Thanks AREDUB!
Aredub,
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, Clydesvx |

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.

Aredub, or anyone. My factory system works fine. All the lights light, the CD has never skipped, & the LCDS are functioning. Having said that, it means tomorrow something will crap out. In the event I ever need to swap it out, can a stock unit be bench tested to be sure everything's cool BEFORE I chisel at all the surrounding plastic & tangle the harness? Just curious in advance. Thanks, guys.
Ron.

The interesting thing in all this is that the CD Unit I replaced my original with, has a mfg date of January, '91. The unit I replaced was mfg September, '91.

No stinkin' lights
If anyone needs the CD players face plate(very good shape) or the board behind it(has the lights and actual buttons: all work) I would be willing to part with them for $5 each. My player died and I'm trying to recoup a lil $$$ to buy another one. I hate not having a CD player to listen to First dibs to those who are going to be at the Reading meet. I'll bring them with me to do away with S/H. If no one from the Reading meet needs them I'll sell them for the same plus whatever the shipping charges would be
B.C. P.S. If it makes a difference, both the face plate and the board are easy to exchange if you already have the unit removed from the dash. |
