[QUOTE="Team TH (Donny), post: 7276251, member: 630942"] As far as the Subaru goes I didn't get lucky in finding any videos, but some following information that might be of use for your removal of the stock head unit. Using these steps in reverse would complete the install. I'm sure you will catch on to the install as you proceed into the process. I will list 4 steps as I found to help remove the stock head unit. Also for both vehicles as far as wiring gos you will need wiring harnesses which I will list links to Ebay for the both of the necessary product. What this wiring harness will do is connect easily to current OEM connector, thus leaving color coded wires exposed. These color coded wires will color-accordingly match with the exposed wires of the after-market head unit (navigation system) you will be purchasing. The head unit I recommended the the previous post for your Jeep will be great for your Subaru as well.. Good luck! [B]Steps for 2011 Subaru Liberty in Head Unit Removal..[/B] 1. Pull the hood release lever to open the hood and move to the front of the Forester. Lift the hood and loosen the bolt that secures the negative battery cable to the negative battery terminal post with the adjustable wrench or pliers. The negative cable is black and connects the negative battery lead with the frame of the vehicle. Remove the cable's clamp from the post and set it aside to avoid shorting the Subaru's electrical system during the installation. Return to the inside of the vehicle. 2. Remove the trim panels that surround the gear selector lever and stereo assembly. Pry the panel from the center console (around the shifter) with a trim panel removal tool. Grab the bottom edge of the trim panel that surrounds the stereo dock and pull it away from the dashboard. 3. Remove the two bolt screws on either side of the factory stereo bracket with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Keep the screws for any planned installation. 4. Slide the factory stereo from the stereo mounting dock and unplug the stereo wiring and antenna cable connected to the rear panel of the stock unit.
