Subaru Car Audio Upgrades UK

Subaru car audio buying guide 2026

Upgrading the audio in your Subaru is one of the easiest ways to modernise an older cabin or bring a newer model up to the spec you want. Whether you drive a daily runabout or a weekend car, the right head unit, speakers and amplifier make every journey sound better. This guide walks through the parts that matter, the brands we trust and the fitting kit your Subaru needs for a clean, factory style result.

Stereos and head units for your Subaru

A modern double DIN or single DIN stereo is the centre of any Subaru audio upgrade. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring wireless navigation, calls and music straight to the dash, while DAB radio adds crystal clear digital stations. We stock head units to fit the standard opening in most Subaru models, with the correct fascia and wiring so the install looks original.

Speakers and speaker upgrades

Factory speakers are usually the weakest link. Swapping them for quality component or coaxial sets sharpens vocals, tightens bass and lifts the whole sound stage. We offer direct fit sizes for your Subaru along with the adapters and spacers needed for a secure mount. Pair them with a small amplifier for a noticeable step up in clarity and volume.

Amplifiers and subwoofers

If you want real depth, an amplifier and subwoofer transform the low end without drowning out the music. We supply compact underseat subs for tight Subaru boots and full size enclosures for bigger installs, plus four channel and mono amplifiers to drive them cleanly. Our team can help you match power ratings so nothing is over or under driven.

Compatibility and fitting

Every Subaru needs the right interface parts so a new stereo drops in neatly and keeps your factory features working. We include or recommend the following with each order:

• Fascia adapter. Frames the new stereo to the Subaru dash for a factory look.
• ISO harness. Connects the head unit to your wiring without cutting plugs.
• Steering wheel control adapter. Keeps your stalk and wheel buttons working.
• Aerial adapter. Matches the factory aerial plug to the new radio.
• CANbus lead. Retains dash messages and ignition feed on supported models.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Smartphone integration is the most requested Subaru upgrade. CarPlay and Android Auto mirror maps, messages and your favourite apps on a bright touchscreen, with voice control for safer driving. Most of our screens offer wired and wireless options, so you can leave the phone in your pocket and still enjoy full connectivity on every trip.
