More drivers are aware of the importance of using a large touchscreen radio system in their cars. Not only the touchscreen head unit looks beautiful, but it’s super easy to use and provides various awesome functions.
Due to the different car models, the installation of an aftermarket radio is different. Some is very simple, some is little hard. Last week, I just upgraded my 2009 Subaru Forester radio to the Seicane Carplay head unit, I am sharing the replacement guide here, maybe you can get some tips from it.
Notes:
Radio model: The Seicane H2023N-P, for 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Subaru Forester stereo upgrade.
Tools: Plastic pry tools, screwdrivers.
For safety, you must power off the car before doing anything.
How to replace the Subaru Forester factory radio?
The original radio system looks like this,
Step 1, Use a plastic pry tool to remove the radio frame.
Step 2, Remove these 4 screws that fixed the radio unit.
Step 3, Take down the radio unit, and disconnect its plugs.
Step 4, Remove the A/C outlet of the radio frame, then install the outlet to the Seicane radio system.
Step 5, Next, you can connect the new radio to the car via the new cables.
Step 6, Install the new radio to the dash, and turn on your car to test it.
Step 7, If the new unit can’t be turned on, please double check whether there is issue about the wiring. Or you can contact Seicane for help.
What I benefited from this Seicane Radio Head Unit?
The fact is my drives get better since installing the touchscreen Android radio.
This unit equips a 9-inch IPS screen and Android 11 system, being able to provide a super fast and smooth operation. What’s more, the big screen also brings great vision when watching videos and using navigation.
One of powerful functions is that it comes built-in Carplay, which means you can quickly connect your phone the radio, then you can freely use the phone’s apps like making calls, listening to phone music etc. on the radio screen.
Another great function of the head unit is that we can install and connect a rear view camera to the car, the radio will display the rearview images automatically when we reverse and park the car, helping us park car conveniently and safely.
Whatever your car is, when there is touchscreen head unit, your journey must be great.
