What will fit?

Hi,

I have just bought a 96 Outback with a bad radio. The radio isn't the factory model, but I'd like to replace it with a newer model factory radio.

Anyone know what newer factory radios will work and fit into this car without making any modifications to the wires or the dash panel?

 

Thanks for any help.

is your radio space a single din or double?

 

 

if it's double, i think some of the new wrx radios will work.

Thanks for the reply.

The opening is a double.

I have another question.

This car has a factory CD controller mounted under the radio. The changer is still under the passenger seat,whether it works or not is in question. From what I can tell,the factory radio must have had 2 plugs on the back, one for the controller and one for the changer.

Can anyone confirm this? And if this is a factory setup,was it worth a darn? Would it be worth trying to restore the system, or is it better to upgrade?

 

Thanks again.

Just upgrade it. I'd throw a single DIN with MP3 capabilities in there and a pocket underneath.

any WRX radio up to '07 can fit there and might control a factory cd changer.

Theres a pin out on the abck of the OE radios for the '07+ radios its for the aux in. old ones for the sub out, and some for the cd changer.

Thanks, I think I'll need to do a little research on this. The radio that's in the car now does seem to have some control over the changer. I can hear the changer looking for a CD.

Does anyone know how many ohms the factory speakers should have at the radio end of the harness? I'm showing 16 ohms,this seems high to me. Seeing as to how the radio has power,but no sound at all, my thought is the speakers had to many ohms and blew the amp in the radio. Could this happen?

It should be 4 each.. 4X4=16.

It should be 4 each.. 4X4=16.

 

I guess,but could all the speakers connect to the same pin?

Oohh well it should still be 4 ohms.
