Please be kind to newbs...lol
Well, all I have is time before my WRX gets here so I decided to start collecting mods and/or parts needed for the mods along with installation details. Rims and tires are pretty straight forward while the TPMS is something I still have to research, part number, best price, etc.
After reading the great post by BuckiWRX and ae64.com's parts needed web page... http://ae64.com/aftermarket-HU-insta...Impreza-BT.htm As far as this thread is concerned, and forgive my many questions but I have NEVER installed a aftermarket radio myself of this complexity...at least superficially, with steering wheel controls, integration with existing OEM inputs, etc etc My goal is to NOT cut ANY wires...is that possible? How does my list look, am I missing anything? Please continue reading my list so you can point out things I might be missing. 1) HU PIONEER AVH-4000NEX What's in the box: 2) Mounting Bracket for aftermarket HU & OEM plug When I had my 2011 WRX I ordered this years ago and at this point I don't have all the details but does this look like the 20 pin connector I will need? UPDATE: Based on the picture I will need a new plug because mine is missing the SWC wires, BuckiWRX mentioned in his post: http://ae64.com/20-pinfwdharness.htm 3) Metra ASWC-1 steering wheel http://www.ebay.com/itm/181363549622...84.m1497.l2649 4) Parking break bypass When I take trips I want the ability to stream TV/DVD for my boys http://www.ebay.com/itm/251511635963...84.m1497.l2649 5) iPhone Pioneer adapter CD-IH202 & Apple Lightning to AV adapter I can't believe they nickel and dime you with this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321379590324...84.m1497.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/111305217355...84.m1497.l2649 6) Axxess AX-TOYUSB To retain the center storage USB. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321350474955...84.m1497.l2649 7) Tools? Remember I'm a newb... I think that's it, please share your thoughts. |

Definately possible to not cut any wires, I did not cut any with my install. You will need a different mounting bracket Metra 99-8905B or Scosche 2029B for the dash. You may need to trim to fit slightly. Your 20 pin connector from you 2011 will work. If you don't have the extra wires added for steering wheel controls you will have to add them, splice into the harness, or buy one from SVXdc. Get yourself a set of plastic trim panel tools, the panels in this car are tighter than in the past and you don't want to scratch them up. They will pay for themselves whether you go cheap or expensive. Beyond that, tool wise depends on your comfort level, soldering iron or crimp tools as both has their ups and downs. I would suggest crimping if you are a newbie to electronics, just remember to get the right size butt splices for the gauge wire and tug on the wires slightly to make sure it's a good crimp. |

Google avic411 and go to the NEX subforum. They have a very easy mod for the parking brake bypass without using any ebay stuff. I have an NEX receiver and it worked flawlessly. Good luck with the install!

I suggest checking into a miracast device to connect wireless. I used a genuine Samsung Allshare cast hub, powered by the head unit's USB. Still able to use second USB port for the wired USB port in the car. This route also allows me to charge my phone (doesn't work with most MHL adapters), have full GPS reception all without having to fumble with any extra wires. My hub is tucked inside the dash, so unless you know about it, you can't even tell. |

I was reading up on connection types...from best to worst...
1) soldering 2) Scotchlok connector 3) crimp connections 4) wire twist/electrical tape As a newbie I leaning to the Scotchlok connector type, thoughts? http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...=5430181&rt=c3 |

I'll have to do some testing on the GPS signal dropping out. If this happens I can use GPS injection and pull the GPS signal from the HU into my phone. |

Thanks guys! For error correction I think posi-lock makes the most sense. I'm in research faze so thanks for all the input.
Now, what wire gauge posi-lock should I get? I'm thinking 14-16 is what I will need to match what's on the car and the wiring harness. Btw, I have not heard back from the ae64 guy...should I be worried? |

Just a FYI before you start your purchases. Note 2 does in fact require the Samsung adapter. The standard MHL converter won't work. Last edited by sebhockey; 05-05-2014 at 11:54 PM. |

AE64 (David) said he's got a long backlog of emails he has to reply to...I've been in touch with him recently and it took about a week to hear back - I wouldn't expect instant replies. |

Awesome install pics, the HU's look great. I have a 2015 STI Limited (w/ HK audio) and looking to replace the HU later this summer. For those that have the HK speakers, how big of an improvement is there in terms of sound quality compared to the factory (piece of crap) HU?

Got an e-mail from AE64 earlier today, he is alive just busy
he is out of AUX jacks to the center console, unknown when he will get more, in the mean time find an alternate AUX jack method. I'll probably just run one to the passenger floorboard for guests in the car, I'll be using my HDMI/USB setup. picked my car up yesterday, as soon as I get my parts ordered/delivered from AE64 and everything else arrives I'll start my install and update |
