Sony XAV-AX100? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mrbbs · 08-17-2017, 03:24 PM

Does anyone know where I can buy dash kits for the 2018 Subaru BRZ?
I have been looking and asking at Crutchfield en Scosche but they don't do it.

I'm also looking to fit the Sony XAV-AX100. The AX200 DVD edition is coming out September 10th but I don't need that..

The current consensus seems to be to get the Canadian trim piece and a Toyota install kit (or 200mm Toyota specific head unit).

Thanks for the fast answer!

I have this crap radio unit and side pieces.
The Canadian trim piece look great but the Sony unit is smaller at 178mm.
Maybe I should just order the 2013-2016 BRZ radio inserts..

It blows my mind that no one has made a nice dash piece with a standard double din opening....

The Kenwood DDX916WS and DDX917WS fit this car perfectly with no spacers, but they are kind of pricey and you have to order from out of the US. I love the unit though.

I agree. I was hoping Subaru Japan offered a double-din trim like the GR WRX, but nope.

Spray painted the spacers but looks pretty good to me!

Magnet phone mount is amazing, btw.

That's how my setup looks like, just black.

Hey buddy could you share what you have to buy in addition to the head unit itself to do the install?

Cheers, Brian

Other than some butt connectors and a USB cable for your phone, you'll need these two items:

Metra 40-LX11

Beat-Sonic BH1

In case anyone is considering a Sony unit, I want to express one small incompatibility. The backup camera lines on my 2016 US-model BRZ are apparently governed by the stock headunit rather than by the camera itself, so I need to set the Sony ones, but they can't be aligned perfectly.

The XAV-AX series (AX100 in my case) has adjustable parking lines/guides, but they only adjust in width and height. You cannot translate them left and right. Since the stock backup cam is offset by ~12-18" from the centerline of my car, I cannot adjust the Sony's lines appropriately.

Probably not a huge deal to most, but it's really frustrating to me, and something I wish I'd known before purchasing the unit.
