Nathan sent me a new board, I swapped everything back in, and the volume level is good. The XM volume is a little lower, but I think that's just due to the receiver. Thanks again Nathan. Josh

Everything is securely in place. As I mentioned, the problem exists with the CD player playing normal cd's as well. That should have nothing to do with the cables, and should only deal with the ribbon cables and the device itself. I would like to get this fixed. I will send you a PM to discuss the details. Thanks Josh

I dropped one, but found it down in there when I removed the radio. You could probably just get another screw at home depot or lowes which would work fine.

Yeah I bumped up the XM volume to max. I even tried playing around with removing the noise reducer, and that didn't help. Since the lower volume is ocurring with the CD's as well, I'm pretty sure the reason is the part that goes in between the CD player & Radio. Did you experience any decrease in volume for the CD player when you installed yours? Thanks Josh

I finally got around to installing this in my GF's Outback. I bought the unit back in March I think. Anywho, the install went pretty well. I installed an XM Sportscaster receiver in the cubby above the clock. It fits great!! and the back light matches the red. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. One thing I did notice is that the cd volume & the XM receiver volume is a decent amount quieter then the radio, (the cd player is quieter then it used to be). I can turn the volume on the CD player all the way up to 40, and it's reasonably loud, but it's not really loud. Is this normal, have others experienced this? Here's some pics of the install. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/outbackxm/ Josh
