Aux cable will be for wired remote and the other is for the mic. I have the aux and mic plugged into the back of the new unit.

So with the Pioneer Connects2 harness adapter on my STI, the AUX input is a separate cable altogether. If you head to the Connects2 website they do offer wiring diagrams of their adapters and it may match up to what you have so you can work out what’s what. Will try and get a picture of the back of my Pioneer unit tomorrow for you.

As promised, have some annotated pictures of the back of my Pioneer head unit in my 2017 STI. Not sure it'll help at all but that's how mine's wired up. Steering controls all working, only thing which isn't is DAB as I want to use the factory antenna but can't find an adapter for it. Don't fancy having a third party antenna stuck to the windscreen when the car came with DAB as standard!

Thank you, I will take a look tomorrow as I am pretty sure I plugged them in as above unless I plugged it into the incorrect port 🙂
February 9, 20214 yr Author So I hit a patch of ice under the snow as I came out my street this morning 😞 So frustrating that this has happened, not sure if it is worth repairing or replacing? Looks like it could be cracked. Not sure if there is any suspension damage or not yet.

It looks like just the lip area that's damaged. Not sure if it is repairable or not? Yeah I will check suspension as soon as I can, hoping it isn't too bad though.

I think I'd have been less annoyed if it had happened by me doing something stupid, because then it was my own fault.
February 9, 20214 yr Author Had an update from my friend who is a mechanic and a few repair places and they have said that the wheel should be replaced and not fixed. I will have to order a new one. Any creative ideas on what I can use the old one for?

I'd rather use it for something and not waste it.
March 3, 20214 yr Author So, there hasn't been much to update recently. I did get a new replacement wheel so I am back on the road. More upgrades to come soon though. Did manage to get out for a shoot with my friend yesterday. I have added some of the photos below: I am tempted to wrap the car again already too. Not sure whether I want keep the satin black (which I do love) or try midnight purple. What do you guys think?

March 10, 20214 yr i wonder what one would look like in the proper old school WRC (not wr blue that the new age sti's were).

Especially as we didn't even get a WR blue for the 11 - 14 STI in the UK. There's too many colour options to choose from

They are more bothered about sponsering horse trials and golf tourneys now rather than motorsport 😞
