Wrx Double Din Facia Adaptor?

[scoob fae ork]

Hi guys my brother has just bought my dads 2001 WRX and he was wondering what he needs to convert the stereo from a double din to a single din head unit any help welcome

Simple job all you need is a single din head unit and one of the Forrester pockets. Get the pockets from the dealer. There are 3 pocket types a black one which has no hinged door and is just a pocket type affair, then there are the two silver forrester flap style pockets one has a hinged door which is the full width of the pocket and the other has a fixed bit about 1cm wide at one end and the rest is the hinged door.

The pocket and single din unit mount pretty much on top of each other held together with the brackets and cage etc from the double din unit just removed. Depends what head unit you buy but you may also need a iso convertor lead which you can get from halfrauds for about £15.

There are some ptetty good guides on scoobynet in the ice section that show how to remove all the trim and how to mount the single din head unit and pocket.

I have listed the part numbers below but the prices may be out of date but are unlikely to have changed much. The head units fitted to the new age cars are pants. I changed all the speakers, fitted bigger components in the front and larger rears in the doors and fitted a single din head unit as well as a bit of dyno matting on the doors and it transformed the sound. Hope that helps.

Couple of links below but cant find the link which shows the head unit removal and how to mount the single din head unit and forester pocket but it is over on scoobynet in the ice section somewhere.
