It looks like it is possible, I have tracked down one thread so far on NASIOC but there is no 'How To' write-up but I will keep on looking. :)

Easy enough to do if you want to loose the slider function, The old and new controls might even fit either facia in which case you would not need any rewiring, Just use your original hvac unit and make some brackets to relocate it if need be.

the electronic ones operate a servo that moves the part that the cable connects to on your car so i think you would need this bit also.
have you searched nasioc as the us cars use the same console.
i think all uks were electronic

As said below UK and US models do differ, but I think I might be on the right track now.





Having some Tubby loving or split personality? :D

i needed to change the handbrake also, be careful with nasioc as there are some differences in trim pieces between left and right hand versions.
i thimk the handbrake and cup holder part is different on the us cars due to being left hand drive

you also need to do something with mirror controls, i extended the wire into the door and bought some 05 door cards from a jdm car as i also have folding jdm mirrors which i assume you already have. the cards are the same but the uk switch plate doesnt take a jdm mirror switch due to it having an extra button to fold mirrors.

I have a unique solution to that problem as the Spec C doesn't have mirror heating, adjustment or folding so no problem there then. When I source the parts the mirror switch will just be an ornament or I will see if I can get a blanking trim for it. :)

As for finish it will be a matt black of some description, whether it will be painted or coated I am not sure on yet.

there is nowhere to fit it in its original centre mounted location , there are only two switch locations for dccd and nothing else.

Obviously I will need to source RHD parts with the exception of the radio/heater control panel, but I would have sorted this out a lot sooner had I found this. :brickwall :lol1:

I actually like Tubby (not in a gay way though), there is nothing wrong with speaking your mind especially if you know what you are talking about and have the experience of doing it for yourself. :)

Well I've ordered the required panel from japanparts.com - it was £68.73 inc shipping, I did try my local Subaru dealer and they wanted £76.00 plus VAT but could give no delivery date at all.

I know I could get stung for the UK VAT plus handling costs but at least I've got a definite confirmation that I'll be getting the part whereas from the dealer they wanted me to pay and then wait an undetermined amount of time.
