You buy a new trim panel that replaces the factory radio and makes it standard DIN sized (the size of all aftermarket radios). Most give you double DIN which is a stereo and pocket or touch screen size.

Most likely from overseas as they sell for crazy money here.

 

then you buy a pair of loom adapters. One goes from can to ISO standard, the other is ISO to the brand of stereo you buy. They are about $20 for both, even repco and supercheap have them.

 

If you have premium audio them you need to do some more stuffing about bypassing or inter grating the factory amp.

 

Or you buy the trim and go nuts putting in a tablet and connect it to an amp and diagnosistic port so you get all the engine data onscreen.

You won't need a trim panel for your car @Subru, it is already double din sized. If you move to a single din radio then you can just buy a single din pocket to fill the other half. The factory support bracket should be fine.

 

As for wiring you can either buy two loom adapters Subaru->ISO and ISO->whatever brand of radio you buy, or you can look up a wiring pinout and just crimp/solder the correct wires from the car to the loom supplied with the radio.

The loom adapters are easy and plug and play but you end up stuffing an ugly, bulky ball of wires behind the radio. I prefer to crimp join the wires but both methods are fine.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
