I managed to get the radio installed today, and I tested out the new cluster. I need to wait about 6000 miles before I can swap it, but it does work perfectly.

First, the radio: It is a bit of a tight fit with all of the car integration stuff back in the dash.. but I did get it all installed. I need to do some research on the wiring for the camera before I can get that done.


And here is the VA chassis WRX cluster that I test fitted. I need to disable the headlight leveler lights, but otherwise it pairs up properly with the car. It will be a nice upgrade once the mileage comes around.

I added a few things to the list.

I have a couple of "High Function Display" modules from various Imprezas and Foresters.. I think I will end up going with the US SJ Forester version does not have the HVAC LCD, but I will see which one cooperates the best with the car once I make the harness. I cannot finalize the installation until after some selector switches arrive from Japan which will not be here until February.

Same thing with the Auto-Up/Down switches which are in the same package. I may need to do some repinning to make them work, but the Japanese BMM Legacy B4 switch modules should drop in on both the Impreza and the Forester.

I finally put all of the Subarus in a row today. Finding a time when all of them are home during the daylight is not the easiest thing in the world.

When did your wife get a 'preza?

When did your wife get a 'preza?

About a month ago. I have a thread for her car, although it is not very long. We have not decided what to name the car yet, so it still has boring license plates.

How about "the prez" or mrs prez? The feeling of power and authority

I moved this over to her thread. We do not know yet.. no name has really resonated yet, but she absolutely wants to change the plate.
