I am trying to install Sirius in my 93 Loyale. The Sirius kit has 3 wires (red, black, and yellow) that I need to splice to the stock Loyale stereo wiring. Does anyone know what color wires I need to hook up? I tried matching colors and that didn't work. I noticed that some of the wires changed colors at the connector. Are Subaru wires coded differently?

 

Thanks.

 

 

p.s. I hooked Sirius up in a different vehicle no problems.

On the Sirius, black should be ground, red should be to power that is turned off by key (usually the red one on your stereo), the yellow should be permanent power (gets power all the time for memory). Ground can be hooked up anywhere that leads back to the battery, red should be hooked up to an ignition slot in the fuse box or the power antenna output from the stereo (preferably), The yellow should be spliced into the permanent power of the stereo or to the battery or to a permanent power slot in the fuse box. Check your owners manual just to be sure, but electronic wire colors are pretty standard.

Looking at the factory schematic, it looks like you should connect as follows:

 

[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]Sirius     Subaru[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]-----------------[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]black      black[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]red        blue/yellow[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]yellow     green[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]

 

 

Hope that helps.
