chitty chitty bang bang Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey peoples, Anyone know of a way to get an AUX in into the OEM radio of the 2000 legacy GT? I have looked everywhere short of actually opening up the dash to look at the back of the stereo - is there any way to get reliable aux in? Basically, I just want a good clean signal from my ipod. Lemme know, Chitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitty chitty bang bang Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 OR - if there are any writeups / schematics / DIN charts for the Tape deck that I can use to wire into the tape deck... that would be helpful as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 What is the model number on the front of your radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitty chitty bang bang Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 hey SVX it says P119 on the door of the tape player it is a combination tape / radio unit with a 6cd changer below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Does it look like this... (click for larger image) That's a model P120 On radios with the separate CD deck, you can tap into the wires between that and the AM/FM/tape unit, and connect your iPod signal in place of the CD. You'll probably need to play a CD to "trick" the deck into switching to the CD input (people usually burn a CD-R with 60 minutes of silence). Here's a how-to from a 2000 Outback owner: AUX Input for 2000 OBW OEM Stereo - How To I've asked him what model radio he has, but bet it's the same as yours. Either way, can you post a picture of the front of yours (along with the back and the label on top, once you take it out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitty chitty bang bang Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey SVXdc, this is what the radio looks like - I have not taken it out yet but when I do I will be sure to post an image. http://i40.tinypic.com/xn7mgl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitty chitty bang bang Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 also... another slightly off topic but radio question - it seems that when I hit the rear defrost while the radio is on, the radio becomes static... Do you have any idea why? Is the antenna integrated into rear window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey SVXdc, this is what the radio looks like - I have not taken it out yet but when I do I will be sure to post an image. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the other pics. Yours does look the same as the P120, except the latter has Weather band. Your CD deck is a 6-disc vs. the 1-disc in the picture I posted. But in any case, I think you'd still be able to use the same hack as in that thread on subaruoutback.org. also... another slightly off topic but radio question - it seems that when I hit the rear defrost while the radio is on, the radio becomes static... Do you have any idea why? Is the antenna integrated into rear window? The antenna is a separate foil on the rear glass. Other people have had a similar problem. One cause can be a bad ground somewhere in the rear. Search and you'll find threads that talk about this (either here or on other Subaru forums).
