Awesome, good job! You won't have to worry about those noises on load/eject though since you'll never need to put another CD besides the blank cd player into your deck again thanks to the mod! Many thanks for the report!!!

Thanks StringFellow, though I wonder, is it any different for single cd systems? And for the record, I just realized I was wrong about the gnuni mod-- the gnuni mod actually tricked my sony HU into thinking there was a new input to select from, so no pauses. Then again my particular HU's firmware required hacking the mod's eeprom's assembly code to get it to work properly, which I never got around to. In my post about I was actually thinking of a different Sony HU mod, which involved plugging a cd changer in and then plugging an XM or MP3 input into the cd changers HU audio inputs

sashi2, NJ-LGT- Agreed, this entire thread is really a testament to an incredibly successfull, and excellent mod, especially with 6 disc cd decks Jazzy- thanks for the reply (and congrats too, btw)! I'm glad to hear that there have been so many successfull single cd installs. Gives me hope for when/if I get to do one on mine! And thanks for the instructions-- I saw you attach them in response to another 2.5i-er post but I never really understood their significance until now. Doesn't look like Badmojo has fixed the calibration issue yet, but I'd be very curious to find out if the instructions you attached would have helped prevent his particular case or not. Care to comment Badmojo? Catriona- Thanks for the report! I know *exactly* how you feel... if only there was a way to do it without having to do surgery... and your off topic stuff has got me psyched to do some other "modding" to my new soob too! Lolo- I too would be interested to hear your story, if you can post it. And coz, don't get discouraged! Single CDers, unite! New Business: With this mod and track repeat turned on, is there any pause in the sound when the cd reaches the end and the deck moves the laser back to the beginning? Or does the sound continue while the cd starts over? I remember with the gnunilink mod that's how it worked but I was curious if this deck/mod operated the same or not. Cheers!

Greetings- I'm a single cd 06 OB 2.5i owner as well, just got it a week ago in fact, and I just read through the entire 60+ page thread here. This thread has to be one of the most informative and awesome threads in the history of the internet. If only there were awards for such things. And Jazzy, you rock! I put together a Sony Gnunilink to hack an aux input into a sony headunit in a old Saturn and it was pretty tough! Plus the community support was just not there like it is for this mod. Bravo everyone! Subaru owners kick ass! But I digress... If I could convince my wife to go for it I'd order one of these in a heartbeat, but she's reluctant since the car is still so new. I'm almost tempted to buy one now just in case she changes her mind sometime in the future... but what worries me is the 2.5i installs that have been posted up here. The first one resulted in a busted cd player , the second one went ok (after figuring out how to get the radio out), and the third one ended up with a miscalibrated temp sensor on the HVAC! These things are definitely NOT helping my case. It was one thing when it was an old car that I could hack up, but not the new Outback! I'm anxiously awaiting zxsimonw's, coz's and Catriona's reports! So for those of you with the mod, enjoy it for me too ... and if I ever do manage to install it in the 2.5i I'll definitely post with a full report and pictures. Hopefully the HVAC will survive... Meanwhile I will follow this thread in earnest. Jazzy, good luck with the next version of the mod, you're doing some amazing work!
