Went with the headunit out of my old car which is a JVC unit i got a couple of years ago that supports mp3/wma on SD cards (i can never be bothered to burn CDs so i just swap the mp3 contents onto the car via a memory reader).

Used the silver forester pocket to fill the gap underneath, looks excellent. Doesn't have to be expensive to change - headunits don't cost a bomb nowadays and the pocket is £12 from your local Subaru dealer

i just replaced mine with a nice pioneer with blue tooth, and fitted a forester storage thingy, all looks great and the stereo sound loads better, not that i have it on much, the flat 4 is a much better sound!!

i'm about to replace my headunit with a single Din one. Only a cheap one from halfauds that plays dvd's
Above you mentioned that you used a forester pocket to fill the gap. where did you get yours and will this work for me?

I should note that i already have a single din subaru head unit in-will this be ok to except a new single din head unit?

Sorry if these seem like stupid questions!!

Cheers

If you have a single din system in now, you will probably have either a standard Impreza/Generic (black hole) or Forester (silver flap) pocket to help fill the space left by the original double din unit. Either way, if it all fits fine at the moment you shouldn't need anything else.

You can get the Forester pocket from a Subaru dealer (may take a while though) or Roger Clark (I think). If you have a bugeye you may need to drill a few holes in the brackets for the Forester one, the Impreza one fits perfectly.
