Hi Guys
I live in Aus & want to replace my stock headunit in my 2018 STI but a lot of installers are telling me not to as I will lose to many standard features like clock,keyless entry, lane departure & defogger. Could somebody tell me away around this?

First I've heard about all that, as far as I know the only thing you lose changing out your head unit is the SatNav.

All the installers are telling me this when they go to purchase the wiring harness-
  • The following vehicles settings must be confirmed before removing the headunit as the driver will not be able to access them with an aftermarket unit fitted: Rear Camera Time out, Autolight Sensor, Welcome Lighting, Clock, Interior Light, Defogger, Keyless Entry and One Touch Lane change.

Hey Brett,
You typed your answer in the field box you placed when quoting my post to you, making it look like I posted you're installer quote. You need to type your response AFTER the quote mark ;)

Don't know who you've been talking to but I don't think that's referring to the Levorg, No one touch Lane change for starters and most the others are located elsewhere in our cars, I've watched a youtube video of the install of a Pioneer Unit to a Levorg and none of these issues where mentioned, you can even program the steering wheel controls to work with the new unit in any form you like and you get DAB. Only the satnav is lost. Check it out.

Sorry buddy, just edited it.
I didn’t think installing a head unit would be that hard, but when 2 people from different stores told me the same thing I walked away scratching my head!!

Haha no problem mate, I’d be scratching my head too, in fact I am! Lol
One thing I did think of which may change things is this, what model is your Levorg? The pre 2020’s all have the 7” touchscreen (In Australia anyway) that’s the one I’ve heard isn’t a problem to change. But the new model has an 11” screen and that incorporates a lot more, climate controls etc. if you have the 11”, OR if the installers you spoke to THOUGHT you had the 11”, then that may be an issue like they’ve said. If you do have the 7” let me know and I’ll search for that video on YouTube for you and post the link here ;)

Your a legend thanks Guvna,
My Levorg is a 2018 so it definitely a 7”screen. It really shouldn’t be that hard. It’s just everytime they look on the aerpro website for the correct wiring harness, it gives them the message about losing or being unable to change some of the original factory settings and they don’t really want to touch it.‍

This ones a Plug and Play Install

Only thing you seem to lose is the Stock Maps, Starlink (which doesn't work in Aust anyway) and maybe a USB, but I reckon there's a way around the USB bit. Hope this helps ;)

Had mine replaced by myselflast year. The only thing you should pay attention to is the Stock Rear Camera as different voltage can cause malfaction. Bought the Plug & Play kit online but still have to pay extra bucks to have someone fix the camera for me. The other features you mentioned above are still working fine on mine.

Did anyone have issues losing the side and front cameras aswell? I have an installer saying that we will lose the 3 cameras, and might only have the rear one working after installation?

Online sports betting and casino platforms have become more popular than ever as they offer convenience and increased odds. When gambling online, it might be hard to know which platform is better for your needs. This blog article will compare the pros and cons of both sports betting and casino platforms so that you can make an informed decision on what type of platform to use in the future! The article discusses which online sports betting and casino site is best for you.

What is Betting?

Betting is a form of wagering that people use to gamble on the outcome of events. This can be done in a wide assortment of ways, from simple real-world bets such as "I bet you 10 dollars that I can do 10 pushups" to complicated financial instruments such as futures betting. The online sports betting industry is booming and it is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. There are many websites that offer people access to sport betting, but which one is the best? There are many things to consider before making a decision.

Types of Sports Betting

Sports betting is an exciting opportunity for people to make a lot of money in a short amount of time. However, various types of sports betting are available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Online gambling can allow players be able to access sports bets from any place in the world, so it is important for them to find the best option for their preferences. Sports betting is a massive industry and is a huge part of the casino. Sports betting comes in many forms and with this blog, we will go over the two most popular types. Traditional sports bets are bets that are made outside of an online casino. Online sports betting happens when bettors place wagers on games from a remote location. This includes placing bets on games that happen in person or remotely through the internet (such as watching games live online).

Online Sports Betting

Online sports betting is a source of income for many people. It's great to place bets with players, not just with the casino. Many people like to be able to watch the games and know what their odds are so they can make a good bet. Online sports betting sites provide live streaming of games on any device, which is convenient for those who don't have time to go downtown or wait on a local game. First, it's important to know which type of bets you're strong at. Generally, people are drawn to sports betting because they have a natural knack for predicting probable outcomes. People who understand statistical analysis and can identify trends in teams will probably find online sports betting more enjoyable than casino games.

Benefits of Online Sports Betting

Sports betting is a big part of the world right now and it's getting more people in the games than ever. One of the best ways to play is online at online sportsbooks like Bovada. Online Sports Betting is a new dimension in the world of sports betting. It removes the need to travel to a physical casino and offers a variety of different games. Online Sports Betting is also safer as it is possible to monitor all transactions by using your own internet browser with safeguards in place to ensure that the player is always protected at all times.

Types of Casinos

Casinos are categorized by the type of online casino players can expect to find on their website. There are three main types of casinos - online sports betting, online casino, and gaming machine casinos. Online sports betting is a site that provides betting odds on sporting events such as NFL football games and horse races. They are much more popular in Europe and Asia. Online casino is a site that has gambling games that can be played on computers or mobile phones while gaming machine casinos provide traditional slot machines, poker tables, and other types of electronic gambling devices. Online sports betting and casino offer many different opportunities for players. One of the best is the live casino games that you can play from your phone at any time. Sports betting is another popular option, which will let you place your bets in real-time.

Top 10 Casino Sites

While online sports betting and online casino have existed for years, both have recently experienced a boom in popularity. As of 2017, many people enjoy gambling online rather than going to bars or casinos in person. Online casinos have increased their marketing tactics over the past few years to lure anyone into their web sites with celebrity endorsement and cool branding ideas. Sports betting has exploded into a billion-dollar industry that is now available worldwide. When it comes to gambling games, people are spoilt for choice with a wide range of casino sites available. With a plethora of places you can choose from the question which is the best? One website offers casinos, poker and other betting games so whether you are into slots or table games - they have what you need.

Sports Betting Tips and Guides

Sports Betting is a popular pastime enjoyed by many people. But a lot of people are unaware of how to bet on sports and how to win. SportsBettingTipsandGuides provides valuable information for the online gambler so they have a better chance of winning their bets. Online sports betting is not without its risks, but if you know the right strategies and use them properly, the long-term benefits can outweigh the short-term costs. However, even if you are a knowledgeable bettor with a huge bankroll, it's still important to have an emergency fund in case things go sour.

Conclusion

Online sports betting and casino are both lucrative businesses that can make you stay up late at night. However, when looking at the two industries, there are some clear differences in how they work. The sports betting industry is not a regulated industry and depends on the person placing the bet to keep a watchful eye on whether or not they are getting their money's worth. Some people would argue that this makes it easier because the gambling is all done at home but no one should place bets with money they can't afford to lose. The casino industry is much more heavily regulated and dependable than sports betting as long as you know what your doing.
Why do we get this crap?
