Double DIN Legacy Upgrade
I have stuck this in the ICE Forum as well but thought you might want to have a look.
As you may know I have a had a few issues with my JDM Legacy with regards to the CD/Radio. Six disc is fab but no RDS or Name is a real pain. The Sat Nav/DVD/Info System touch screen is good for downtown Tokyo but not the valleys of Wales or for that matter Europe
The Legacy OE Radio/CD also runs the Air Con/Climate Control through the radio/CD unit. So to change them is a real pain .Sooooooooooooo.
Thankfully all is now well and I can confirm that I have now successfully upgraded the standard Legacy Radio/CD to a Kenwood DNX 7200
To do this I sourced a Subaru Upgrade Kit from www.japanparts.com , Enter number 107-209-006 in the Parts Number box.
There are three types, the Dual Zone, Single Zone and A/C.
You need the A/C for early 03 + models. Later Models require the black facia kits ( I know I ordered one and it’s wrong unless you have an 06 + Leggy).
The kit comes with all the brackets and a Dual Antenne Cable if you need it.
This is the picture of the later kit. If anyone is interested it’s for sale if you have the later Legacy model. PM me for details but to get them here costs £178 with VAT and delivery. All the Parts are OE Subaru and Kenwood but both deny all knowledge in the UK. To upgrade to the UK Subaru Sat Nav costs £2300 from the Dealer
Also available is a JDM 6 Disc CD/Radio or a nearly new UK Spec Single Disc CD/Radio.
All in the install cost £820 with the Adaptor panel and the DNX 7200 with iPod adaptor (hidden in the glove box).

Looks a right pain to do but glad you got it sorted in the end 
It was either that or you took to learning Japanese
