Howdy all, I'm used to having an MP3-CD player in my car and my 05 Liberty 2.5i Wagon has the standard CD player with no AUX input or anything of the like.

I've noticed it's not a single or double DIN stereo, it's a one piece console that includes the stereo and climate control features all in one.

What are the options for aftermarket stereos for this type of set-up? am I stuck with what I've got or can I get a later model set up with adapts to the switchgear in the console at the moment etc.?

I'm in Adelaide and am willing to drive/pay for a job well done if that's what it takes.

So far it's my only sore point with the car.

Thanks for any help or advice that can be offered.

Do some searching through the audio thread. There are a few options available.

New fascia kit for the installation of new head units.
Hook up a processor to the OEM HU

I was in the same boat - go figure, an 05 car with tape deck & no aux in!!

As Garbo said, you can get a new fascia kit that separates the stock stereo from the HVAC. It's not cheap though, you're looking at around $400 for that alone. That will allow you to install any aftermarket HU. I know some guys have hacked the CD changer input to make it an aux in for iPods..

Search is your best friend mate!

I browsed the forum a fair bit in the Cosmetics area looking for info, I guess I'll use the search feature and dig a little deeper.

Thanks guys

What's your budget?

My cousin has a 03 STI and he upgraded this stereo to a DVD/MP3 touch screen set up. I do like the functionality of the touch screen and iPod connectivity but because I'm relatively conservative, I want the stock look.

Whats your preference?
