Took 4-6 hours, but I was routing of all new cables for the amps.

Sold everything to another member before I sold the car. Went easily back to stock thanks to SVXDC!

After trying both the Cleansweep and RF 360.2, I can tell you this i the best way to go. Pure, clean sound with no interference or multiple knobs to mess with.

According to the PDF Spec sheet for the 3.0R, the radio is just "CD Radio" and there is no mention of anything else. The 2.5gt spec sheet mentions an "Original Subaru radio for 6 discs" but that's it. It could be that the spec sheets are not very well made, or the pictures are from another LHD market or these Legacies have an HU that looks like a McIntosh (maybe it's just black?)

If you squint just enough, you can see the black McIntosh badge protruding in the middle below the slot.

Subaru Costa Rica seems to have the MacIntosh in LHD. Wonder if the freqs are the same as US.

Is the 2% below invoice new for this year? I ask this because I've used the VIP program to buy two Subies (02 WRX, 05 STi) and lease an 04 Forester XT. The three times I used the program I got the cars at invoice not 2% below. Does anyone know if the program has changed recently? I was hoping to get a specB (or LSTi:cool: ) with the program when the FXT lease is up in October.

 

The company I work for qualifies me for the supplier program, which as far as I know is the same ol' VIP program. Perhaps there's two VIP program levels? Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Yes, there are two levels of the VIP program. Not sure if it's new this year, but suppliers do get 2% below invoice.

I too bought my car this way and haggled a bit more to get a great deal. I paid well under invoice when all was said and done.

Also look for sports events sponsored by Subaru. For taking part, you can also get the VIP discount.

Only downside is they typically omit the STI models from eligibility. But, since the Legacy STI wasn't coming over anyway, not too big a deal for me.
