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?

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.

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gauge located on the pillar rare genuine stamped sti item that's usually found on the jdm models and pretty pricey originally made by defi, thanks for the comment on the interior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

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

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

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
