About head units for the 2013–2018 Subaru Forester

The 2013–2018 Subaru Forester (SJ generation) is a practical, go-anywhere family SUV, but its factory infotainment feels dated. A vehicle-specific Nakamichi Purefit head unit fits a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into the dash — the same unit suits the matching Impreza.
Made to order for the SJ dash, it fits with no cutting and keeps your steering-wheel controls working. A reversing-camera input is built in, and a factory camera can be retained where fitted.
2.0i, 2.5i or XT, the upgrade modernises the cabin without touching the rest of the car. Choose your unit below and we'll confirm the fit for your variant.

Subaru Forester head unit FAQ

Will a head unit on this page fit my 2013–2018 Subaru Forester?

Yes — every head unit here is a vehicle-specific Nakamichi Purefit fit, made to order for the Subaru Forester 2013-2018 (SUV / wagon). It drops straight into the factory dash aperture with no cutting or panel modification.

What size screen fits the Forester?

The Forester takes a 9in head unit. Each unit listed here is built to that size for a flush, factory-look finish.

Do I need a professional to install it?

Most owners fit it themselves — it reuses your factory wiring through the supplied plug-and-play harness, so there's no cutting. Allow about an hour. Prefer a pro? Any car-audio installer can do it quickly.

Does it keep my reversing camera and steering-wheel controls?

Steering-wheel audio controls are retained and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are built in. Reversing-camera retention depends on your exact variant — message us your build and we'll confirm before it's made.
