Scooby HU into a GM Update

Dash_Martino · 06-26-2005, 03:56 PM

Hey all, I got the mounting bracket and wiring harness to put a scooby head unit into a 91(?) buick century for my sister. I went to get a harness clip from the junk yard to plug into the back of the scooby head unit so I could hook it up to the GM harness I got from walmart, but I can't seem to find a FAQ that has the matching colors for the wires from the back of the scooby clip. After looking at a WRX listing, the colors don't match. It's from an unknown year forester, and the colors are as follows:

Top row: Left to right:

White/Green
Red/Yellow
Brown/White
Blue/Yellow
White/Red
Blue/Red

Bottom Row: Left to Right
Yellow/Blue
White/Black
Green
Yellow
Black
Red/White
Red/Black
Green/Orange

If anyone can help me match the speakers to these wires I'd really appreciate it, as once I have those I can complete the installation! Thanks!

Even if the wire colors are different, the pins in the same positions should still have the same function as for the WRX.

Your harness has the colors used by the Legacy/Outback from 1995-1999. See this: Legacy/Outback radio connector pin-out.

BTW, there is a link to that from this area's sticky/FAQ...

Sticky: FAQ and Threads of Note- Read me first!

then see the first post in there...

Stock Head Unit information - pinouts, aux. inputs & more

The first couple of posts in that "Stock Head Unit" thread are worth reading -- it will help when you try to figure out how to connect the Subaru radio's illumination wires.

The colors that Joe listed are from a 1998, 2000, or 2001 Forester (different from your harness).
