About this kit

School run, groceries, weekend sport—this Impreza upgrade keeps the dash clean and your hands on the wheel. The OEM-match fascia suits the cabin, the display is fast to launch, and cables stay out of sight. Built for AU summers with proven thermal management, it stays consistent from hot carparks to highway cool-downs.

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

Features you’ll use

Keep the wheel controls you use daily and ditch dangling cords. The tidy fascia suits the Impreza and the UI stays responsive, so quick volume or track changes need minimal taps. After school drop-off or groceries, it wakes quickly—even after a hot carpark—so maps and music are ready straight away.

2015-2016 Subaru Impreza Head Unit Kit

Looks factory, keeps controls

The factory-style fascia integrates with the Impreza cabin so the upgraded display looks at home. Controls on the steering wheel continue to work for volume, tracks and calls, and the layout avoids loose cables around the console. The bracket and trim clip in securely, keeping things solid on daily commutes and weekend jobs.
  • Steering controls retained
  • Clean, tidy install
  • Reverse camera supported
  • Secure bracket fit

Audio you can shape

Start simple or build later—the unit offers 16–31-band EQ, per-channel time alignment and high-resolution playback. Bluetooth streaming is stable on long drives, and calls sound clear. If you add an amp or sub, the upgrade path is straightforward and the staging can be tightened without replacing every speaker.
  • 31-band EQ tuning
  • Per-channel time alignment
  • Amp/sub upgrade path
  • Clear Bluetooth calls

Wireless every day

Wireless connection via CarLink 2.0 means no cable routine. Use voice for hands-free calls and messages, then glance at Apple Maps or Google Maps for the next turn. Spotify runs in the background for playlists or kids' songs. Reconnect after quick stops is fast, keeping the school run moving.
  • Wireless phone connection
  • Voice commands, hands-free
  • Apple or Google Maps
  • Quick reconnect after stops

Offline maps & Torque

Download map areas before trips to keep directions working if reception drops on the outskirts. The interface stays stable, so taps register when the car's moving slowly in traffic. Pair an inexpensive OBD2 adapter to view Torque gauges like coolant temperature and intake readings—handy peace of mind on summer drives.
  • Offline map areas saved
  • Torque gauges available
  • Stable interface in traffic

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

Memory & storage that keep up

Gone are the days when 4 GB of RAM was “top-end.”

Add maps and media with microSD expansion and you’re set for offline trips.

  • more RAM
  • smoother multitasking

FAQs

Does this suit both GP (hatch) and GJ (sedan)?

Yes. Sedan and hatch share the radio fascia geometry, so the kit suits both and keeps steering-wheel controls working.

Will my factory reverse camera still work after the upgrade?

Yes, where fitted it's retained. If your Impreza doesn't have one, you can add a compatible camera later via the dedicated input.

How does it handle hot carparks and summer heat?

The unit is designed for AU summers with active thermal management, so it wakes quickly and the UI stays responsive after heat soak.

Is wireless reconnect reliable on short stops?

Yes. Wireless phone integration via CarLink 2.0 resumes within seconds after fuel or grocery stops, so maps and audio are ready fast.

Can I install this at home with basic tools?

Most owners can in about 60 minutes. Use plastic trim tools, a Phillips screwdriver and a 10 mm socket; take care with clips.

Can I use maps without reception?

Download map areas in your chosen app before leaving service. Guidance continues if coverage drops, and you can still use cached routes.
