Wedge Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I saw this over at techinfo.subaru.com. Will this kit work on us 08 Legacy owners as well? On the manual, it appears they show an Impreza radio. Anyone have any info on this? It would be pretty sweet if we can control the ipod directly from our OEM HU. Here is the link to the user's guide. (PDF) http://techinfo.subaru.com/html/downloadFree.jsp?doc_id=190290 and the installation kit instructions. (PDF) http://techinfo.subaru.com/html/downloadFree.jsp?doc_id=190291 It looks like the part # is H621SFG500 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 hrmm, dunno.. but I'm subscribing to see chances are it wont work with 05-07s, they dont seem to have that kind of integration. There is a sat. emblem and a button in these radios but AFAIK the button doesn't do anything. 08s have sat. radio (do 07s?) and an aux. in that only works when you put a signal on it from what the salesman said, thats all I know fo rnow.

str8dwn Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 my 07 has sat radio, which means I can;t use this. I wonder if you could combine the ipod integration and factory sat. I am sure someone will know. -subscribed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller5 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 You know what... that might work. I was skeptical, but looking at it if the Y-cable is the same, it might work. Anyone feeling up to a challenge for the good of the community? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have an update on this. Actually, Fernely told me. Spoke to a Subaru Regional Rep, gave him the part #, it is suppose to be approved this week or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneskiian Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Likely approved for release. Eager to see if this will hook up to the '07+ HU as I've got one in my garage waiting to be installed in my '05 wagon. Subscribe. Cheers! -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'd be willing to be the guinea pig on this. Shouldn't have too much trouble reselling it to someone with a new Impreza if it doesn't work. If anyone finds one available soon be sure to let us all know! Cheers! -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernely Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am going to be following up with the Dealer in a week or 2 to see if the part can be ordered. From the diagram I saw as long as you have a SAT source on the radio this harness should work. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneskiian Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I contacted subarugenuineparts.com and they said these units are available to order. They don't have any in stock but said it's only a couple days away if you order it. I'll be ordering one soon to check it out. Guess I don't need the Aux in plug that I ordered. Oh well, it was only like $15. Then again, I don't know if this will work with the '07 stereo yet do I? Cheers! -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowtipper Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Are the radios in the Impreza and Legacy '08s the same? I seem to be having a hard time locating good specifications on stock audio systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernely Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Not 100% sure but Wedge and Myself are willing to chance it and buy the part. OEM Radios tend to use the same type of Bus networks i.e. forester radio fits a Impreza and so on. As soon as we have the harness in hand I'll post up our results.

Does that mean you're DEFINITELY getting it? I was thinking about chancing it as well but if someone else has already ordered this I'll wait.

dmiller5 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Fernely if you want a few bucks I would be happy to send you $5 or so. I figure it enough people do it then it won't be such a hit to you if it does not work since you are also doing it for our good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks dude I appreciate it, worse case scenario it does not work we just re-sell it back to a new 08 Impreza Owner. not really gonna lose anything.

goneskiian Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm getting one too. I've got an '07 HU that I'll install along with it. We're guessing that as long as there is satellite radio controls this should work. If not....well, like Fernely said, sell it to an '08 Impreza buyer. Cheers! -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can try. :confused: Not sure how it would work though as the HU needs the SAT button to even engage the iPod interface. I'll check it out though.
