Tide Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I have yet to see any pics of the US version with DVD Navigation. Has it been cornfirmed at all? I didnt see it an pictures or in the press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin_pusher Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I sure hope that they offer it with DVD navigation. If they are going to be pushing $30k in price it needs this and HID's to compete with cheaper Acura's. If it's not offered it could be a deal breaker for me.

sti_owner Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I keep forgetting Subaru is basically a GM company influence wise. On-Star is how'd they would go. I don't see them going with DVD Navigation just yet. I don't know why. :( hi to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin_pusher Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 If On-Star were free that would be fine, but I'm not paying a monthly fee to use it. I just drove the Acura TSX and TL and their Nav systems were great! I really liked the TSX, but it was pretty gutless, and the TL is on the pricey side with some fairly nasty torque steer. I just want AWD, HID's and a DVD nav system. Whoever comes up with that gets my $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Go upwards to Audi then. Maybe VW for a fat, heavy Passat. It won't make any sense for there to be DVD navigation because of the OnStar relationship already started. If it's that big of a deal but you like the Legacy price, why not look at aftermarket systems which I hear tend to be better? Alpine is highly regarded for its navigation, and there would be various options for the screen display. How bout we make this a suggestion thread for anybody who knows about aftermarket dvd nav.?

skp Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 so i hear no nav....what do you guys think of this? [url]http://www.avic-n1.com/default.asp[/url] all in one package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 [quote name='skp']so i hear no nav....what do you guys think of this? [url]http://www.avic-n1.com/default.asp[/url] all in one package[/quote] Pretty cool, especially since it has the vehicle dynamics feature. Nothing like getting a unit that has navigation and can measure how much faster your car is getting with mods. :D -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 That's awesome! Where would you put it in the Legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 [quote name='ha-evolution']That's awesome! Where would you put it in the Legacy?[/quote] It's a single DIN unit, so it would replace the stock Legacy CD player. I'm not sure about what install kit would be used, as I have not seen how the stock unit is mounted.

MSB Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 This was a photo sourced by mines and shows an in-dash dvd nav system, and I'm sure i've seen others about like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 That location doesn't look so bad. The price does - $2,200! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Interesting. I wonder if the surrounding trim pops off so the head unit can be removed since that looks stock. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 You may have to pop a few panels to get to that point, but you should be able to pull the panel before pulling the head unit. IIRC, at least that is how it is in my BD Legacy (though thank god haven't had to open the dash in a few months. :cool: ) Pic of stock USDM dash from NAIAS in Detroit: [img]http://www.subdriven.com/gallerytk/generated/AutoShows/American%20Shows/NAIAS%202004/043__scaled_600.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2x Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 [quote name='Th3Franz']Interesting. I wonder if the surrounding trim pops off so the head unit can be removed since that looks stock.[/quote] It's been mentioned elsewhere, but Subaru (of Japan) provides a replacement dash cover for those who wish to use third party stero gear. That's probably what's happened here. I'm sure SOA will also provide the same part, or at the very least someone will import them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I can't imagine they'll offer one stock to us with our cars. It may be an option however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt_ltd Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 from Edmunds.com: [url]http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/roadtests/firstdrive/101838/article.html?tid=edmunds.h..reviews.rightbanner.1.*[/url] [i] "Dual-zone automatic climate control is available this year, but Subaru has no plans to offer a high-power audio system on par with the competition in this price range. The top-line Outback gets a seven-speaker system with a subwoofer and MP3 compatibility, but other Outbacks and Legacys make do with a mundane six-speaker setup. We were told, however, that a navigation system will be available starting in the 2006 model year."[/i] one more year... :( This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatCQB Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Since NAV will come sooner or later, that means the stock headunit must have inputs for them right? I wonder if the DIN conversion is just the face plate or would we need new brackets behind it too? The stock headunit seems wider than a DIN.
