this system with the hk setup. I had the base speakers and upgraded to the kickers. But an amp should definitely help clean things up for you.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thanks for the fast reply!
Thanks for the video. What's the name of the rim?
ruclips.net/video/OMZhaZY1M4A/видео.htmlsi=PVFABtU9Wk5AHXtc
Can you play videos while driving? My daughter would love that.
Yes. You can load it onto the unit or screen mirror from your phone.
For phone calls, where did you install the mic ? How is the call quality ?
I just clipped it onto the steering column. Quality is too great, but I heard the new version of this can work with the OEM mic.
@@Scoobyfreak86 can you link the new version?
@MiLLz830 yes, please link the new version 🙏
@@Scoobyfreak86please link the new version 🙏
I really want to get one, but I just don't like how much it sticks out (or appears to). I prefer a more flush fitment.
What brembos are those?
ruclips.net/video/ex6fv-KrRSc/видео.htmlsi=Nl695BegnrKdYEZ8
So 2018 STI no front speaker sound
Need to transfer the starlink module box from the stock unit over.
@@Scoobyfreak86 any videos on that?
@sizemorerc8206 no video on the install of this unit but just remove that black box on the bottom of the stock headunit. Plug it in and tuck it behind the idoing and you’ll be good to go.
@@Scoobyfreak86 thanks bro it's working now
Is available in Spanish?
Yes you can choose the language
Apparently Idoing has just released a harness that allows you to retain the factory hands-free Microphone
Where can I purchase this?
Link please, don't see anything on the website
Link please
I’m gonna keep it real I wasn’t a fan of the lapis blue but now it GREW on me a lot ! I’m getting my STI in that color ! 🔥
Mines for sale 😁
@@Scoobyfreak86 I’m gonna go with the financing route 😅
You can finance in a private sale
@@Scoobyfreak86 how does that work ?
Go through a bank of your choice. Get approved for price of the car and you get a certified check for that amount.
