Hello, I have a 2016 Forster with starlink stereo and reverse camera through the stereo. Will the reverse camera still work and automatically switch? What kind of EQ / how many frequency bands can be controlled? Is there an adjustable crossover? Is there an option for a CD/DVD player? Does this ship from US? Thanks!
I’m asking about the 9″ version. Also, does it look like the ones in the photo? Does it stick out any more than the photos? Most now days stick out much further and I wanted to make sure this one looks like the photos.
The photo on our site is the real picture taken from the car after installation of our unit.
Our unit does not support your factory oem camera as the plug is different, but our unit supports an aftermarket HD camera which just costs US$25. It has DSP amp built-in, you can adjust the sound quality in many different ways in settings > DSP, I just sent you an email with some photos about DSP settings. For a large screen unit, DVD player is not available anymore.
Can you tell me which head units you have that will replace the oem unit in a 2016 Subaru Forester limited edition with the Harman Kardon and nav configuration? The top vent outlets have the silver edges and there is only the hazard button between the vents.
Hi, this head unit fits your car.
