took matters into my own hands and replaced my wave head unit today.
Have to say it was VERY easy after all. Took about an hour from start to finish and that included some time just getting organized.

For anyone installing an Alpine HU - note that they seem to use a different antenna adapter than the normal ISO one. Not sure exactly what the story is, but I'm without FM until I figure it out.
Next on the list : bigger job of installing new component speakers and amplifier. Much research to do.
