The fact that you installed the under-seat sub should have absolutely no impact on this problem. However, to be on the safe side, only tell them what you need to: that your HVAC/Radio is screwed up. Hopefully they'll have the common sence to replace the radio.

Well, we switched out his radio on monday, and to my knowledge.... the problem has not happened again. My customer is going to be testing out this new radio for a little while (to be sure this problem isn't coming back), then he'll be bringing the car in to have us install the Jazzy Engineering AUX in adapter. So basically, we're playing the waiting game at this point.

This case is actually the first we have encountered!

Not sure what you have in mind... are you looking for a reference number for the repair I'm talking about on the specB?

Hey everyone! Neal Demazure here, I'm one of the service writers here at Subaru of Milford. One of my customers has been having this very problem with his spec-B and we believe we have found the problem (and hopefully the solution). Basically it goes like this: Subaru (for whatever reason) decided to route at least part of the HVAC wire harness thru the radio in the LGTs. This is why this problem happens to both the HVAC and the radio simultaniously. After going over TSB# 10-75-04 15-112-04 and consulting some of the local technicians we are more sure than not that replaceing the radio unit will solve the problem. We will be doing this work on my customers car on monday (assuming we can get the nessicary parts in time) at which time I'll report back and let you all know the result! In any case, I thought it might be nice to let you (the community) know what the heck is going on with this lettle electrical demon.
