coxx Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 jsalicru is actually right on this. That's the way to do it. If someone can create a board that's somewhat of a "plug and play" type thing. I'd buck up the cash for that no problems without a 2nd thought. (reasonably, I'm not paying $2k or something insane like that.) How's does that sound "thread creator"? Let us know. I'd be willing to donate to the cause here. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a!

jsalicru Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 actually, THE very best solution is to get the JDM double din unit to work with a board in between. Im sure it can be done. Anyone ever thought about checking to see if Australia Subaru has PDF files for the service manual just like SOA? "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have 2 problems with using the jdm part. 1) I want my temps to be in faheriheit (spelling?) & not celsius. 2) I like the dual zone. I'm all usdm or nothing. I'd rather go with the manual a/c controls than the JDM. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

I thought the same thing, JDM is the way to go....there's another problem with the JDM unit....read post number 130 by SOCalGT. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=363169#post363169 If you can read this, you're following too close.

mikeyd Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Outstanding dude. I have a good idea of how much and how tough that work was. I don't think I'm interested in doing that in my car but you never know, maybe when I get over the new car feeling :-) You def get props for that tho, mainly for having the balls to go for it.

mouldman1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 This is a pipedream! I gave up on even trying to do this. As a result I am installing a screen in the cubby hole for my navigation, sat. radio and backup camera. Running JL Cleansweep and new BA Speakers. Topped of with a couple of alpine amps and a 10" JL Sub. Personally I think that having a screen where the radio is might be a little low and distracting especially with a MT. I am getting my car back this week and will post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ur a bus Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 <snip>1. Why do you think the climate control is dependent of the HU?<snip> I have looked enough at Vacation Pictures to know that some of the buttons on the head unit are used for diagnostic functions of the climate control system. Other than that I don't know. If you separate the two units, you lose the self-diagnostic function of the ACC system. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemani Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you want your stereo guy to do it, just show him the pictures. I assume all that was done was cut the ckt board, and reconnect the traces with wires. Its just lots of traces to solder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
