BAC5.2 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I was trying to solve a rattle issue in my sunroof last night when I came across a very odd connector. It's in the headliner, above the drivers side visor. It reminds me of the satellite antenna from my old Nav unit, but that can't be. I snapped this pic through the map-light hole, looking to the drivers side. Any ideas? There isn't any slack in the cable. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii287/bac52/Mobile%20Uploads/32d93d6a.jpg [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

proflatlander15 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Could it be for the Homelink rearview mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Maybe, but there is no slack in it. It's about 2" in from the lip of the map-light console. What would the homelink mirror need that connector for?

nemo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It's not for the homelink mirror. It's obviously an antenna of some sort -- probably for satellite radio. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I found my old XM antenna, and it's identical in color and everything. I guess the non-satellite radio cars are pre-wired for satellite antennas!

SVXdc Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes, that's what Subaru means when they say a car is "pre-wired for satellite radio" -- it's the leg from behind the HU to above the mirror. You still have to install the antenna itself, but the "pre-wire" saves you from needing to run the cable down the A pillar and behind the dash.

BAC5.2 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Cool! Thanks everyone! SVX, while I have your attention, what's the link to the connector pinout for the 09 HK radio? I know you posted it once before. I should specify that I'm interested in the nav mute wire, and any other input wires. I want to know if it's possible to integrate the EDM bluetooth kit into the USDM car.

Are you talking about this thread? Integrate Alpine TME-M740BT Touch Screen Monitor with OEM HU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 What I wanted to do was see about integrating the OEM bluetooth kit sold for the EDM/JDM Legacy.
