I can't take it anymore. I've tried three different models and they're all terrible. The audio is weak, tinny, totally lacking in low-end, and the static is constant and horrible. It makes my iPod sound like an AM radio.

 

I have a 2005 Outback 2.5i Ltd with the factory-installed in-dash 6 CD changer. Does anyone know if I can get Subaru or an after-market place to install an aux-in jack? The unit appears to have only three settings (FM, AM and CD) so I'm not sure if it would be possible to patch in an aux-in. Would I have to replace the entire unit? That would cost a lot more than I'm willing to spend.

I recently installed an XM radio into my GF's Outback using the aux kit, and works great. Here's some pics

Thanks! That thread was exactly what I was looking for (but couldn't seem to find).

So, I've seen a few of these hacks now. Is there one that will work in an '02 Forester w/6-disc in-dash? This particular one seems to say "no".

I'm not sure.....try posting in the thread and see if you get any feedback. I think there's also a forester board around....you may want to ask on there.
