My big problem was finding the correct size pins though. I couldn't steal from existing ones because I wanted steering wheel controls too.

I treid to put in an AUX cable today using new pins (so I can keep steering wheel controls) but the pins I tried to use didn't work. I tried using molex pins from a standard computer power cable. Too big. Anyone know where I can get some pins that would fit the bill? I guess I'll go back to radioshack and try to find something.

full both sides.

I did this install on my automatic yesterday, and it works fine. Some notes from the install: - The white connector by the base of the steering column: There was no wire (and therefore pin) in position 6 on the car side of the connector. There was a wire in the 6 position on the steering wheel side of the connector. So I used a wire tap to connect my wire above the connector on the wheel side. It was a little tight, but I got it in there. - The other 3 connections that needed to be made at the steering column I connected on the car side of the white harness. I cut these wires and connected my wires from the radio to the white harness. - I removed all panels from the car instead of just moving them out of the way. Disconnecting 4 or 5 plugs wasn't took much to ask for the added room. - You HAVE to remove the wheel to put the controls on even if you have an auto with shift controls. They have to be screwed in, and therefore the old ones need to be unscrewed, and the only way to do this is to take the wheel off. The only thing that went wrong was when I put the wheel back on I guess I did it off center. It looked straight when I put it back on, but I think it was because the wheel got a little turned when I was trying to break the steering wheel nut. I used 5 wire taps, 4 at the radio and one at the steering column. I used 3 wire nuts for the cut wires at the steering column. I used all 16g wire, and the taps were for 16g as well.

Ok, so I think it's safe to assume that the steering wheel controls will work w/o the AUX mod. Safe enough to be positive about trying the install. I think I'll start there and move to the AUX in when I get bored. I'd be very suprised if there isn't a way to do both. Someone just needs to sit down and problem solve.

I installed my 07 radio into my 05 today. I didn't bother with the AUX in or anything, just plugged it right in and it worked great. I'll deal with the AUX and/or SAT when I'm feeling more adventurous. I know it has been said that the steering wheel controls won't work anymore with the new stereo, but from the instructions posted by someone else on this site, I don't understand why they wouldn't work with the 07 unit. Instructions: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26232 The wires you connect to on the back of the stereo are still there, would they not control the radio anymore with the 07 unit? I ordered the controls, and have them sitting here. Has anyone tried to install them on an 07 unit yet? I might have to be the test rat on this one.

I never had a sub in my car though so there is no "just plug right in" for me. I guess I'll have to find the harnesses for the sub, could someone point me in the right direction? goneskiian, please post in this or a new thread what you find out about thr radio controls. I'd like to get them hooked up ASAP.

My 07 headunit is on the way. I ordered some steering wheel controls too, so it'll be a fun project. Anyone know what it would take to put in an 07 underseat sub in an 05 car with an 07 HU? Are they the same as the 05 sub (someone on here said they went BACK to the 05 connection type)? I'm just trying to figure the best way to get an OEM sub in my 05 that will have an 07 HU. What wiring would I need/need to fab up?

Thanks so much for this info! There is no longer any doubt about if both parts are needed THANK YOU to all those who have lent information to this end.
