Hey guys,
I'm about to order a 2017 STI and I'm debating on an 02 (base) or 03 (HK/Nav/keyless start/BSD/RCTA) car.
My question is the mounting of an aftermarket unit in a '17. Can the brackets from the OEM '17 radios be reused for an aftermarket unit? Will it line up correctly with the '15 fascia? If not, are the earlier mounting points still in place so I could use the '15 brackets?
What I don't want to have happen is to order the 03 car then find out I can't replace the radio and be stuck with HK since you can't bypass the amp because they're connected over the CAN-BUS. If I can't replace the radio I will just get the 02 car and be bummed that I don't have keyless access. lol
If you have pics of your HU out of the dash it would be most helpful.
Thanks all!
Paul
