japanparts or avo can do them. Check that it suits your AC - single or dual zone, different AC controller. Kit should come with aerial adapter, as Suby dont use std ones.
You will need an Aerpro harness adapter. Get the latest HU you can afford - DVD capable, ipod, aux in, gps etc.

If you don't have the cash for a new HU yet, be patient.. Email PHAT what you want, tell him the colour and whether you have dual zone, single zone AC and he will get you what you need

How much would one of these kits cost (approx) from someone like Phat?

Cheers

He will quote you an accurate figure, but if you look at avojdm or japanparts it will be cheaper than that including freight ;)

Well what exactly do you want to change..?
I wouldn't go as far as saying you have to change the whole car. The main issues are you need a headunit double din fascia to fit an aftermarket headunit (~$400) and the stock headunit runs an amplifier under the passenger seat which makes it a little more difficult to 'plug and play' your new aftermarket headunit, compared to other cars..

Both these issues aren't overly hard to overcome to be honest..

well ideally id like to keep the stock stereo system with my a/m headunit, whats involved in running the stock amplifier off a new headunit?

In a nutshell: it's not simple, definitely not plug and play. And for what it's worth, you might aswell upgrade the amplifier while you're at it.

If you're happy with the way the stock stereo sounds i'd be more inclinded to invest in a good aux input, will be a hell of alot cheaper than new headunit+ fascia+ wiring in stock amp to new headunit.
