Hi Greg, Thanks for the advice. I think the way you went would be the way for me to go. I know 95-99 Outback radios are interchangable, and the 6 CD function is not really that important. So I'll aim to find one of those radios. WB is a definite attraction. I'll also see if I can't find that archived thread (might that be moved here) - that would be a big help. Thanks again.

Hi folks, I'd like to get my sister one of those AM/FM/Weather Band/Cassette/6 CD radios for her 96 Legacy Outback wagon for Christmas... (Right now she's got a AM/FM/Cassette). I see lots of them on ebay, etc, pulled from later model Foresters, Legacies and WRX's - but how can I know which ones will fit? Do all 96 Outback wagons have both connectors (I guess that means double DIN) necessary for hooking those up? Unfortunately, I don't have access to her car so I can't take the cassette player out to look. Thanks.

As far away as it is, I'd be inclined to take the vehicle back to where you got it for warranty repair (tell them your symptoms and ask them to diagnose and fix it). The last thing you want is to find out it is a head gasket, cracked heads, whatever, and then they say you voided the warranty by having other people work on the cooling system.

I'd have to echo that reply. It's fairly straightforward, but do expect corrosion removing the wiper arm from the splined shaft of the motor. Be careful to pull the wiper arm straight off, rather than twisting or pulling too hard on one side. Then take the motor out from inside (from there, it's just a couple of mounting bolts you have to remove). You might want to make sure you're getting voltage to the motor before you replace it. Good luck.

I think the AUX/line-in connector was omitted in 1992.

Make that a third advantage to having DRL installed.

You could still think about getting DRL installed instead of leaving your headlights on all the time. The advantages: - DRL lights the high beams at a lower power, so your headlights don't wear out as quickly. - Some insurance companies give you reduced rates if you have DRL verifiably installed (they won't if you just tell them you leave your lights on all the time). Good luck...

Thanks - that looks easy. I appreciate it...

Thanks for all the responses so far. edrach: I know that aux CD player mounts below the stock tape/radio (I've seen it on other vehicles). What would be on my mom's legacy now in the space where the CD would go? Is there just a flat panel there? I'm trying to remember but can't... And yes, I'll be sure to check interchangability before buying anything online... cookie: I don't believe it's a clarion, but I may still want to take you up on your offer and buy a harness to hook it up - let me get back to you... roda2003: that's exactly the type of thing I'd do on my own vehicle, thanks for the idea. But for my mom, it would make her nervous, having so many presets That's one reason I'd like the stock CD player that came with those legacies - she'll feel like it's still her car, and that I haven't "changed" it. Again, thanks.

Hi folks, My mom has got a 91 Legacy wagon with stock am/fm cassette player. She'd like a CD player, and I'd love to add a stock stand-alone CD player for her, so she can still use the tape player. (she still has plenty of those). Anyone done this? Is the wiring already there for adding the separate CD player? Mounting issues? Thanks...
