Just a bit of an update on this thread, I finally replaced the head unit with one of those new ATOTO android units for £219 (highly recommended!!!). Next step, speaker upgrade. Anyone know where I can buy some speaker adapter rings / spacers for the front and rear? I've seen some on ebay for £16.99 but they are in Germany and I'd like to fit the speakers this weekend!

Thanks for the response Peejay. Now that I've actually got my hands on the unit, I can get a bit more info about it. Its a Pioneer Carrozzeria AVIC-HRZ900. The entire system is in Japanese, yet the buttons on the front are all in English. There is an image of the unit here. I've had a quick search around but can't find anything much in English. I've gone as far as Google translating photos I took of each menu option, but I fear language is not there. Just seems a bit weird that the buttons on the front are 100% english! I wonder if Pioneer do a similar disk to the one you described above?

Yes, Face lift :-)

Interesting. I was under the impression that all I needed to do was to get my hands on a oem UK forester sat nav and that would go right in... but I think you are right. I havent seen any others with this. I'll have to learn Japanese!

Does anybody know? I'm not very good with these things...

Thanks. I'll post some pics once I actually pick it up!

Just got my hands on a lovely looking import and will no doubt have lots of questions over the coming weeks and months, and what better place to ask than here :-D Its a 2005 FSTI SG9 EJ25 and comes with a japanese head unit with Sat Nav (see attached pic). Can this be replaced with pretty much any double din UK head unit (such as this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NAVISKAUTO-Touchscreen-Quad-Core-Bluetooth-Mirrorlink/dp/B01CGA5DIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473179016&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=double+din+sat+nav+android&psc=1 ) Or does it have to be a replacement OEM UK Forester head unit? Thank you in advance for your help!

Just a quick hello. After 15 years of importing Honda's & Mazda's, I finally purchased something more sensible... a Forester STI JDM. Collecting this weekend. I have a few questions, but I'll post that in the appropriate forum section. Happy Days.
