Product features

Base model Subarus from 2012 to 2015 came without the factory touch screen, which calls for a different kit. The Aerpro AKSU1 mounts a 9 inch trapezoid shaped head unit in the Forester, Impreza and XV that do not have the factory 6.1 inch screen.

Wheel buttons are kept, phone button included, while the factory USB, AUX and any reverse camera are not carried across.

Problems it solves

  • Ordering the wrong Subaru kit. AKSU1 is for cars without the 6.1 inch screen; screen equipped cars take the AKSU2.
  • A big new screen with no way to answer calls from the wheel. The SWC interface harness and patch lead keep the phone button working.
  • Poor radio reception after the swap. An antenna adaptor is included.

AKSU1 specifications

  • Vehicles: Forester SJ 2013 to 2014, Impreza GP and GJ 2012 to 2014, XV 2012 to 2015
  • Factory screen: models without the 6.1 inch touch screen
  • Head unit: 9 inch trapezoid shape
  • Retained: steering wheel controls with phone button
  • Not retained: reverse camera, AUX, USB, factory amplifier, vehicle menu

Fitment and compatibility

Base models without the 6.1 inch touch screen: Forester SJ (2013 to 2014), Impreza GP and GJ (2012 to 2014) and XV (2012 to 2015).

What is in the box

  • Black fascia
  • Steering wheel control interface harness
  • SWC patch lead
  • Antenna adaptor

Install notes

Order an Aerpro APP8 secondary ISO harness, sold separately, since the head unit ISO harness is not supplied.

Pioneer owners should ignore the CAN Bus Adapter prompt when the unit first boots, then go into the menu and set the wheel controls to With Adapter.

Warranty

This comes with the manufacturer's warranty through the Australian distributor. See the manufacturer's terms for details, plus our guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
