Yes, all of the different types of harnesses are still available.

Please see post #1 and send any questions/orders via e-mail.

I'm going to have to buy a couple of these...

Anyone know if the newer OE CD players/changers will play burned CDs?

I'm replacing my bad OE HU and need to know if one of the OEs will work or if I'm going aftermarket.

That way I'll know if I need the WRX adapter or not, too. ;)

THANKS for making these!!!!!!!!

I have a 6CD changer from an 02 WRX and it plays all my burned CDs. Don't know about any other OE units though.

THANKS! So, '02+ WRX 6CDs should work, how do they look?

Hi!

I do live in €urope but I own an US spec SVX since yesterday (yeah, I know... I saw the light a bit late, lol).

Why I'm saying that I do live in €urope is because we do use ISO connectors since a few years so there's no need to wire anything anymore between the car & the aftermarket stereo...

Could you provide me such an harness? Directly from the US SVX plug onto my ISO stereo?

Should look something like this exemple:

In fact that picture comes from an Ebay page where the seller lists its product as OK for the SVX but I guess its only for Eurospec cars??? Are the connectors different on US, €uro or JDM cars or can I buy this product eyes closed?

Here's the link for info (if I brake a forum rule by doing this, please take the liberty of taking it off):

Thanx for your response.

Hi Denis! Welcome to the forums.

I know that SVXs in the US, Canada, and Japan all use the 20-pin connector (with 16 wires populated), similar to what I'm making.

I have heard that SVXs in Europe use the 14-pin connector (like on most other Subarus). I have not actually seen a good picture of the connector in a European SVX to confirm. However, that would explain why nobody in Europe has ever asked about my SVX harnesses, except for a guy in the UK recently who bought a JDM :).

So yes, the harness adapter you found on eBay would only work for European SVXs, not your USDM. I can tell from the picture that the Subaru side has 14 pin positions (with only 13 populated).

So there are 2 more wires on the US/JDM than on the European SVXs. One is for the "satellite" (remote control) buttons on the steering wheel, which was offered on some early JDM SVXs. I'm guessing that this option was not offered in Europe (otherwise, I don't know how they would have made the wiring connection).

The other missing wire is the 3rd one for illumination. This wire signals when the driver has pressed the 'night illumination dimness cancel' button on the end of the turn signal lever. When the headlights are on and you push this button, parts of the factory radio's display and other things on the dash get brighter or dimmer. It sounds like European Subaru factory radios did not do this. No aftermarket stereo will need this, so it won't matter if that wire is missing from the harness.

Unfortunately, I can't make a single-piece adapter like what is in your picture. You would need to solder or crimp together my SVX 'forward' harness (to connect to your SVX) with an ISO reverse harness (to connect to your new stereo).

I don't know if I can get an ISO reverse harness from my supplier, but it would probably be better for you to find one locally anyway. That way you will be certain that you get the correct harness to fit your new stereo. Perhaps one similar to this?

When you're ready to buy my SVX harness, or if you have any other questions, please e-mail me (see link in first post of this thread).

Thanx a lot for taking some time making things clearer... ;)

Subaru or why make things simple if we can make 'em complicated??? :D

I will buy your adapter & an ISO reverse harness locally (I can find those everywhere, no prob).

You'll soon receive mail from me. Thanx again. :cool:

Forward wiring harness
 

Hello. I've emailed you twice to place order via 96svx.dc@gmail.com but still waiting for answer.
Thanks.

Sorry, Gmail had placed your messages in the spam folder. I guess I'm going to have to start checking my mail via their webmail page.

I've sent a reply via e-mail. If you don't receive it, send me a PM here.

Are these still being offered for purchase by any chance?

Yes, they are indeed still available. Please see post #1 and e-mail me any questions or orders.

Im looking to get one of these if you still carry them! I sent an email last week sometime, never got a response.

Re: For Sale: Radio Wiring Harnesses for SVX!!
 

I ordered one from him a few weeks ago. I know he is still doing them but I think he is pretty busy right now. Sit tight and I am sure he will get to you, or hardwire your new radio.
