Car Radio Help

[eZ_Harry]

Hello,

I am looking into putting a new radio in my 2002 Impreza mainly due to it not being tuned for NZ aswell as not having an AUX port. I am hoping to get a cheap one and have found one which looks like it would do on Aliexpress, however I have some concerns as to whether it will be compatible with my car. If it is compatible would I need a mount/bracket and where is a good place to get a wiring harness? Any help appreciated, Thanks!

Why not wait for a special at supercheap/repco?

That doesnt seem to have free shipping so at a guess youd be looking at maybe $80 landed?

Would be better to go for a named brand with local warranty for around the same price.

My pioneer mechless only cost me that much six months ago and that has aus and front usb.

All up I wouldn't bother with a off brand stereo, even the 'named' cheap brands like american HiFi and clarion ypou get at places like the warehouse.

If you want a cheap stereo wait for some sales or something and you end up getting a good deal, check your local Repco and see oif they have any comparitor or soundboard stock. I believe the stores have just swapped put the JVC display units for the new 2015 units so the old 2014 ones are cheap

Wiring wise as long as you have a standard single din stereo (same shape as what you posted) then you shouldn't need any brackets.

If the car still has its original wiring you have two options. Either you cut off the connector and wire in the connector that comes with new stereo, or get harness adaptors. You need two and they retail about 18dollars each
