My 'new to me' 2002 GU ST is equipped with a state of the art cassette player !!!
What are some of the better options for an upgrade?

Almost limitless options mate. Hard to find a shit stereo these days unless you pay $20.

If it were me I'd put in something with bluetooth compatibility for hands free and also for smartphone connectivity.Have always been a fan of Blaupunkt, Alpine and Sony.

almost anything is possible and available

I have a Sony head unit, with speakers & Amp and Subs............. works fine for me

price is limitless
my cousin has nearly 10K worth of stereo in his 4x4
or
less than $500 if you get them from somewhere like Cash Converters

Keep an eye on sales at Autobarn, SCA etc etc.. I picked one of these up for $150 on sale last month.. It isn't a fancy touch screen.. does everything i need and easier to wire up then the fancy multi players.

I`m in a similar situation and was thinking of getting one of those VMS units with a GPS in it.

Thanks for the feedback.
I guess I was looking for some pics of the install.
My stock unit seems to take up a fair bit of the dash area, unless I am not looking carefully.
I don't want to have a big gap once I put a unit in.

This unit looks as though it would fit the space nicely.
Did you need to purchase a loom to connect it to the stock wiring?
