    The little light behind the volume knob of the head unit in my 2018 Premium with Navigation appears to have burned out. The vehicle is still under the Gold extended warranty, so I think I can have it fixed at the dealer. My question is will the dealer actually replace the light bulb, or will...

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has any experience or knows about installing a Kenwood DMX5020S head unit? Pretty set on this as it’s on sale at the moment but worried about compatibility with steering wheel controls etc. Cheers

    Hey, I’m looking to install an aftermarket head unit for CarPlay and I was looking at a $180 ebay one made for the 5th Gen outback. I’m wondering if it’s just plug and play? And what are the differences between a $180 one and an $80 one because all the listings look the same? I’ve heard a lot...

    Hello all, I have a 2003 Limited with the head unit that has am/fm/wb and the 6-disc CD changer all in one unit and the 9(?) speakers including subwoofer (I think it's part # 86201AE36A). It's not the McIntosh one. Unfortunately, the CD player crackles and pops and will sometimes stop playing...

    My wife and I recently drove a 2024 Outback Wilderness to possibly replace her decades-old SUV. She went into it really interested in the Outback, but she immediately encountered a show-stopper in the form of a rainbow effect when viewing the head-unit display through polarized sunglasses...

    I have a 2017 Limited 3.6 w/ 59k. Been very happy with it mostly, but the lack of decent navigation from the OEM unit is annoying and any trickier navigation via Google Maps on my iPhone is too hard. Primarily what I want to do is be able to view Google Maps on the center console screen. This...

    I replaced my head unit with a new android head unit but I did not disconnect the battery. I blew the back up fuse located in the engine bay and replaced that so I have power to my head unit again. The issue now is that my climate control does not turn on anymore, TPMS light is blinking, airbag...

    HI. I'm thinking of getting the Idoing head unit for my Gen 5 Premium 2.5l 2016 with the Harmon Kardon sound system. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do I need a harness to make it compatible? Anything I should be aware of before purchasing or installing? Any advice or tips...

    New and Naive - Two prior Outbacks (2001 & 2004) both totaled by other at-fault drivers. I just purchased a 2015 Outback Limited two weeks ago in great shape for $23,000 w/ 42,000 miles. My entire lifetime experience with a head unit consists of watching a friend use her Honda Fit's navigation...

    VEHICLE INFO: 2011 Subaru Outback, originally Non-Nav, H/K sound system with amplifier. So recently I replaced the head unit in my wife's outback from the Non-Nav unit, to an upgraded touch screen unit with Apple Car Play. (It was the DUAL DCPA701) It was fairly standard process of matching...

    Hey guys, Long time reader, first time poster! I have a Gen 5 2017 OB 2.5i and for whatever reason, it does NOT come with Apple Car play. I am reaching out to the community in hopes that someone, somewhere has installed an aftermarket USB plug in dongle, like CarlinKit that has been...

    My radio died the other day - no sound at all. Tried a few things but no luck. Bright it to the dealership because I thought it might be an issue with the head unit and covered under the class action extended warranty. Dealership says it's the amplifier that needs to be replaced which is not...

    I've placed an order for a Touring XT, arriving in March. Loved the way the turbo drove and the quiet demeanor of the cabin. Pretty much LOVED the car. But then I joined this forum and started reading all the comments about the Denso head unit rebooting. And how numerous software updates have...

    I have a 2021 Outback Limited which I have had for just over a year. There have been 3 occasions which the head unit will stop responding. I cannot change the radio, the heater controls are inop, and I get warnings that the RBA a d EyeSight are not working. After a couple of minutes the...

    I have a 2015 outback 3.6R and HK speaker system. I replaced the infotainment unit recently, and I was checking the unit, everything is good, the navigation, all buttons. But the thing is I could not hear anything from the speaker, including AM/FM and Bluetooth. I have checked every cable behind...

    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!

    Just had a pioneer 8600nex installed and it works great. Love it so far. Couple minor issues I'm wondering if anyone else has had in a similar situation... 1. Seat memory only works with the car off completely. And then only sometimes. 2. Liftgate won't open either unless car is totally off. I...
