    2019 Outback 3.6R with 8" HK with Nav. Curious what BT version is in the car and what audio codecs are used? Is it just SBC or does the HK headunit use AAC codec as well?

    I have a 2022 Outback. It is bluetooth connected to the car and my phonebook is downloaded. I can start and receive phone calls just fine. BUT: When I get a message it IDs the person from the phonebook, etc. The 'READ' option is greyed out and the system will NOT read the message to me...

    I got a new phone this week and while using my Outback's bluetooth I'm told that my conversations are barely understandable. Comments are I sound robotlike and echo sounds. My daughter told me I sound like Stephen Hawking :ROFLMAO: My old android phone worked fine on the bluetooth. I took it...

    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...

    A minor annoyance I'm finally posting about to see if I just missed a setting somewhere. So when my phone is BT'd to the car, if I get text, email, FB msg, whatever I get no ding from the car. I use diff tones so I know if it's something I should pay attention to or not (work email is important...

    When I connect my phone via Bluetooth I have about a one-second delay. If I hit play on my phone the music comes out one second later. This is true with many different Apps. When I hit pause on my phone the music continues to play for about one second. Same with many different apps. Youtube is...

    Hi there, 2019 OB Limited with HK head unit; Bluetooth pairing disappears about once every month or 2. When starting the car, I see the prompt "No device connected - would you like to connect a device?" If I check the phone, and the car, both have no listing for the connection. I have to...

    I have a 2020 Outback (premium) and twice in the past month the Bluetooth would randomly disappear in my phone (Android) and work phone (IPhone) couldn't connect. It was as if the Bluetooth in the head unit ceased to exist. Additionally, when that happens the two rear USB ports would stop...

    Hey all audio nerds! My Scosche BT-FM transmitter unit emits a ringing noise/high hum that seems to be related to the RPM of the engine, the higher my RPM the higher the pitch of the hum and vice versa - lower RPM, lower hum. This doesn't happen if I plug it into the AUX port of the car, only if...

    Hello, I’m hoping I can find some help here as I can’t find anything anywhere else. I just bought a used 2011 outback 3.6 limited. It has the Nav and HK audio system. My problem is getting my phone (IPhone xs Max) to connect to the car. Maybe 20% of the time it will connect automatically at...

    Hello, I am having Bluetooth issues with my 2019 outback. I have had the head unit replaced 2x and the issue is persisting. I was told that since getting a new head unit is not fixing it, then it must be my phone. I got a new phone, the issue is still persisting. I have been told that it is the...

    My wife is sensitive to radiation, and would like to turn off the bluetooth in our 2014 Outback. We couldn't find a switch for this. Is there some other way? Disconnecting the whole radio? Or would that create her problems?
