Default Jdm stereo to UK stereo

I need to replace the Levorg stereo for one that works in the UK and am really considering the Idoing stereo on Ali Express but also thinking get a UK version Subaru one as I only ever use my phone for Spotify and Waze.

Looking at stereo on ebay and none, aftermarket or subaru have 2 holes for the dials like mine but 3.

Any ideas.

Like many JDM models before it, your Levorg comes with the JDM dual zone version of the Auto A/C controls which only uses 2 dials and more buttons and has it's own surround.
It also appears to have the Navi setup as against just radio with the extra ***** and buttons either side of the screen.







It also didn't come with radio or navi but a blanking plate (below), the chosen entertainment option being Factory/Dealer fit at point of sale from a separate catalogue.
Unable to currently locate a copy as Subaru Japan has a habit of updating its website on a regular fashion and not always including the older model brochures.
I have attached the equivalent Nai & Audio section from the WRX STI catalogue



The Levorg sport that was available in Australia has the standard UK/Europe/Aus
3 dial layout.

As to what you do to replace it, offhand, I've no idea.
Here's a different navi system installation into a Revision C (as against E) model, you would need to get the plain audio surround I highlighted previously, current part number is 66065VA311 which comes with a protective film to protect the piano black finish


You already have the A/C controls so not needed and probably the navi fitting kit as well.

Try reading this thread again....
72311VA300 is the 2 dial control panel you already have.





66065VA311 is the plain black surround that fits the above and would replace the current unit for the sat nav you have fitted that has the extra buttons and dials.




66065VA311


to give you......... (shown with the protective covering on the panel black finish)



Megazip, Partsouq and Amayama don't list 66065VA311 because the parts databases they use only go up to the end of 2017/early 2018.
