Is it an easy job to get the double din unit out of a '96 Legacy GT... I'm assuming that I can ditch the factory unit and put a better one fairly easily ?

Very easy. Use the connector adapter harness. Don't cut any of the stock wiring.
Cheers. Is it easy to get the unit itself out then ?
Haven't had a proper look yet, but I couldn't see an obvious way to get at it. I assume you have to start with taking the centre console out or something first ?
If I remember correctly on my 90 GT SW you took out the cupholder to get to two screws. The ashtray has 3 screws, one w a a ay in the back. The head unit is held by 3 screws, one on each side and one w a a y in the back.
I don't know what the differences are between your '96 and my '00 OB, but it wasn't a bad experience.
If you buy a new unit from Crutchfield
Spend the money on new speakers as well if you can afford them, your ears will thank you.
