scans007 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 AWESOME man.......as it was said, so nice to see a screen in there. My unit has a flip out screen, so I'll be do'n something similar but I'll keep the display below it....can't wait to see your finished project....keep the updates coming...... PS. I'm jealous =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne 2.5i Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Looks awesome. What kind of computer/nav can you hook up to that? Also, are you planning on moving the stock display thing into the ashtray or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 does the door still close over it? What size screen is that? Looks good, but it also looks like there is a small opening a the top. dude, the cubby is GONE! haha, jk he sacrificed the cubby, the door, and the car computer to cram that screen in.

Xenonk Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Lemme guess, you are not done because: -you need to find out how to get the illumination dimmer to work correctly -get rid of the airbag warning light (probably some kind of resistor you need to solder) I was thinking of cutting up the entire module, but I was thinking of even going BIGGER by capping off the center vents and deleting the center vents to fit two 5" LCDs instead of 1 larger 6.5" one that you have. Or just by deleting the vents, I probably could fit a 9" LCD. Thanks for posting some results! Love the work. Just keep working at it.

fan42025 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Looks OK. However, I like to keep my storage. I'll give it some thought but there must be another way to have say a couple of 7" screens mounted somehwere - pop outs most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Damn!......You beat me to the finish line. I am doing close to the same thing in my legacy. I am using the 6.5" touch screen from Alpine. Did you have any problem unhooking the trip computer?

Just find the wirer that make dim the rest of the light.. and as for the airbag.. I relocated the inboard computer in the ashtray location here is a quick picture of it.. I just start to do it yesterday night.. Made it in MDF wood.. Not finish yet.. have to continu to sand it, to make it perfect fit.. just want to show "in progress" http://www.montreal-subaru-club.com/images/mike/legacy05/computerboard.jpg Roby. hehe.. probably mine are smaller then yours. Fosgate.. No, did not have any trouble to remove the computer.. But, when you remove it, like Xenonk said. you got a AirBag light.. But , my plans was to relocated the computer anyway..

Can the Subaru dealership reset the air bag light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 It's only when you disconnect the the screen in the pic above, And yes it will always be on cuz the airbag will not be attached correctly. I don't think they can reset it...since it's not hooked up. You could attach the display and tuck it away......Mines prob go'n to the ashtray also..... Awesome work Mike.....can wait to see the finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The air bag light comes on because the indicator for the passenger airbag on the display is on that trip computer. The SRS ECU thinks it's a "malfunction" in its circuitry. What Mike is going to do is to extend the wires from the top where the computer use to be down to the center console (which isnt hard to do, just tedious work. If he just extends the wires, then it would solve all this problems and all he has to do is just reconnect the harness back onto the trip computer and he's done. My original concern was for the people who are thinking of deleting the entire trip computer all together and bypassing those two cocerns I had mentioned before (which isnt hard either I dont think, it's just a matter of doing some self-vamping clips on to the correct wires for each one of my noted concerns above.

Mike Moffa Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 BTW keefe.. I just check out, and I do not need to cut, and extend the wires.. The wires is enought long to go to the ashtray location without modified it.. Just need to take out a clip that old the wire, and it will do the job..
