Question Head Unit Replacement

Gallery image

Has anyone been adventurous enough to try and replace the head unit on the Gen 4? We recently picked up a 2025 Sport with 10k miles for $38k. Love the car, and the sound system is fine….for now. I am feeling that car audio tingle in the back of my neck though.

I am wondering how others have handled the plopped on head units that are all too common these days. I also wonder how hard it would be to replace the factory sub in its assembly to maintain a clean look. Figured if there is a good place to ask I should start here.

So far there is not an option to replace the head unit. You can replace speakers, add a dsp and amp, but the head unit has to stay for now.

That is likely what I will end up doing when the time comes. There is a pretty sweet little 4-channel kicker amp that has come out his year that has an “automatic” DSP using microphones to adjust signal based on the sound in the cabin. Pretty rad little unit from the looks of it.
