Should just be 4 pins of sorts in the wholes if the same as my old one. fairly easy to remove.

NickBes

Thanks steve but it doesnt have the 4 holes that most have, its screwed in from the sides.

I know I have to remove the front part of the dash with the a/c and heater controls and I know there are twp screws hidden behind the cup holder but im not sure if there are any more or if the front will just pull off.

I am sure I will work it out easy enough when I try it

This is the standard Subaru head unit that I have fitted but without the 4 holes that are circled in this photo.

Thats just unlucky. best leave it standard then.

Mrs spec'c'57

Hasn't it just got a different surrround arround the stereo which doesn't have the holes?
Does the surround not come off??

NickBes

I don't think so but I will have a look tonight when I get home from work

I'm being serious now.

I know by telling you this I am asking for trouble but would you believe that you look like you might be right!!

I had a quick look last night and after quite a bit of force as it was well attached the surround does come off and I think there might be the traditional 4 holes under it, it might just be a case of some pins after all I will let you know for sure after I fit the new one tonight!

How stupid do I feel now then

Well I may be blonde and a bit of a fool at times, but I have fitted a few stereo's in my time.. just seemed a bit odd that they made one stereo just for your car - hopefully you will remove it with out taking your dash board apart - as normally you will always have screws left after and it never is quite right again

If anyone is interested, I fitted the head unit on Friday night.

The old head unit did have the holes for the pins on the front but after a few tries I still could not get it to shift so 2 screws and 3 mins later half the dash was off and the old head unit was out

So I now play CD's and my iPod and not just the radio
