Passenger-side grab from the top and the bottom and just pull an event for the – around the stereo I just grab from the side where it connects to the passenger side and pull it off

I have it in my the Subaru XV Crosstrek. I like it. I wouldn't pay money for it even though it does everything I would expect it to. But it was standard so whatever. I still use my iPhone for GPS.

All I want is waze panel mounted. Why I'm trying to find a hack for the stock unit to do it, IDK

Two pieces of false carbon fiber, one surrounds the radio, one is on the passenger side. Grab the right one from the bottom, pull up and towards you at the same time, it will pop out, the other one yanks right out from there.

No you don't, you have the Crosstrek's version of it, which isn't the same.

If you're hesitant to even pull the trim, you don't want to know what you'll have to go through to do this. Since there's no app, and it will suck anyway even if they do release an app, the only current way would be to figure out some super hacky way to wire it into the reverse camera video input.

Thank you, I didn't realize my Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid Touring was indeed a Subaru XV Crosstreck Hybrid Touring and not a GT86. It is just so confusing because the GT86 has the standard double din stereo while the XV has a proprietary center console which incorporates the much larger touch screen and climate controls so you can understand how I was confused.

Well I'm much more comfortable with computers/programming than I am with interior stuff. I guess I'm just afraid of it not looking the same when I go to put it back. I am going to do it when I have a day off though.

You're right @Luftwaffel though that was actually really easy and painless. More information in a day or two.



On a side note I have been enjoying my 4mos free trial of XM. I found my favorite station to listen to on JetBlue too..

So getting the little bugger out was actually pretty easy. Like @Luftwaffel and @ibroskee said just squeeze the bottom upwards of the passenger side carbon-fiber dash cover (gentle it doesn't much at all) and it will come off easily in your hand. The piece over the radio comes off easiest from right left again with just gentle pressure. The radio is held in place by 4 10mm bolts. The wires in the back are color-coded and shape specific so don't worry about what goes where too much. The little black (GPS antenna, thank you @ibroskee) wire is the shortest one so I recommend taking that one off first and putting it on last. Other than that is cake really.



There is one extra plug that isn't even long enough to reach the radio but is part of that same wiring setup, I'm curious what that is for.



With it off you can see the real model numbers and I guess it is indeed still a Clarion in my case, not a Fujitsu-Ten (I'll update the OP later).



You'll also find a QR code that comes up with the same Subaru part #



And your XM radio ID, which you can find through your software so no need to take it all apart for that info but it is there.

This happens to be the only post I read, just popped in quick but if you want to run waze look into the Ca-Fi headunit. I run waze on that and love it
