Where do I buy this harness? and more info on install?

Harness part number H501SXA120 (for Canadian 2014 Outback w/o sunroof), ordered from subarupartswarehouse.com

Voltage converter came from ebay

My version of the install is on subaruoutback.org

OEM 4.3" Panasonic units need the factory microphone in the map lights assembly and working steering wheel controls. Plus the USB connector in the armrest.

It might be cheaper to consider a decent aftermarket HU.

Good tips!

 

I can't quite figure out how your harness works. Does your autodimming mirror & compass still work? It looks like you removed the harness for the mirror and replaced it with the merged one above that only powers up the Dash Cam. I don't see a splice that would run down to the mirror.

My OB didn't have an auto-dimming mirror. I just bought a mirror harness and used it to power the voltage converter.

I am planning to add a HomeLink mirror once the tax fairy does her magic Will use the same wiring - I don't think mirror+dashcam are going to overload the circuit, plus there is a 5A fuse on the other end.

Good job. Couple observations:

1. It is better to buy flat USB cable - the seam between the windshield and the headliner is quite narrow. A thin flat cable = less deformation on the headliner edge.

2. You could get 12V ACC power from the mirror harness - the 3-pin white connector on the right - that would have saved you quite a bit of work

I have a question regarding this topic.

I have 2014 premium 2.5 outback with PE669U1 head unit and tried if camera functions work. I grounded pin 8, turn key into on, reverse gear but the display did nothing. Then I connected pins 8 and 12 and did the same. Nothing changed.

 

Does it mean that my headunit does not support camera (but it should)? Am I doing something wrong?

check if pin 2 - reverse gear detect - has +12V when you put the car in reverse

Any opinions on wireless camera adapters from ebay?

Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251359180588

I thought, a wireless adapter can be mounted entirely inside the trunk/hatch lid, and powered from the reverse lights. That would eliminate having to run wires through the grommets between the trunk lid and the body, and all the way to the HU.
