Hey guys, I made a video tutorial on how to install the auto-dimming mirror in your Subaru BRZ 2022. I tried to get straight to the point. Let me know if this helped you!
How to install an auto-dimming mirror for the Subaru BRZ 2022

The H5 is a subaru part number, and the PT number is Toyota
i think the wired/battery power difference may be part of it as well, I’ve seen one (I think PT) at half the price of the other
I have the Toyota version arriving tomorrow, so I’ll confirm when I get it, but I am also under the impression that it is battery operated. From what I read about other models, the battery lasts ~3 years, so for the price difference, that sounded good enough to me.
Here are pictures of the Toyota version for anyone who is interested. PT374-18220

Bump. What is the cord for if battery operated? Does it plug into the factory harness?
Where did you buy from? Is yours battery operated? Curious what the wire is for.
So, I ordered it without the information being listed but assuming it was battery operated because of the price difference. However, it has all the same wires as the above video, and it doesn’t currently turn on without being plugged in, so?!
I ordered it from, like, Sunnyside Toyota in Ohio bc they had the lowest price I saw. I paid $155 shipped. I was prepared for it to be battery operated but it has the same wiring as the video above.

This thread is awesome! Just ordered my Toyota version (love that discounted price!), and should have it in a week or so (perfect since I got on vacation Saturday). Cant wait to install it along with some other interior goodies that are on their way.
I don’t see any sign of it, so maybe? I’m hoping to install tonight so I’ll update.
Update: installed with no issues using @PhatFreshPrince video (thank you!). It’s definitely hardwired, so I don’t know why some of the part number listings say battery operated, but whatever. You’ll need a t20.
@blaze2100 called it - it doesn’t have the compass feature, so if that’s a dealbreaker for you, you’ll probably want to pay for the Subaru version.
I was able to set up homelink with no issues at all!

FYI, I installed the Toyota one pictured above in my AT GR86 and can say that the cable that comes with the mirror is too short to allow the cover between the mirror and the headliner fit when everything is in place. The issue appears to be the extra wire routing needed for the bracket that holds the AT eyesight system in place. Personally I just neglected to install the cover, everything works as intended other than that. Plug and play.
Folks should take a second look and see if the AT gets a different part number with a longer routing cable included.
