Features you’ll use

Stock units lag when the road gets busy; this one stays taut. The interface is quick to read, and a Torque glance can surface temps or boost without extra gauges. You keep a tidy dash and steering buttons, so the upgrade feels native even over rough surfaces and weekend backroads.

2007–2014 Subaru WRX Head Unit Kit

OEM-style fitment

Built for the WRX cabin, the factory-look fascia gives a clean, integrated finish and suits the centre stack proportions. Steering-wheel controls continue to work, and the factory camera is retained where fitted. The Aerpro FP8580 double-DIN path is widely used, so servicing or future swaps are straightforward without odd brackets or spacers.
  • Factory-look fascia, tidy dash
  • Steering-wheel controls retained
  • Factory camera supported
  • Proven double-DIN path

Stage it how you like

Stage the cabin to your taste with per-channel time alignment and a detailed EQ. Save profiles for weekday commutes versus backroad drives, and trim front/rear or sub level quickly. Clean pre-outs make amps easy later, and the UI keeps adjustments snappy so you can fine-tune without menu maze.
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • 16–31-band EQ tuning
  • Amp-friendly pre-outs
  • Save listening profiles

Wireless every day

Hop in and it reconnects quickly via CarLink 2.0, so you're rolling without cables. Use voice for calls and messages, run Waze for alerts, and keep Spotify streaming in the background. Leave a USB free for charging when needed; the interface stays taut and responsive in daily stop-start traffic.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Quick reconnect after stops
  • Voice calls and messages
  • Leave phone in pocket

Torque gauges on tap

Download map areas before a twisty run so guidance survives black spots. Pair a simple OBD2 dongle and open Torque when you want a glance at coolant, intake temps or basic boost—useful after installs or on warm days. It's optional, quick to check, and avoids cluttering the cabin with extra gauges.
  • Glance temps and boost
  • Download map areas
  • Handy on warm days
  • No extra gauge clutter

The DriverMods difference

Real performance — and real transparency

The current standard is still 28 nm—slower and hotter, with only the highest end units running 12 nm.
Our units start at 12 nm for smooth, lag-free performance (Core & Plus), stepping up to 6 nm in Pro/Max/Flagship for lightning-fast response.

  • spec transparency
  • modern silicon
  • fast boot
  • cool, stable runs
Displays you enjoy looking at

No dim, plasticky panels.
Our Plus / Pro / Max / Flagship use QLED QHD for razor-sharp maps, media, and text.
Our Core tier unit uses a bright, vivid HD IPS display—clear, clean, and easy on the eyes.

FAQs

Does this suit all WRX GD/GE/GH/GR/GV models and keep steering controls?

Yes—within 2007–2014 scope it suits WRX and limited editions, and steering-wheel buttons remain active after install.

Will my factory reverse camera still work on the WRX?

Where fitted, the factory camera is retained. If your car lacks one, add an aftermarket camera to the dedicated input.

How does the screen handle Australian heat and rough roads?

The unit uses active cooling with a heat-sink, and the interface remains responsive over bumpy surfaces and summer temps.

What's the install like on a GE/GH/GR/GV WRX?

Plan about 60 minutes with Trim Tools, a Phillips Screwdriver and a 10mm Socket. Difficulty is 2/3 for a careful DIYer.

Is wireless reconnection quick after short stops?

Yes—wireless via CarLink 2.0 reconnects fast after fuel or coffee stops; you can still use USB for charging on long trips.

Can I check temps and basic boost without extra gauges?

Yes—pair a simple OBD2 dongle and open Torque for quick glances at coolant, intake temps and basic boost when you want.
