Stinger HR9-SB001 9-Inch Trapezoid Radio Replacement Kit for Subaru Forester SH and Impreza 2007–2012

The Stinger HR9-SB001 is a radio replacement bundle designed for the installation of a 9-inch trapezoid aftermarket head unit into the Subaru Forester SH Series and Impreza (including WRX) from 2007 to 2012. The kit includes a 9-inch flush fit radio panel, steering wheel control retention interface with patch lead and antenna adaptor. This kit is for non-navigation models only, and phone button functions on the steering wheel are not retained even if the vehicle is equipped with them.

Product overview

The HR9-SB001 covers the Subaru Forester SH and Impreza GE, GH, GR and GV chassis from 2007 to 2012, including the WRX variant. The plug-and-play SWC interface connects to the factory 20-pin connector and retains the factory audio steering wheel controls with select aftermarket head units. Memory is retained after a power loss. A factory-to-aftermarket antenna adaptor is also included.

Two fitment qualifiers apply to this kit. First, the HR9-SB001 is designed for non-navigation Forester and Impreza models only vehicles equipped with the factory navigation system are not compatible. Second, while the SWC interface retains audio controls, it does not retain the phone button functions on the steering wheel if the vehicle is equipped with them. Both of these points should be confirmed against the specific vehicle before purchasing.

Features and benefits

Covers Subaru Forester SH and Impreza GE/GH/GR/GV 2007–2012 including WRX: A single kit covers the Forester SH and the full Impreza chassis range of this generation including the WRX variant.

Plug and play SWC retention: Connects directly to the factory 20-pin Subaru connector, retaining factory audio steering wheel controls with select aftermarket head units. Memory is retained even after a power loss.

Phone buttons not retained: The SWC interface retains audio controls only. Steering wheel phone button functions are not retained if the vehicle is equipped with them.

Antenna adaptor included: A factory-to-aftermarket antenna adaptor is included, covering the antenna connection without a separate purchase.

Non-navigation models only: This kit is designed for Forester and Impreza models without the factory navigation system. Navigation-equipped models are not compatible.
