This is what I believe too that it's the same. I don't think there is a lot to replace, the starlink module etc should all hook up. The questionable items are the lack of Maestro RR2 support and steering wheel controls.

But the Japanese owner I talked to said steering wheel controls work with his aftermarket head unit. And if the car is the same maybe Maestro RR2 support could at least be mostly complete?

My only thing is where are people finding these parts, I don't want to take everything apart only to realize I need some module for the steering wheel.

And also perhaps the biggest thing is I don't know what the deal with housing an aftermarket unit would be. There were dash kits from gen one, and people are doing it with gen 2 but I don't know the part number for it. Also I don't know if it would accommodate a floating display without having a huge gap in the back.

Replacing the head unit would only basically eliminate the app for Starlink/MySubaru but would not get rid of the Starlink functionality. You'd just miss things like maintenance alerts etc which is no big deal.

Also, it seems like every vehicle-related setting in the stock head unit can be altered in the gauge cluster display anyway so again no loss there.
