I just installed a Pioneer 2300NEX in my 2017 BRZ Premium Limited.

What’s needed

Maestro RR to keep steering wheel controls as well to get some decent sensor output

IDatalink SU2 harness. From what I’m hearing the new SU2 harness does not require any mods if used with a factory amp. It’s best to call Tech support to confirm, I don’t think their instructions have been updated.

Satellite Radio antenna adapter AutoHarnessHouse.com p/n AHH-XM1

Four pin USB adapter
Axxessinterface.com
p/n AX-SUBUSB

AM/FM antenna adapter
Metra p/n 40-LX11. Note: my 2017 BRZ does not have a power boosted antenna so there’s no need to connect the power wire that comes with this adapter.

Note: if you’re retaining the factory Aux pot than the Maestro audio cable is not required.

Regardless if your BRZ has a factory amp or not the BNC audio ends may need to be cut. Wire the harness into the the new head units main connector. It seems that there isn’t sufficient power in the BNC connections to get decent sound. This is what I found, other head units may be different.

I hope this helps
