my03

Hi all, Here comes my short introduction 🙂 My name is Daniel and i'm typing this from Stockholm, Sweden where i reside. My nickname comes from the STI that i had and loved (model year 2003) but had to get rid of (see below ;)). STI will always be close to my heart. I have been a Subaru owner since over 20 years with various cars under my "belt". I started with an old, used, Legacy (1998), then bought the Impreza GT (wrx) my2000 brand new from the dealer (made a few modifications to this such as sports cat, remap, etc), a few years after that, i got myself an STI 2003 (also from a dealer) and had that for a few years until my first kid was born. As the baby carrier did not fit the boot ( 😪 ) i sold it and in 2005 i bought the Legacy that i still have (which atm has 12500 km on the odometer). I wanted to register and follow the discussions here as i know that there is quite a vivid community in the UK for all kind of Subaru. Take care br Daniel

Hi, I recently got this issue with my car (Legacy wagon 2.5i 2005) where the right illumination around the stereo unit stopped working. Before that happened, i installed an Android head unit (i went from just having the shelf with the lid installed in the car). It worked nicely for a while, but suddenly it want black. The odd thing is that the instrument cluster still works, as does the dome-lights, the radio (incl. display), glove compartment light, etc (so only the stereo surrounding light). I've googled it and got to know that there are supposedly two fuses that might be involved here (#16 in the driver compartment fuse-box & #8 in the engine compartment fuse box). I have replaced both of them to no avail. What else should i investigate? Could it be the actual "bulbs" that have ceased to work? is that common? br Dan
