What year model is your car

 

Sorry forgot to add it's a, 55plate wrx blobeye

 

I think most double din are same size buddy it's just screens are different think you should be ok

 

Will need cutting for a nice flush fit mate

 

No cutting required standard double din as my pioneer is mate here's a pic hope it helps

 

Yea just as I thought there mostly all standard size

 

The new 2015 range are slightly bigger trust me I know.

I had the same unit as zany which fitted perfect, the new 2015 range don't fit

 

Bigger in what way ? The double din hole in the hatchback is slightly wider than the privious models and I was wondering if the 2015 range was a better fit ? As iv had to use a adapter to make my hole slightly smaller

 

What double din is that you have bud would rather play it safe on something I know will fit perfect & do the buttons have the ability to illuminate green? Also is your surround all carbon dipped & how much did it cost ya?

Cheers

 

Hi I had all my bits dipped including switches and speedo surround £250 off a lad in Darwin does a superb job as for the stereo the one you've seen will fit 100% bugeye up to hawkeye then after as said before they change stereo shape but you can buy the adapting facia plate as the standard stereo fitting is slightly wider, tha avh series stereo in mine is the older version to what you've chosen and yes the colour does go green as I've done mine

 

Do you have the model name of the Headunit I'm not too bothered about it being the older model etc.

 

It's the avh x2500bt mate

 

Loads of features I think the avh x3500bt has taken over it though

 

Domino there only a few millimetres bigger enough so it won't go through the facia

 

Zany that centre console looks mint, am looking at getting an impreza at some point so just researching possible ice/nav etc but noticed the box located on driver's side attached to centre console, what is it ? have seen this on a few cars, sorry if its a daft question, am new to all this Jap stuff, always had German cars before

 

Hi fitz that's the controller for the boost gauge located on the pillar rare genuine stamped sti item that's usually found on the jdm models and pretty pricey originally made by defi, thanks for the comment on the interior
If we don't ask we don't learn knowledge is priceless

 

Sorry I mention the boost gauge is mounted on the piller

 

nice one cheers Zany, been looking at getting a jdm impreza from Hurst's car sales and noticed it on that but no boost gauge unless its hidden under the dash isn't on the pillars or on dash that I can see, but thanks again, am asking many various questions at moment, but some basic stuff like heated mirrors on jdm car retro fit, fog light in cluster retro fit, and then cruise control...............forget it !!!

cheers Paul

 

No worries anytime and the boost gauge you should see it job no point under dash!!!! Lol pm me anytime if I can help I'll be more than happy to

 

I know what you mean about not being able to see the gauge would be stupid to have it low in the footwell probably has been removed or something but left the controller

cheers mate

 

I have fitted AVH-X5700DAB in my blob, no cutting was required

My gf has AVH-X3700DAB in her bug, unfortunately her surround was already trimmed when she bought it. But there is enough gap for stereo to fit

 

Looking mint mate fancy a silver hazard switch off mine as I'm putting a jdm one on mine? Pm me mine should be arriving today
