LGTiowa Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I sent him an email to the address listed on his site (ae64.com) back on September 3rd about ordering some harnesses. I have not gotten a response, anyone know if his is still around and selling harnesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTiowa Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 How long did you have to wait for a reply. I had heard that he gets busy, but I figured a month and 10days I'd have heard back by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVXdc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes, I'm still alive. Swamped with e-mails. Response time depends on many factors, including the complexity of questions people ask and the type of install they want to do. At the same time, I'm trying to do R&D on new Subaru models and HUs, answer support questions, restock harness components, update my web site, implement a better shopping cart, and buy a new DD (looking for a 2006-ish Legacy). Sleep? What's that? @LGTiowa- I have received your e-mails. Very sorry for the delay in responding. I'm about to reply to a whole bunch of people who want to retrofit the newer display HUs (non-nav with 4.3" screen) like you do. I really want to add a new page to my site with information, to cut way down on the FAQs I'm getting by e-mail. I'm also working on having a factory make a major portion of the harnesses, to reduce assembly time (and hopefully cost). Hang on a little longer, and I'll take care of you!

I hope I didn't come across as rude that wasn't my intention. I just hoping to find out you were still around and that I was using the right email etc. I'm sure you get very busy since you are the best around when it comes to this stuff. I know it will be worth the wait. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 No problem, you didn't come across that way. In fact, I don't blame you for wondering after not hearing anything for more than 4 weeks. At one point, for people who I knew would take longer to handle I was at least sending them acknowledgements that I'd received their e-mails, but I've fallen way behind even doing that. For folks doing cut-and-dried installs using all off-the-shelf items (such as the harnesses I supply for the JDM 2-DIN HVAC panel), I've been sending replies (with general information and ordering instructions) to batches of people every few days. But for transplants, up to now those have required individualized replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatheryoko Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Dave, Thanks for posting. I'm one of the folks looking to do a transplant as well. Look forward to hearing from you once you get your head above water. Cheers, Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTiowa Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hang on a little longer, and I'll take care of you! Well it's been another 4 weeks for a total of 10 weeks from the initial email. I'll be honest I'm beginning to wonder if it is worth the wait...... Anyone know part numbers of the involved connectors and how to get a hold of them? I think I may have narrowed it down, but appears a couple of them are not stocked. I work for a company that builds computers so we probably have all of the crimp tools etc. Basically I just need a parts list and I can get it built.

I have all the parts to complete my HU transplant except for the hardness. The wait is long... So I'm looking for the part numbers as well, specifically to retain the rear camera.

DrD123 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 For individual connectors, Subaru seems to use TE Connectivity as their supplier - you can usually find what you need from Digikey (they have dimensioned drawings and everything, so it takes some of the guesswork out of it) - the drawings for the connectors also indicate which pins they use, which makes purchasing them easier. Keep in mind that members selling stuff aren't a store - they are usually doing it on the side and sometimes life happens and keeping up with your hobbies has to be sidelined. (I am assuming $ hasn't changed hands - if that is the case, then yeah, they are sort of obligated to come through or refund in a timely period) would be good if communication were a little better, though - I can certainly appreciate how that could be frustrating!

LGTiowa Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I have done some research via the forums and I came up with what I believe to be the right connectors and contacts from TE and Digikey. However a couple of them are not stocked or are very high order qty. I understand that for most people this is a side gig/hobby. I'm just trying to get the transplant done as its been sitting on my desk for 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Mouser carries parts from TE as well (www.mouser.com) - they are another good vendor for small parts. My other go-to vendor is Newark (www.newark.com) - they have TE stuff, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatheryoko Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I sent my initial email to SVXdc in late Aug. I received an email from him this past Sunday and placed my order that night.
