Alright, well there's good news and bad news - Good news is the legacy was still there Bad news is it was completely gutted - and i mean brutally gutted. I would have taken a pic if i had my phone. it looks like someone was after the ECU/ wiring harness and took anything that had a plug on the end both inside the car and in the engine bay. (so no part number on that harness ya'll were looking for) The other good news for me was that i snooped around in the trunk of the car (something i didn't do the first time and found....the radio!) :lol:dirt cheap too....however, I'm planning on doing the Impreza iPod mod with it rather then the aux-in.

Headed back to the junk yard right now - I'll see what i can find

I'm the guy that pulled this out of the 2.5i limited - there are 3 part numbers for what he has - 92174ag05a (just the pocket) 81870ag10a (wiring harness from pocket to plug...this is seen in the pictures with the white sticker on it) (labeled adapter cord - sold for about 40 bucks) 86257xa10a (aux box) When I did this same mod, I bought these three thinking i would do what you all are trying to do... i didn't end up using the harness, and mounted an ipod with a pro clip to the right of my radio - (didn't want the aux-in to be in the console after all) Now i have a switch that goes between my ipod and an additional aux in the console (in case someone else brings an mp3 player into my car) so i won't be of much help with the other harness (plug to radio) until i go back to the wrecked car; hopefully this weekend. (I also decided to just go with the jazzy mod instead of the hugely expensive 07 radio.)...i would have pulled the radio out of this 2.5i limited, but it was already gone:mad:

el5y, you are my freaking hero. I knew I had seen something like that, but didn't know where it was. I guess i'll order another roll connector - is there any secret to getting it off?

So i did this mod and it worked great for about a day or two. While driving, i heard kind of a snap from the wheel, and my air bag light went on. Tested audio controls and horn - nothing. I'm guessing that little disc that spins behind the wheel (holds the plugs for the air bag, audio controls, etc) has a fault in it now. Really irritating. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to take a road trip this week without an airbag:eek:

fixored:lol:

Nice find - that's amazing. I sure hope that after all that work he didn't skimp on screens - you would have to have something transreflective

hey if anyone needs a lilliput remote, i found one of my old ones from years gone by. I'm not sure if these were specific to particular models, but it's the black remote, white buttons (except red power button) and red 'lilliput' across the top. If you need it, hit me up with an address and i'll drop it in the mail free of charge:)

*votes for anderson's old avatar* Oh, and i've been looking for a good tent. Thanks!

Then again, think of all the other uses 700 bucks can bring....maybe one day they'll not be so expensive.

Alright, I started a new thread for my part out. Most of my setup is there. Nemo has dibs for a day or two on everything until he tells me otherwise. Here's the link: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1898809#post1898809

The crazy thing is, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just at a point in life where i need some cash for some other things. I know you never get back what you put into a carputer, but hey, it was great for a few months i had it, and hopefully i'll make someone else's life easier with selling the parts for a good deal. I did the OEM navi conversion before I started work on my carputer, and to tell you the truth, i didn't like it at all. Subaru's system just looks sooo dated - if i could do it again, i'd just buy the subaru touchscreen and use the Garmin/kenwood brain as was done in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71423&highlight=navigation

For those of you that were interested, i'm posting a lot of my carputer pieces here, hopefully by the end of the night. Spent my memorial day uninstalling them out of the car I'll post a link to the classified thread here when i post it up.

They're using destinator IIRC - by word of mouth, the iguidance plugin should be comming in the comming weeks for RC3

Yup - it sure doesn't work. Oh, and i didn't father a son...That i know of anyway:lol:

Hey just FYI: My life decided to move a little faster then i had anticipated so i'll probably be putting my project up for sale within the week. I'll start here and let ya'll have first dibs, then on to ebay. If you're thinking about buying parts, hold off for a few days:)

Very little work is needed to fit a touchscreen in the DD kit - fitment just isn't that great for us LHD folks. Also, if you have the airbag indicator on your clock, if you disconnect it the airbag warning light pops up. Don't know if that's an issue with the liberty.

