Hello!
My wife and I own a 2018 Subaru Legacy 2.5i
We had an issue with the Apple CarPlay radio model Gen 3 Mid BC7 With P/N 86431AL65A
The screen was delaminating on the top right of the screen and even began to not work and go wonky! We found out (unfortunately) too late that there was a recall for this issue regarding Harmon Kardon. Checking into a replacement was going to cost almost $1,800 for just the radio! So we did some research to find another either refurbished or one through LKQ. We found one in perfect condition but when it arrived the P/N was slightly different?
It is 86471AL66A and P/N Gen 3 High BC7
We went to Subaru website and this radio (is the navigation version of what we had) had same plug’s going into the radio except one spot that was just for a separate WiFi signal for the navigation system.
The radio is work but not completely. We have a WiFi plug (on back order ) but wondering if a wiring harness I picked up from a Subaru dealer will clear up this issue before i go through taking the radio back out? I was thinking that the wires may have a different configuration that may be the reason it’s not fully working properly
Sorry for the long post but not sure how else to explain my dilemma Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
