WRX radio install

[dennyo]

Put the same radio in mine last year after the lights on mine crapped out. It's a snap and I prefer the larger knobs,dials. I used a dremel to cut the two holes in the back of the cover for clearance.You'd never know they are there.For some reason I don't remember buying an extension for the antenna. I think the adapter w/shipping was around $48.00

thanks everyone, I'll post an update when I get it installed in a few weeks, I'm going back home to California for Christmas.

I did the install today, took a little under 2 hours. I had to use a dremel tool and cut the metal flanges in the back of the dash, but otherwise everything was installed pretty easily. I'll be posting pictures of various stages of installation later, I have to find the camera cable lol.

Happy to report that everything works, and it sounds much better than the original radio, which, speaking of which, if anyone wants it....

want to thank everyone who pointed me in the right direction and gave me advice.

For future changeovers, the 03 Legacy GT 6 disc changer with WB fits perfectly without any changes to the door and has its controls higher up so that they are easy to get at without the door being in the way. The fonts and screen actually match the font of the car better then the original radio does.

Thanks, but the next step up I'm going to do is a full alpine system with usb and aux inputs, or maybe this...
