Replace Subaru Legacy 1999 Clarion PF-1509A stereo

Decided to replace the tape player in our Subaru with a CD player thinking this would be an easy job! Ahh well fitting the stereo into the mounting was actually easier than I thought, the Sony had screw hole that matched the mountings.

The problem arose when i came to wire it, all the sites on the internet giving the wiring for a Subaru Legacy 1999 did not match what I had. Eventually I found the socket wiring for a Clarion PF-1509A and using that I worked out the wiring. So here it is if you have come across this blog and are doing something similar here is the wiring!

Battery - Red/Blue

Rear Speaker Left+ - White/Red

Rear Speaker Left- - Red/Black

Rear Speaker Right+ - Blue/Yellow

Rear Speaker Right- - Red/White

GND - Black

Switched Power - Yellow/Green

Front Speaker Left+ - Brown/White

Front Speaker Left- - Green

Front Speaker Right+ - Red/Yellow

Front Speaker Right- - Black/White

iLL+ (external device) - White/Yellow [didn't need this and isn't connected to anything]

iLL- (external device) - Yellow/Green [didn't need this and isn't connected to anything]

So the finished stereo is now wired in and working great!
