Best looking visible i-pod mounting solution. You have to get the device holder and the vehicle mount.

Those are the vehicle specific mounts for the impreza. You then attach (via screws that will be provided) the device holder.

The other option that is nice is to get the Forrester Din, and mod it to fit your car, then cut holes to pass through the i-pod adapter and it'll be nice and out of sight.

I co-sign that one! haha. The best thing about this built in model is that it will hold your cell phone too.

my car has a din (not sure 100% what it is) on my dash above the center air vents i havent had a chance to look but was thinking about putting a small hole in that and roting the wire into that and hooking it up that way. but i dont know how the air vents are routed around that or what not

control as in how?

the alpine iva series units have a fullspeed ipod connection that lets you select songs by genre, artist, album, etc. i've got the iva-w200 and it's great. looks great in a wrx's double-din.
