I have a 03 Legacy LSE that I would like to install a dimming rear view mirror on. Is this an easy install? Do I need to go with Subaru or can I get a third party unit? Will there be any electrical connections that will need to be made?

If you go with the Subaru unit, The plug will connect directly to the plug tied back in your headliner. Also will fit the mirror mount button directly, No modification.

 

So the reason to go with the Factory option is, it's already wired and simple to install. less than 15 minutes, even if you get the newer one with the 'Homelink' button.

 

Or you could save a few bucks ...... and change the connector end .... and install an adapter for the mirror mount.

I have an aftermarket. It was fairly easy, the toughest part was running the wires around the dash and through the firewall.

 

If your not brave get the factory unit.
