Not sure if this is relevant anymore but I was finally able to upgrade the POS Clarion/Starlink HU in my 2016 BRZ. Went to Car Toys and they had the perfect solution. Kenwood Dmx905s with a special dash kit they found on Crutchfield. Had to add a separate Sirius/XM tuner. No problem there. Existing rear cam and SXM roof antenna integrated just fine. The best part was the Maestro idatalink. This interfaced with the OBD-II port and I get real time data that I didn't know was possible. I couldn't be happier. Wireless android auto (yes, wireless) works flawlessly with my Pixel 2 XL. It's like I have a brand new car. There seems to be a discrepancy between the dash avg. MPG and what the computer is sending across through the idatalink. I'll have to look into that... Happy camper!
