algraysa Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi there I have a Legacy 2.0R Sportwagon 2007 model. It has the factory fitted in car entertainment system manufactured by an OEM on license from Kenwood specifically for Subaru. This much I have managed to discover. Kenwood are useless in assisting, full of excuses, which is not cool. I'm happy with the unit, it's features and operation (so don't want to replace it). It carries the Kenwood badge on the back - model no: gx204khf2 I would love to get my paws on the schematic for this unit, and see if I can enable the AUX IN input so I can attach my mp3 player to it. And perhaps put a Subwoofer onto it too. Even steering wheel controls. Who knows what else might be possible. I have removed the unit and taken it out. The pics are here: https://www.facebook...75697386&type=1 I know from experience that the additional 20-pin molex allows most of what I want to do, maybe more. But without the schematics I run the possibility of frying the unit and kicking myself for a month or two. And I have had enough dumbass moments like that to know it's never fun. So, if you can assist with wiring configurations and pin-outs, it would be much appreciated. Al. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algraysa Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 OK, so this is rather amusing. As soon as I post here, I find this: http://www.technischedaten.com/view/kenwood_gx204_/55189352/v6l5ngrxg88n4t0m8u1/ Still isn't too clear on what pin is what... any ideas?

Steve Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 welcome to the Subaru Owners Club does this help at all? http://www.scribd.com/doc/55189352/kenwood-gx204- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algraysa Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi Steve Thanks for the info. Not sure if I can decipher that though. It is the same doc as my link above. Gonna have a look at it a bit later. Would be great if I can get someone who can say Pin 1 is power, Pin2 is earth, etc We keep on trying though.

mohemus Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi, The white Aux plug on mine has three wires coming from it. It doesn't look like they are in positions 1,2,3 though. If you take the white aux plug out of the radio, it operates normally, so the three wires could be the Audio in for the AUX. Just wondering how you got on.
