  • Learn how to remove your stereo. It's really not hard at all. There are 4 bolts which must be removed. I cover the bottom left first, but would like to note that particular bolt can be taken out if you have the right tools and extensions without removing the trim. If not, as you can see in the video it's easy to remove the trim to get to it.

    2015 wrx and STi don't have bolts. It's super easy to do. Just remove the radio bezzle with plastic pry tools and it's all 1 piece. Unhook the hazard light connection, mft connection and hvac connection to get to your radio.

    In your experience is there frequently any wire damage behind the factory head unit/stereo? Having an issue on my 18 base wrx where the #24 10a "radio unit" fuse is popping. Bone stock car and I can't be bothered to remove all these panels and wires just to check on a hunch.

    You have to remove the 2 airbag bolts and set the airbag aside in order to get a proper angle. Only takes an extra 30 seconds to save you lots of frustration on the driver side bolt.

    Hey so quick question I recently removed my head unit on my 2020 sti to add a plug and play harness for a new amp and subwoofer. When input it back in everything works fine except now my apple carplay doesnt show up. I can still play music through the usb output on my phone but I was just wondering if you had any input on what i possibly did. Maybe i didnt plug the usb from the back of the head unit in enough? All the starlink telematics still work as well.
