Which harnesses for aftermarket head unit in BRZ?

Does anyone know what brand/part # harnesses work for swapping the head unit on a BRZ? I know some other recent subaru's use the same navi, so it's probably the same harness, but can't find the info after a quick search.

You can buy metra 70-1761 and 71-1761 to make harnesses. search for them on amazon and check out metraonline.com

Yes, the BRZ uses the standard toyota harness for the speakers and power. You will need an antenna adapter to use the AM/FM antenna. The part number escapes me, but I will know later as I have to pick up another one at my audio shop.

I have a question for you that work with audio, I want a pioneer for my frs but I want the mic and hand free capabilities to stay good like now. Also I will like to know if there is a wiring harness to install the radio w/o cuting wires.

Is that available?

Most pioneers come with a microphone that you can run up to your visor and what not. Look for a standard toyota wiring harness made by metra. Also get the lexus antenna adapter made by metra. You could literally wire everything up on a table, and just plug and play into the stock harnesses.
