Dual HVAC Double Din Kit: Completed Install Thread

That wrap looks great! Especially with the wood trim. I normally hate wood grain interior but that flows well enough to make me want to convert to the 08-09 interior.

I converted to the 08-09 Interior Trim.

It's about $1K in parts.

If you want a list of the parts, let me know.

Finished my install a few months ago but finally got her all wrapped one color about 2-3 wks ago and forgot to put it in here. Future plans include a Nexus 7 in the vent cubby with btssm and a backup cam

According to their website (http://www.metraonline.com/vfgapi/vehicle/76092?):

 

Metra 70-8901

http://www.metraonline.com/part/70-8901

 

I haven't personally used the Metra harness, so I can't confirm whether it has all the necessary wires to connect to David's ae64.com i88 harness.

 

I did use the Scosche SU03B harness, so I can confirm that it has all 14 wires needed to work with the ae64.com i88 adapter.

Thank you. I ended up going with the scosche harness and you are right it does come with 14pins. I emailed David @ae64, do you know how long it takes to get a response back from him?

Did you ever get a hold of David? I just ordered the jdm double din from avojdm, and my double din radio and wasn't sure if he's still making the wire harnesses... hopefully I get an email back from him.

He's just been really busy lately. If you don't hear back from him for a few days, just send him a follow up email!

Cool, thanks! Isn't really a rush, takes a while to get shipments from Japan anyway. Good to know he still makes them [emoji106]

 

Edit: David just got back to me, and I ordered the necessary wires, he even helped out with additional functions and guided me on what exactly I needed! Big thumbs up to him!

I hardwired the whole thing and finding the pinout for the connectors for the usdm radio and climate control was a pain, but here it is finished.

Snagged a double-din kit last week on Yahoo auctions Japan for $279 shipped including the JDM hazard switch and an i88 pigtail.

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n392470427

 

I installed it last night along with a Sony XAV-AX1000 head unit. The install was a piece of cake. Since it came with an i88 pigtail I didn't see the need to use an adapter harness. I just soldered it in alongside the existing i88 connector. Easy peasy.

 

Then I had to notch the dash support which was a 5 minute task using a hole saw and cutoff wheel on my dremel.

 

The rest was a standard head unit install. The kit I bought even came with a harness adapter and I already had an antenna adapter laying around.

 

 

Works great. Right now I'm just running the stock speakers off the head unit and it sounds way, way better than I was expecting. Definitely an improvement from the stock radio. Soon I'll be installing new front speakers, backup camera, sub and amp. I've been wanting to do this for a while and I'm glad I finally took the plunge.

First post, sorry if it's not in the right place or covered elsewhere!

I have a 2008 Outback XT and am having zero luck getting the i88 and i85 adapters. I have sent multiple emails from different domains over the last 3 months to ae64 with no reply. AVOJDM says nobody else has had issues.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

I saw these after searching for "i88" "i85" etc.

Have you received and did everything go smooth with install? I just ordered all 3 and am ready for a radio again

Ordered and received but not installed yet (been lazy)

I got mine and hooked it up without issue. Still figuring out the i85 harness since it is not plug and play (need to get my PAC installed now)

 

SOOO happy to finally have a radio again

Got it installed, working great so far. Hard to notice the gaps from the driver side. Head-unit is a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX.

I used the 14pin+i88 from him, worked great. Will be buying the i85 later, wasn't sure I wanted to keep my SWCs but turns out using the touchscreen while driving is real sketchy.

 

Also if anyone was curious, I emailed him about what came on the i85. Comes with SWC wires only, they can add on the aux wires for $25 more - have to email support for it though.

For anyone who is looking to get better fitment between the HVAC controls and the shift bezel, I made a quick video explaining how I did it -->

The previous owner of my specB moved an Alpine HU in place of the stock navi, ordered the AV Panel, i88, i85, and an antenna adapter (he never connected the antenna or SWC). Waiting to get everything so I can do the install! I’m not missing anything if the headunit I have is already wired up, right?
