Yeah would love 35's but not as ideal for daily duties!

@@BenCad i daily 35s on my JK and it's no problem at all. It doesn't have the same road manners as a jeep on 33s but I been managing it for a few years now and you just get used too it.

Yeah I understand your view. I think when you move to this price point you might argue your expectations on quality increase and therefore can lead to raising issues you may have shrugged off with something cheaper. If you decide to make the jump you may notice a big overall step up in quality. For the Evo tho, the backrest issue at launch was addressed as a fault, so I think pretty much all early adopters had their backrests warrantied. All i can say if it helps is my 2020 is nearly 5 years old now. and this one is 3, and both are still going strong! Hope that helped! Cheers

Awesome! Glad to hear it helped and saved you from a delay! Cheers

There is a known limitation with fader/balance with HK systems at this stage it seems. It’s one I added more info about in this video description too. It doesn’t personally bother me as I don’t ever change those settings. If you haven’t, it’s worth contacting Idoing over it as hopefully they’ll resolve it.

​@@BenCadalso iDoing said they don't have a fix for it. Just a limitation. So I will go with my workaround.

​@@BenCadI'm working on a fix now. Downloaded the service manual. And got the pin outs from the HK amp and pin outs on the iDoing head unit. Basically I am going to disconnect the rear speakers from the HK Amp. And run it directly to iDoing head units rear speaker channel. I already tested it and it works. I have to run wire neatly and what not. But it allows me to fade. Yes the rears won't be powered by the amp anymore. But they sound better than stock connected straight to the iDoing! I feel iDoing pulled a fast one on HK owners because this should be mentioned. Thanks for the awesome video. I used it as a guide to disassemble everything.

@@allenstevenson5986 Hey thats awesome, glad there is a workaround for those with motivation! Yeah my attempt was I mucked around with plugging the rear speakers in via the RCA cords from the iDoing HU and into the OEM loom. It didn;t change anything besides the volume form the speakers. So glad you've found a proper workaround, I guess the other 'fix' is to simply upgrade the whole sound system with proper amps etc. But I doubt many of us are doing that.

Welcome! Glad it helped you!

I don’t think so, you’re really only changing your head unit (audio/infotainment stuff). But my car (wrx STI) doesn’t have remote start or a heated steering wheel.

Welcome 🤗 glad it was helpful!

Thanks Paul, glad to hear it helped you! Cheers

Happy to hear it helped you out Debbie! 😀

Nice! Hope you like it!

Hey, yeah no changes in my opinion really here! Both my 2020 and 2020 Titans are good chairs and still going strong! Still stand by all this here. Perhaps only exception is just sometimes I have my good and bad days with the magnetic headrest, just my opinion of it when I knock it off the seat sometimes. Overall both my chairs are still doing great at 3 and 5 years old (nearly) for both! Both still look as you see them here. Should I produce another video update? Hope that helps you decide anyway! Cheers

Hey mate, thanks! Nothing has really changed since the video really, I did add a few things I forgot in the video description. Overall still very happy with it, it’s the best bang for buck option I’d say. The microphone situation is the systems weak point though, they do provide a few options but regardless people say you’re hard to hear like you’re far away, which is ‘an Idoing thing’ it seems. When I’m motivated I’ll try swapping out the microphone for a good quality lavalier mic which I’ve recorded parts of this video with and see how that goes. I’d defs still recommend it for sure but there are spots for improvement. Cheers!

Awesome! 😀

Glad to hear it’s gone well, I’m unsure on the steering wheel volume settings, can confirm they work fine on mine here, only took 30 seconds to have the controls setup. Perhaps try messaging Idoing before you put yourself through the pain of pulling it back out!

@BenCad I managed to do it all in one night (last night when i made my initial comment), and I was so exhausted after, though. I have it somewhat un clipped at the top so I can easily pull it out. I have messaged idoing so I will wait for them. On the topic of the mic, they said you can retain factory mic, but you have to tap into a 5v source to power it. I'm still waiting on idoing to confirm how exactly. I ran the aftermarket mic from the head unit, and the person I tested said it's not the best, but they seem to be able to hear me. On another note, everything works well, and much like everyone else, it far exceeded my expectations, I do, however, hear a slight static from the car sound system (with Harmon kardon), sounds as if the gain is turned all the way up. Might play around with the audio settings.

What a story! Haha glad to hear you’ve chosen your primary key fob and that the battery replacement process worked for you! Cheers

If it helps.. 2 years-ish later and these arms are still going strong and still look pretty much as they do here. Perhaps that might help your decision. Otherwise it’s a tough call!

Glad to hear this video helped! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah the mic is unfortunate, one day when I’m motivated I’ll connect a good Rhode lav microphone to see if it’s any better. But yeah, also yeah I noticed the fade/balance with Harmon kardon too. I left info on that in the written description.

Glad to hear it helped you out! And thanks for the tip! Very much appreciated! Have a great day!

