Subaru Impreza upgrades, generation by generation.

GD and GG cars, bugeye to hawkeye, for a double-DIN Android screen with CarPlay, and Japanese-import GP and GJ cars with a Japanese unit. GE and GH hatches come for the same screen, and GT and GK owners mostly for a failed reversing camera or a dash cam.

For the older cars, yes: the GD, GG and the GR and GV WRX and STI share the Impreza dashboard, so the same screens, fascias and camera routes apply. The 2014-on WRX is a separate model, though its Starlink units follow the same pattern as the GT and GK Impreza.

GD / GG — 2000–2007: Single-DIN CD radio with a pocket beneath on most cars, 6-CD on WRX and STI; no factory screen. GE / GH — 2007–2014: CD radio with a small display in a double-DIN opening; a Kenwood-built touchscreen nav on some WRX STI cars. GP / GJ — 2012–2016: CD radio with a small display on 2012–2014 cars; 7-inch Starlink touchscreen on later cars, without CarPlay; Japanese imports carry a Japanese unit. GT / GK — 2017–2023: Starlink 8-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on every trim; e-Boxer on 2020-on cars. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

Car radio: Double-DIN Android screen on the GD, GG, GE, GH, GP and GJ; the GT and GK keep their Starlink. Reversing camera: Tailgate or boot-lid camera on the Android screen, the Starlink input or a mirror monitor. CarPlay: Android screen on cars without a usable screen, a CarPlay box or activation on cars with one. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: Four sensors in the rear bumper with a buzzer that beeps faster; sound only. Dash cam: Hardwired from the fuse box with parking mode and a low-voltage cut-off, cables hidden. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Reversing camera: two to three hours. CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Ambient lighting: two to four hours. Most Impreza owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

GD / GG: the Single-DIN CD radio with a pocket beneath on most cars, 6-CD on WRX and STI; no factory screen stays and we add to it. GE / GH: the CD radio with a small display in a double-DIN opening; a Kenwood-built touchscreen nav on some WRX STI cars stays and we add to it. GP / GJ: the CD radio with a small display on 2012–2014 cars; 7-inch Starlink touchscreen on later cars, without CarPlay; Japanese imports carry a Japanese unit stays and we add to it. GT / GK: the Starlink 8-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on every trim; e-Boxer on 2020-on cars stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
