Are you planning to replace your SVX's factory radio with a new, after-market one?

This wiring adapter will make your installation MUCH easier.  Simply solder or crimp the wires to your new receiver's wires, and plug in to the radio connector in your SVX.

If you've looked into replacing the SVX radio, you may have discovered that nobody makes a wiring harness that fits the SVX.  Even worse, at least one of the harness manufacturers listed a part for the SVX in their catalog that does not fit!  Up until now, the only solution was to "hard-wire" a new receiver into the SVX -- either cutting off the factory plug or splicing into the factory wiring.

After considerable research, I have put together a solution that does fit.  My adaptor is identical to what the harness manufacturers would have made had it been worth their while (if the SVX had been produced in larger numbers).  It has the same EIA-standard color-coded wires with text labels (for example, "Left Front Speaker +"), with pre-stripped ends, ready for you to crimp or solder to the harness that comes with your new radio.  There are 15 wires:

  • Four speakers (8 wires)
  • Ground
  • +12 Volt Accessory (switched)
  • +12 Volt Memory (always-on)
  • Motorized-antenna control
  • Illumination ("Illumination +")
  • Dimmer ("Illumination -")
  • Dimmer 2 ("Night Illumination Dimness Cancellation") NEW

Installing a head unit from a WRX or other late-model Subaru in your SVX to keep that "stock" look?  Then you'll also want this WRX reverse harness.  Order at the same time to receive a $1 discount, plus save on shipping.

Please note:  Because stereo installers have been cutting the factory radio connectors out of SVXs, you may want to check to be sure your SVX's radio connector is still intact (especially if your SVX already has an after-market radio, or has a stock radio that doesn't work).  See this guide which details how to remove your radio...
