2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Compatibility Check
This dash kit is specifically for Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota GT86 models from 2012 to 2016. If your vehicle has an original amplifier, please provide the CD interface diagram from the back of your unit to the seller to confirm compatibility. Failure to do so may result in loss of speaker sound. Verify that the power cable port matches your vehicle's before purchase. Contact support if the power cord does not fit.
2.2 Pre-Installation Test
Before full installation, perform a quick test:
- Combine the red and yellow wires of the car stereo.
- Connect the combined wires to the positive pole of a 12V battery.
- Connect the black wire to the negative pole of the battery.
- After approximately 2 seconds, check if the screen lights up. If it does, the car stereo is functioning normally.
- If the device turns on but does not work after installation, recheck the installation procedure.
2.3 Wiring and Connections
Refer to the provided wiring diagrams for correct connections. Ensure all necessary cables are securely connected.
Image: Detailed wiring diagram showing various ports and connections, along with a list of included accessories.
Important Wiring Notes:
- The ACC line on the power cord connects to the RCA power amplifier line. This allows the original car's power amplifier to be used normally.
- If your car is a high-version model, do not connect the specific connector shown in the diagram (often circled in red on the back of the original unit), as this may prevent the car audio system from working.
- If your car media player resembles the examples shown in the 'Please Note' image (e.g., with a separate screen and control unit), this product may not be compatible.
Image: Visual warning regarding specific connectors for high-version vehicles and examples of incompatible original car media players.
2.4 Backup Camera Wiring
The reverse input cable must be connected even if a reverse camera is not used, as it affects Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signal reception.
- Cable 1 and Cable 6: Connect to the positive pole of the car's reversing light cable.
- Cable 2: Connect to the negative pole of the car's reversing light cable.
- Cable 3 and Cable 4: Connect to the reverse trigger wire of the power cable (labeled 'Reverse/Back'). If your vehicle does not have this wire, it is not necessary to connect it. If the camera does not function after installation, try pulling out this wire and connecting it.

2.5 Steering Wheel Control Setup
To enable steering wheel controls, follow the instructions based on your vehicle's configuration:
- Without CANBUS Decoder: Connect the plugs or the steering wheel control wires (Key1/Key2) in the power cable to the corresponding port or wire of your original car. Then, navigate to the 'SWC' menu on the stereo to manually match and activate the button functions.
- With CANBUS Decoder: Connect the CANBUS before powering on the radio. Then, go to Apps > Settings > Factory Settings (password: 8888) > 1 Vehicle > Automotive type. Select the brand of the CANBUS decoder, and then choose the matching model and year for proper functionality.
