    I cannot figure out for the life of me how to program or set a preset for the radio. I’ve never been able to do it in this car actually and the fact that I can’t figure it out is driving me nuts! There are no hard buttons that you could press and hold to save to a preset. Help! What am I doing...

    Hey everyone, So this might be a long shot.. but my wife isn’t as big of an audiophile as I am, and agreed to let me swap her Ascent Touring Harman Kardon system with my Outback Wilderness 6 speaker [awful] system. Has anyone done this before? I know I’d have to remove the amp and reinstall...

    EDIT1: changed subject. Installed Sony XAV-AX6000. It looks great. It sounds great. It is fast. It has the features I want. Absolutely everything works. Sometimes... Randomly all audio output stops working except for a very faint & incomplete version of the the expected sound from the...

    Changed radio from manufactured to OEM Kenwood DMX 47s series, all new door speakers, new wiring, completely bypassed Harmon Kardon system. I don’t have any sound! Help! Please!

    Hey guys. Anyone know why music won’t play through USB in my ‘13? Only plays through Bluetooth. Also, when I’m charging my phone via 12V OR USB, the Bluetooth audio skips every few seconds. I can deal with no USB audio, but would like to at least charge my phone without audio issues until I get...

    Hey all, today I decided to embark on the process of wiring an amp and sub up to go along with my JDM head unit and aftermarket speakers. Unfortunately after getting everything wired up my amp will not start with my head unit. I verified my power cable from the battery is getting voltage, as...

    Just purchased kicker 6904 set of front door speakers that also came with tweeters, and crossovers. Do i absolutely have to use the crossovers? I was hoping this would just be essentially a plug and play set up (besides drilling a hole in the tweeter plate for installation). Has anyone done this...

    Hey guys, just bought this outback which does not have an aux input, despite the radio suggesting otherwise (yes I looked in the centre console) I was wondering, since it was an additional extra offered on this model, is it easy enough to buy a specific cable which would insert into the back of...

    I recently installed an aftermarket radio (atoto s8 ultra) into my car and everything went smoothly except for the FM radio. AM radio sounds fine, but FM radio reception is much worse than the stock radio. I thought that it might be the adapter I had bought since it was cheap from ebay, but...

    So to start off, I was looking at crutchfield, and their options for the OBXT with auto climate and no sub, and I really yearn for a 10-12 inch 1000 watt Sundown, and some better, higher watt, door woofers, as well as listening to my music in somewhat crystal clear sound. Now here's to the...

    Hi all, I’m experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues in my ‘17 OB limited stock head unit (I have since learned many of you have experienced the same). I saw a stock head unit pop up for sale from a 2018 forester that LOOKS the same, and was wondering if I could do a direct swap. They are...

    OBW 2022 so using wired Apple Car Play and it generally works pretty well but I have a regular problem with volume levels When I am using Apple Maps, I am usually also using Audible to listen to books or Spotify to listen to music. Everytime I get in the car there are significant audio level...

    Hey, so I recently installed a couple amps in my 2021 outback. A year ago I added an 800 watt mono amp with a 12 in sub in the back. The amp pulled from the wiring running to the rear speakers. That worked great and caused no issues. I later replaced both pairs of the door speakers with kickers...

    Hi there! My audio (Bluetooth, CD, and radio) started cutting out while driving and then completely stopped working after I turned the car off and restarted it. I am not super familiar with the electrical system, but checked the fuse in the passenger compartment (#4, amp 15) and it was fine. Is...

    Hello! Have something curious: when changing volume (either up or down), it changes in two distinct steps. Such as, a small change on the button click and then another small change about 0.5 second later. Say, I press the up button 5 times, it will increase the volume instantly and accordingly...

    The amplifier under the passenger seat got water-soaked from a rain leak in my 2014 Outback Ltd. 2.5 4-cylinder with Harmon Karman stereo. We turned on the radio and heard and smelled an electrical short sizzle. I replaced the amplifier but the stereo still makes no sound, although the head unit...

    Ok so this is a weird one… on my 21 Ascent if I’m listening to radio/Sirius and use Siri to send/hear a text message it mutes whatever is playing on the front speakers and lowers the volume on the rear speakers. however on my ‘18 Outback it mutes the rear speakers and the front gets louder and...

    Hello everybody, I think this actually might be my first post after looking for a long time for technical advice. I own a 2013 outback limited with the Premium non-nav head unit, and I’ve been having a fantastic time getting this head unit installed. I am kind of losing my mind trying to find a...

    Driving along today with apple CarPlay and the audio suddenly became nothing but a high pitched buzz. All inputs. Gets louder with volume control. Tried resetting the audio twice, no success. Now there’s no sound at all, from any source. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
