BRZ HEADUNIT FIRMWARE

My BRZ's headunit won't work because it need the SD Card. I was wondering if I could download the firmware anywhere online and just do it myself. Or would I will I have to go to the dealership?

What? My headunit works without an SD card installed. I don't understand your question, I guess. Can you elucidate?

Well, I bought my car crashed and I guess it was before the dealer installed the "code" or whatever its called. So I can't use my radio or anything else.

I haven't seen the firmware posted online for download anywhere. I also didn't see the sdcard listed on the subaruparts.com website.

I'd just visit your dealer and get one from them. I assume the car is out of warranty?

Yah... from what I heard it's a few hundred dollars. If so I might just look into a new headunit... If there was a way for someone to upload there card so I can just put it on another SD card that might work
