For Sale: Radio Wiring Harnesses for SVX!!
Replacing your SVX's factory radio? MUCH easier installation with this wiring harness:
http://ae64.com/WA-pics/AdapterAng.jpg If you do any searching you'll soon find that nobody makes a wiring harness that fits the SVX. After considerable effort, I have put together one that does fit. Mine is equal or better than what the harness manufacturers would have made had the SVX had been produced in larger numbers. I've been purchasing parts to make harnesses in small production runs and am selling them to SVX and other Subaru owners. Yes, all harnesses are available! I will update this thread if/when I ever stop making these. Quote:
18-inch antenna extension cable $3.00 (with any harness order) — Male to female extension cable with Motorola connectors. Needed by most radios to reach the SVX's antenna cable. SVX-to-14-pin Plug-and-Play Harness $32 — By popular demand, a ready-to-use harness with SVX forward and 14-pin reverse connectors. Install a newer Subaru radio in your SVX with no crimping or soldering required! Far less bulky than separate SVX and 14-pin harnesses wired together. http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5...annotat.th.jpgOlder Subaru two-piece radio harness with 7- and 9-pin connectors $10 — Used in European SVXs, and other 1994 and older Subarus. http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/2...notated.th.jpg20-pin forward and reverse harnesses — fits most 2008-up Impreza, 2009-up Forester, 2010-up Legacy/Outback. E-mail is the best way to contact me. See information in green, above. __________________ David C. 1996 Laguna Blue Pearl SVX L AWD |
The response has been great! Here are some FAQs:
1) Link to my SVX Audio Installation guide (click link). Shows how to remove the radio without scratching up your dash, has a wire color chart for the radio harness, and includes many other useful tips. 2) If you are installing an after-market radio in your SVX, then you want an SVX "Forward" harness. 3) Here is a thread I compiled for other Subaru models (on the NASIOC forums): Stock head unit information -- pin-outs, aux inputs, subwoofers, and more4) Yes, I still have these harnesses available. I will update this thread when I stop making them. 5) Yes, my SVX harnesses fit all SVX model years (1992-1997). But you should compare your car to the pictures in my locker (click here) to be sure your factory radio plug was not removed by a previous owner or car stereo installer. 6) The SVX radio harness is different than the harnesses in all other Subaru models. 7) No other company makes or sells radio harnesses for the SVX. 8) Because of #7, no stereo install shops will have these harnesses. If you ask them to install a radio in your SVX, they will want to cut off your car's radio plug and do a "hard-wire" install. :eek: Even if you want to have a shop do the work, you'll be better off if you get a harness from me first. But take a look at my SVX Installation Guide -- you may find that you can do it yourself. At worst, you may just need the shop to solder or crimp the harnesses and then you do the rest. If you still want them to do the install, tell them the highlights from the guide so they can avoid the pitfalls (opening the dash, avoiding scratching things up, finding the antenna connectors, etc.). 9) If you're in the Atlanta area (or passing through), I'd be happy to sell you one in person. Send me an e-mail to arrange to meet. I'll also bring some to any SVX or Subaru meets that I attend. If you haven't bought anything from Crutchfield before (at your current address), and would like $20 off your first order over $200, e-mail me for a referral code. In gratitude of the wealth of information the subaru-svx.net website has provided me, I am donating 50 cents to this site from each sale. This site welcomes any donations to help defray operating costs. For more information see this page: Donation Instructions. You might also like to read Aredubjay's post from 2002 which gives some history about this site and remains a compelling call for continued donations: "The State of The Network" (but please see the new link above for the current places/methods to send donations). . |
I've added a photo of the SVX's radio connector (what's wired into the car) to my locker. Edited 1st post above to point to that instead of the pic of the rear of the factory radio.
Entirely new and improved HTML version of the SVX stereo install guide here! [Edit: see link in previous post] It has many new pictures and doesn't talk about snipping the antenna wires anymore :). |

Order satisfaction
Hello all, I just got the adaptor and wanted to let everyone know that the item arrived as promised, and it's exactly like the other "Professional" harnesses I've used before. Thanks for the quick delivery David.

BOMB AZZ Harness!!!
I just put this harness together with a WRX harness and it went together perfectly. It was easy to use and everything was clear. David sent out the order the instant he received the payment and I had received the package as promised. I cannot stress how good this harness is. It is perfect and there are no problems. For those that have cut the factory harness, sorry but you have lost quite a bit of flexibility in future swaps.
This is a must have if you want to change headunits to anything else. I hope David that you can keep these harnesses going. I know that there are many that will want them. |
I don't have the funds for a new receiver (going upscale style) so I was wondering if iI should just get that now?... How long will you be making these/how many do you have?

If you know you're going to install a new radio, but aren't going to do it soon, I would recommend that you tell me via e-mail. Then if I get down to the last few and it looks like I won't make any more (or there will be a long delay), I'll give you the first chance to buy one before I let someone else have it. |
Worth a bump.... :D
I ordered two of them and they arrived as promised. Workmanship looks great. Now all I need is my new head unit :) |
I got one of these, the product looks great and the redone instructions will be a big help too! I'm looking forward to getting a new headunit much more now! :)
So.... any progress on dash LED's? |
How does this product:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jht...equestid=20050 compare to the one you are offering? Are they basically the same? Anyone know? |

UPDATE: J.C. Whitney finally pulled the bogus "SVX harness" from their catalog. If you search through older posts, you'll see that SVX owners have ordered this part from J.C. Whitney and when they got it found that it did not fit. Believe me, if it were available elsewhere, I would not have spent the time to make them myself! |

I don't "plan" on replacing my unit, but, I'd like to have one as a "CYA" measure. Gotta have my tunes, if the stock unit goes out and I can't find another, I'll need to do SOMETHING. Let me know when inventory gets low, or, if you're planning on ceasing production. I'd like to snag one. Thanks again for your fine work on this project. It's certainly great to have members who are willing to put their time, efforts and monies into filling a need and passing on the results at a reasonable price. |
They still for sale?, i am getting a new SVX and would like to put my HU in with it till i rewire the whole cars speaker system.
