If the switch is the same as the classic Impreza then just use the positions of the wires on the connector given in the instructions rather than any wire colours. Orient using the earth wire.
Still a few modules left as I over produced this time!
This still the case mate? I'm interested in one. How much are they?
Quick question, I have a 2004 JDM which has auto close mirrors as standard - button based not ignition. Recently my driver side one failed and doesn't close anymore. Will this fix that? Or will the motor in my actual mirror be knackered?

wiring in a Mk4 legacy is entirely different it seems, any thoughts?

More than likely the motor has failed in your mirror and the auto-fold won't fix this. You can test this simply by taking your door panel off on the driver side and unplugging the mirror where it goes into the loom. Get 2 long wires and connect these to a +12V and ground. Now carefully connect these to the brown & grey wires coming from your mirror plug.
Connected one way it will fold in, change polarity and it will fold out. If it still doesn't work then it's the mirror. If it does, it's either wiring loom in your door or switch (which I doubt).
I should add that I believe there is a way of resetting the mirror if it has gone over travel. Best look it up somewhere online. Best to leave it in the normal out position to test, then if this doesn't work fully fold it in a test again.

Same switch as my v3 @joz but mines located on the dash.
I have a set of trim removal tools that I used to prise the switch,looks like yours pops out just the same.

Hi mate, just tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full.
Finally fixed my standard mirrors so was going to fit the mirror-Matic and was wondering if you could send me the link to the instructions again please?
Easy to mark up the plastic with a screwdriver on certain bits of trim,even with the coolest of hands. But yep a screwdriver might be kind for you

Wrap a little bit of tape round the end of the screwdriver, this will help stop any mark-off.

This is preferable.

Indeed.
This is the best solution if you don't have trim tools. It only takes a few minutes to access the underneath and pop the switch out.

Sorry about that, my Scoobynet subs had expired!

I think you know the answer to the b0rked mirror question!
When you say "auto close mirrors", what's automatic about it? My 2003 JDM Blob had the same switch as the classics, similar in appearance to the one a few posts above.
The unit is now fitted and working in my Forester STI. Many thanks and thanks again for the support. I have since modified the switch to make it operate slightly differently than planned. Very pleased now.
He normally makes these in small batches or 10 or so, so if you're interested I'd suggest starting a new list of people who want them and asking Major_Sarcasm nicely!
