Wagons beware - tailgate electricals

Are iPhone 7's not Lightning cables rather than FireWire?

Subscribing because i love the updates . -
Perfecto. Thank you. For some reason I could only find an Iphone 6 one on his website. Thanks for the help .

Ordered this kit (I phone pro for 05 legacy GT) over 3 years ago, and its been working most awesomely, until recently that is. The male adapter that plugs into my iPhone recently broke some cables. Hence my phone can continue to charge but doesn't play music anymore. Anyone know where i can get a replacement cable (that will play & charge) as a replacement. Looked on their site (http://www.jazzyengineering.com/) but wasn't confidant. Any help / guidance would be welcomed. I miss my music, this kit was excellent.

I don't think it really matters. I personally wouldn't recommend replacing with a factory harness (Subaru has not improved the wires within it). I personally recommend re-soldering some better wires through the accordion section. Much better (and less expensive) alternative. -

Maybe I should have clarified; I replaced my first harness with a SUBARU factory harness. On the second harness they used the same crap wires that were in my original harness. Hence my original factory harness, and my second SUBARU factory harness both crapped out. I then simply replaced all the wires that pass through the accordian with ones I soldered myself i.e. no more crap Subaru wiring Sorry, I wasn't trying to confuse. -

I did that my first time round, but the same crappy wires were used. Bought me another 3 years, but in the end, had to re-do it again. Soldered them the second time. Hoping (fingers crossed) it will last me at least another 3-4 years . -

I love when dealers check the quality of their work!!! As for feeding the wire through, I used a hollow pen. Just feed the pen through the accordion, fish the wire through it, than pull out the pen...volia -

My radio was also acting funny...Driver side has that wire. It was on its final legs. Replaced it and voila...radio was as good as new. -

Finally had the opportunity to post pictures. Opened up both accordions (driver and passenger sides). Had two wires failed on the driver side and 5 on the passenger side. Spend the good part of a Saturday cutting and soldering 12 wires (did some others as preventive maintenance). Now, my harness is all the same type of (and stronger / still maluable) wire through the accordions. Eat it Subaru. Spent $20 (and 5hrs), while Subaru wants $350 to change something that really should be a never fail item! -

Subscribed since I'll be doing this for the 2nd time shortly. First time, my tailgate wouldn't lock. Dealer wanted $375 to replace. Found a harness from a wrecked wagon, and installed. Worked amazingly for about 3 years. Now, radio is poor / weak, the door locks but the car doesn't read whether its open or closed (dash). The heating element doesn't work and my rear wiper is actually intermittent (i.e. it stops where / when it wants when you switch it off). I should just replace the whole tailgate (seems almost easier) but looks like ill be replacing BOTH (Driver and passenger) harnesses to remedy this. Ba hum bug. -
ABS Wheel speed sensors
Mendozer replied to Burock's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Not a pro at this by any means, just pulling info from my previous research on my own personal SS error C0104 = Front ABS wheel speed sensor LH 1-) http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/error-ss-speed-sensor-faulty-ecu-uniti-91831.html?t=91831&highlight=p0500 If you follow this procedure (if its an 05 legacy only), than you should be able to pull a code from the dash. 2-) http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/cel-codes-05-legacy-5876p3.html?highlight=p0546 Once you have the code, cross reference it with --the .pdf at the bottom of the above thread. 3-) Or if you have an OBD II code reader, it may pump you out the code . Good luck -
You don't have the Thule Aero bars do you? I asked my tech guy and he said they weren't making any feet to fit the Aerobars on the 05 wagons?
-
The "skis" part is the problem right there . Boards fit poorly in these boxes. But the 1600 was the widest and tallest that fit on my car. There are a few alternate (very long) options for those people with unimaginable length skis:).
-
Now I know these aren't "low profile" but they sure work. Keep in mind that these cars are now 8 years old. Many of the roof rack companies may not be updating their product to make them fit better on these "older" cars. Anyways, I've found this to work nicely; 2005 Legacy GT limited wagon with sunroof. Thule Atlantis 1600 XT black --- 686 BXT -Thule Specialty railing carrier with load bars 440. -SR2 Short roofline kits (SR kits). and this is the result (sorry about the pics---most are cell phone); Clears tailgate = Yes, Use of sunroof while box is on = no Noisy = No (If I have just the cross bars on yes, but with the box on you don't actually hear anything -quiet as can be-) Hangs over windshield = No (box nose is directly above top of windshield) Box opens from both sides so very easy access

my Subaru will beat with a Buick heart!
Mendozer replied to frank_ster's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I love a brake stand launching towards your garage...serious confidence!!! bad a$$ though...I wonder how much extra it would cost Subaru to put in a little switch like that right out of the factory? -
ABS Wheel speed sensors
Mendozer replied to Burock's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Replaced the sensor, CEL's have yet to return. Sounds like problem has been solved. Not the easiest clip (inside the engine) to change, but got er done -

Bringing an old thread from the dead. Also got this code (I suck at searching this site, since I clearly didn't find this previously...used Google :S) Anyways, any follow-up to either of the above? I'm about to perform this operation (replacement) tonight!? Fingers crossed, everything goes well and the CEL goes away -
Your comment is not necessarily true, the pro-kit does come with a cable that charges your IPhone. I'm not sure how to add a table into a thread, but I did set-up a table to help you guide through which kit suits you best. Also, these were last year, so I don't know if the items are still valid. Use at your own discretion.
