just picked up my new toy 04 sti its great dam fast but the standard stereo whats that all about??
i know its a din 2 but does anyone know if there easy to change?
other than that so impressed with car after 3 months of looking got a fsh blue (only colour) with ppp pack and 18 pro drive wheels.

 

I bought my '05 STI last year with the double din 'cassette' player

I am young myself and cannot think of the last time I rewound my last cassette! That was one of the first things to go!

Luckily I had an all singing, all dancing Pioneer head unit in my last motor and swapped them over. I bought a single din 'pocket' from www.scoobyparts.com to fill in the gap

 

Hi yeah the plastic round the outside with the heater controls is held on by clips you just pull it forward then the stereo is held in by screwsyou can buy a pocket that fits underneath if you want convert it to a single din unit its worth a crack at

 

there fairly easy all you do is unclip the gear surrounds undo the two screws at the bottom of the centre trim and that just unclips the but be carefull with the top two clip on the trim now once that is removed you can get to the screws that hold the radio in and hey presto but be carefull the sat nav systems on ebay dont fit and you need to chop away at the centre console trim but it is worth it in the end

 

To be honest i only used the stereo for my daughter in the nearly 5 years of ownership. I loved listening to the car too much. Mind....it did make sweet music (aka bangs).

 

i know what you mean the noise and power is very addictive! came from civic type r to this the difference has shocked me! i used to think my type r accelerated quick!

 

I came from a Nissan S15 to my STI. The power was about the same but you just can't beat the distinctive subaru 'rumble'! Love it
