Legacy - upgrading stereo

[Rumbledriftspin]

Hi All.

I've got an 06 Legacy RE with a single CD player. Being of a certain vintage a lot of my music is on CD so I was thinking of upgrading the stereo to the 6 CD player fitted to the REn spec car or perhaps going aftermarket for a more modern unit with better functionality. I understand REn models also have stereo controls on the steering wheel.

Could anyone advise me if upgrading for better Legacy stereo unit will be a simple matter of plug and play, including swapping the steering wheel, or is it a lot more complicated than that?

Alternatively, could someone recommend a suitable modern stereo for these cars?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply - I'll see what used spares stereos are available.

Hopefully any reputable ICE fitters could do the swap.

Thanks all.

Having looked in a bit more detail it's a shame that the stereo appears to be integrated with the climate control so there could be redundant buttons when up speccing.
