2015–2021 Subaru WRX Car Stereo, Speaker & Dash Kit Fitment
A 2015–2021 Subaru WRX takes a single- or double-DIN aftermarket stereo using a Metra 95-8907HG (or 99-8907HG) dash kit, with steering-wheel controls retained via a plug-and-play harness. Front and rear door speakers are 6.5"; the dash holds small 2.5"–3" tweeters. Harman Kardon trims add a factory amp.

Front and rear doors take 6.5" speakers; the dash corners have small 2.5"–3" tweeters. The base 6-speaker system is straightforward, but Harman Kardon premium trims add a factory amp and an 8" rear-deck subwoofer — those need an amp-retention interface so you don't lose output. Subaru door mounts use a slightly larger bracket, so a speaker adapter (82-8901) is usually needed when fitting standard 6.5" speakers. Not 100% sure of your trim or system? Send us your VIN and we'll match it exactly.
The 2015–2021 WRX is a brilliant car saddled with a forgettable factory stereo — which makes it one of the most satisfying audio upgrades we do. The dash drops in a clean single- or double-DIN head unit with the right Metra kit, so you can add Apple CarPlay or Android Auto without hacking up the trim. Below are the exact dash kits, plug-and-play harnesses and the WRX speaker adapter we stock for your car. Running a Harman Kardon system? We'll keep your factory amp and sub working. Rather have it done right the first time? Our techs wire WRXs every week at our Chilliwack shop.

2015–2021 Subaru WRX stereo upgrade — FAQ
What size speakers fit a 2015–2021 Subaru WRX?
Both the front and rear doors take 6.5" speakers, and the dash corners hold small 2.5"–3" tweeters. Subaru's door openings use a slightly larger mount than a standard 6.5", so most installs use the Metra 82-8901 adapter (listed above) to drop aftermarket 6.5" speakers straight in.
Can I put a double DIN Apple CarPlay stereo in my WRX?
Yes. With the Metra 95-8907HG (or the 99-8907HG) dash kit, a 2015–2021 WRX takes a full double-DIN Apple CarPlay / Android Auto receiver cleanly, with an OEM-style silver-and-black finish. Want a single-DIN deck instead? The 99-8907HG and 99-8905B both cover that.
Will I lose my steering-wheel controls or backup camera?
No. A plug-and-play harness keeps your steering-wheel controls working — the iDatalink Maestro HRN-HRR-SU3 retains the factory data features, and a compatible head unit keeps the backup camera. On Harman Kardon trims with a factory amp and rear-deck sub, we add an amp-retention interface so you don't lose any output.
What dash kit do I need for a (2015–2021) WRX?
For a double-DIN stereo the Metra 95-8907HG is the WRX go-to (Metra rates this exact kit for 2015–2021 WRX/STI). The 99-8907HG covers single or double DIN, and the 95-8905B / 99-8905B are alternate double- and single-DIN kits. All are in stock above with live pricing.
