LEXXSONAndroid 11 Octa Core Car Radio, 9 inch Touch Screen Bluetooth Player for Subaru Forester 2008-2012 Impreza 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza WRX 2008-2014

Perfect fit for my 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX. Highly recommend this seller! The enclosed wiring harness (RCA) that I received did not work since my vehicle does not have those. Contacted the seller and sent them a picture of the connections and label on the factory head unit. They sent me direct plug and play connections at no cost. The wireless car play connects quick and has zero lag. The factory steering controls are easy to program, and the interface is very clean and easy to use. The sound quality is far better than the factory unit had.

EDIT: After using this head unit for a couple months, I've started to loath it. Any time CarPlay drops--and it will--the only way to reconnect the phone is to turn off the stereo. Unfortunately, you can only do that by turning off the car. Not very handy when you're on the road and it drops your connection.When it works it's fine. But you always know in the back of your head that it's only a matter of time before it shuts off. Save yourself some time and money and buy something else.---------First of all, the installation was very simple. I’m a complete novice and was able to get it installed in about a half hour.I have a 2011 Forester and there were some factory connectors that don’t connect to the unit. This isn’t a complaint, just an fyi that the factory aux and usb in the console don’t connect to this model.I didn’t use the 4g or the one accessory harness, because I didn’t really need them. So I have no idea how they preform.Build quality on this unit is cheap. It’s not packed well from the factory and mine arrived with a broken clip. (It still seems to hold well enough in the dash, so I didn’t return it.). It looks good once installed, but I was a bit paranoid handling it.Performance wise it isn’t bad. It’s starts up immediately. CarPlay takes about 5 seconds to connect (same speed of using it wired or wirelessly). Menus are pretty responsive. Apps are pretty fast. Touchscreen is very responsive and doesn’t seem to have any lag. By contrast, the buttons on the side are not very responsive. I sometimes have to touch the home or back button multiple times to get it to work.User interface overall is not very polished. There are buttons that have the same icons but do different things. There are typos and mistranslations in the menus. Nothing that I consider a deal breaker, but I wasn’t impressed by the interface.Along with the interface, it has a really locked down version of Android. I understand that they probably did this to keep it simple, but it does feel frustrating at times. For example, screen brightness doesn’t appear under the android settings, but is buried in some 3rd party menu. Not a deal breaker, but it will take some getting used to.Sound quality is alright. I’m not an audiophile and listen to more audiobooks than music, but it’s definitely an improvement over the factory unit. EQ feature is nice, but they only provide you with three or four presets which feels pretty halfhearted.I think that’s my problem with this unit. Everything is halfhearted. It’s fine. It works. But personally, I regret not holding out for a better model.TLDR:Cheaply built, performance acceptable not impressive.

Installation was a breeze on my 2013 Subaru WRX STI. All harnesses were plug and play and all steering wheel buttons, ect work. Cant do wrong with this radio to replace factory unit.

This is a great radio if you want one of the cheapest options for wireless android auto/apple car play for a 08-14 WRX. The fitment was slightly loose at the top of the radio but the rest of the built in trim snapped into place. It's not an issue but it is something I noticed on my 2011 WRX. The radio is similar to the other copy cat radios with the built in trim made by iDoing and Joying. At this price point it is the no frills model. The sound quality is similar to the stock radio, the only difference is you have equalizer options. For the money this is a great radio and so far I'm really happy with my purchase. Only issue I had was with the trim fitment I already talked about and the first time setting up android auto. I had to use a cable for the first time, after doing that it connects wirelessly when I hit the app.

Not really a review but, I haven’t used my head unit much and now it’s just stuck on the Subaru logo, I tried removing the wire in the back and plugging it back in and no luck, also tried resetting and no luck,Is there a way I can digitize this and get it working?

Sounds good. The EQ is awesome and super easy touch screen use

To start, the company did help me get the correct harness after all my initial trouble.So thanks to them for that.-------TLDR: Ran updates because android auto stopped working, now headunit doesn't load past the initial android screen, unable to do anything with it.----Going on 8 months now roughly.Headunit is used by my mother in her 10 forester.Worked great for about 3 or 4 months, wireless android auto, screen, audio, no problem.After the 4ish months android auto stopped connecting regularly and she started to use BT instead since it wouldn't have issues.-with multiple different phones, not just hers.Did updates from play store, same issue.Few months later she wants android auto back.Check android auto, there are a few more updates, ran updates while connected to their home wifi. Updates finished went for a drive and android auto started working.Filled up her tank and went to drop car off and the entire way the the android startup screen never went away, no audio, no home screen.Tried doing "Reset" button with a pin.Screen flasheld black and same problem.Let headunit unplugged from everything for a few days and same problem.Throwing it away at this point.

As others have said, it’s not the worst but sure isn’t the greatest. The most frustrating aspect for me is the fact the steering wheel controls do not work even though they are advertised as working…the buttons along the side seem to respond 30% of the time.Installation is crazy simple, so that gets a star.
