2022-2026 Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 Aftermarket Radio Install (38-pin connector)

1Complete Custom Install Kit - $220

Built to order for your specific headunit. The kit includes:

• AM/FM radio adapter - retains the factory antenna (these cars need a modified version of our Subaru antenna adapter, included in the kit - do not order the standard one)
• Backup camera retention - connects the factory camera to your new headunit
• Steering wheel button connections - wired to suit your head unit. Android (including ATOTO) and Sony units read the buttons directly - no interface needed (Sony units get a 3.5 mm remote plug). Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC and Alpine units also need the Axxess AXSWC-2 steering wheel interface, sold separately (see below).
• Audio - speaker, power, and ground connections wired for your new headunit

USB: there is no USB retention adapter for these models. Plan on running the USB cable that comes with your new headunit from the back of the unit instead.

Order it below - the menus ask for your vehicle and your head unit's exact model number so we can build the kit to match your car. If anything about your combination needs a different approach, we will contact you before building:

Prefer to talk it through first? Email us with your head unit model and we will confirm the right setup.

2Building your own wiring instead

10-pin and 6-pin (power, ground and speakers): our AHH-70-1761 direct wire harnesses and the Metra 70-1761 plug into these, with one change. On the 2013-2020 car the factory amplifier is turned on by pin 9 of the 10-pin, so these harnesses put your headunit's amp turn-on (remote) wire on pin 9. On the 2022 and newer car, pin 9 is a constant 12V battery feed and the amp and antenna turn-on is pin 8. Move the amp turn-on wire from pin 9 to pin 8 before you plug it in - or put "2022+ BRZ/GR86" in the order notes at checkout and we will make the change for you.

38-pin (backup camera, reverse, steering wheel buttons): our custom 38-pin adapter plugs into the factory 38-pin connector and brings out what your new head unit needs, every lead labelled: the factory backup camera on an RCA video lead (a 12V-to-6V converter to power the factory camera is included), the REVERSE signal, and the steering wheel buttons as KEY1 (pin 9), KEY2 (pin 10) and SWC GROUND (pin 12). The steering wheel signals come as wire leads, or - for the Axxess AXSWC-2 interface - on the connector that plugs into it (+$25, pick it in the options). We build it for your head unit, so tell us the exact model when you order. It carries no power or speaker wires - those are on the 10-pin and 6-pin above.

AM/FM radio: these cars need a custom AM/FM antenna adapter. We build it from our Subaru adapter with the antenna connection moved to the other slot, so the standard Subaru and Toyota adapters do not fit as they come - do not order those. It is included in the complete kit above; building your own, order it here:

USB: no USB retention adapter exists for these cars - run your headunit's own USB cable.

Steering wheel buttons: Android head units (including ATOTO) need no interface - join our KEY1, KEY2 and SWC GROUND leads to the unit's steering wheel wires and teach the buttons in its steering wheel menu (connect the SWC GROUND lead, or the buttons will not learn). Sony units need no interface either - the Sony version of our complete kit comes with a 3.5 mm remote plug wired in. Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC and Alpine units need a steering wheel interface: we recommend the Axxess AXSWC-2. On these cars it may have to be programmed manually instead of setting itself up automatically.

3Starlink / telematics module

If your car has the SOS button up near the map lights, it has a telematics module. It is bolted to the radio's chassis, directly below the head unit, and usually will not fit back in behind an aftermarket radio. Our bypass plug lets you leave it out - it is sold HERE, built to order for your year and head unit. No SOS button means no module and nothing to bypass.
