Replacing stereo in 96 GT


Recommended Posts

Hey im replacing the stereo in my 96 GT and need help! Im doing this myself but not sure where to start.

 

can someone give me a link to the wire adapters i can plug into the car's 14 pin plug to my new stereo?

 

also where can i find a dash install kit and does anyone have suggestions for a new radio? the old one cant play ipods.

 

ive been searching the internet but everything seems so vague and non descriptive im not sure what im looking for.

Any stock stereo's from the impreza, forester(up to 07) and legacy(up to 04) will go right in to your stock harness.

 

Check cruthfield.com for stereos they have dash install kits in which makes install extremely simple! They also have alot of good reviews.

 

I found that if you are on thier site and looking up a 2nd gen legacy you wont show double din units, what i did to get around that is look for a 3rd gen legacy and then you can get single and double din results

with that combo you shouldnt have any problem hooking it up with some butt connectors and a pliers.

 

on the sony stereo you should get a harness which plugs into the stereo, and then you take your subaru harness adapter and you match up the wires from diagram to diagram pretty simple.

 

once you get the harness together now you have a plug and play radio!

There is no dash install kit. It is an ISO mount radio. Single Din with the pocket or double DIN will work using the factory radio side mounts.

This thread will answer your questions http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749402

 

i read the thread about legacy install..but still not sure if should i get a 'din sized' receiver instead? :confused:
