Brack Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Before I start digging around back there, has anyone found a plug/ harness behind the dash area that will accept the WRX/STi boost power plug ? I would like to have an easy time of installing the leftover gauge from the STi in to my Legacy Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDPete Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 There is now a gauge pack available for the '06 GT's according to Subaru.com. Sorry don't know if the '05 has the harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think you'll have to tap something for that. I doubt there's anything back there to hook it up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I remember hearing that it sucked power off the radio harness....but don't quote me on that My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual shows the accessory power feeds to the radio are on pin 14 of connector i26 and pin 8 of connector i85. One is switched but don't know which one. I took a power feed off of the ECU switched high-side feed to the injectors for an Autometer electrical (stepper motor) boost gauge. This works well and since the injector feed stays on for (5) seconds after the engine is shut off, it lets the gauge return to "0" instead of showing a vacuum when the engine is off. For a WRX/STi mechanical gauge, you only need a switched feed for the lamp. Heavy Metal Killed Beethoven Support Classical Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffK1320 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 There is a factory harness that goes between the radio and the STI gauge pack. It's a 14 pin see the guage instructions that I have added. It gives the gauge pack it's power. Jeff K. '07 Forester STI (ECS Performance)..SOLD! '09 Spec B...Sold! '11 LGT Limited...Sold!
