I have the armrest extension too. I also have a kartboy ss and I have not yet had problems with it interfering with my shifting. It was awesome on my cross country drive which would have sucked without the extender.

I have the install for both on Scoobymods. The armrest is simple just two screws is all. The mirror is easy too. I did it on our Legacy and my XT. It's basically the same on the WRX to install too. I like them both.

Personally, I do not like the auto dimming mirror. I tend to be sentive to light, especially at night, and the auto dimming light changes slow and does not dim very much. My wife loves the thing and keeps telling me to stop complaining about the mirror and automatic transmission always being in the wrong gear.

Ditto. I don't think it gets dim enough unless I put my finger over the sensor on the front -- it dims accordning to the difference it sees in sensors pointing forward and back, and I think in town the forward one sees too much light. I've been thinking about putting something on the mirror that I could flip down over the forward sensor whenever I want it darker.

I'm addicted to the compass, though, especially when I'm driving somewhere new and have no idea which way I'm going.
