Head Unit Replacement - 99 Forester

Featured Replies

HI. I am replacing the head unit in a 99 Subaru Forester. I was wondering if anyone knows which wire is witch? (ie purple with silver dot is front left speaker ground) Or a site at which i could get this information? I do not want to use a wiring harness adapter as they are hard to get where i live. Thanks in advance

I have the radio diagram for a 96. It should be the same. The wire colors are becoming more universal in different auto makes.

 

Let me know your emial address.

A wiring adaptor really does make your installation much easier. Definitely worth taking extra effort to find and order one.
