I was thinking about doing some sort of setup with the factory HU, but I got a 3300BT for $350 and gained BT and all the other options.
I had a stoch HU though so it wasn't worth spending $$$ on products like the clean sweep. If I had factory Navi and BT, I think the clean sweep or a product like it would make financial sence because you can't get an aftermarket HU with Navi and BT for $300, you could spend the money saved on better speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers.. and if you keep the factory HU, you definitely need something like that to clean up the sound.

Everything looks/works great. Surprising because this is what the headunit was shipped in: |

If you're surprised about the box, you should've seen the inside. Literally nothing protecting the headunit box.
And yes, that is the JDM dash bezel from avojdm. http://www.avojdm.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=153 |

Can someone with a dealer who's talented at using Subaru's parts system ask them to figure out if there are any color options besides 66065SC130 available in the US? Remember to check both Impreza and Forester.

That JDM kit looks really good, but I finished my 3300BT install yesterday and with the kit from Crutchfield, I think it looks sweet too.

I did the same HU in my 2011 WRX
Great unit and even better sound. Tons of features and I got the Ipod usb to interface with my 4S and works great.

Does anyone know, if I buy the JDM dash trim piece, do I need to purchase any other kind of dash kit to put the radio in, or will it just go in with that alone?

Nothing else to buy. You just need to relocate some clips (5 i think), the vents and use the brackets from the stock H/U. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Say what you will, but this was a reasonable pain in the ass haha (probably because I was rushing the hell out of the process and it was my first go at this). Well it's in. I don't have a disc out here but I'm pretty sure I the brake bypass is setup (I got the "press okay if your car is in park" message), and the SwC work. BT SWC are defaulted to track/station up/down and mute, just like others have had. I notice some high pitch noise when im flipping through the menus and no sound goign through the system, so sooner or later i'l have to take it out and check the connections. I ended up not soldering since I wanted to make sure it worked first, so now maybe I'll go ahead and do that. As far as BT, my buddy couldn't hear me on BT call but I'm not sure yet if that was a bad signal area or if it's my mic setup (or lack there of). BT music sounds pretty solid. I took the vents out for the extra space.... WORST mistake ever for me . I can't get it back in for the LIFE of me. I said screw it and just tacked everything back in for the time being without the vent piece back there. My issue is that once the center vent piece was removed, both sides of the vent (in the dash) pushed out into the center. Trying to get the vent piece back in the dash is near impossible now. Might snap some pics later to help show my issue. |

badz! deep breath, dude......
first install is always a bit of a pain in the ass. reprogramming the BT SWC will only take a couple minutes. not sure what to say for the high pitch noise you're hearing. good idea to check connections as you said Where is your BT mic located? and not trying to be a smartass, but is it plugged in and if so, is it in the correct jack? As for your vents, i had that issue also, the first time. Easy solution: of the 2 pieces of the vent duct work that you said pushed out to the center, pick a side and push it in and pull back gently and make it catch so it doesn't protrude. this will allow you to slide back in the vent piece you removed, starting on that side. once you get the other side aligned correctly, and have the little plastic peg in the hole, you can use a screwdriver or anything long and thin to help reposition the part of the vent that you temporarily tucked out of the way. it will take a few minutes to get the vent parts back into position, but it is possible. deep breath, and don't punch anything. If none of that makes sense, PM me and i'll try to re-explain |

For the vents, I tried taping the duct's to the interior walls, but sounds like you're recommendation takes that idea to the next level. I'll probably give it a shot tomorrow after work. Thanks for the idea and I'll definitely let you know how it works out. The BT mic is clamped right in front of my gauges on that bottom lip (above the steering wheel). I was outside my apartment when I called and I usually get 0-2 bars of service so I'm not surprised about the call quality yet. I'll give it a fair shake sometime tomorrow. |

BTW I just did this exact job a week ago and the vent is a little bit of a PITA, but you just need to take your time, not be in a rush, and do one side at a time. I put the vent piece back in BEFORE final installation of radio. Otherwise it would have been next to impossible. Maybe do this- disconnect negative battery terminal, pull radio back out, disconnect all wiring, (because something is very screwed up)... install vent piece, then carefully go through wiring one by one and fix your problem. No need to solder either. I used butt-connectors and a crimper. If you don't have them, get a 100 pack of 16 guage connectors and a crimper. Do it that way, then solder one connection at a time later when you're positive everything works, or leave it connected with crimp connections. |

BT mic works good I was told. I made a call to a buddy on the road yesterday during lunch and he said he could hear me, so the other day must have just been a bad cell service area. I'm debating on hooking up the USB and a 3.5mm wire to my glovebox just because the features are there. Google Music streams pretty descent on BT but Pandora kinda sucks sometimes so I might consider a 3.5mm hookup as a backup option. One last thing I noticed was FM radio gets worse reception in the Pio than it did in the stock. I wired the power antenna wire as described here but I'll have to take another look I guess. |

Hey glad it's working out.
I also noticed worse reception. but I know the antenna amp is hooked up. I also notice it has better reception in some ways too- like it can pull in stations from much farther away that the stock HU could never get at all, but closer stations seem to not come in as good in areas where they fade out a little. I wonder if the antenna amp is getting enough power? I might hook up a second relay, like the one for the hand brake mod, but use a switched power source and hook up output side to the antenna amp. |
