Has anyone installed a single DIN radio in the cubby over the radio to get around the bluetooth/ipod connection issue?

I've run across a solution to this on a Legacy board I believe. There is a Subaru Japan part you can order that replaces the whole auto control assembly with a single din space plus auto control. It's expensive (read 3-400), a different color, and the controls are reversed since it's for a RHD vehicle. If that's what you want to do though, it's really your only plug and play option.
