Does anyone know the make and model of the standard headunit installed in the MY03 STI UK?

I am looking at getting a connector for the ipod, that I will hopefully then be able to change it's configuration if I change headunits or car.

Its a rebadged Kenwood unit. Not sure of the model number though.

A Kenwood GX-608EF2B was fitted in my MY2003 Outback.

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone confirm the model number, surely someone must have one of these in their garage after swapping it for something more meaty???

Thanks in advance

The pile of poo removed from my 2003 WRX is a Kenwood GX-401EF2, guess it would be same in a STI.

Thanks for looking guys. Dipster must be using his as a foot stool

Probably the best use for it. Mine's in a cupboard.

Mine's being used as an unattractive paper weight.

Yep Kenwood stool

I have presumably the same junk in my my05 wrx - it's a company car so I can't change much.

Any luck finding an iPod interface?

I've bought an FM modulator thing, and I'm currently looking to buy a 20gb mp3 player. If there's a decent iPod interface (i.e. one which uses the headunit's cd changer interface) then I'll get an iPod.

If I can't get a decent interface I'll get another player (I'll think different...)

(edit - I've emailed Dension)

i have an ice>link in my sti 2002 with the Kenwood unit above with a brodit mount holding it all neating in place to the left of the head unit.

the icelink just plugs into the cd changer port on the back of the head unit and gives me access to all my music whereever i am even though the sound is limited by the plasticcy speakers in the scoob

a link to it is: http://www.essentialipod.co.uk/product.php?xProd=44

ps - I am the owner of that website - i hope that is okay to post

If you want to run an iPod it well worth junking the ****e headunit and going fo one of the Alpine units that offers full iPod control.

I've just made the mod in my '04 Wagon and would definitely recommend it.

would have to agree with the head unit ditching really as the standard is really not that good. but then again I struggle to hear much over my Firestorm
