I've got a CDXMP30 which I think is the model superceeded by the MP40.
You will need the adaptor to convert the Impreza's harness to ISO.
The unit is pretty good but seems to suffer unduly from excess heat. On a recent trip to Portugal the damned thing stopped working in temps of 30 degrees as the heat from the engine was just too much for it. They also seem pretty fragile.
Still pretty good sound and the ability to play MP3's is well worth the cash. I got my older unit from Empire Direct (crap service cheap prices) for £150 which is the price of its replacement there.
