I have a 2008 Subaru Forester. Is this radio/CD player simply "plug-in and play," or will there need to be wiring?

you should need to buy a radio wiring harness adapter; or you can cut and splice your wires together with the radios. I would buy the wiring harness adapter the company I used was Metra I attached a link to their site you can buy the product on amazon..http://www.metraonline.com/vfg

You will either need to buy a harness that connects to the JVC on one end and the Subaru on the other end or you will need to cut off both connectors and splice each wire together. If you don't have the harness then I'd recommend having a professional install it.

You should find a stereo wiring harness for a subaru forester. This harness will plug right into the adapter in your car. You will then take the leads from the harness and connect them to the leads on this JVC harness. It is relatively simple. At minimum you may need something to strip the ends of the leads and some electrical tape.

We bought an install kit and a little soldering and you are good to go. Hope this helps!

I bought this one for a Honda Civic and yes there was a kit and a wire needed.

We put one on a 2014 Outback. The outback has a wiring plug under the driver rear wheel well. This wiring harness plugs into the factory plug for east install. Check with dealer or look under wheel well for factory plug. I believe the Forester has one.

Hi Riqui, The unit does not include all the wiring. You may use adapters depending on your car connection needs. -Anthony

On the plug and play installation, its just plug and play. Some vehicles may require a relay which gets connected to the Battery.

You will need to search for install kits per the vehicle you are installing in. I would go to a local stereo shop and ask what kit you will need to install the radio .

I have seen reviews of it being install on to the harley bagger stereo, but not too sure if it is plug and play. Please research before you purchase the item, thank you.

I installed this on my Subaru Forester XT and it plugged into the factory harness...it is a tight fit but you can install it with no cutting or splicing

Not sure yet, the information that I have seen said the Tyso is plug and play(you only need the keys to get the radio out). I will know for sure in a few weeks. I will let you know.

The one I got was. Just unscrew the old one, disconnect the wiring harness, and put this one in. Plug and play.

Yes. I installed this in my 2002 forester last year along with a single din stereo.

All radios are easy to install once your remove yours! You jet the wiring harness for your vehicle and connect to the radio harness. That's pretty much it.

Like most any head unit, this model comes with an adapter to be wired to your car. The harness has wires for all 4 speakers, a remote turn on wire, a dimmer circuit, both power wires and a ground. For most car installs, you should still use a specific adapter (not included) to adopt the included harness to a plug style for your specific car. Some new cars even need specific adapters for emulating some or all of these inputs/outputs.

You'll need the adapter to match your car's harness unless you want cut and hack your harness. You may have to mod mounts/bracket depending on your car. You will need the double din mounting kit including front plate cover. You do know this unit does not have a built in cd/did player right?

Wire plug-in and I wouldn't recommend buying this. The CD player broke in less than a year.

All plug n play... you will need a wiring adapter for the fog lights though.

With my 2001 vw factory radio the only thing you have to do is unplug cd cable on the back of the radio (blue connector) and plug the aux input in instead (as well blue color). Very simple! Good luck
