I am going to by my first Sub OB xt ltd. To nav or not.

 

I realy would like to pull the stock stero and add a Pioneer navic 3 system but I have not found a way to replace the factory dash panel around the AC.

Here's a picture of mine with the replacement dash panel from installer.com. It's not bad... definitely not as nice as the original factory panel though. It has more of a matte finish, and the factory panel was glossy. It doesn't fit 100% perfectly either, but it's close enough.

Also, to power up the antenna amp the stock radio must be on AND turned to FM.....

 

True, although the reason I ran into this problem is because I replaced the stock deck with an aftermarket one. My aftermarket deck has a remote antenna lead, so I should be good to go once I've attached it to the harness.

This was very helpful. Thanks! I was trying to figure out why the FM reception was so poor on the aftermarket deck I just installed, but one of your links answered my question. I have to hook up the power antenna lead to send power to the antenna amp. I never even thought of that, since there's no power antenna in sight on the Legacy! I guess I'll have my dashboard in pieces again tomorrow...
