I too am interested in a single din replacement. I found a single din 3 gauge pod that could be fit in place of the cd player if the radio had a built in CD player. I was thinking of Alpine as I had an Alpine in my old Outback and it was a great radio/cd player. I have noticed that the reception on the stock radio is not so great. Stations I used to pull in with my old Alpine do not lock in on the stock radio.

I haven't researched radios in 13 years but, based on old experience, Alpine radios have great reception so they have my vote for now.

Check out the how-to on cleaning your SVX's antenna. It can make a world of difference.

What should it be cleaned with?

And does it matter what oil is used? Would WD-40 work well?

I remember reading in an old RF book that waxing antennas can help their reception. Maybe I should put a thin layer of collinite on the antenna? Or maybe that would gum it up.......
