Well, at this point, it's really just installing it and getting the lighting working. As a high level recap, the 2012+ Impreza SWCs are plug and play. Connect as follows:
Blue wire to HU pin 21 SWC1 Audio (Seek, Volume)
Orange wire to HU pin 22 SWC2 Mode & Phone
White wire to HU pin 23 SWC Common
That will get all of the controls working.
For the lighting,
Black wire to ground
Pink wire to +12v source
I am not sure yet the best spot to tap this into. I'd ideally like to have it light up with the rest of the interior buttons, and I'd like to have the dimmer control it as well, so I need to do some more research there, but the actual getting the buttons to work is done.
What I'm currently working on is trying to get the Legacy SWCs, which work differently than the Impreza ones, working properly. They use a different setup. I bought them first (because they were cheaper and I didn't have the info I have now), and chopped them up for experimenting with, then I bought the Impreza ones. I'd like to get my set of Legacy ones working, because the Impreza ones are completely intact and I'd rather resell them to recoup some of my money instead of just installing them and throwing the Legacy ones in the trash.
