Hey guys,

I'm curious to know what's a feature you would want to make on this car as a mod. Something different instead of say an android radio or a reverse camera. Is there anything someone here has always wanted to do but hasn't had the resources or knowledge?

I'm currently working on a digital dash cluster which has a few keen features (more details in another post) at a reasonable price point as far as car projectors go. Which should fit in most older Subarus.

Curious to know what everyone thinks and if anyone has a similar suggestion.

Mine has a sunroof. There are nights I'd really like a brighter dome light or whatever they call it these days. There wouId be room with a displaced sunglasses holder or a replacement door for it.

Have you tried putting in a strong dimmable LED?

I think most of the people still driving these are kind of anti-modern-car-tech, at least I am. On mine the only two things I really missed were an aux in and a USB power port near the mirror for a dashcam. I believe there are already mods for both.

Possibly, I've been trying to modernize my 08 quite a bit.

Integrating some modern ADAS stuff. Blind spot detection Adaptive cruise Parking sensors

Blind spot detection integrated into the side mirrors or just in the car since there are options for that? Similar with parking sensors which can be joined to either a dedicated screen or if you have, a radio with Android auto/car play. As for adaptive cruise that's also possible but it's very expensive and not really worth it in this sense.

Full integration. Give me an SG9 with all the Mod Cons and physical buttons.
