Subaru Forester reversing camera installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does reversing camera installation on every Subaru Forester generation we see: SG (2002–2008): Camera on the tailgate shown on a mirror monitor or the Android screen; SH (2008–2013): Tailgate camera on the Android screen, or on the Kenwood nav where it has a camera input; a mirror monitor if the radio stays; SJ (2013–2018): Most SJ cars have a factory camera on the touchscreen; where it is missing we feed one into the Starlink camera input or the Android screen; SK (2019 on): Every SK has the factory camera on the Starlink screen; we replace failed units and fit a dash cam with a rear camera where recording is wanted. From €100 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

Reversing camera on each Forester: how we do it.
Find your years in the first two columns. The factory system decides the route, and the route decides the price — send the reg if you are not sure which one you have.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| SG | 2002–2008 | Subaru CD radio, sometimes with a cassette, in a double-DIN opening; no factory screen | Camera on the tailgate shown on a mirror monitor or the Android screen | from €100 |
| SH | 2008–2013 | CD radio with a small display on most cars; a Kenwood-built touchscreen nav badged Subaru on the NavPlus trims | Tailgate camera on the Android screen, or on the Kenwood nav where it has a camera input; a mirror monitor if the radio stays | from €100 |
| SJ | 2013–2018 | CD radio with a small display on early cars; 7-inch Starlink touchscreen from around 2016, without CarPlay on most cars; Japanese imports carry a Japanese unit | Most SJ cars have a factory camera on the touchscreen; where it is missing we feed one into the Starlink camera input or the Android screen | from €100 |

FAQ
Subaru Forester reversing camera: questions people ask.
Answers for Forester owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppCan the reversing camera show on the Forester's factory screen?
On the SJ with the 7-inch Starlink and on every SK, yes: the Starlink unit has a camera input, and most of these cars already have the factory camera on it. On the SH with the Kenwood nav the camera goes on that unit where it has an input. SG cars and SH cars with the plain CD radio have no screen, so the camera shows on a mirror monitor or on an Android screen if we fit one.
How much does reversing camera cost on a Subaru Forester?
It depends on the generation. SG (2002–2008): from €100; SH (2008–2013): from €100; SJ (2013–2018): from €100; SK (2019 on): from €100. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Subaru Forester years can have reversing camera?
SG, built 2002–2008 (Subaru CD radio, sometimes with a cassette, in a double-DIN opening; no factory screen): Camera on the tailgate shown on a mirror monitor or the Android screen. SH, built 2008–2013 (CD radio with a small display on most cars; a Kenwood-built touchscreen nav badged Subaru on the NavPlus trims): Tailgate camera on the Android screen, or on the Kenwood nav where it has a camera input; a mirror monitor if the radio stays. SJ, built 2013–2018 (CD radio with a small display on early cars; 7-inch Starlink touchscreen from around 2016, without CarPlay on most cars; Japanese imports carry a Japanese unit): Most SJ cars have a factory camera on the touchscreen; where it is missing we feed one into the Starlink camera input or the Android screen. SK, built 2019 on (Starlink 8-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on every trim; e-Boxer hybrid on Irish cars; Harman Kardon on the top trim): Every SK has the factory camera on the Starlink screen; we replace failed units and fit a dash cam with a rear camera where recording is wanted.
How long does reversing camera take on a Subaru Forester?
Two to three hours on the Subaru Forester SG, SH, SJ and SK. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit reversing camera on a Subaru Forester?
On every Forester we work on — SG, SH, SJ and SK — the parking sensors keep working and the camera comes up automatically in reverse, with guidelines where the screen supports them.
Do I need to book reversing camera for my Subaru Forester, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (SG, SH, SJ and SK) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
