Looking for part number for 2005 Outback XT accelerator pedal assembly (or just the position sensor if I can get just that, but rumor has it I need the whole assembly). Much Thanks! Tom

Do you have a part number for the pedal assembly? I was looking online but couldn't easily find the part...

has anyone got an update on this issue? My wife's car just started doing this, about 1x per week. Very annoying and dangerous. Since it's so intermittent, I can't get it to a repair shop before it clears and I worry diagnostic won't turn anything up and they will have to start throwing parts at it. It would be nice if others have found a solution... One new piece of info for me - it did it the other day while in cruise control so I can't see it's got anything to do with the pedal positioning sensor... Tom

Just finished changing the plugs on a 2005 XT outback. Thanks so much for this thread. Here are my few hints: 1. Battery and air filter box removal a must for my year 2. Remove the one 'button' that holds some type of fireproof matting on the fenders on both sides. The button is up toward the front. Just pry it off but don't rip the matting. It doesn't look like it will add much room, but it makes the world of different. They just rotate down and out of the way. 3. No need for 1/4" driver. I just used a regular wrench with a slight bend (offset wrench). A good collect of extensions pretty nice to have. 4. The swivel joint (universal, whatever) makes life much harder. No feel and it binds. I can't imagine trying to feel how tight the plugs are with that thing, and the binding wouldn't give good torque readings. A 2" extension with a 5/8 spark plug socket works perfect. Just pull the ratchet off before you back the plug out all the way or you can't anything out. 5. Passenger side rear was the hardest one for me 6. 180 deg twist didn't work for me, but I did have to twist them in all kinds of different ways to get them out. You have to unplug them! I was under the impression some people didn't unplug all of them. No idea how they can do this without unplugging them 7. anti seize compound on the new plugs makes threading them in by hand real nice and gives good feel for tightening them. 8. There is no feeling or click to putting the boot back on. They just slide on and that's that. I was nervous since I expected SOME feel to that... No issue with sliding on the boot. Just went on... I do think that this year must be easier than earlier years since it wasn't too bad. Not a lot of room, but enough. I am fairly mechanically inclined, have done spark plugs on a number of other vehicles (including Ford Ranger with 8 plugs for 4 cyl that are HARD compared to this) and was nervous about doing it. I shouldn't have been. Time = 2 1/2 hours

Just in case anyone else wants to do this, the proclip holder that works with the cable that jazzy sells is in fact the Neo prolink v3 style. The proclip holder does work with that cable. I haven't done the full install, but tested the holder and cable. Works like a charm. Holds the cable permanently, and you just dock and undock the ipod just like you would in a regular ipod docking station. Can't wait to do the full install this weekend! Tom

Subaru Outback XT 2005 I have the jazzy aux-in installed, and want a mounting solution for a 5th Gen video ipod. I'm planning on using jazzy's ipod cable for charging and lineout. I really want something that will let me leave the cable attached all the time, and just dock and undock the ipod. I think I found that in the proclip padded holder with tilt swivel for cable attachment item. The problem is that they are cable specific and I'm not sure which on the jazzy cable is. Squinting at the pictures, I believe it is a Neo prolink v3 style because of the arrow shown in both pictures. See bottom for picture from proclip. 1) Does anyone have any experience with this holder in a newer subaru. Does the mount interfere with the vent significantly? Left or right mount? Any suggests? 2) Is this the right cable style? 3) Other options? My one complaint is the price tag ($50 + $30 for the mount). Thanks!
