Wondering if this ODS will fix one of the codes that I have. Code 27 - ODS communication error.

Found it in a wreckers.

??? Amazon is currently showing 8 iCarsoft i903 units in stock. Try accessing the U.S. site (use an American VPN to do it if necessary). I paid $130 USD ($173 CAD) for mine.

I pulled the code for my airbag lamp with one of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TL5PMLW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). In my case, for Code 26, I re-soldered all four flat black resistors onto the passenger airbag indicator circuit board (inside the map light housing) and the problem was fixed. This video (

) gave me an excellent walk-thru.

Product is currently unavailable. May I ask how much you paid in $USD? I live in Canada.

I also fixed that problem with the MAP light, but I have two others codes. LH Buckle switch failure and ODS (passenger side) Is it worth fixing these? My OCD is kicking in a little. Should I get it from the wreckers?

These are the airbag stuff that I may need:

1) Airbag rear harness along with body harness

2) Occupant detection harness (seat harness)

3) Occupant detection system (Seat cushion and frame assembly)

4) Airbag control module (in the center dash where the AC controls are)

5) Seat belt buckle switch

I think the sti sway bar is hollow so it's not as rigid and strong as the solid bars like whiteline, avo and cusco. The tribeca front bar is hollow too, so even tho it's 25mm it will perform like a 22 or 23mm solid bar. But for the price, you can't beat it.

 

AVO is the only sway bar mount kit I've seen for the legacy and outback wagons.

 

The whiteline braces you speak of I think are for the Impreza wrx/sti platform.

Noted! Thanks

Rear sway bars are different for the wagons. As far as I know, you will have to go after market to find a upgraded rear sway bar to go along with this bar. I am currently looking at AVO, Whiteline and Cusco. All of them are solid bars but I think the Cusco is 21mm vs the AVO and whiteline being 20mm. Make sure whatever you do, you buy the AVO sway bar mount kit otherwise you will break the sway bar mounts off the car.

Thanks for confirming. My choice was was the Whiteline sway bar, and I'll make note of the AVO sway bar mount kit. I am guessing Whiteline doesn't offer one? They make sway bar braces/mounts that reinforces to the rear LCAs.

My next choice would be a STi sway bar, but its a wagon, so no luck. Unless of a hatch?

This is the FSB setup.

 

The Forester end links are beefy and last a long time. A subaru mechanic I know recommended this swap and used the Forester end links without issue.

 

Here is the link for the bushings I ordered.

Thanks for confirming! How about the rear sway bar from the Tribeca? Or do you recommend a STi rear sway bar?

My local dealer gives a great discount on parts, so the sway bar (20401XA00A) is $56 and the forester endlinks (20470SA011) were $24 each. I bought energy suspension 25mm bushings for 20 shipped. Otherwise you can buy the Tribeca bushings, but they need to be trimmed to fit.

Is this the FSB or RSB?

A very helpful thread indeed. Definitely something to consider, to upgrade my old sway bars that's on the car, along with the end links and bushings. At least I don't have to consider the Whiteline option. Definitely curious to see how the body roll is minimized with this thicker sway bar.

Any reason why we have to choose Forester end links, vs say Tribeca/Legacy end links? Also do you have the part # for the Energy suspension bushings by chance?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but in the older models of Subaru - just way too much work lol.

My former 09 base 2.5i Impreza never came with steering wheel audio controls. I was able to buy the steering wheel audio controls + cruise control (to replace the blank spot + existing cruise control), and it was a simple plug n play. No extra splicing, etc. The wiring was already present.

My radio reception has degraded substantially in the last month or so, so I guess my left side is going as well.

My AM radio has no reception when the hatch is opened, even for a inch of gap.....

Wait a minute. Is this also an issue for the poor stock FM/AM reception? Any more threads on this, or images of the wires, diagrams, etc.? The 07 2.5i wagon that I picked up does have static and a semi weak reception overall. The channels are picked up, but there's a lot of static.

What else is powered by these wires on the left hand side? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
