About this kit

You start up; the WRX settles into a clean idle. The display wakes quickly and suits the dash, so directions are a glance, not a hunt. The factory-style fascia keeps buttons familiar and the cabin tidy. Built with active cooling and a heat-sink for Australian summer reliability when traffic and temp both climb.

Supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto via CarLink 2.0 (pre-installed).

Features you’ll use

Morning commute or weekend run, the tidy fascia suits the WRX and keeps wheel controls working. Snappy UI and clear icons mean fewer taps and calmer cabin noise. Maps sit where your eyes expect them, so you glance, confirm, and drive—no fiddling, no cable clutter, just straightforward control.

2014-2015 Subaru WRX Head Unit Kit

Factory look that fits

The factory-style fascia suits the dash so the screen sits where you expect it. Purpose-made brackets and looms mean a solid mount with tidy gaps, so bumps don't add buzz. Steering buttons remain active and, where fitted, the reverse camera is supported. The result: a clean install that feels native to the cabin.
  • Factory-look fascia kit
  • Solid, tidy mount
  • Steering buttons retained
  • Camera support where fitted

Audio you can shape

Shape the sound to your taste with a 16–31-band EQ and per-channel time alignment that centres vocals and tightens bass. Hi-Res playback preserves detail, while Bluetooth with quality codecs keeps wireless listening clean. Pre-outs give you an easy path to add a compact amp or sub later—no rewiring drama, just scalable, cleaner sound.
  • 16–31-band EQ control
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Amp/sub ready pre-outs
  • Hi-Res playback support

Hop in, it connects

Hop in and it connects wirelessly via CarLink 2.0, so calls, messages and voice are ready without fishing for a cable. Reconnects quickly after a servo stop, and stays steady over patchy city streets. Use Google Maps for guidance while Spotify handles the queue—minimal taps, eyes up, and a cabin free of dangling leads.
  • Wireless via CarLink 2.0
  • Quick post-start reconnect
  • Voice assistant ready
  • Google Maps + Spotify

Works when reception doesn't

Reception drops outside town. Save your regular map areas so guidance continues, then switch back to live traffic when coverage returns. Pair a low-profile OBD2 dongle and Torque puts temps, voltages and simple fault codes on one glanceable screen. Practical tools that keep routes and basics visible without fuss when the drive gets patchy.
  • Map areas saved offline
  • Glance temps at lights
  • Simple OBD2 pairing

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.

  • higher resolution
  • higher brightness
  • premium panel tech
Bigger screen, less bezel, factory-style fit

More screen, minimal bezels, tidy fascia—designed to look like it belongs in your dash.
Controls stay accessible and integration stays clean.

With an Android OS head unit, the options are endless.

  • fast UI

Memory & storage that keep up

Gone are the days when 4 GB of RAM was “top-end.”
Ours start at 4 GB and go up from there, so app switching stays smooth.
Add maps and media with microSD expansion and you’re set for offline trips.

  • more RAM
  • smoother multitasking
  • microSD for expandable storage

FAQs

Does this suit the Subaru WRX VA (2014–2015) and keep the steering controls?

Yes. It suits the VA-series WRX for 2014–2015 and retains steering-wheel buttons via the included harness.

Will my factory reverse camera still work after the upgrade?

Where fitted, the factory camera is supported. If an adapter is needed, the correct loom is supplied so it plugs straight in.

How stable is the wireless connection after a fuel stop or over rough streets?

It reconnects quickly after short stops and stays steady as surfaces get patchy, reducing fiddling at the wheel.

Can I use offline maps for trips out of town?

Yes. Save map areas before you go for guidance without reception, then return to live traffic when coverage comes back.

How long does install take and what tools do I need?

Allow about 60 minutes. Difficulty is 2/3. Basic tools do it: trim tools, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10 mm socket. Plug-and-play looms are included.

Can I view basic OBD2 data with Torque?

Yes. Pair a compatible OBD2 dongle and Torque can show temps, voltages and simple fault codes on one screen for quick checks.
