soloz2 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just read through this thread. It seems that computer CD audio 4 pin cables are the best source of pins right now? Did anyone find the pins that can be used with the stock i85 connector?

soloz2 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Has anyone seen this adapter? I sent the seller a message to ask the pinout and plug dimensions. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=121744022059&fromWatch=true Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Current: 16 Crosstrek Premium w/ Eyesight & 05 Outback XT 5MT Past Subies: 14 FXT Premium, 14 WRX hatch, 06 Legacy 2.5i SE 5MT, 98 Outback wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when they changed pinouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller told me it would work so I went ahead and ordered. The connector itself is the same through so I can remove the pins and move them around right?

They are both square 8 pin. The main connector changed from 14 pin to 20 pin. Is that what you are referring to?

I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 1, 2016 I Donated Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nope. Keep in mind that the i85 connector is not just for aux in. Also, I believe they are sized differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is no. The main harness for the radio changed in 08 for the Impreza, 09 for the Forester, and 10 for the Legacy/Outback. I'm guessing they changed the accessory harness at the same time, although I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschiavoni Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 fair enough. it will, however, plug right in to my factory stereo wiring, correct? (i'm not worried about the AUX in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon20D Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 My fear would be the ipod wont talk to it, unless its a really old ipod. Mine (07 i think) has a 12v connection, so you need to buy a 5V adapter for any of the more recent even 30 pin ipods, so thats step one. I doubt the harness changed from 07-09. I would just be wary that the firmware on the ipod is too new, IF its a 30 pin, mine doesnt like anything with a lightning port even with the official apple adapter.

I'm guessing they changed the accessory harness at the same time, although I'm not sure. The Subaru OEM sat radio kits connect to a secondary 20-pin expansion port socket (SIE bus) on the rear of the OEM head units. The type of harness the HU uses for the main speaker/power connections doesn't matter. I don't know whether the newer Impreza sat radio kit will work with any of the 2008 or 2009 Legacy/Outback OEM HUs that have aux capability (P-204UN, P-204UH, P-206UNB, or P-206UHB). We need to hear from somebody who has tried it. I have a feeling that it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjcampbell Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Are the P-204UH any more reliable than P-201UH or P-203UH? I am on my 3rd 201 and 203. The CD player just stops working altogether, and then the climate controls are intermittently funky. For example it goes completely blank but the radio is still on and the volume does nothing. Eventually it comes back to life. I am really just looking for a drop in replacement that is less likely to break. What about swapping in the manual climate controls - would that even work? Then I could just run an aftermarket HU? Edited March 10, 2020 by pjcampbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
