Mr. Electric Wizard Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone. I'm sorry if this is one of those beating a dead horse topics but I did look some and didn't find anything. I have a 2006 Outback XT with the dual climate controls. The stereo sounds decent so I really don't want to go doing the JDM swap and all that. Does anybody have a good way to add an Aux input to this stereo? I saw a youtube video for a GROM-USB3 but it doesn't appear that this will work with a USA car. I also saw this video at one point that uses the taps for the FM module on the stock radio and adds a plug there, so that when your AUX cable is disconnected you can listen to the radio as normal, but when you plug in a cable, it lets you listen to whatever is plugged in. *edit* found it: There's also the unit's that go between the antenna and the antenna plug to get music playing from a phone or whatever. Has anybody got any creative ideas on how I can play music from my phone through my stock stereo system?

apexi Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Maybe this if they're still available http://www.jazzyengineering.com/product_info.php?products_id=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Which stereo do you have? P201-UH, P203-UH, P204-UH ? I have an '05 and I swapped in a P204-UH and have GROM on the Aux. The P204-UH is plug and play in 05-06 and has an Aux option. Jazzy is one of the more common ways of adding a phono plug to '05-06, but many phones no longer have one.

Mechazilla Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) To add to the above, I think the Grom BT3 is the model Infosecdad is speaking about. They also make an accessory for an additional usb plug which is nice. Edited December 7, 2020 by Mechazilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I use the JazzyMod connected to a bluetooth aux input with a control pad so I can still skip songs with the touch of a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Once you've got the rca's you're golden though. I use a bluetooth adapter with the 3.5mm aux jack in my legacy, lots of options depending on how much you want to spend. No track forward on the cheapies like this one, but it gets the job done. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bluetooth-Audio-Car-Kit/738713241 rca to 3.5mm https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-4ft-RCA-Audio-Y-Adapter-Cable-3-5mm-to-2-RCA/274112443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 05 here, P204H swap with Grom BT3, my android has a chip that causes the phone portion to not sound good, streaming is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Electric Wizard Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks everyone! I have the stock stereo that has the 6 disk changer inside the radio if that helps to identify. Not sure what the model number is. Is there an easy way to tell by the front layout as to which model I have? I bought one of the DigiKey jacks from the YouTube video (from the first post) but haven't received it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have waited for responses here before I ordered the jack from digi-key. It was only $2 though. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Should say above the cd slot I think https://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=221691&d=1450737452 https://m.buyautoparts.com/data/all_images/CQEF1561LU-Map1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Electric Wizard Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 My head unit is a P-203UH Dang, looks like the Jazzy won't work for this unit. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Electric Wizard Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just look at the front above the cd changer slot, the model number should be there. I looked on ebay and there are several P204-UH units for sale there. Can you explain how the AUX plug works on this unit? I see there is an option on the right dial but don't see a jack on the back of the head unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Electric Wizard Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) If I upgrade to a P204-HU would this unit be plug and play: https://gromaudio.com/store/aux1_adapters/subaru-05-09-aux-cable-input-car-stereo-kit.html There are adapters that convert the iPhone lightning plug to 3.5mm stereo, so no worries there. From the Grom site, it seems that this is just a plug and play module which would be awesome if that's the case.

snow60X Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have a 2008 radio with the SRS wow upgrade and it sounded amazing compared to the stock 06 radio. Can include a stock Aux input for you too and the wiring I made to hook up to the stereo. Also comes with a ground loop isolator to cancel any noise from the alternator. If I still have the original center console part with out the aux, I will include the center console piece to retain 100% factory aux input if you want. $150 shipped. Also have a Jazzy kit that I couldn't use on my original 2006 radio since I found out the cd changer was broken after I tried to install the Jazzy kit with the ground loop isolator too. $50 shipped. I upgraded to a JDM kit so I don't need any of it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
