## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's plug and play, exactly as it says on the box for 2016 Forester 2.5i
*by M***O on January 8, 2022*

I have had the unit for 3 months. It's a game changer and worth the hassle of install even for a noob like me.PURCHASINGSygav has a very responsive WhatsApp if you are sending them messages during daytime in east Asia. I was able to confirm my car would be compatible over WhatsApp, purchased the unit, and receive it within a week. I installed it less than 2 weeks later when my buddy had space in his garage and time to give me an extra pair of hands (which I recommend).INSTALLATIONInstall isn't trivial here. You should be comfortable unhooking your battery. You need to have the right sockets and a wrench for getting a stock head unit out. If you are planning to embed the call microphone in your dash, you'll want a flexible long flashlight to get into tight spaces the way a phone or Maglite can't.Once those prereqs are out of the way, though, this is significantly easier than splicing your own cables to the car's existing ones, etc. Yes, it's plug and play. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for how to install so I will just go over a few things I wish someone had said in a tutorial.- my model does not have purely digital A/C controls. It has metal wire in jackets (like bike brakes) to turn gears located below and behind the head unit. Those are a PAIN to unhook if you try to pull them the wrong direction. Only the middle knob for me was digital, so having a second person to undo the other side while holding the head unit with you in their other hand is worth having for this step imho.Do not try and extend the microphone cable. The stock Subaru call microphone is located in front of the sunglasses compartment, but it is NOT an ideal spot for an analog mic like the one in this kit. The Subaru stock one has an analog to digital conversion board right behind the mic itself so that it can go the long distance around the windshield and down to the stock head unit. You can't retain the stock mic with this kit, so you may need to consider taking Sygav's advice and sticking the mic on top of the steering column where it's close to your mouth. If you extend the included 3.5mm jack cable, you will attenuate the sound so far that your caller won't be able to hear you even if you adjust the mic volume in settings on the unit.When you reconnect the battery, you will have removed the Starlink unit. There is an orange LED near the sunglasses holder above the unit that will stay on since you removed that. Not sure if anyone cares that the car knows you removed it, but now you know.THIS HAS WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO and WIRELESS CARPLAY ALREADY as long as you go through all the software updates when you first turn on the unit. Zlink often fights the WiFi though if it detects a compatible phone for wireless Carplay or AA. If you plan to use a hotspot, watch out, the car may attempt to pull up Zlink automatically and switch it's WiFi from client to Direct host to enable wireless AA or Carplay.Will write more updates if I have them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty nice head unit. All my features work.
*by A***R on April 9, 2023*

The radio is pretty nice. I was surprised how easy the install was plug and play. It did take about a hour. About another 30mins to set up and play with the features. I have had it installed for a week and no issues. My only issue is that it takes a while to start up and hook up to Android auto.

### ⭐ Quit Working with Black Screen After 78 Days
*by A***R on September 9, 2024*

Received this and installed it on 06/18/2024 in a 2017 Subaru Forester. The installation went pretty smoothly, and it worked great for a little while--a whopping 78 days. At that point, it 100% quit working, with a black screen, no power to the various USB ports, no lights on the buttons, etc. The vehicle's fuses are both still good, and Sygav mentioned there's a fuse on the back of the head unit that should be checked, too. When this happens to you, I hope you have the electronic A/C controls, otherwise, you will need to decouple your climate control cables again like I will need to do in order to completely pull the head unit back out of the dash to access the fuse. Sygav should provide a fuse extension so this fuse can be routed with the USB cables to the glove box or other accessible location. If you decide to buy this head unit, you should definitely buy one so you don't have to pull the whole head unit just to check the fuse. They're available here at Amazon for about 10 bucks. You'll need a blade type Standard (not micro, mini, or maxi) ATO fuse extension with blades on one end and a fuse holder on the other end. It's a real shame that what was supposed to be a nice upgrade to the audio system for my daughter when she went off to college is now a hassle and completely useless to her. Sygav's website provides no warranty information and uses WhatsApp for technical support; however, they do reply to e-mail. Considering they are located in Hong Kong or China, you will be waiting a day or so between troubleshooting steps. So save yourself the hassle and either buy the fuse extender or consider a completely different head unit instead of Sygav. Actually, get a fuse extender no matter what you buy if there is a fuse on the back of the head unit. What a pain.
