As Joshua said, plenty of options, including a CD head unit out of a Soarer, a stacker system out of a Soarer, or any after market system.
Contact Mark Paddick for the best help going on stereos.

Sean, how about some pictures of the car mate?
By the way, when you take out the stock TT head unit, you will be left with a 2.5 din space so you gotta find something that'll fill in the rest of the gaps. Most people have installed a single din head unit and filled in the gap with a Mazda 1.5 din pocket.

Sean, please get with the program.

Use your keyboard properly. No SMS speak and try to punctuate properly. Capital letters where appropriate for starters.

First and only warning.

Sean, I currently have a 1.5 din pocket from Mazda filling up my gap. I'm also planning on doing a custom gauge cluster, but for now the pocket will do. It only cost me $25 anyway.
Come on mate, show us your car :-)

My ride.
http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/45853/52915.html?1142509143

The car is going very well, Im having no problems at all, its such a well built car.

Once i sort out the cassette player and a couple of other things all will be good for the time being.

Peter: i will in future use my keyboard properly, i was in a hurry when i last posted and im also sorry for my education prohibiting the correct use of punctuation.

I found the 2.5 factor out the hard way. Bought a double din filler box CD holder, and woe and behold, got left with a dirty great gap. Going to remove it and fill the hole with a pair of gauges instead.

i was thinking of putting in a gauge or two in the hole but i also found at nifty little din hole filler from my local JB-HI FI in sydney it has the draws one could hold some cd's the other is 2 cup holders, it was about $35 so i might just do that for now when i get around to getting some new ICE
