    I have a 2014 Forester with the OEM CF605UL head unit fitted which has recently bought the farm. I just need something to get me by and wondered if the CF625UM, whilst it would fit, is compatible with what would be exposed from the removal of the CF605UL unit? Thanks

    For my '09 (factory stereo, no satnav, no steering wheel controls), I'm wanting to upgrade to a touchscreen that handles Apple Carplay. I figure I'll add in a backup cam at the same time. Ideally, the unit would have a manual volume knob (I'm oldschool about wanting to change/mute it without...
