either do a search or have a flick through the ICE section FAQ as this is a frequent request (so easy, don't panic)

Takes no more than 20 minutes, brackets on the double DIN have mounting holes the same as 95% of aftermarket headunits.
You can allways fill the spare single DIN up with one of our data monitors, we also have Kenwood headunits in stock.
If you visit us in Gloucestershire, we will fit it for free.

Done mine last week, replaced with a Pioneer DEH6800 & the pocket from a Sport/GX Impreza. As said above only takes about 20 minutes, bracket from double din unit fitted new head unit AND fitted the pocket also...Very pleased wit the fit & improvement in sound quality, will add a sub next

Personally I still prefer the double DIN:

Can I ask how u got the silver flap pocket thing to fit in the brackets ?? I`ve got a new Alpine mounted at the top but there`s no where to attach the flip pocket to securely & there seems to be a big gap inbetween the head unit & pocket when I attempted to line it up with the screw holes in the bracket!!
Even tried locating the pins on the pocket with the bracket holes but then there`s no where to secure it with screws towards the front !!

Must be doing something wrong so any advice much appreciated !!

Yep, you're not checking the FAQ - there's details there about how to do it.

FAQ has this link:

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...27#post4676827

Which gives this info:

"...Subaru pocket with flap (part 66128SA000)..."
