Why are you seeking this information?

i got the stereo controls and have had then installed ,my model did not come with them ,should have been a case of plug and play ,but that is not the case, spoke to subaru parts which have asked if i could find a car that has that set up factory fitted so they can see which wiring and harness it has
otherwise ive got a good looking steering wheel that does not work
can you help

Mine's an MY05 so it's probably different since they seemed to have changed the mac hu in 07.

I can have a look at mine later today when I get back home... hope I remember.

Hmm, is it a 6 disc stacker? Didn't know that...

yep, ill try but its starting to look like an expensive mod just to turn up the sound from the steering wheel , there has to be a simple solution to it ?????? just got to find the right person
the thing that i dont understand is that so many guys from this forum just plugged it in and it worked ,so what the f@#k is so different with my car
it really shits me when you do so much research about something and it does not work!!!!!
