March 26, 201412 yr I've seen some posts where folks have wired an aux type plug (1/8" stereo mini) where the stock tape deck goes in to the radio, but am lacking details. Can someone please tell me how this is done? These cassette adapters are so junky, I can never get the heads to line up, etc.

March 26, 201412 yr I'll be honest, if you don't mind losing the stock radio, it would probably be easier to go buy a cheap radio with a jack at the store, get an adapter if you hard set on the 1/8th, and just change it out.

Also, getting "quiet" power to my cheap mp3/aux unit is being tricky... i'm talking about the hard-wired ones, they work fine, not the wireless transmitters, i wouldn't use those. they plug into the antenna cable and have a standard 1/4" or whatever aux cable/plug. i've bought them off ebay/amazon. hard-wired FM modulators.
March 27, 201412 yr Plenty of info in my old thread here for EA81 radios http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/123124-any-interest-oem-ea-radio-ponderings/
March 27, 201412 yr Author Thanks, I think I'll try it. The 85 radio is a little different, but has a multi pin socket I'll try to decode. Looks like I could actually separate the tape deck and get rid of it if I wanted to...Going to have to redo my radio wiring, anyway, it ain't right. Looking for the harness pinout for 85 EA82 if anyone's done that.