Not sure personally, we don’t get that service in Australia! 🇦🇺

Happy to hear this helped you out Ken, thanks for leaving a message! Cheers! 😀

Glad to hear it helped and with the screw driver alternative! Thanks for leaving a comment Diana, cheers

Thanks for the feedback Paul, unfortunate to hear the video was too quick for you, I have added timeline chapters so you can skip-to or rewatch each step of the process if that helps you. Regardless, thanks for the feedback and hope you find this video helpful enough or another to change the battery yourself! It’s quite easy once you figure it out! Good luck! Cheers

Hey, yes but - only as noted in the video I seem to have some audio dropout issues when using wireless apple car play and driving through freeway tollgates. They only last for a split second however.

Happy to hear the video helped you! Thanks for leaving a comment 😊

Welcome 😀

Yeah Idoing sell a version specifically for the first gen 2014/15 models as they have a different head unit. You can find them on aliexpress. Or if you click the link in my bio you can message them there about your car and they should send you the model for your car.

Glad to hear it worked for you! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Can’t say I’ve noticed this on mine.

@@BenCad Just lucky me then 😭

Nah I haven’t, only learned about it when I realised I accidentally bought this newer 720p model haha! From what I can see it’s pretty much the same besides less buttons (on side of unit) and the screen resolution.

I got the 2k one, very much the same, very nice screen, although you don't get the buttons/icons

Yeah it also works wired :)

I would say if you contacted Idoing, which you can via Aliexpress, they might be able to help with just the loom. And yeah with the wiring they’ve provided I’ve got the factory sub and camera working.

I could be wrong here, but I believe it’s more about the wiring harness that you receive. You’ll note here in just a few video I have to connect a canbus adapter which has a spot on the wiring loom for it. The functionality of the head unit should function the same.

Happy to hear it was helpful Madonna! Thanks for leaving a comment 😀

Flat would be nice but I think it’s the only way to get a bigger screen in, a choice would be good!

@@BenCad yea. I would actually like it if it was the same size as oem

Glad to hear it helped you out Julia, thanks for leaving a comment!

Glad it was helpful 😀

Hmm.. If you look at all 3 iDoing models I've linked to in the description the newer models ALSO reference having the processor "7862" (View more button, search with control + F on the products linked in my description, or on iDoing's website). We don't have that retailer in Australia but regardless it does seem unusual that when compared that the spec sheets, pricing and spec sheets between them seem to say otherwise especially considering they appear to be a newer product? Unsure on those comments on how or where it's made as these are sold directly from iDoing too and reference the same things. Not saying they are right or wrong here because buying these units is absolutely & clearly confusing as all hell, the model they sell is the one I thought I purchased originally haha! But if that is also the only version they sell (outside of arguably having sales bias) you could say WRX daily has done due diligence in choosing a single iDoing Unit to resell that they believe meets the right balance of needs for their community with right mix of quality, price and value and offers it in a simpler and less confusing buying channel than AliExpress with less need to research which is probably a good thing. I think buying these is like buying a new TV, after doing all your research and comparing side by side by the time you get the product home you won't notice much of a difference. Hopefully you'll be happy with whatever model you choose! As I mentioned at the end, I don't think I've missed out by not having the top of the line 2k screen model for example as the clarity of this is so much better and more than needed. And in terms of reliability mines still going fine now 5 months in 😃😁 Good luck with your decision, I think we can all agree iDoing need to be more clear with their models on offer and the differences between! Cheers

@@BenCad oh yeah, idoing's website manager sucks at their job, 100%. No idea what your buying if you buy direct....However, wrxdaily sells thousands these throughout each year. It's the number one place in the USA to purchase these. So it's interesting they said that, no idea if it's true or if they know something we don't. I guess the only way to know is to open one up and look at the processor. LOL. But yeah, thank for the video in any case.

Oh no! Sorry to hear, I’m sure you could from a hardware store perhaps? Maybe call Subaru to ask? They might be able to provide some good info and help you with a size/part number?

Hey mate, Pretty much Yes.. but - if you don't have the Harmon Kardon system there is an alternative option to pick which you simply select on the link above. If you're looking on AliExpress (links in my video description) you'll see there are 3 different variants you can purchase, variant 2200, 2203, 2203A, when you click the option the image will tell you a bit more information about the variant. Essentially the options are there for which sound system you have in your WRX. If you're still uncertain you can always message iDoing on the page and ask them for extra certainty. Cheers, hope that helps 😀

@@BenCad Okay awesome. From your knowledge do you foresee me possibly running into any issues in the future installing different speakers?

I don’t think so, i believe the setup should be simpler without Harmon kardon overall, especially if you’re just using the OEM wiring that’s there. The unit also comes with RCA wiring for if you were wiring to an amplifier, which you can see the wiring in the unboxing portion of the video. Once again, if you need more certainty you could check with Idoing directly too. Cheers

@@BenCad Alright. Thanks again! I appreciate the help!

@@prestonmorrisette7783 Good luck with your decision!

Well glad to hear this was helpful for you, have to agree the leather/pleather materials could definitely be better!

Thanks so much leaving this comment, glad to hear you found it helpful 😃
