WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

Nope. There's currently no adapter on the market to make it work with the '16 harness. The AX-TOYUSB-1/2 will NOT work with a 2016 starlink Subaru.

I used the existing one for people with the square dashboard holes, so there's some gaps. It looks acceptable for the time being until someone releases ones made for the new dash style.

You don't need the dash kit to mount your radio to the car, so don't waste your money on it unless you don't mind the look.

Existing radio guides for the 2013-2015 BRZ will tell you to wire the blue power antenna wire on the Toyota Metra 70-1761 to your blue/white remote power (System Remote Blue/White on Pioneer decks) to turn on the door speaker amps. This is incorrect for 2016 models. You need to wire your blue/white remote power wire to the 9th pin (Brown wire) of the 28 pin data harness, which is the 3rd wire harness coming out of the car. This harness is for the backup camera, the integrated mic, the door amp power, and more.

For the reverse camera to work you need a voltage regulator to step down the 12v power from the car harness to 6v, the required voltage for the OEM rear view camera. I suggest buying this: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CGQRIFG"]Amazon.com: DROK® Waterproof High Efficiency Car Power Converter DC12V to 6V/3A Step Down Voltage Module 9-22V to 6V Power Supply: Electronics[/ame]
Splice into your 12V accessory power wire to the red 12v INPUT wire of the regulator and wire the black ground wire to the black INPUT ground wire on the regulator. Wire the yellow 6v OUTPUT wire of the regulator to pin 11 of the 28 pin harness (this will power on the OEM camera). Wire the black OUTPUT ground wire to pin 22 of the harness (camera ground).

I removed the prewired RCA plug with pins on it from the useless AX-TOYCAM2 harness I had laying around... if you don't have that harness just cut up any old RCA cable and separate the copper ground from the signal wire inside of it. The signal wire is your + (pin 12) and the ground is your - (pin 13) - plug them into their respective holes on the 28 pin harness. I then plugged the other end of the RCA cable into the rear camera input of my Pioneer AVH-x8500BHS. Remember to go into your settings and change the Camera from "Off" to "Battery" (not "Ground"), and set the camera to NTSC under "Video Signal Options"

I test-fitted my new wheels and tires two weekends ago. Back on winters for the next few weeks, but then they go back on, along with coilovers/camber plates/LCAs. I'm excited!!!

HRE FF15. I'm guessing 18", would be interested to know the width/offset/tire. Looks great, like a more sophisticated version of the STi wheels that come with some models.

Correct. HRE FF15 18X9ET40 with 255/35R18 Michelin PSS. They are exactly that. A nicer-looking version of the STi wheels that came with my car. What I like about these is the matte finish matches the matte finish of the STi body kit, so overall it works better. I will be using the STi wheels as winter wheels next season.

Some of my friends jokingly gave me a hard time saying, "Why would you spend all that money just for wheels that look the same as the ones that came with the car!" but once one of my friends saw them on the car in person, he agreed it was a significant upgrade in the looks department, lol.

Sooo, since it's supposed to be warm for the rest of the month, I gave up and switched back to summer wheels/tires permanently today, lol. #toosoonjunior
