StarLink Retention: The CRUX SWRSU-38D retains Subaru's factory installed StarLink safety & security system.
Factory Amplifier: The CRUX SWRSU-38D will retain your vehicle's factory installed Harman Kardon amplifier with left/right balance control.
Steering Wheel Controls: The CRUX SWRSU-38D will retain your vehicle's factory steering wheel controls. The SWRSU-38D features a steering wheel control output for Alpine, Blaupunkt, Boss, Clarion, Dual, Jensen, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Sony aftermarket head units. The steering wheel control output consists of a right-angle 3.5mm connector and a light blue/yellow wire (use the connection that your aftermarket head unit is outfitted with). The SWRSU-38D interface module's dip-switches will need to be configured to work with your compatible aftermarket radio (see owner's manual for appropriate setting).
- Your vehicle's steering wheel phone pick up and hang up buttons will be reversed when installing the SWRSU-38D.
Backup Camera with Reverse Wire: The SWRSU-38D will retain your Subaru vehicle's factory installed backup camera through the use of your new aftermarket stereo's composite video camera input. The included wiring harness features a male composite video RCA connector that plugs into your aftermarket radio's composite video camera input. Your aftermarket radio must be equipped with a composite video camera input and built-in video screen. The included harness also has a reverse wire (purple/white) that connects to the reverse wire of your aftermarket radio's harness for automatic rearview switching when your vehicle is put into reverse gear.
Retained Aux Input: The SWRSU-38D will retain your Subaru vehicle's factory Aux input using your new aftermarket stereo's rear-panel Aux input. The included wiring harness is equipped with a set of male stereo RCA jacks that plug into your aftermarket radio's rear-panel Aux input jacks. If your aftermarket head unit features a 3.5mm Aux input, you'll need a stereo minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately).
