Hi,
Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".
I am assuming that by your post "...
the player worked fine..." refers to the unit operating as expected. To your concern:
- clock resets;
- dvd player light flashes on and off;
- missing ding driver's door open.
All of the above indicates a wiring error or at the very least a loose connection more particularly to the mains B+ (
always on). The always on B+12 is directly tied to the + battery terminal and as the name implies, with or without the key in the IGN SW, there is a +12. This always on B+12 is responsible for the clock to maintain its time, the memory of the headunit to retain presets tuner stations and all other settings. It is also responsible for providing the power to the "ding" circuitry and sensor. Pls re-check that the following wires are connected as indicated:
- Yellow (with the filter/fuse) - always on B+12
- Red - ACC +12 (ignition switch)
- Black - car body ground/negative
- Pink - Handbrake switch
- Green/White (if present) - reverse switch on the gearbox
- Brown (if present) - mobile phone in use mute trigger (if used)
- Blue - to power a motorized/amplified antenna (if needed)
- Blue/White - to power an external amplifier (if used)
Additionally, if I may inquire, year, make and model of the car it was installed in.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

- Hi,
For some reason, I did not
receive any notification that you posted back/commented. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
To your concern, pls confirm if the Jensen's below listed wires are connected to the Subarus' similarly listed wires:
Pls note that there are two (2) wiring versions for the Subaru presented (
and possibly several more)
depending on the country of assembly/manufacture. Additionally, may I
pls inquire if you used a harness/connector adapter, something similar
to
this? Further, with the use of a DVM, pls check the presence of:
- +12 on Yellow at any condition: IGN SW off or on, door open or closed, Jensen on or off; and
- switched +12 on the Red (that is when the IGN SW is
either at ACC or ON/RUN) at any condition: Idoor open or closed, Jensen
on or off.
Hope this be of additional help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Cheer.

- If I may add, there are some Subaru GL versions that uses White as the always on B+12 while Black as the IGN B+12. Both may be found in the ignition harness.
