Hello All,

Long time lurker first time questioner.

I just mostly installed a new kenwood head unit. I have a 2018 BRZ 50th anniversary (I believe its a premium). I had a few loose ends I’m trying to tie up. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

1. Do I need to connect the starlink wire? I’m not sure I ever clicked that icon in 2 years of having the stock head unit.

2. Is there anyway to keep the stock GPS antenna? I’m not sure if there is an adapter available. I’m also not sure there is any benefit to using the stock over the new one.

3. Basically the same question but with the Satellite radio. I’m guessing I need a receiver. So the stock unit must have had the xm receiver built in?

Thank you!
