RyanFromSC Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey guys my Legacy has this radio in it and I'm wondering if it is the original radio or if it was swapped in from another model/year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propanejoe Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 looks like the one my wife had in her 99 outback 30 anniversary edition outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanFromSC Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 So it likely came from a 3rd gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propanejoe Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Not sure, have been told that the 99 was kind of a mid generation thing with components from 2nd and 3rd gen designs. i dont have any info to confirm this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanFromSC Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 I had that radio for a bit, pulled it out of a stock 02 WRX So it's not a 2nd gen Legacy stereo. I had never seen a radio with a built in weather band before, it's neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanFromSC Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sadly I'm going to have to replace this neat little radio... someone's spilled soda or something on it and the buttons are all sticky. Plus I can't get the cd player to work. Bummer, its a nice radio! Luckily I was able to get a JVC single DIN unit from a coworker for $5 so once I figure out which aftermarket adapter is the right one I'll be installing that.

Osei Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Go ebay and get a Subaru harness adapter. @$5. This way you can wire the jvc plug in the comfort of your home and then just plug it into the car. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanFromSC Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Send it to me lol. I'll fix it and use it. Lol I was thinking of doing this myself... How in the world do you clean soda out of these things though??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes, this will work. To clean the soda, use electrical contact spray cleaner. It will remove the syrup and not harm the electrical items. Dries quickly like carb cleaner, which should also work. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted January 23, 2015 I Donated Share Posted January 23, 2015 Electrical contact cleaner or take it apart and use rubbing alcohol. I prefer using alcohol. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

monkeyposeur Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Deoxit contact cleaner will clean that right up and not hurt anything! I use it on gunked servos for my rc helicopters. Then I spray it with Deoxit Gold. You can get two little spray bottles of each for $12. Audiophiles love that shit. But any contact cleaner from the auto pats store will work just as good and will only set you back about $6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
