Pull the center dash rack 
out about 4 to 6 inches.  
Once you have done this, 
reach over to the right 
side and pull off the 
ground connector as 
shown in the picture on 
the right.  Continue to 
pull the rack out.  This 
step is why it is impor-
tant to put the car in a 
gear lower than park.  
You will find that if you 
do not, you won’t be able 
to pull the rack out.  The 
shifter will get in your 
way which is very an-
noying when your hands 
are busy with other 
things. 

Here is the stereo pulled 
out.  The box with the big 
yellow sticker on it is the 
airbag control box, leave it 
alone!  Now you can dis-
connect your current stereo 
and connect up your new 
one.  Below I have included 
the pin-out for the 14-pin 
connector standard in a Su-
baru.
