lesdrake105 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Greetings Legacy fans! I've just bought a 2nd-hand 08 Legacy and the audio system doesn't work properly. I can't get past 'Security' for any length of time. I have disconnected the system -at the battery- and that worked for about 20 minutes and the system then reverted to the impenetrable. The manual doesn't seem to have anything about it. Any ideas? I had a Subaru in America and it was terrific. I hope to get this niggle sorted soon.

Gambit Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C. Is it asking for a security code to be entered ? or just turning off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome aboard, if it's asking for a code you can usually get it from a main dealer, you just need your ID and log book, there's usually a small charge but cheaper than a new unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogma1 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 this may help http://bbs.scoobynet.com/wales-26/676820-double-din-legacy-upgrade.html but I would look at getting code if it is that or it will cost mega bucks..... some places have been taking about it linked to ecu OMG. does not look that easy to change to after market does yours have auto aircon.http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-dual-hvac-double-din-jdm-kit-thread-113589.html?t=113589 here is another how to.

Miggs Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 yeh, me and dogma are just discussing this now, i've had a few VW's that have various parts in the car coded into the immobiliser system, if the radio has been used from another forester then this could be the issue, the car will still work as normal but the part that doesn't belong in that loop won't work as it could be stolen so the car has rendered it immobile, some dealers will code it in for you some won't, could be the issue you have, not sure if subie's have the same setup but it's a possibility, it's on VW's after 2001 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Heard this before to be fair I think the dealer did it in the end after they went through eBay to prove the car was broken for parts :( that was with a Foca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
