I've got a MY93 WRX. the ICE unit is a Japanese unit with the different FM range. Also, the CD doesn't work - which is annoying when most of my sounds are on CD.

I'd like to replace the whole thing with a UK FM friendly unit. I also can't be bothered with boot CD changer stuff. I would like it to fit into the current space for the stereo. I'm also totally incompentent when it comes to anything remotely electrical, so I would need it fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. I also don't want to spend a shed load 'cos I'm a heathen when it come to ICE and don't care that much for sound quality/number of knobs/gadgets/features etc.

Anyone know of a cheap, easy, replacement for the sh*te I currently have?

Jerome.

If you want to save money you can always get an FM expander put in so that the radio will pick up al UK FM stations.

It should be fairly straightforward to swap the unit you have in there with a new one. What brand of system is currently in the car?

Most dealers will fit a head unit for you if you buy one off them (usually free too, it's not a complicated job). I think even Halfords were offering free fitting on anything over £150 or something (though they usually seem a bit pricey to me).

Even Argos offer free installation.

Go to a decent car hifi place and they won't damage the car or the system while putting it in. Plus they are usually cheaper and have a better range of systems that Argos, Halfords, etc.

Get urself down to Ian Bannings in the Riverside Business Park in Guildford, basically the red/grey buildings about 1/2 mile down the road the main entrance to Guildford station is on... they are used to scoobys and wont rip you off... they've done 3 cars for me already and are just starting my new one!..
