- Want Apple CarPlay in your Subaru? Well today we install a Seicane Android Head unit with apple car play into my Subaru WRX STI! You can do this too and for a great price!
I've been using this head unit for over a week now and im super happy with it! I think that you can beat the value of this android head unit and the fact that I now have apple car play in my Subaru sti is awesome!
Follow me on instagram @beakhan and tik tok @beakhan_
Get the head unit here- www.seicane.co...
Get the usb carplay dongle here- www.seicane.co...
You can change the settings in auto kit so it boots and connects every time you start your car
I have the Kenwood in my pickup. You can set the color to steady lol.
Starts video: If you have a Subaru!
Me: looks outside window at rsx-s
*continues watching because the content is still great*
hahahaa thank you bro!
I really appreciate you for posting this, I been wanting to change my head unit for so long & this is literally the one I want. keep it up 👏🏼
Glad I could help!
@@beakhan 5 months later.. I purchased it & installed. this thing is pretty sick . Thank you for the video & inspiring me
I went with the Idoing headunit !
That kenwood is actually a really good head unit, to this day it’s still a really good head unit…
Knew it was a tomei. When you first got the car & I quote “cars too quiet I need a fat tomei screaming out the back” 😭😭😭
lmaoo you got my subtle hint😂😂
Wow, language skills have really declined.
is it still working well now? thinking about getting this one and would like to know the longevity
My head unit is bout to come in. I’m just hoping it’s now flawed or nunn
Fitted a Dasaita HU in my 08 hatch sti 2 years ago,it has wireless CarPlay built in. Great piece of kit 👍
Hey! Where do you put the usb wire + dongle? Does it hang out of the AC?
WE NEED MORE CONTENT 😭😂😭😂
FYSA - I have the same thing for my 09 Forester ... prepare for the Bluetooth to go out and not work. Prepare for it to freeze all the time and the only thing you can do is pull over and turn the car off and on again.
i hope mine doesnt do that😅
@@beakhan I hope yours doesn't either - but after getting mine - I did more research and a LOT of people have the same issue. ALSO - be prepared for the reverse camera (if you install one) to not work properly - mine doesn't automatically change to the camera when put into reverse - even though everything is wired up correctly (pictures and video sent to Seicane and they confirmed); only thing I can do is use the "FCAM" app and manually show the camera. They were good about replying to any issues - but could NEVER solve any problems :/
People always talk shit about android but just see one of the thousands applications of android there.
They also make a version of the CarPlay dongle that’s wireless, also that app has a auto boot feature that you can turn on
Link please
link??
You got the link?
Was literally thinking when you were going to post next 🤤
best first mod imo. looks so clean
100% agree!
I have the same head unit. Thanks to your video, I now know how to get the Apple CarPlay to work. Def ordering the USB adapter tonight! Thanks!
happy to help!
just when i thought ur channel couldn't get any better
just wait for what we have in store👀
So I got this same head unit for my 2013 WRX hatch everything works great but I can’t get Bluetooth to work for CarPlay anyone know how to get It to work
yo question where did you find the autokit app i cannot find it on the play store :O
Definitely getting one soon as my car gets out of the shop
thanks man just ordered one for my fozzy! glad i got the entire kit .
Be careful with the squeak on your clutch. Get it checked out by the dealer then after call Subaru of America and hassle them about it. The squeak is the spot welds that are coming apart and once they’re gone your clutch will be completely disconnected, dangerous/fatal if you’re on the fwy. There may be a recall on it.
There is now a fix for it.. Humble Rumble Firewall Fix - youtube
Hahaha I have one those on my sti😂 i agree it makes the Interior so much better !!!! Loving the videos ❤️🤟🏻
thanks bro❤️
how's the unit holding up?
“If it isn’t a Tomei, it ain’t it boyyyyy”
is dat a tomei dahhh 😂😂
I'll be getting my head unit installed next week!!!!!
Good video bro!
I hope to see more of your content, greetings from Guatemala!
