puzzled Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have decided to take the plunge into separating the stock radio from the dual HVAC controls in order to install a new radio in my 05 Legacy (Many thanks to #072 for his thread that gave me some ideas) A few days ago I replaced my stock HU with one of the OEM MP3 units. While I was taking both apart, to move my Jazzy board, I came to the conclusion that this would only be slightly different from my V1 remote display install (Link Here). Here is the cliff notes version of the plan: Cut the HVAC control circuit board.Re-Solder the connections to the front circuit board.Make a wire harness to run all the other connections to the main board.Buy an aftermarket radio (NAV, DVD, and Sirius) and mold it into the empty spot. For the curious I have included pictures of the front circuit board un-cut.

XiiiXiii Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice, another pc-board wrench head! I was thinking of seperating the controls too, but I don't have any issues with my stereo so I didn't want to gut mine apart. The PC board looks pretty straight foward, simple 2 sided board, and all the traces are easy to follow. If you was near me I'd lend you my metcal station and microscope. I love buying electronics tools. I bought all that stuff because I was modding playstation 2 back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSTMIZR Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Subscribed Holy hi-res Batman I love doing this kinda stuff too (I can't remeber how many remote displays I've done). This looks like a neat project and I'm anxious to see the progress. Good Luck. Oh BTW, that V1 display was very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzled Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ya know, you can just edit the first post with your pics, unless you are going for higher post counts I am aware of editing posts, how do you think spots 1-5 are going to change? I have been other forums that only allow X amount of IMG tags in a single post. I guess I get them all mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 if you feel like selling this idea/doing it for people when/if this one is a success.. that'd be cool too "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admrl Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Looks like its going well! I found (probably the same) source for those connectors, but they were backordered. They finally came in about two weeks ago. I have everything disassembled, and a friend of mine is cutting the actual radio cage this weekend, so i can start fabbing up the final resting place mount for the cut off portion of the PCB. Theres one or two spots im not crazy about cutting through (not necessary a good path to cut through), but it should be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
