Double DIN Head Units That Fit the Subaru Crosstrek
There's no shortage of stereo choices for a Subaru Crosstrek — because it takes a standard double DIN chassis, the whole aftermarket is open to you. The trick is the supporting hardware: a Crosstrek dash kit and wiring harness turn a generic unit into a factory-look install. Here's what we'd pick.

Fit type: standard double DIN + dash kit. We don't currently list a custom-molded unit for the Crosstrek; the proven route is a universal double DIN stereo with a Crosstrek-specific dash installation kit (listed under “What else you need” below).

- Wiring harness adapteressentialShop on Amazon
Plugs between the new stereo and the factory Subaru connector — no cutting the car's wiring.
- Radio antenna adapteressentialShop on Amazon
Connects the factory Subaru antenna plug to the standard motorola jack most aftermarket units use.
- Steering wheel control interfaceShop on Amazon

Subaru Crosstrek head unit FAQ
Will a double DIN head unit fit my Subaru Crosstrek?
Yes — the Subaru Crosstrek takes a standard double DIN (4-inch tall) chassis with the correct dash installation kit. The kit fills the factory opening so the new stereo looks factory-installed.
Do I need a dash kit for a Subaru Crosstrek stereo upgrade?
Yes — a vehicle-specific dash kit is the one part you shouldn't skip. It adapts the Crosstrek dash opening to the standard double DIN chassis and usually costs $15–$50.
Will I keep my steering wheel controls in the Crosstrek?
In most cases yes, with a steering wheel control interface module wired between the car and the new unit. Budget roughly $30–$60 for it.
What screen sizes are available for the Subaru Crosstrek?
Units listed for the Subaru Crosstrek come with 9", 12.95" displays. Larger screens on custom-fit units are shaped to the dash, so a bigger display doesn't necessarily mean cutting or trimming.
Can I install a head unit in the Crosstrek myself?
A Crosstrek head unit swap is a common DIY job: trim removal tools, a screwdriver set, and 1–2 hours are typically enough. The wiring is plug-in when you use the right harness adapter and dash kit. If you're not comfortable removing dash trim, any car audio shop can do the physical install for a modest fee.
