Reverse Radio Wiring Harness
 for Subaru Impreza and Forester factory radio

Fits 2008-up Impreza/WRX/STI and 2009-up Forester Subaru radios
(without factory Navigation system)

 

Applications:

  • Install a subwoofer, Line Output Converter, or gauges in the late-model Subarus without cutting or splicing your factory wires (wire one reverse and one 'forward' harness together, and tie into any desired lines).

  • Restore a  a Subaru car's factory radio plug that has been damaged or removed.

  • Install a Subaru factory radio in another vehicle.

  • For older model years and models with OEM Navi, please see this 14-pin reverse wiring harness.

Although other after-market harness manufacturers make a reverse harness for Subarus, theirs lack several of the wires found on the factory harness.

I custom-make these reverse harnesses and guarantee they will have all 18 wires.  The wires have the same EIA-standard color-coding as other after-market harnesses, with text labels (for example, "Left Front Speaker +") and pre-stripped ends ready for you to crimp or solder.  The 18 wires are:

  • Four speakers (8 wires)
  • Ground
  • +12 Volt Accessory (key-switched)
  • +12 Volt Memory/Battery (always-on)
  • Power antenna control (remote turn-on for motorized antenna or factory antenna booster amplifier)
  • Illumination ("Illumination +")
  • Dimmer ("Illumination -")
  • Audio Steering Wheel Controls (2 wires)
  • CAN data bus (2 wires)

Price: $16 each, plus shipping

I also produce "forward" harnesses, also guaranteed to have all 18 wires.
