The instructions for the '01 are accurate for the '99. The '97 dash was different. Just follow those steps (you can skip the battery disconnect step IMO as...
The week before Christmas my 97 OBS was stolen right from my driveway. There was broken glass in the driveway. Today, they finally found my car. I'm cautiously...
I'm guessing they didn't know how easy it is to break in if they broke a window. I locked my key in my 97' OBS at the junkyard and all I needed was a stiff...
... We bought a 99 Outback from a couple, who had , had the car stolen from right outside the house in Spokane ,wa. The guy told me, the cops told him it...

One other note--compact new splices/connections pay off, as it can be tough to fold the new wiring in neatly. D. B. G. B. Traver Adolphus 47080RE Read my blog...
Hi all, Well, the mystery appears solved. When I went to where the car was discovered, the police had me try to start the car. With no battery, of course the...
I got an 02 OBS (automatic) with just under 60K 2 months ago but in the last 2 or 3 weeks I've started having trouble with lag in the transmission. Mainly it...
I've learned the first thing to try with Auto tranny problems is a transmission flush/filter change. My 97' has hesitating to drop in a gear during two...
We are assuming that you have checked the ATF fluid and the level is fine. The flush Levi recommends can't hurt, but I think the previous owner may have been...
My '99 gets 23mpg in a mostly highway in the city commute. Moderate rush hour. In a trip from Minnesota to Kansas I got 23 going down into the wind with 89...
Hey Levi, you out here? My boy with the 99 Outback (happy to not be driving his 1981, 240D, but I"m happy cause its in my garage) with automatic, called to...

Does anyone happen to know if the factory CD Player/Radio has any RCA outputs in the back. I doubt it. Just trying to find a better way to plug my iPod into...
