BTW, here's a nice pic of what your P117 should look like after you extract it from your dash:

Here's the rear view of a P117: What's the plug on the left for?

Would a P128 work? If so, will it play mp3s?

My '99 Limited has the subwoofer ~ would that be an issue with the WRX unit?

Well, sure we could replace our indash units, but where's the challenge in that? I've already got an easier way to play mp3 tunes in the car ~ I've got a 4GB chip in my cell phone, and with my Motorola Motorokr I can play whatever's stored on my phone through my car stereo via Bluetooth to the Motorokr then via FM to the P117. Very slick & easy, but I'd still like to add a CD changer to my existing system.

Wonder why there are different part numbers for the CD magazines: H6250AC530 H6240AS220 (CD magazine - GT LMTD) Does this mean that there's another CD changer that's supposed to fit my '99 Limited? It's already got the subwoofer (H6300AS030) under the driver's seat, wonder if that makes any difference...

This CD changer sold recently on eBay ~ scratched & cracked, it went for $20 + $25.55 shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270323075917

Crutchfield says that a universal CD changer would work, but that kind of defeats the purpose of retaining the stock Panasonic indash unit, since those universal changers need a separate controller. The Panasonic CD changer that was an OEM option is Subaru Part # H6250AC510, but it more than likely can't play anything that baffles the P117 that controls it. Here's what a Panasonic P117 looks like:

The radio is made by Panasonic ~ so I'm curious as well ~ I'd like to add a changer to my '99 Outback too! Anybody had any luck addin' one?
