Just for the archives :o)

I had all manner of trouble installing my Audiovox CCS-100. Well, no, that's not exactly right, Keith Hughes' pictures helped there a lot - I had all manner of trouble getting it to _work_.

The automatic gearbox is the thing - the engine is mostly irrelevant (I have a Tiico, for example). With the auto, you need to use a vehicle speed sensor. If the Subaru has one of these (I believe it does), then you need to plug into that. Without one, or to avoid using it, use the magnetic VSS kit that comes with the Audiovox. You need to set it up as a _front_ wheel drive, ie 2 magnets on the drive shaft. I then used the following switch settings:

1 - off 2 - off 3 - on 4 - off 5 - on 6 - off 7 - on

Works just fine now, as long as I don't turn it on before the thing's in 3rd gear (the gear change will disengage it as the revs drop off).
