2005-2009 Subaru Legacy Cheap Radio Adapter

thingiverse

This is a radio adapter for a 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy. For the Legacy GT model, the HVAC is combined into the radio unit which makes simple fascia adapters non-viable and the only option to fit a double din radio is to purchase a $300 JDM kit that separates the HVAC from the radio. With a new Chinese fascia meant for tablets (available here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001039088367.html) and my adapter plate, you can install a double din radio into your subaru legacy where the top vent/cubby is. This is an early version, so it may require a little modification for your needs. Check out my development thread on LegacyGT.com for source files. Thread is here: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/new-radio-solution-mainlandi-283341.html Edit: I have updated the fitment, as well as included brackets for mounting the radio in the dash. If you have a deep radio, you will need to cut a section out for your plugs and so the radio can slide back in deep enough. Depending on your original cubby, you may also need the vent tab adapters. These will attach to the factory vent tubes and move the position of the slider so the fins move without binding or losing position as expected. The vent tubes must be cut where the original vertical movement fins were to make space for the new fascia's vertical fins. Since the clock was attached to the original cubby, you will need to relocate it to the shifter area. I have another part made for that - see my maker page. Edit: Updated all the STLs to the final versions I've been using with near-perfect fitment. You will likely need to at least modify x-y-z scales to account for any shrinkage/expansion. There should be two brackets and two vent adapters. The right radio bracket (which you will need to mirror in the slicer, same for vent adapter) will need part of it broken off to fit against the edge of the plastic structure in the dash. This will be along the layer lines and will help the vent tubes fit.
