How to install Homelink mirror?

Has anyone seen the instructions on how to do this? I know you buy an adapter when you get the mirror, but I'd like to know what the instructions say about using the adapter? Does the entire headliner come down, etc? I didn't find instructions on Subaru's TechInfo site yet.

Thanks for that, but I'm more curious about the OEM-style installation.

Read and look at pics here
http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulle...de-pics-27218/

It's almost identical, except you don't have to pop the maplight lens - just stick a screwdriver behind the maplight trim from the sides and pop it out. Stock mirror just rotates off the windshield mount just like in that pic.

Once I get around to ordering the parts I'll do a DIY if one doesn't exist yet.

Sadly, I already installed mine, and didn't have enough time to be taking pictures while at it.
