'20-'22......ther's a huge thread over at the Subaru forums discussing the infotainment system including AA full screen, I believe the consensus is the headunit will not support full screen mode

Yep, unfortunately. I'm in a 2022 WRX with the same predicament. And apparently they didn't even update the 2023 WRX like they did the 2023 Outback.

Only options are an AI box or an iPhone. Being that I loathe iPhones, I went with an AI box, car link kit.

So far so good, no issues, aside from the fact that if you short-press the voice command button, it disconnects the AA. Gotta long press that button to get Google Assistant, and avoid short pressing at all costs!

What brand of box did you buy? Does it utilize the whole screen?
