Wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto. Retain Subaru factory features.
Upgrade your 2015–2018 Subaru Outback with the Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto. This system adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to your factory screen while keeping your original Subaru features.
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 above all. Expert engineered in Raleigh, NC.
The Hamilton Upgrade Kit stands alone on the market due to its premium manufacturing process and use of quality internal chips. The Hamilton Upgrade Kit is based on an ARM-Cortex processor that is rated for Automotive AEC‑Q100 Grade 3. This means it can operate in any environment: from the hottest deserts of Saudi Arabia to the Alaskan wilderness in wintertime.
Our hardware engineering team designed this PCB in Raleigh, NC, and it is produced using premium gold-plating techniques to ensure durability and performance.
Hamilton Motor Company employs some of the finest vehicle systems engineers in the world to make sure Hamilton Upgrade Kits work with all factory Subaru features and never compromise OEM systems. The Hamilton Upgrade Kit is tuned to work with your factory microphone so call quality sounds great.
