Aux input for stock head unit?

irmiger · 02-03-2004, 06:53 PM

Does anyone know if you can add an aux input (1/8" phono or RCA) to the stock Subaru head units? I want to use my iPod without the stupid FM modulator. I have the 2004 Forester XT with the stock in-dash 6-disc changer.

Besides using an FM thing, I don't believe so...or you could use one of those tape adapters.

Currently I am using the Monster iCar Charger and iCarPlay cassette adapter. Alpine will introduce a HU with iPod functionality in the summer and I believe others will follow suit. I hope Eclipse will have something!

I tried a wireless FM Modulator in my Saab convertible... the sound was terribly flat and there were interference at times. I can't imagine how it would sound in a crappy stock Subaru audio setup.

I am trying to upgrade my speakers and add an amp ASAP followed by a new HU in the summer.
