I saw this online and it may interest those that have the more recent Subarus.

It does not have one for older models and I am OK with my current JDM Panasonic Strada and I use it for my CDs (audiophile) and reversing camera. If I am to update, there are head units that can play FLAC but my passengers are all looking for an AUX input or a bluetooth connection. If I am to update, I may go with JVC touch as it has everything plus the CD player. Cheers.
 
Just put tablet there and it will be better in specs beter in screen and will play anything and like 3 times cheaper.
 
I am not a fan of the item. It's an Android unit that controls the entertainment and the HVAC system as well. When the device becomes unsupported, it will be a platform for an attack.

The best solution for SG models like yours is the top cubby housing with a 7" Android headunit. No CD though.

I've been running this setup since 2016 and it's worth it for the money to bring the venerable SG foz to more modern specs. I just bought this one yesterday they had an 18% off sale couldn't resist. . https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-l...avigation-system-with-built-in-4g-module.html

This actually looks like a good option. I will have a look at their range. Cheers.
 
be aware the unit may be slightly bigger than the Subaru deck, which means you will need to dremel out the fascia to fit.
