[Swapping out the sat nav - BP/BL Legacy]

 Idug']I struck this when I got my 05 3.0 Legacy a couple of years ago. Got told there should be a clock plug but I couldn't find it.., even had the stereo out to try and find it.I replaced the satnav with a cubby setup and opted for the "clock only clock" out of an 06 on facelift model.

I tapped into the satnav plug to do this but can't remember how I did it now. My research at the time suggested that if I was to get the tripmeter part working I would need to pull out the cluster and tap into that for it to work?.. which I decided not to do..

Yeah, I've had the whole stereo and sat nav both out as I was adding an FSL-01 Aux in (take out the TV tuner, and it actually screws right onto that bracket!), but can't see a clock plug anywhere I've already picked up a pre-facelift clock/trip meter for it, but did early facelift come with the same unit? If so, then guess I should be able to run just as clock if really needs be (would still REALLY like to get the trip working though).

There should be a white small square looking plug down behind the satnav, and above the stereo or behind. If not, the japanese may have used it when installing the satnav, however I have always found the clock plug when replacing the nav screens.

Any clue or more specifics on where? As the satnav was factory fitted, I'd assume the clock plug would be taped up somewhere rather than just hanging ready for use?

Hi, long time member (Previously had a BD RS for a short time), first time poster.

Recently picked up a 3.0R BP wagon fresh into the country, and ofcourse it's got the stupid Jap sat nav. Got hold of clock/trip computer, but pulling the satnav out, there's no sign of any plug for the clock?

Anyone else come across this, or got any info on what's required to retro fit? I've got the ashtray relocation and extension set-up (as I'm actually replacing the satnav with a Rasberry Pi based carPC), and looking at this post, I should be able to just tap into the Sat nav plug for most of the connections needed, but what about pins 2 and 5? I'm assuming these are the ones I'd actually need for the trip meter to work?

Help? lol
