andrewbaru 3 Report post Posted May 28, 2020 Just a quick note to say hello and a few things I've done/intending on doing which may be of interest: Add a centre arm rest (these are REALLY worth having) - done A lot of research on 2017+ head unit wiring, much of the diagrams out there are only 80% right as they reference generic subaru/toyota wiring or <2017 models - done Hard wire installed a front/rear dashcam (without cutting/splicing OEM wires) - done Replace factory clarion head unit with steering wheel controls retained - done Add a dab aerial that isn't rubbish and/or sticks on your windscreen - done Install reverse camera (without drilling the boot handle or cutting/splicing OEM wires) - done Maybe, possibly, maybe see if I can source and install the mysterious/elusive (H2717CA000) auto wing mirror fold mod - to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewbaru 3 Report post Posted September 4, 2020 Updating my progress, now got a nice aftermarket headunit and reverse cam setup... no OEM wires cut and no drilling 👍 1 Shippers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartinT 514 Report post Posted September 5, 2020 Which head unit did you go for? I ended up with an Eonon and have retained the steering wheel controls and USB socket. Quite a puzzle to get the right adapters and programme the steering wheel learning, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewbaru 3 Report post Posted September 25, 2020 I went for a sony unit with android auto/weblink/car play (it also has steering wheel key learning) And yes, the harnesses can be a conundrum, but basically you need this: https://connects2.co.uk/Product/ProductItem/CTSSU004.2 but especially retaining the usb, as it "kinda depends" which adaptor you need, on most cars/oem head units you need this one... https://axxessinterfaces.com/product/AX-SUBUSB however, mine needed this one... https://axxessinterfaces.com/product/AX-SUBUSB2 which (at the time I bought it anyway) I could ONLY get from america. It would be VERY easy to get caught out by this as the little notch on the socket is ever so slightly different. After reading around, I also discovered this... https://www.tme.eu/en/details/usb.toyota.02/power-car-accessories/per-pic/c8304-usb/ I haven't tested it thoroughly, but apparently, if you have problems with android auto/car play connection, try swapping your USB adapter for a usb.toyota.02, the difference being the first one plugs into the weird OEM usb connector, where as the second one plugs into the back of the head unit (standard usb a) and completely replaces the in dash usb/aux socket Other quirks.... You may need to "deal" with the blue fm antenna wire, not on mine, it's perma wired in, but in general you need the antenna adapter: https://incartec.co.uk/product/Toyota-09--Aerial-adapter-to-din-plug You may not have a reverse or parking brake signal to the 28pin block, I did on mine Don't get me started on the reverse camera, that was fun figuring out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewbaru 3 Report post Posted September 25, 2020 Oh yeah, you also need a fascia adapter, which again depends on the car and year, but for a 2017> brz you need CT23SU15 https://connects2.com/Product/ProductItem/CT23SU15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spikyone 139 Report post Posted September 25, 2020 Missed this when you posted it originally; the mirror kit is available from Japan Parts: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/44085 I've used them a few times and they're very good. I also have the mirror kit and recommend that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
