I recently bought a 2012 Subaru Forester and hated the stock head unit. So, I bought a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX stereo, dash kit, and Maestro steering wheel controls module from Crutchfield. Needless to say their instructions were severely lacking and this video really saved my bacon. Your brake down of which wire goes where and why was excellent and exactly what I needed to finish the install. Thank you so much, it really helped.

I did this same install on my impreza with the steering wheel controls. When volume is up, Siri randomly gets triggered. This a potential wiring issue? Controls work right otherwise, just that random Siri interruption. Super helpful video also! Watched your back up cam one too to get that in 👌🏽

This would most likely also apply to the current WRX/STi, since it's pretty much the same except for the fact that it has a touchscreen, and would also work for standard Imprezas up to 2016. :)

This method does not work for the 2015+ WRX/STI that have a touch screen unit. There are hidden screws behind the dash you must remove the driver and passenger side inner kick panels to get to these screws.

Great video, this was really helpful with my 2012 Impreza Sport. Only difference is that the HVAC controls are electric instead of mechanical (wire harness instead of cables) so you dont have any cables to unhook. Now, my installation failed though. No power to radio upon reconnecting the battery... everything else seem to work. What should I verify? Ground? 12v?

Yes, as that was the original Aux harness which wasn't going to be retained via that plug. The Maestro AUX / USB adapter was used instead (info in description)

I installed a Sony xav-ax3000 in my 13 Impreza 2.0. Used an Axxess kit to retain steering but it didn’t work. Apparently a Sony head units don’t play nice with the adapters and the Subaru controls. Would this steering control module work as a replacement or is it more specifically best used with a pioneer head unit?
