2000 GT Sedan stereo

What make/model is the stereo in my 2000 Legacy GT sedan? Is there an
online manual for it somewhere?

You can view the owner manual by signing up at www.my.subaru.com . I think
most of the stereos around that year were Panasonic or Clarion made to
Subaru specs. What do you need to know?

I need to know if there is an auxiliary input.

I know this is an older post, but if you're still seeking answers, here's a
response:

The quick answer is no, and yes. Basically, you've got no auxillary input
in either headphone or RCA jack style on that stereo. However, it does
support a CD player/changer, and if you don't have one already installed
there is a plug on the back, and that is *technically* an auxillary input.

Now for the speculation part: I have seen premade adapters on the 'net for
the OEM stereos of various cars that trick the factory stereo into thinking
that it's a CD player plugged in there and allow you to hook up some other
external source. And with Subarus, they've used both Panasonic and Clarion
made stereos in the past. Although I don't know specifically which one was
in your model year, it stands to reason that you would be able to hook up an
aftermarket Clarion or Panasonic CD changer if that was what you were
planning to do.

You can also do an FM modulated CD changer. I have used those before. They
plug into the antenna port on the stereo with a pass-through connection for
the antenna. Then you set the radio to a preset station like 89.1 to play
the CDs through. It works ok.

I thought about mentioning that too, as well as the stand-alone modulators
and the unsightly but effective cassette adapter. My brother has an FM-mod
CD changer in his Mercury Sable, thanks to that ridiculous "football" radio
that is integrated with the climate control. The sound isn't nearly as good
as a hard wired CD changer, but it works. A friend of mine used a stand
alone modulator but the output power must have been horrendous, because no
matter were we placed the unit we always heard tons of static.

My old jeep had so much road noise and rattles the quality didn't matter
much. I could hear a pin drop in my Subaru. I'll bet I would notice a big
difference now.
