So i know this has been brought up a lot before but i was bored a work and just want to know if its really this simple..

If i buy this control

and use these mirrors

do i simply just wire everything together? how about the mirror blinkers? i know these mirrors arent heated (per discription) but can i just swap out the guts for my heated mirrors?

I doubt that this will work.

You need to have a motor drive system to fold the mirror in/out under control from the switch.

The mirror you showed does not have a drive system in it. It looks to be a standard up-level trim Forester mirror......with the integrated turn signal but no defrost.

The "power" those are referring to is power adjustment, not power folding.

Subaru mirror switches are made by Toyota. I've always thought that a Lexus or Toyota folding mirror switch might be a cheaper way to go than through japanparts.

Of course, I'm not positive that the wiring matches up exactly, but I'd bet that there is a good chance it does, or just a little pin swapping and you'll be there.

If you click to enlarge the picture, under the notes section it describes them as "power folding" mirrors.

Hmmm:

You're right, it does say that the mirrors are power folding…..so perhaps this would work after all?

I stand corrected….

I would believe they needed a comma in the description. Power, Folding etc etc.. if they really are steal but i doubt it.

Those are not "Power folding", they are "Power, folding".

The OEM number they give there are for the USDM mirrors, thus they are not the folding type as they were never offered in the US. See here for an example:
