    My 2018 Outback has had constant problems with the Android Auto connection. I had thought it was the cord and I frequently replaced them. Recently I got a Motorola wireless Android auto adapter and it still happens. It seems random but it disconnects and reconnects. I tried both USB ports, same...

    Does the software update on the touchscreen finally allow Android Auto to run in full screen portrait mode on the 2020 Outback?

    Android Auto stopped working on my 2020 Subaru Outback when it was previously working just fine. My device is a Samsung Galaxy S21. Suggestions online said to try a Samsung brand charger and although it will charge my device, Android Auto will not kick on. I did try all the other tips(resetting...

    I recently received this email from Subaru: Great news! Soon, your 2023 Outback will receive a new software update for the in-vehicle touchscreen display. This update is included as part of your existing SUBARU STARLINK Safety Plan at no cost to you. To complete this update, you will need to...

    My sister has a 2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring, which does not appear to have android auto or CarPlay as a factory option. After I bought my outback recently, she likes the CarPlay option better than the factory Subaru starlink Bluetooth setup. Is anyone aware of a practical, semi cost...

    Been waiting very patiently for this fix. Turn my car on this morning to see the new Android auto interface. Unfortunately, I don't think Subaru got the memo. Using Google pixel 6🤦 I know apple has this figured out. Am I the only android user with this problem? Any other android users out there...

    I have a 2021 Outback Limited XT and Waze never lets me use the keyboard to search a destination when connected through Android Auto. It says that the vehicle needs to be in park (and it IS in park). I always have to disconnect by phone from the car and search for my destination and start the...

    We have had our new 2023 Outback for a couple of weeks and just started noticing issues with Android Auto not staying connected to the internet. If I want to use Google maps, I have to first set up the destination on my phone, connect to AA and then disconnect again and then connect again. Then...

    I have got 6th gen 2022 outback 8 months ago. When connecting Android Auto and playing music through the app, sometimes the button for audio control on the steering wheel doesn't work. so I can't take control of the music app to skip the next song or go back to the previous song by using the...

    The screen contrast for Google's Android Auto maps on the infotainment display is bad. I can see the planned route OK but the side roads are barely visible. The night mode is equally bad. Am I the only person that has this issue? Why can't it be more like Subaru maps?

    Hi there! I replaced the stock receiver in my 2016 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5 with a nicer Sony system. First, I bought all items recommended by Crutchfield, but noticed later on that not all of them were needed. Parts Metra 40-LX11 Antenna Adapter Metra 70-1761 Receiver Wiring Harness Axxess...

    Hi all, just bought a new 2022 Outback Limited. When using Google Maps navigation in Android Auto, I can get the GPS signal when I just start driving, but almost immediately (or after a first turn) I get a "Searhing for GPS" error. Interestingly, the same happens on my wife's Crosstrek, but NOT...

    My first post here, though I've been lurking for several months since we got our Outback last fall. Not having CarPlay has bugged me since we got it and after months of use I found the nav system to be a sub-par experience. I knew I'd be upgrading the infotainment system sooner rather than...

    Just wondering if anybody has found any good talking email apps (iPhone and Android) that work well and won't irretrievably blow my privacy? Lol. Seems strange that the base software for iPhone and Android will read all sorts of text messages, message aps, etc, no matter how long and let you...

    I got a new Outback outdoor XT 2 weeks ago. I just want Android Auto shows same way as Apple Car Play. We just need OTA software update to enable this same as they did to Car play.... Please... put this on schedule and work on this...

    When I first plugged my phone in using a cable, it asked if I wanted to set up Android Auto. I said no because I did not have time to figure it out. Now it's like my phone has been flagged to never connect. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S20 5G Ultra.

    Hi! Today I just installed a new Kenwood radio in my 2014 Outback with HK audio system without navigation using an iDatalink Maestro RR and associated adapters. The install went well and everything works great! Except for Android Auto anyway... I'm using an adapter to plug the factory USB port...

    I have a 2018 Outback. I've been using a Samsung Galaxy S7 for a long time to run Android Auto. It will only work when connected with a cable. It works most of the time but will disconnect out of nowhere (I've replaced the cable several times) and I've finally decided I want to find something...