Every radio I've ever owned has color settings so you can match the color best or perfectly to the stock interior, also don't care if it looks dated it's about the audio quality for me.
You say driver experience mod. I am also going down the rabbit hole of reliability mods. Fluidampr crank pulley, iwire grounding as part of the big 3, etc.
Finally, a new video 🥳 🎊 🎉
Do you still like the head unit 9 months later?
car is sold now but I loved it until the day I sold it haha
Also, there’s a 3G/4G one?? The home screens look different too. Clean AF!
So sick! Do the steering wheel buttons work?
sup bro i got the same head unit but i got a question for ya.. i tried looking up for that app on the unit and i can't seem to find it is there another app i can use?
Are you still able to keep your steering wheel controls with this head unit
For anyone wondering or coming to this post these radios are scam I REPEAT DO NOT ORDER THESE RADIOS !!!! no hate on the video or the creator of the video just say 500+ reviews on this radio and they all got scammed including me 😑
im sorry you got scammed, i wasnt sponsored or anything I paid for this full out of my own pocket and still love the headunit. I cant agree that its a scam because it worked out well for me but im sorry that you got scammed, i would definitely recommend reaching out to the card company you paid with!
I have the same one. I’m having issues. You can’t use wireless CarPlay?
Tomei, The Engine Specialist
Does your car comes with H&K system. I have a 2016 FXT and the crapy radio just died. it keeps rebooting and rebooting.. I want to keep original amp and speakers. Do I have to buy some additional connectors for using this radio? Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same head unit in my WRX for about 2 years now. Those other wires are for other features you can add to the unit, like GPS, TPMS monitoring, rear view camera, eta... I love my radio.
What year is ur wrx did it fit fine ?
@@WrxDreww I have a 2011 and it’s a perfect fit. Just had to tell them which model I had so that they could send the correct wire harness.
Does it have hands free calling?
How did you do the rear view camera
Where did you get your stereo?
Super cool man! I need to do something similar in my 07!
The best radio For subaru T’eyes the best
Looking to buy this but do the steering control buttons work for the radio still?
mine doesnt 😕
You know you can set the colour to a static colour on that Kenwood unit right... lol
never knew that loll
Yooo! Does it come with the steering wheel controlled wire connector?
Have you got the exact link for that head unit? As I have a hatchback so it will straight fit?
Nice unit can’t wait to install it in mine. Did you tune for it👀
😅Subaru joke
😂😂😂😂
Did this make the stock subwoofer sound better? Id like to improve the bass in my car from stock without having to put in a sub.
Gotta say great unit 🔥🔥👏🏾
Always love radio upgrades.
So your phone has to be plugged up to get the apple car play?
I ended up getting rid of my Seicane radio. It died after a year and was having issues from day one. Their customer support was horrendous.
Hey dude. Very nice head unit. You think if I buy one it would fit in my 2001 Subaru Forester?
Does your clutch pedal squeak every time you press it? If so your welds on the firewall might be broken.
it does haha, do i just have to take it off and get it re welded?
@@beakhan there's a couple of things you could do depending on how bad it is.
This link should help
www.humblerumble.ca/
Lol I was wondering the same thing
Can you use just normal Bluetooth to play music from an iPhone?
So I know he said aftermarket speakers so does that mean I’ll be able to hook my subs up to it
yes
You realize you can change the colors on the kenwood
Is this the same head unit for wrx, not Sti I assume it is from the obvious looks of it but I just want to be sure !? 2014 wrx hatchback
Como
Le conecto un amplificador a ese estéreo o cómo encuentro el cable remoto para el amplificador gracias
Steering wheel controls? Does that plug and play or is there a dongle for that too?
Im installing the LEX android 9 in my 08 impreza right now hope it works
I have the same unit in my 2011 Subaru Impreza. Were you ever able to get the steering wheel controls to work? I cannot get mine to work!
Has anyone else had this unit operate way too hot? If so , is there anything I can do ? Please help. Thanks
Are those climate control dials aftermarket or stock? Either way I need some lol
stock!
