Pretty much, when it turns on it shows something in Japanese, and doesn't show any of the satnav stuff (not that it was useful anyway). It will still show the aircon settings however.
Yea, probs is. I didn't previous to this install, but my mate helping me said he wouldn't do it if I didn't disconnect it. And it make sense. You're working with 12v that could give you a nasty jolt or worse, fry something else in your car if you short it. In saying that I still blew 5 fuses (the same one) doing the install

Apparently there are some Legacy B4 models that come with the mcintosh stereos that are amplified as well. Does any one know what versions they are and what the stereo/amp specs are?
I'd say yes. Have a look under the drivers seat. If there's an amp there, then yes it is. You can use that amp, but it requires line outs from your headunit (RCAs). In my install we removed the factory amp, ran the speaker wires from behind the dash to under the drivers seat then connect with the factory speaker loom that ran to the doors.
Where are you located?
