I purchased a 6 disc CD changer/AM/FM/cassette from an '02 WRX off eBay, and I'd like to put it into my GL-10--BUT--I don't have the connector for the back of the radio (obviously the one in the GL-10 is different), nor do I have (or can I find) a pinout. There is nothing that comes out of the back of the unit, only a space for the harness that's built into the car to plug in--and I was told by the dealer that it would be a $125 part as the entire dashboard wiring harness for that year was integral to the radio.

 

Any input, or could anyone spare me the connector?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

haha that's ridiculous.

 

I'm pretty sure all you need is a reverse harness for a WRX/most any other 93+ subaru, and a harness for your car. They're available at many places for around $5-12 each. Then you just need to match up the correct wires and solder (preferably) them together. The diagrams should be available at http://www.the12volt.com.

 

The one problem you might have is getting the dimmer to work because some harnesses don't have both illumination wires. It was discussed a bit in this thread, which also has links to where you can buy the harnesses.

Check Ebay. Guy sells them for @ $14 w/ shipping. Check out pic carefully to make sure pins are right because a lot of different people sell OEM wiring harness and that is not what you need. When I got it, it read "Reverse Harness" on the package. It has female end to fit into radio; most others have male end.
