2000 Outback install

[redderthanafeut]

Hey all-

 

1st. I promise I searched but just can't find any info on a 2000 Outback.

 

I just need to know a couple of things...

 

1. I need to get the dash off because I want to install an LOC from the front speaker outputs. How do I get this off?

2. Where can I find a wire diagram for my car?

 

The rest is pretty much done, just need to install the LOC and get a tap from the remote wire too.

 

I've attached a picture of my dash.

 

Thanks!

The dash comes off farily easily. I don't have pics from when I had the baja, but it goes like this:

 

- pry the trim piece from around the shifter out (pups up then toward the back)

- take out the ash tray

- un screw the 2 (bleaping) screws with a 90 degree philips head driver

- the trim around the HVAC/HU will pop off from the bottom up

- remove screws (2 or 4 don't remember) to remove the HVAC/HU from the car (the HVAC cables are short)

- remove the screws from the HVAC on the bracket

- pull out the HU more and disconnect cables

 

Now you have the HU in hand.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I think that makes sense. I'd gotten the shifter piece off but wasn't sure where to go from there..

 

I guess I should ask too, is there an easier way to tap into the speaker wires and remote wire without taking the deck out?

 

I know I could probably get the remote from the Subaru subwoofer harness that's under the seat (where I put my amp conveniently) but I can't use the speaker wires from that because I want stereo feeding my amp...

 

Any ideas?
