How much of the system gets replaced and how much must be retained seems to be a question. The head unit, the speakers, the audio amplifier unit (specific to the HK), and the Starlink module are all apparently interdependent in various ways that need to be well understood by the installer. I've read horror stories (on this forum) about botched attempts to upgrade these systems. Replacing the HK head unit requires specialized knowledge that I don't have, but which others here do. I know this is all speculation, but think there is much of a chance that Subaru will be able to release a retrofit or a system upgrade that will allow for ACP on an older model in the future? Would a Subaru dealer do this and would that help to retain as much of my warranty as possible?Īdditionally, in replacing a HU, how much do you lose in the functionality of the steering whee controls? What about climate control, as those are right next to the HU? Bluetooth and voice commands should all work as long as the unit purchased has those features? Obviously the HU I replace with would not be under warranty, any other risks of voiding the warranty? I know absolutely nothing about cars, so I would certainly not be installing something like this myself. Hoped for a magic solution but as I expected! I just bought this 2017 at a Subaru dealer it is Subaru certified, has a 7 year, 100k mile power train warranty, and I purchased a bumper to bumper warranty (in part because of all the electronics on it) for the same time/mileage frame. Toughest part was squeezing the telemetric unit for STARLINK down below. I did buy a dual USB connector and used a step drill and placed in the cubby hole opposite from the 12vdc connector so it looks like it belongs. Idatalink has some new connectors that will retain them. What I lost but with the new Rr2 it can be retained are the USB and Aux ports in the console. Since I am cheap I only use the free music apps on local drives but I will burn a USB stick for traveling music. I am using iOS 14 beta on the phone and it works. Starlink works and I use the map feature (google, Apple,and Waze) plus a Tom-Tom if I am traveling. I only have a couple of gauges that work as I used Rr and some t-taps on can lines. Since I use the Apple garden with iPhone, iPad and Macs it was a no brainer! The Scoche face plate was for me better than the Metra it fit perfectly. I did research what would work and what would be missed. He worked at an audio shop that did install in cars and homes In his youth. I upgraded my 2018 Premium to a Kenwood 9904s with help of my son.
