FAQ has details of the forester pocket/flap thing you can use to block up the lower half of the double DIN hole, if that's any help.

These match the dash and have a push flap on the front to blend in.
To fit them the original stereo mounting bracket usually have to be drilled with 2 holes on each side.

As mentioned above there is a bit of info in the FAQ's.

I followed Ru's guides in the FAQs, hunted around the net for a bit and asked a few local Car Audio shops for advice. After that I managed to do this in my MY04...





... very easy to do, but take your time.
