New Subaru Steering Wheel in Old Model

Great job with the details of this. Like you, I spent a lot of time looking at wiring diagrams when I installed this wheel and controls on my 08 FSXT a few years back. FYI, in the 3 pin connector you have 1 and 3 designators reversed when you are referencing the B236 connector (but as you mentioned, it doesn't really matter as it's just a loop with different resistors for different buttons). Lastly, in my 08 turbo the 3 pin connector (ST3) is actually used for the cruise control, so you can use that to source the connector and make it a little cleaner install. Great work overall though! For others looking at this video, my 08 turbo (SG9 instead of the SG5 of this video), didn't require me to go in and modify the internals of the cruise control switch, so it's a bit simpler.

do you know if an 06 impreza would require modifying the cruise control switch? I just bought a 2010 impreza wheel and am gonna start working on it tonight

Please tell me you can assist me, i bought a legacy GT steering, I just want to connect the radio, i only have one spare wire/pin in my setup. which wires do i run for just the radio (SW+) like jrobling

@@NickPa777 Hello there. I am in the same boat with the SG9. Were you able to find out where the 4 empty pins on the green connector lead to? The 1st of the pin in the green one is hooked to my air bag. The rest is empty.

[@markhoggard8880]

Don't suppose you have any details of the conversion?, I have an 08 SG9 and are looking to swap my wheel? Any help would be much appreciated

[@veter_kg]

I definitely will try this!

[@nixter1618]

This was an amazingly put together video and super helpful. I have been considering doing this to my aero. I have a few writeups saved and this helped even more.

[@roscored1000]

mate your battery terminals are filthy. But full praise to you, I did this a few years ago for my XS adding an XT wheel for basic wheel controls, and yes it took a while to work it out. I do have some forester wiring pdf files and they helped. but man it was a pain.

[@wesleysmith268]

I'm doing it now on a stratus coupe with a 2017 wheel 😂 this is a fun job lmao

[@musasizigodfreydixion6231]

Very complicated job.Bravo to all car technicians.

[@frenchfreys]

Awesome video! I've just started on attempting this project on my 2005 and this is easily the most helpful resource I've found anywhere. Thank you a ton!

[@Fred-hd5mo]

I did it on subaru xv 2014. The wires do go to the main connecter of the old car radio. Sr- goes to ground an SR1 and 2 can direct connected to the aftermarket android car radio.

[@bonozil]

Great video, just in time. thank you

[@tjadventures]

Pretty nice video. I installed the facelift steering wheel from the one you have. Mine also has the phone control buttons. I also made a tutorial for mine and i remember it was a lot of research and testing, but a pretty nice project, you can watch it on my channel. I was thinking of changing it again with a 2015+ model, but those are super expensive.😅

[@gavilangaragellc]

Great video and awesome mod! I'm hoping that you've purchased a tripod. 😊

[@nchia]

Nice work!

[@jacobmayoral7614]

Bad ass video! Thank you!

[@bc8Sooners]

Nice swap. What year/model is the steering wheel from? Thinking about doing this to my 07 FXT as well.

[@Nick-ul2nu]

Does anyone know if a 2024 forester steering wheel will fit in a 2005 forester x?

[@victorfambretres2947]

Would be amazing if could do the same in my Legacy! 😭

[@Romanoo7]

can you do that on 06 subaru wrx TR?

[@growingup4487]

yes.

[@Tamas-Ulrich]

Could you help me please? 🥺
