hi everyone,
had a quick look in this section couldn't find what I was after,
I understand that if I wanted to go double din, I will have to buy a fascia to suit but cbblol
Just wanted to know if there was an aftermarket single din head-unit that I can plug-n-play to replace the stock mcintosh system. or will I have to change the amps and all that other stuff...
I have 05 gt liberty.
thanks guys

If you want to replace the stock head unit you need to buy the aftermarket facia kit as you also need to replace the heater/aircon control unit ( this is included in the replacement facia kit )
I believe the stock h/u somehow integrates with this part so if you just went ahead and switched the h/u it would no longer work

No problems,
They do pop up here occasionally but you need to be quick, they dont last long

You also need to replace the stock 5channel amp under the passenger seat

Yeah mate , you'll need one of these (Make sure you get the right one for your model)
http://www.avojdm.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_54_60&products_id=123Then either do the wiring yourself or buy a harness. Luckily all that stuff was already done when i bought mine as it gets quite pricey because of the heater controls etc

I totally bought an old broken 'tosh radio and got some custom plastic CNC'd up and placed in the front, then made a new loom to go directly into the 'out' plug for the speakers

So if I removed the stock Mcintosh sytsem.
And try to seperate the head unit from the a/c controls, I wont be able to use the a/c because the system is integrated?
Sorry this just seems so dumb of Subaru. lols

Oh cool. So it doesnt afffect the a/c unit? I read somewhere that it is am integrated unit? So I can install double din system if I make my own double din fascia? Without having to buy the full kit from avojdm w hvac controls? Thanks for the help

Correct.
On the pre-fl Mcintosh it's seperate.
Post fl Mcintosh and all other stereos (kenwood etc) are all 1 piece.
