Thanks, I got my info from a manual I bought from Subaru. I never thought it would be as bad as it said. Having added and replaced tape decks in older subaru's I it to be a little easier. I got to a point where I could replace a radio and CD in less than 20 minutes.
Thanks Again,

My pleasure, Clyde. Yes, I've read the instructions in the service manual. They are somewhat ridiculous -- telling you that you have to virtually disassemble the car to do the job. I guess it's so they can justify "flat rate." Now that I've done it, it shouldn't take a half hour or so. That is, if I make sure all the components are right side up.
I was disappointed when I put the radio in. I was counting on it to cure my illumination problems on my current unit (no volume/treble/fader backlight, no station button backlight. Plus the remaining lights go on and off and dim and brighten on a whim. But, the replacement radio had no LCD backlight. I'd rather see the LCD at night, I can "Ray Charles" my way around the other buttons.
Best of luck, and have fun.
