    Hey guys, name is Nick and I am new to board. Just bought a 2008 Impreza. This is my first Subaru. Last 12 years I have been in the VW camp. Well anyway, the car did not come with an MP3 jack. Does anyone have a kit that they recommend that is tied into the factory head unit?

    Thanks,
    Nick

    ^^^ Jazzy kit is for 02-06, not 08.

    You have a CD/aux button on your headunit, correct? It just doesn't switch to aux?
    There is an 8-pin port on the back that has the aux-in. Subaru sells a kit for ~$60 that plugs into that. H6210FG000

    If you can find some connectors to fit onto those little pins, you can make your own for a couple bucks. (only 4 pins are used)

    Otherwise there may be a couple guys on nasioc who sell home-made cables with the correct 8-pin harness.

    If you want full iPod integration with the headunit, Subaru sells a module for that too. H621SSC201
    Can be found used on NASIOC for ~$100
