gjeff80 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 So I noticed the newer 06 models had GPS in them, does anyone know if the GPS system can be dropped into an 05 model? Are their aftermarket GPS units that drop right into the opening that exists on the GT's? If anyone has any brands they recommend looking at that would be great. Thanks Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 05 will require a lot of work to install the oem nav. 06-09 auto legacy/outback should be a direct plug and play. 06-09 manual legacy/outback will require some work also. I don't remember who but there was a 05 owner who put a oem nav in his car. Then there's me, I added the oem nav in a 09 LGT 5sp. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjeff80 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Did the 05's not come w/ the wiring harnass in the dash for the GPS unit? It is probably more economical to get a garmin anyways because at least those you can update on the computer for new roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Yeah just get a Garmin or other dash mounted unit. It won't look OEM, but the NAV pretty much sucks on 06-09 and is DVD based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Fan Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Get a Garmin and forget the OEM crap...I have had a number of Garmins in all of our cars...I just put a 265WT in the LGT...mounted it in the cubby with all hidden wiring...very neat and in the perfect position. The 265WT has Traffic Alert and Bluetooth and was selling at a local shop for under $200...what else could you need??? I'll post pics if anyone is interested. Removed the cubby door and made a fitted cover to hide the mount etc.....when I take the GPS unit off the mount (Like when I leave the car parked somewhere) I just hang my Subaru ball cap on the little ball and no one can see that there is even a GPS mount in the dash http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b375/RM-RS/265WT.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b375/RM-RS/265WT1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbssubaru Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 My garmin nuvi in my 2005 GT. I removed the cubby and fit a black piece of plastic there to mount it. The plastic finish and color matches perfectly. I never used the cubby anyway. http://gallery.me.com/tim.stiles/100154/photo/web.jpg?ver=12612844190001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You can always replace the radio with one that has nav and keep your cubby... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113589 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
