Stereo wiring harness found! And I need info on each model year

[SVXdc]

I finally bought a new stereo and pulled out my factory radio. (BTW, many thanks to svxeno and Gavin Haslett for the docs on the SVX Stereo Installation!)

I saw the many other posts from people who tried just about every stereo and accessory retailer out there, but couldn't find the correct wiring harness for the SVX. Not ready to cut off the factory audio plug -- I'll likely want to put the old radio back in when I sell the car -- I spent the last several days looking for a connector that would work, and have actually found one. Well, sort of...

What I found could work, but will require some surgery. Before I post the information, I'm going to talk to the manufacturer to see if they have an even closer match. And then I'll perform the surgery, so I can say how difficult it actually turned out to be.

There have been enough recurring posts asking about this that I'm also going to ask the company, "What would it take for you to make a batch of the 'right' connector?" (e.g. what minimum quantity, sold in bulk to a single buyer [who in turn would sell smaller numbers to interested SVX owners and clubs]). [Please don't bother posting replies saying "Yes, I'd be interested in that" yet; let's see what quantity the company says first.]


So my question to you all: Could someone who has actually seen the connector in all of the model years please tell me which ones are the same. Are the 94-97 all identically-shaped connectors? And does the pinout stay exactly the same, or do any of the wires change over the years? Please, only answer if you are 100% sure. Another way to tell is whether a factory radio from one year will work in any/all of the other years.

If no one person has seen them all, then I'd like to hear from people who can tell me what each individual year looks like. A picture would be great. And if you know it is the same as any other year(s), say which ones.

Gavin's doc mentions that the 92 and 93 SVX's had the same connector as some other Subaru, but nothing specific. Does anyone know which "other, older Subaru" these match? Is that stereo harness commonly available? How much different is the 92/93 connector from the 94-97?
