BAC5.2

There have been people who have made iPhone mounts for the cubby. You could easily route cables behind the dash that way. For the power to the radar detector, there are blank spots in the fuse box that are ACC switched. You could try that, or you could use mini-fuse-taps from Autozone and piggyback off of the fuse for another low-draw circuit (like the ashtray light or something).

Well, that's part of the thing. I would imagine that code would only need to be written so startup boots iGuidance on monitor 1, and RR/CF/Whatever front end on monitor 2. That doesn't seem hard. My google toolbar always boots to my right monitor, and object-dock to the top of the left monitor. I don't need the front-end to extend to both monitors, I would just need a carPC capable of simultaneously running two applications. Something most dual-cores can handle with enough ram.

I simply don't think I have the time to devote to the research and development of this. I bet it would be fun, and doable, but not something that would be done overnight. Still, it's intriguing. The problem would be having two touch screen VGA monitors working in unison. Again, not impossible (Kenwood does, or used to, have units that could pigtail touch monitors together).

1) You are an ass. 2) I run dual monitors with one desktop at home. Since most CarPC's use desktop or laptop components, why is it so ZOMG UNTHINKABLE to run two monitors in the car? I guess anyone running dual monitors at home or work is stupid... and a gangster thug. 3) My logic for having two screens is that I want Nav on top. Permanently. The bottom would be for all other A/V integration. I don't care if you think it's dumb, it's what I want and is why I asked.

My outback has manual HVAC, so the Scoshe kit will work no problem.

I am thinking about a twin-screen setup in my car. What I want: GPS on a screen where the OE Nav screen would go Audio control on the lower screen. I want both to be touch, the upper really operating solely as GPS (input directions and such there), and the lower solely operating as audio/video. I want radio, CD/DVD, Possibly XM, and control of an iPod. I also want bluetooth pairing with my phone so I can talk hands free. I also want steering wheel integration. I want it to look as OEM as possible. I don't want to constantly be fiddling with it. I want it to behave like it came that way from the factory. My initial idea was to use a Pioneer F90BT in the dash and have a second screen up top for GPS but Pioneer said that they don't have a unit capable of that. The member Reback (I think) did something similar to what I want with a kenwood 8120, but that model is discontinued, and I'd rather not have a screen that doesn't sit flush in the lower dash. See it here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2017500&postcount=185 Ideas? I don't know anything about Carputers, is there a setup anyone could recommend that would do what I want? How much would it cost?

What about the headunit pinouts for the steering wheel controls?

4EAT and 5EAT are both VTD cars now. The days of MPT clutch packs are gone. They all default at 55/45 now.

LSD's don't shift power from side to side. They simply lock and unlock (and for the viscous varieties, an infinite range in between). They don't actively hunt for traction. They passively couple the rear wheels together when more slip occurs on one wheel than the other. Still, the fundamental issue comes from the automatic transmission. Either that, or a lack of driver experience. I know none of the 5MT Subaru's I've ever had have been "wiggly" or "unsafe" feeling, and driving my wife's 09 Impreza (which has an automatic) in the snow this year definitely feels less stable than my car.

1) The problem is because it's an auto. Drive any newer automatic Subaru and you get the same thing. The 5MT's don't have that problem, or not to the same extent as the automatic guys. 2) The current OB suspension was unveiled in 2000. The multilink rear suspension hasn't changed very much.

It's because it's an auto.

The high beams in my Outback seem alright, but the low beams are TERRIBLE. I guess for someone coming from a car with crappy optics, they'd be OK. But coming from a modified-headlight Forester and a First-generation (face-lifted) Legacy, I've had two Subaru's in a row that have had awesome head lights.

Anyone have any information about better reverse lights for the wagons?

How many wires were there? It wouldn't be difficult to wire up a switch so you could have both units plugged in at the same time. When winter comes, just flip the switch (located under the seat or in the glovebox). Spring time, just flip the switch back.

Cool, so you have BOTH computers in the car now, right? And just swap the plug as you change tires? That's awesome!

I'll trade + cash my 09 Outback black cloth interior for black leather F&R seats. I also have an 09 Impreza Hatch interior that I would like to trade for leather (tan cloth).
