When I plug into that hub it the new headunit says "Hub not supported" If I plug the head unit straight into the pink or blue usb from the brz the ports don't do anything (not even charge). Does anyone know how to at least get the usb ports working for charging?

For charging, I'd look to power the hub from something other than the radio even if it did support the hub. You'll get more amperage from a real charging circuit.
You can use either a Cig to USB adapter in the outlet behind the glove box, and mount the hub wherever, and run a cable to it.

Or, you can install a 5v converter to any 12v DC line and do the same.

The headunit USB is really meant for data, so keeping it for things like thumbdrives is ideal.
