neutrino60 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I finally got around to installing the hardware that I ordered from jazzymt. It's certainly a project to get in to the radio, but the instructions were clear and installing the board was only a matter of plugging in two ribbon cables and a mini-plug into a jack. I don't mind playing the silent CD in the background. The sound is great, though the levels from the line out on my iaudio X5 come out a bit lower than radio or CDs. I'm very happy with it. Thanks jazzymt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centerpunch Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Just to review (for new viewers of this thread), a couple other guys have taken this idea and developed products they are selling to do this, see their posts at: [url]http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18504[/url] and [url]http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18870[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipoduser Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I've [url="http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21047"]started a new thread (My 2005 Legacy iPod input hack -- no blank CD required!)[/url] with my own iPod aux input hack. My method is more difficult and more intrusive than the CD changer technique, but it allows you to get direct-line input sound quality without the need to play a blank CD.

Shootingbrake Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have been trying to get a head-unit that can control my iPod in my 2005 Legacy. It looks like there is finally a kit: [URL="http://www.installer-data.com/item/display_item.php?it=99-8901"]http://www.installer-data.com/item/display_item.php?it=99-8901[/URL] Has anyone tried this?

Having personally disassembled my own combo dual-zone climate control/radio/CD unit, I can tell you that any adapter kit for that unit would either have to totally re-create the climate control circuitry, or require you to do some really bizarre work of salvaging pieces of your old head unit, remounting those pieces somewhere else, and even then probably require its own duplicate of the climate control display. Perhaps, for a ridiculously high price, a Subaru dealer would sell you a [I]downgrade[/I] to the manual climate control/radio unit, and then you'd be free to install your own choice of head unit using this kit -- depending on how well the kit works, of course, which is not something I've heard any feedback about yet.

Shootingbrake Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Seems like I have the manual one. Not sure but the only option I have on my 2005 Legacy Wagon is the auto-dimming mirror. The panel in my 5-speed looks just like the one in the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucamercati Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've got a LEGACY 2005 s.w. bifuel station wagon buyed in ITALY with the radio system + 1 CD lector model GX - 201LH. Have anyone an idea on how to connect an IPOD 4 giga with clickable wheel ? Does exist a kit different from those who use the FM modulation system (I've tried some but all of them are really bad). Is the radio system made from KENWOOD ??? Thanks to the friends of this forum. Luca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootingbrake Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Ciao Luca, I installed a METRA kit which allowed me to use an Alpine Headunit and IPod interface. I also installed the subwoofer. The METRA Kit looks better with the Alpine than the factory stereo and of course it sounds great too.

lucamercati Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 CIAO SHOOTINGBRAKE, thanks for your answer. I look at the web site but I think we've got different model of autoradio. I can post an image of mine if you can give me your e-mail. Mine is [EMAIL="luca.mercati@cndc.it"]luca.mercati@cndc.it[/EMAIL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3beards Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Jazzy help in the NYC metro area. I just bought an 06 Outback and can't do without my iPod. Seems that people here have had success with the jazzy fix. Anyone willing to help a mechanically challenged Outback owner with the install? Payment can be worked out offline.

goneskiian Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Maybe post in your regional forum too. Lot's of folks in your area, I'm sure you'll find someone willing to help in exchange for beverage! :lol: Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
