gbennett22 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Looking to put an auxiliary port in my 05 legacy. Has anyone had experience with this particular kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarton Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd venture to say that hundreds (more?) of people in this community have. Do a search and you'll get the full low down. From what I've seen, it's been very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It makes use of a "silent CD". So, the whole time you are listening to your Ipod or whatever aux input, your car's CD player is playing. Personally, I don't like the extra wear and tear on a CD player that is going to fail some day. The Leptronics on by RedFloyd is the one I prefer as it doesn't do that CD playback.

henhead Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Seconding the Leaptronics aux. Its been great so far for me. The auto detecting aux is very nice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianEarlSpilner Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Been using the Jazzy aux in and powered i-pod adapter for 3 years. Works great with no complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utc_pyro Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's also not hard to add it yourself. On the bottom of the board just tap into the capacitors next to "R216" and "R316" on the lead toward the front side of the board. Pick up ground from "pin 2" at the bottom of the CD changer lead and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phate Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 There was a Jazzy board in the stereo that originally came with my car. CD changed was trashed, so I upgraded to a P204 and used the OEM aux from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 easier just to by a p-204UH head unit and pin the i85 connector with a aux jack. costs more, but thats a real aux jack and you dont have to risk your original head unit with installation screw-ups.

jhough77 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 ^ Do you have a link to the 2nd part of the install? I have the p204 in but I can't figure out the i85 connector to the aux Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phate Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 ^ Do you have a link to the 2nd part of the install? I have the p204 in but I can't figure out the i85 connector to the aux Jack. The easiest way is by getting the transplant harness from svxdc: http://ae64.com/i85_transplant_harness.htm Then it just plugs into the back of the P-204UH (which has waaaay better sound quality than the P-201UH ever did), and you plug in an RCA to 3.5mm adapter, and run your 3.5mm to wherever you'd like. There's a wire that needs to be grounded to enable the aux option, but you can just loosen any screw on the back of the head unit, stick the terminal under it, and tighten the screw back down. Installing the P-204 (my car came with a busted P201) took me less than half an hour, most of which was triple checking that I didn't miss any clips as that was the first time I had taken the console apart on my LGT. I got the transplant harness a few months later, and that took about 15 minutes to install and have working (I currently just have a 3.5mm cable coming out from between the console and passenger seat, but I'll install the panel mount jack into the cubby bin at a later date.

Jwellens Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I actually had a shop put one in for me where they soldered a am/fm transmitter in the back of my radio. I believe its called a tranzit link, but they only come specific to either android or iPhone. I can also upload some pics of it in the car, there is just a button by the AC control and a charging cable running under the center counsel that comes out of the passenger side for my phone. Really nice set-up and good sound quality. Here is the link: http://isimple.com/catalog/install/IS7705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Got Jazzy on my 05 radio and haven't installed the 204 yet. I was taking my time on figuring out aux and satellite possibly. Glad this thread popped up. Jazzy was cool untill you forgot to have the repeat on and it goes to another disc in the changer. How bad was the lighting on the 07 radio when you put it in a 05? I remember somewhere the lighting controls don't work the same. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k280/merc6/LGT/th_3351BCBE-AF1F-4036-B418-D1C4CAB4C91B_zpsgy7msssi.jpg 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems totally fine to me. I generally keep my dash lights pretty dim though. Can grab a pic tomorrow if people care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
