IdentificationTag Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hi there, any of you guys know what this connector is for (shown in photo) and why when trying to connect it i get fuse blown right away? Head unit works fine without it connected.. Legacy 2015 2.5 limited H/K audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 That 8-pin socket on the back of the HU is used by the STARLINK Safety and Security services system. The telematics module (shown on Subaru's wiring diagrams as the "Data Communication Module") sends a mute signal to the OEM HU via that socket. The car's 8-pin harness (designated i272) only has that one wire. 2016 was the first year that was offered in Legacys, and only in the USA. Is the pictured HU the one that Subaru originally fitted in your 2015 Legacy? If not, what is the model number on the original HU? How many wires are on your car's 8-pin plug? I suspect you've found a different 8-pin harness that was supposed to go somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing a digit in the 86271AL... number. And the 2nd picture you posted (with "BN66" on the rear) is the USA model 86271AL64A. Was your Legacy built in Subaru's USA plant? In any case, the 8-pin harness you found doesn't belong in that socket. I don't know what it might be for, but likely some other switch panel or module above or below the head unit. Has anything in the car stopped working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdentificationTag Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 sorry for missed digit and yes it is USA model 86271AL66A. pin harness is right behind the head unit I don"t remember if it was connected when I was disasembling it but the harness is to short to go over or under the head unit.

ammcinnis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Legacy 2015 2.5 limited H/K audio. Please clarify: Your post says 2015 Legacy, but your profile says you have a 2011 Legacy. Are you trying to install a 2015 head unit in a 2011 car? Something else?

IdentificationTag Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thank you! looks like the connector is just factory prewired for some other type head unit. Guess case is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
