Installed Auto Dimming/Homelink mirror
In case anyone is deciding to add the electronic mirror themselves....it is soooooo easy!
Amazingly, the instructions are well done and easy to follow. The only thing that's questionable is how to get access to the connector. You just snap the front dome light down out of the headliner...pry it with your fingers from the side nearest the back of the car...it just snaps right out. No need to even remove the lens. They give you a connector cord that is ready to just plug into a socket up inside the headliner...a little hard to see but its there kinda on the passenger side of the hole. Any other questions...I'd be glad to answer. |

Cool I want to do this and have questions. Where did you buy the mirror? Do you have a piece that covers the wire coming out of the mirror? How much was it? Did you need any tools. And lastly any pictures?
Thanks in advance.

awesome i actually opted out on getting the autodim/homelink mirror cause i was thinking to myself that it would be cheaper to buy from that one subaru part site thats been floating around and doing it myself. to bad you didnt do a youtube vid of installation! would you mind taking a picture/ or scan of the installation instructions? thanks!

I don't think I have any torx bits. The size would be nice to know.

In that link it states "Please note H501SSA040 adapter is required when installing this mirror"
Is this "adapter" included when buying this or do we need it?
