Wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto for 2016-2018 Subaru Forester

Give your Subaru the ultimate upgrade with the 2016–2018 Subaru Forester Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto. This system adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to your factory screen and maintains factory functionality.

Easily access your original Subaru Interface.

The Hamilton Upgrade Kit preserves your original Subaru Crosstrek features, including the factory reverse camera, factory microphone for calls/Siri, and factory CD player. You can still access the original Subaru operating system by long-holding the voice button for three seconds to reach your factory XM, FM, and AM radio. The kit uses the vehicle’s AUX input, so the wired AUX port won’t support audio from external media players (such as DACs, MP3 players, or other line-out devices) after installation.

Durability and reliability like no other. Engineered in Raleigh, NC.

The Hamilton Upgrade Kit is on its own level thanks to its premium manufacturing process and use of high quality, genuine chips. The Hamilton Upgrade Kit is based on an ARM-Cortex processor that has been rated Automotive AECQ100 Grade 3. This allows it to function flawlessly in any environment, hot or cold. 

Our elite hardware engineering team designed the PCB in Raleigh, NC, and it is manufactured using premium gold-plating techniques to ensure it will continue to perform in the long run. 

Hamilton Motor Company employs some of the most skilled vehicle systems engineers in the world to ensure that Hamilton Upgrade Kits retain all factory Subaru features and never sacrifice any functionality of the OEM system. Our team has tuned the Hamilton Upgrade Kit to use your factory microphone to ensure high-quality phone calls. 

The Hamilton Guarantee. We treat you the way we want to be treated.

This product is protected by our 3-year Hamilton Guarantee. We vow to take great care of you before, during, or after your purchase. This includes repairing or replacing your unit should it have issues within three years of purchase.