@@beakhan I kinda figured they were stock but mine came with these ugly cheap looking ones for some reason😅
Hi, from everything I've seen this headunit is really nice and a no brainer! My 09 legacy has the Harman kardon system, will it work with it?🙏
i believe so, it should just plug into your oem wire harness which uses all the speakers in the car
This company has some bad reviews. Can we get an update on this head unit.
the link in your description is for a Forester. I just want to make sure this will fit the impreza aswell. I have an 08 impreza gtx hatchback
I just bought it for my 09 Impreza I’m pretty sure it fits broski
Does it has that long boot time every time you turn on car?
From you video in the link of your bio I ordered the same product you have and in that bio link they haven’t gave me my order and it’s been a week and they haven’t sent my order and they already took my money out of my bank account. Is the link you posted called seicane and is it a scam because they haven’t sent me anything
Did you retain your steering wheel button functionality?
no but I didn’t bother to even connect the wires because I have an aftermarket steering wheel in it now
@@beakhan what about the center console aux and usb?
@@kaser92337 I have the exact same unit on my 08 STI. I just got my steering wheel controls working today. In case you are wondering, you connect 1 of your steering wheel control wires from your OEM harness to the "key 1" wire on the seicane head unit. The 2nd steering wheel control wire from your OEM harness connects to ground. Key 2 wire on the seicane harness can be left disconnected entirely. Works like a charm!
Where can you get a reverse camera to pair with this?
Which dongle did you use?
Is this the Lexxson branded one off Amazon? Looking to get the same setup.
Is this the quad core cpu version or the 8 core one?
I let mine change colors. I like it…. Lol😂
Can you still use the steering wheel controls for it
Love the vids
thank you bro!
@@beakhan welcome bro
is the extra dongle only for apple phone? if I have android do I need the dongle?
Imagine grabbing the tomei without gloves 🥴
😅
@@beakhan 😂😂
ooo gonna sound good
Do the steering wheel controlled still work?
I have a question do you know if this fits a Subaru 2013 wrx
Fyi with those head units, the mic hole will allow dust to get behind the screen. Also, the microphone isnt the best, especially once you have an exhaust.
interesting 😕
This might be a stupid question 🙄 but I have a 2013 wrx hatch and not an sti, will this tomei exhaust also fit on my car? I’m new to subarus and just learning more, thanks!🤙(if that does fit the same could I get a link to that exact tomei exhaust please)
Yes it will fit search up tomei expreme ti catback just be aware its one of the loudest exhausts for the subi and you will get stopped by cops if you live in an area with high patrol activity
yes the sti hatch and wrxs catbacks are interchangeable! If you want one dm my buddy @highintakeperformance and he will hook you up with one!🤘🏼
@@prodbyahlecks well I’m from florida so cops don’t care about how loud our cars are, but thanks🤙⚡️
@@beakhan thanks bro🤙
Would this same unit work in a 2009 subura impreza outback sport?
Does that head unit have back up camera capabilities?
Yes , need to order the cam
Will the model in the description work with a subaru impreza 2.5i sedan and will it work with Android auto
I bought almost the exact same thing from idoing and mine fried itself in 4 months... I really like how they look but now I’m concerned
Love the video 😂😂
thanks bro!
Where does the usb cable pop out
I have a 2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i do it fit
Does this have hands free calling?
What’s the sound quality watts per channel ?
I also have the same Seicane head unit. How do you change the home screen apps? I want to put the Auto Kit app in the home screen.
hold down the app for a few seconds and it will give you the option to set the app in the home screen!
Would this head unit fit my 2014 wrx hatch?
How did u end up getting 1 they all on back order 😭😭 been trying to get 1
i only had to wait like 2 weeks👀
Does it have Android auto??
Was it really difficult doing the apple car play ?
after updating the software on the car play app it was a piece of cake
@@beakhan What app did you use? im having issues
I can’t get Apple care play to work. Anyone know how to fix it?
