Greetings touku!
You are correct, there are 8 speakers in the factory configuration: A 4" paired with a 1" on the top ends of the dash. A 4" in the outside walls behind the front seats. A 6" in each of the doors. The factory HU has four speaker level outputs: Front L&R and Rear L&R. Pretty standard stuff. The secret is that there is a small amplifier located under the carpet in the trunk near the base of the seat back. This amp drives the two 6" speakers in the doors. I believe this amp is driven off the HU front speaker outputs along with the dash speakers. Here is an excellent thread with more connector information: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128374 You may also glean some information about the amp and it's wiring here: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42239 Keep in mind that the factory Toyota radio is sourced from Pioneer and replacing it with a Pioneer AVH-ZL5150 is "keeping it in the family" so to speak. The rear channel impedance shouldn't be an issue since there is only one speaker per channel. Since we don't know the input impedance of the trunk amp, it would be difficult to determine the load presented to the HU by the speakers and amp in whatever configuration they are wired. But, I can tell you from personal experience that the AVH-ZL5150 works well and is a great improvement in both function and audio quality in a 2017 86. There is, of course, still room for improvement with some better speakers . . . |

The AVH-ZL5150 has excellent sound quality compared to stock but lacks in a lot of other places in my opinion. It’s a pretty basic unit with CarPlay and Android Auto features. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes, I should clarify - All of my music is played from a USB memory stick. The playlist and file/folder navigation with the factory HU just aggravated me to no end. I don't use and haven't even attempted either Android Auto or CarPlay. If I recall, the AVH-ZL5150 only does USB wired AA or CP. No wireless.
So yes, Juzzotec makes a good point if you intend to stream from your phone. |

Completely understand, the stock headunit was terrible for USB music navigation. I think what really let me down about this unit was the simple things that are lacking. Even uploading a picture file as a background made it look pixelated, something the stock unit was capable of in high quality. Try it for yourself. So basically you cannot customise it to your 86/BRZ.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When I read your earlier post about the background images I intended to try it but unfortunately I had to swap the 86 for my "Kluger" until the Northern Hemisphere warms up again. But it will happen.

My installation experience
I've finished installing the unit. Microphone is connected, but not affixed to a permanent location; I left it in the small stowage space right next to the AUX/USB for now. I'll probably decide on what to do with mic later.
Total USD cost not counting general purpose tools: $434.46 for HU + $102.50 for the wiring harness = $536.96. I went with LimitedSlip's instructions as I own a 2017 86. A few comments and gotchas from my personal installation experience, some about general procedure and some specific to this head unit: General comments
Comments specific to this unit/harness

Hey touko!
Good to hear you made it through the installation. Just a thought about this. I don't have ready access to my 86 right now (see post #103, above) but I may have been able to eliminate the "reversed" message by turning off the Pioneer's "Parking Assist Guide" (Owners Manual, page 38). The factory backup camera generates its own guide lines so having another set turned on in the Pioneer is not necessary and just adds clutter to the image. As I said, I'm not certain if this disables the "reversed" message but check it out. |

Looks like there is very limited stock left from Pioneer. There’s a small handful of Aussie websites that still have it in stock, but as for shipping to Canada, I’m not sure...

Doesn't ship to Canada, that's why it wasn't showing up in my searches. Found a non 200mm, but available in stores locally, model that also supports wireless airplay/android auto, going to check it out soon to see how it looks/feels in person.

Not cheap, but an option nonetheless. Subaru Part number is H0017CA900.
