I've tried a couple of devices (phone, iPod, etc.), and adjusted the volume on everything to try and pick something up. The radio still works great, however when I plug into the jack I get silence. Well, I went through this closely and something is wrong. Anyway, thanks again - I've been missing two things since I bought my Outback 6 years ago: AUX jack and 6th speed and now I am down to one! :-) Reply Delete Maybe I'll just glue it in when/if that happens. I think the only weak link is the headphone jack itself - it seems to hold fine for now but I wonder if it's going to come loose over time due to various road vibrations. That allowed me to solder all five wires from the front side I also used electrical tape and hot glue on the board and at the end I just had one shielded wire coming out of my radio. I was able to cut the two legs on radio module rather low then I cleared the holes on PCB with solder sucker and soldered new "extension" legs (made from a diode I had laying around) so that they're sticking out on the front side of the board. Per suggestion above, I bought 5 strand shielded wire here (). Thanks a lot for sharing, I've completed this today on my 2006 Outback XT 5spd/6CD changer and everything works great. If you don't mind soldering small things on a circuit board, don't want to spend much and would rather not have a CD spinning when you listen to your iPod, read on! A CD that plays silence is needed for the JazzyMT aux input board. If you have a functioning CD player and don't want to solder anything I would recommend the JazzyMT mod which you plug in to the ribbon that connects the CD player to the mainboard. The CD player had previously stopped reading/ejecting discs so if I could not do this mod I would be be listening to static filled radio the entire trip. I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time on the road for an upcoming vacation and wanted to be able to plug in my own audio without spending a lot of money on a replacement faceplate and new head unit. I believe that the 20 Legacy and Outback had the same stereo, so this mod should work for them as well. Manufactured June 2004 by Matsushita in Japan Single CD (no 6CD changer) Manual Climate Control
