I'm looking at getting a post 2000 Soob - I've my last car was a 1991 model L series.

Anyway, I have a very good and expensive Kenwood MP3 6 speaker stereo that I would like to install into my future soob. A couple of the model sobs I have looked have a console that incorpotates the climate control system, emergency lighting etc all in the one unit.

How would I got about installing the stereo without hacking up the whole console unit?

What does everyone else do when they are fed up with the factory CD player?

I think it's a bit of an oversight for Subaru to put the stereo into one whole console.

put it in the tissue pocket.. that is what people with fords do... cause we have the same delimma

Gen III Lib/Outback have a single or double DIN unit, easy as to change those over.

Gen IV's a abit harder, you need to buy a Replacement Facia kit/AV Panel set from japanparts.com (chepaer than a dealer here); http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist. ... 07-209-006, not very cheap thou.
You get a new centre console, A/C controls and thats about it.... You'll need to add a DIN pocket if you've got a single DIN player aswell.
