Our take on the 2016-2018 Subaru Forester Hamilton Conversion Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

The Hamilton Conversion Kit replaces the factory radio in a 2016-2018 Subaru Forester with a touchscreen head unit that runs wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. It is built to keep what the car already has: the Harman Kardon premium amplifier, the backup camera, the steering wheel buttons and EyeSight driver assist all keep working. It fits every original radio and trim version of those model years, which makes it a simpler path than a generic double-DIN swap that needs separate adapters and harnesses. Shoppers who want modern phone integration without losing factory features are the target; those who want a bigger aftermarket screen with its own amp and camera should compare carefully.

About the 2016-2018 Subaru Forester Hamilton Conversion Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

This conversion kit replaces the factory radio in 2016-2018 Subaru Forester models with a touchscreen that supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. It supports every factory radio version for those years, whether made by Fujitsu or Clarion, and all trim versions.

The kit is plug-and-play. The original harness needs no splicing or modification. It keeps the original microphone, steering wheel controls and backup camera working. It also supports the Harman Kardon premium amplifier and upgraded audio package, if equipped, and has no impact on the optional EyeSight driver assist technology, if equipped.

Outside of CarPlay and Android Auto, the device runs Hamilton OS, which lets you load apps directly onto it. It has 4G SIM support for T-Mobile and other USA SIM carriers, plus FM (non-HD) and AM radio. It does not support native XM radio, but the Sirius XM app works in CarPlay and Android Auto. It does not support playback via DACs or MP3 devices, though the harness has AUX L and R inputs for custom setups.
