has anyone done this with the harmon kardon system. does the auxilary cord that comes ran to the center console remain functional after swaping head units?

Thanks for the geat video! I've been searching and this is the best I've found so far for a legacy

For more information on how to replace the stereo, especially for those of you with automatic climate controls, search the Legacy board (legacygt dot com) for "official-dual-hvac-double-din

hey guys i have an 05 outback dash and setup is the same as this and i was looking into buying a new head unit, basically there is no cheap fix that will get you aircon etc aswell unless you can find a macentosh i think its called which is the same as this but found on the top model versions, same unit but with rca ports for amps. Otherwise you need a line down or an amp that you can attach the speaker wise straight up such as an alpine mrx v60

Got the same exact car :D thanks for detailed instructions!

This is definitely the best I have seen and most detailed. Toward the end the voice got a little quiet, so I'll have to listen again, but it is a very good video.

You don't have to remove the shift knob, you can just let the plastic cover hang. Not as convenient but a whole lot easier

Great Video, also found photo's of someone who took the unit apart. Basically bottom line is you cannot replace this unit. However I assume that one could install a standard stereo above the main facia where some models have the Nav unit. Then I guess you just need to take the wires out of the in-built stereo and run these to the new unit with a ISO adaptor cable. Anyone done this?
@the4stringking23. Right but it's really not that difficult to remove it and it is very helpful for it to be out of the way while working. Also there's a greater chane of scratching it or losing something if you leave it on.
