2009 - 2013 Subaru Forester Radio Removal / Installation
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is how to remove / install a radio in a Subaru Forester from 2009-2013. This is my 2010 Forester. You can also remove the air vent to get more space, but I do not demonstrate that in this video.
I also show how to install an AUX cable through the back into the glove box.

Good video. Straight forward enough. I didnt want to just start pulling panels off w/o a decent direction. Also I love your working on a 5spd, I spent 6 months finding a black one, standard with a sunroof. (Hard finds in northern Ohio 2021)

I really got lucky with mine. Happened to belong to a girl who's dad worked so hard to get it for her only for her to hate sticks in the end.
Thanks, Cisco G. I had a Kenwood DNX7160 which was constantly searching for satellites and this video helped me to remove the headunit and install a new GPS antenna.

Glad I could help ^_^
Thanks for the video. Quite helpful. I need to remove my radio to fix a bluetooth microphone.
Someone needs to blacklist that dealer. We had to get the airbags replaced in our '09 Forester and the Subaru dealer did a great job. They also detailed and washed the car, no charge, and replaced a bad backup light bulb.
Thanks for the video. It was a helpful as I put a basic CarPlay head unit (on a base model 2009 forester). However… there are 2 cables that I could not make fit. Any idea what was plugged into the oem carrion cd player? I think one was the aux in. Also… I could not plug the ground wire. Is that an issue?
If i wanted to install a newer display what size would i have to get?
Have you replaced the power outlet under the radio?
Great tutorial, is there a good way to drop the wire into the small cubby below vent controls? My plan is to drop a USB cable there, but i dont run it through the glovebox!

I just dropped it directly below down there. You'll have to snake it thru, I snaked it from the bottom and grabbed it from the top

Here's a combo set from walmart that is cheaper than the mount and the bracket I bought (separately). This will work with any "double din" radio, but I imagine the process would be very similar to a "single din" radio. www.walmart.com/ip/Fits-Subaru-Forester-2009-2013-w-o-OE-NAV-Double-DIN-Harness-Radio-Dash-Kit/510884857?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=8959&&adid=22222222227073422128&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=339378958017&wl4=pla-662458781507&wl5=9028803&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=115786984&wl11=online&wl12=510884857&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVVmr7XJeE56A2IizXEaf3WyKmbehb1XfUhSxVm2efextzdjQW0-f3GBoCF9MQAvD_BwE
I have a question, how did you get your steering wheel functions to work with the aftermarket radio? Im having major issues even though I spent extra money for a fitting kit.

You have to wire in one, they're sold separately. My vid is a very basic install
Hi, did you install this screen or came with the car? I also have forester 2011 but it has a CD player and I want to install a screen with the front-rear camera.

I installed it, original had a CD player as well. You have to cut /solder the wires yourself
