CD Player

[AlcyoneDaze]

15 year old CD players are most likely going to be shot. The Compact Disc was a fairly high-tech thing back in 92'. A working head unit however should play a new standard format disc with no problems whatsoever.

A good MP3/CD unit can be had for less than $150 nowadays, and splicing into the wiring harness is easy with the How-To's on this site. I agree though, to maintain an OEM look I'd go with the 6-disc WRX changer or another factory unit, although anything with green illumination looks fine

I must be a lucky one ...
I can play burned audio CD's in the factory unit in the 94 without any problems

the 92 came with an aftermarket head unit.

Is the SVX CD player interchangeable with a Legacy CD player? I know the tape deck is different...

[kwren]

to replace our factory unit that would fit in and a remote cd-radio in the trunk? Can that be done??
Thanks

Went through the process of installing a 05 WRX 6disc player this Sunday. Pretty happy with the result all-in-all. May need to shave a little material off the back cover on the door to clear the 2 knobs but it fit the cage nicely (with a little cutting), wire hook-ups with David Carters harnesses were simple, and it sure sounds better than the older Panasonic it replaced. Illuminates in green too!

I just installed an 03 Legacy GT 6 disc. Check out the mod section and search radio install for the anal. No cutting involved of the front cover like you need to do with the WRX. Wish it had a MP3 plug but the weather band really more than makes up for the lack of the plug

You are lucky, but ever since my last post:

Initially the music is real fuzzy sounding with alot of static and like to skip from track to track but then after about 10 minutes of driving it starts playing normally (work is only 12 minutes away).Its most notable on a cold or a damp morning. Ive learned to live with it.

mines been functioning flawlessly, maybe i jinxed myself in a good way. I just hope i did'nt reverse it

Any pics of it installed?

[subarufamily]

I dont think it will fit due to the security door and distance offset in the dash. It
will cover the climate control when it is up. I have installed A D DIN and there is very little room left over

It's been a long time since I looked at this, but as far as I remember, you CAN replace just the CD player with a panasonic equivalent, or a Subaru-branded panasonic unit from a Legacy. The plugs are a different shape, but the wires are the same, you just need to figure out the pinouts and adapt them.

I am sure if I can get a hold of one, SVXdc will be able to make me a plug. Do you know any model #'s?