I'm pretty sure burger has a RHD vehicle (which that kit drops into w/o problems) as he said he has a MY07 liberty.

The 629 in my last car didn't have auto on. Have they redone the 629?

Alright, located my problem. The two USB cables i had strung underneath the driver's seat had gotten pinched inroute, and were shorting sometimes during motion. The short would cause the MB to go into immediate protection mode, as well as the M3. That's not a bad price on the EBY701 if it's shipped...I like the 701 compared to the 619 and 629 as the 701 has auto on, and the others require solider-on modifications. Also, the M1 won't fit in the case: M1 Dimmensions: 6.31" x 1.77" Original psu: 3.93" x .98" Now i'm just waiting for the final release of Centrafuse 2.0 to be released...i love this setup:D

12 is an 8awg directly from the battery, ground is 8awg to a drilled and sanded bolt underneath the rear seat. So i took everything apart (no fun) and checked all my power wires, ground, etc. It all looked good for the most part. As it turns out, the problem was solved when i unpluged my USB hub. I wonder if i'm over drawing on my 5v line because of all the usb devices i've got pluged in... The PX board might only require 13 watts or so, but that's on the 12+ rail. If the hard drive is also on the 5v rail, i can easily see there being an overload because the M3 only provides a max of 6 amps on the 5+ line giving somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 watts. Here's all the usb devices: All of the onboard usb spaces are filled, and one has a 4 port non-powered hub for the mouse, touchscreen and wifi. Bluetooth GPS dvd-RW 802.11g Wifi Wireless laptop mouse Touch screen I'm going to try a different hub, and plugging things in one at a time to see if i can find the cluprit.

The M3 will regulate voltages as low as 6 volts for a little while, but not more then a minute. I'm pretty sure that with only the carputer on this power line there deff. wouldn't be a reason for the voltage to drop to less then 12. I'm thinking i've got a soldier somewhere that isn't making a complete connection because it's only doing then when i'm driving - if i start the car and idle in one place it stays on.

Alright - i'm nearly complete with my install - only a little bit of trouble shooting to go (i'll get to that) First, the case: Something inportant to mention: The M3-ATX doesn't really fit in the case anymore that i re-installed the USB/audio card on the front. It's probably better that it's out of the case too for ventiliation purposes. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07398.jpg And the cable adapters: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07400.jpg This was the original PSU that i ripped out: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07401.jpg The space it's all getting shoved in: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07402.jpg Xp Loaded: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07405.jpg Centrafuse RC2 Loading: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07407.jpg Centrafuse RC2 Loaded: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07411.jpg The End Result? http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/alaskajoel/DSC07427.jpg Alright, now for the problem solving. Someone needs to correct me if i'm wrong, because i may not entirely understand the M3-ATX power supply. The computer loads perfect, hybernates great, and resumes great almost every time. The problem is after Centrafuse is loaded and i'm playing music or something usually within 10-15 minutes, everything dies. The power supply just gives up, and i'm left with a blank screen. So i'll pull over, turn off the engine, wait a minute, turn the engine back on, and it'll boot again. It'll run fine for another 10-15 min or so, and then die again. Kinda weird, but i guess that's the nature of carputers. I ripped everything apart again to make sure there's not a heat problem, and with it being a cool 60 degrees in my car, it still does it. The M3 says it's 120 watts, but i'm only using the 20 pin atx connector - not the sata, hard driver, or other connectors. Would this be overloading it if i only use that one plug? I'm going to try and unplug all of my other devices tommorow as this didn't happen until i put everything together for the final time (meaning i finally pluged in my dvd-rw, bluetooth, wireless mouse, wi-fi card, etc) I'm guessing i just overloaded it, but i really don't have a clue. Other then that, it's great! If ya'll have any bright ideas, i'm all ears (i guess the only other problem is i may be getting engaged by the end of the summer and need some extra coin...when that happens, MR. carputer is the first to get sold)
