rarcher Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=3312 found this sucker while checking on prices for an auto dimming compass upgrade for my 05 3.0R outback sedan it states it can fit 2000-2009 models of legacy/outback and it comes with map lights etc yet i cant find any more info on this part elsewhere ala installtion differences etc etc i got a rebate coupon from subaru to use up of 300 bucks i used some of it to get an armrest upgrade and want the compass mirror too not sure if its a genuine subaru part though if its not i cant use the rebate on it if it is though something they can order them i might consider getting this if it will truly fit my outback.

Scooby2.5 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Ive never seen that one before. I have the factory one in my 05 outback XT and it does not look like that. I really like the compass auto dimming mirror I have in my car though. I wouldn't think you would want the one with map lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I did a Google search on that part number and there are a number of Subaru parts sites which carry that product. I'm sure you'll be able to use the subie bucks to purchase it through your dealer or FredBeansParts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ^While true, that is not the one that came on the 2005 Outback/Legacy We knew from his link that it is a Subaru part number and while it may fit his car Im not sure he needs redundant map lights. Fredbeans is a good place to go though. I purchased much of my build from them and used A LOT of subaru bucks!!!! http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2005-stage-3-outback-xt-sti-seats-150039.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
