    Hi friends. It’s time for Sandy’s radio to join the 21st century. I’ve ordered the JDM double din that has the dual AC controls, but it comes from Japan so it’s not here yet. Since she’s an oldie, the threads don’t really help me pick a current radio model. I’d like to have one ordered soon, but...

    Just bought a 24 wilderness outback. Just love it. Mpg with 2.4 turbo not so good, fast but under 17mpg. I am trying to figure out what the premium sound consists of. Did Subaru just swap speakers to harmon karden and call it good. Do I have 12 of them with the 500+ watt amp like on earlier...
  3. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Apologies, but after reading through the numerous related threads I'm at a loss. Similar to others, everything works when the key is in the acc. position. Once the car starts, on random occasions the wipers and radio do not come on. Other items tied to this issue are the front seat heaters...

    Curious if anyone is having this issue… I have a 2022 Outback Limited. About 1 in 100 (on average) times that I either change from a SiriusXM radio preset to FM preset (or vice versa) the volume goes from normal and well balanced to FULL BLAST out of a single speaker in front left or rear left...

    My radio recently stopped working in my 2013 Outback and the front fuse looks fine. I replaced it anyway and still nothing. The cd player will eject a cd but no lights, no sound, nothing. Is there another fuse I should be looking for? Thank you,

    Hello - I have the stock 2019 radio (nav, backup camera, cd player, CarPlay, etc.) installed in my Outback (2.5i Touring) and normally it works fine, but lately there are two seemingly unrelated issues that pop up from time to time. No sound This happened once before where the radio and all...

    If I disconnect the battery in a 2012 Outback 2.5i 6MT, will I need a code to unlock the radio afterwards? If I don't have the code, how can I get it? I had that on a Honda, I believe it's an anti-theft measure for the radio.

    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...

    My CD player in my 2005 has stopped playing CD's, the radio and all the climate controls work and I can still load and eject CD's but it doesn't read or play them. On the display where it usually shows the track and time on the song it's just blank. Is there anyway to fix this or should I just...

    I have the HK radio (non-nav) in my (just purchased) 2011 3.6R Limited where the backup cam is routed to the rear view. I have yet to find a good video on YT about moving the signal down to the dash for the Subaru, but seen other makes. Seems as though the common approach is to cut the signal...

    I’m currently considering adding a CB radio to my car AND possibly getting a WEBOOST cell phone booster kit for the outback. I’m starting to advance a little more in my camping and catch myself being in more remote areas, so I like the idea of having both systems in my Has anyone installed a...

    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...

    I have a 2014 outback with the built in Nav and Harmon kardon speakers, i have searched everywhere online to find a radio with apple carplay that will fit but have come to dead ends each time. I found one but it doesn't work with Harmon Kardon stereo system. Does anyone know of a apple carplay...

    Been following the threads on ham radio antennas here and on the ascent forums. I don't want to drill and glass mount antenna's look like best option. Had considered some of the roof/crossbar mount options, but plan to have rooftop tent soon, plus carry other gear up top so not really an...

    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...

    Everything I've found has said that it's impossible to change the radio out in these outbacks if they have the climate control, and yet the outback I purchased has both an aftermarket radio, as well as functioning climate control. That being said the aftermarket head unit itself is pretty old...

    Hey Guys. So my local car audio shop which does amazing work, and installed a killer system on the Tundra I owned prior to the Wilderness is going to be doing the audio upgrade on the Wilderness for me. They suggested the JL Audio Fix 86 Sound Processor, JL 5 Channel Amp and, Kicker Comp VT 12"...

    Howdy all - I'm new to this forum as I just purchased a used 2016 Outback. While calling Subaru to get the VIN put in my name for the My Subaru and Starlink apps, they mentioned that I have a "Gen 0" radio/head unit. Instead of touch screen buttons on the side for "Home" and "Apps", mine has...

    I've seen a lot and variety of posts on this, some wanting to remove the button, or the antenna(!). I just want to remove it as an audio source. Currently every time I turn the car on or off, it defaults to that source and has loud (over-volume) blasting advertisement to re-subscribe. then I...
