Oh, if you were wondering where the clocks all went--all Foresters from that year have 2 clocks, one on the roof and the other in the dash. Oops!

JCWhitney sells clocks and cheap aftermarket radios with clocks in them--get a cheap cassette deck (20 bucks or so) and wire it in for the clock.

The clock should be built into the radio on this model, but I believe unless set it will not display anything, unlike most others that will default to 12:00.
Which radio is installed?
The security system is mounted to the radio bracket, but the two are completely distinct systems.

I don't know how many radio options there were, but mine is a single DIN unit with a single cd player, no cassette, 6 radio preset buttons... does that tell you what you need to know? I can take a picture of it later if it'll help.
If there's not one in the radio and I can't find what I'm looking for, I may have to put something together myself. I'll see what JCWhitney has to offer. Maybe I can use parts from them if nothing else.

You can find double DIN CD/Cass/AM/FM and in some cases weatherband units. They are factory and look good in the car. Used from $125 on up. The cd is a single unit, no the 6 CD changer.
Just my 2 cents,
Greg

Umm... yeah.... thanks alot.....


Seriously though, I don't like the looks of most aftermarket stereos but I didn't even think of replacing with a better factory stereo. The AM/FM/Cass/CD/Weather one would be kinda rediculous for me because I don't have any cassettes and I've got other stuff with weather bands on it and I never use them either but if I can get a 6 CD changer with a clock I'll be all over it. Thanks.

It does NOT have a clock.
These vehicles have a clock in the dash instrument cluster, so they removed it from the radio.
I put one in my 97 OB. I then bought an LED clock (numbers about 3/4" high) and stuck it on my dash just above the 4 way flasher button. Canadian Tire Corp in Canada has all sorts of makes and models. I'm sure that Autozone and Pep Boys etc must have a lot to chose from. Surely, there must be some models that are lighted.
For me, there is usually enough ambient light from street lights etc that I can make it out. If not, I just hit the map light for a second. As discussed, I'm sure you could mount something in the cubby bin if you really wanted to.
Commuter
Edit - Ok... should have clicked on the link first. It's now a P131 unit. I have no idea if they have a clock or not. Just call a Subaru dealer (or 2 or 3...).
