OK, I've searched and searched. Is there a list on the site of working Voice Commands in the 2013 Outback?
Thanks, members.

2013 Nav / Traffic System Voice Command List
1 - 4 of 4 Posts
I have been able to explore this a bit, though I still have not found a list. The voice commands are extremely limited. It's missing basics on Garmin, and my 2005 (7 years ago!) Toyota Prius, including:
* Retail Stores: Can't tell it to find the nearest Costco, for example
* Temperature: Can't tell it to set the A/C at 74 degrees (this has been in the Prius forever)
Too bad! Overall, it's still better than 2011.

Voice Commands
If you have the slightest foreign language accent (or other "accent" or dialect) it will not take your commands ... Toyota/Lexus TMC is also trying to figure out, how to fix this issue, they have the same problem. There is a technology out there (not yet fully developed in the automobile market) - where you can record your own commands. The drawback is that the unit will then listen only to you!

Please comment if you've changed your trans fluid as well and how often. My car has done neither of those activities/never had the fluid changed and sits at 105K with no trans...- 31

Rear cargo area hold hook
Gen 4: 2010-2014Ok, so I broke the small hook that attaches to the floor of the rear cargo so you can hook it out of your way when you access the spare tire compartment. Subaru dealership here wants over $20 for the whole assembly not just the hook. Local wrecking yards don't have any Gen 4 outbacks. So I'm...- 15

Enable DRL
Gen 4: 2010-2014Hi ! I've just read some posts talking about disable DRL on OB 2010, but it's been quite difficult find out a solution for my problem, so I decided to start a new one. Hope it's ok. My Outback is a 3.6 italian version, or maybe european version, anyway it doesn't have DRL. I suppose that's...- 6

Tap high beam for auxiliary lights?
Gen 4: 2010-2014OK, I finally got around to mounting up my usual pairs of Rigid LED fogs and driving lights on my 2011 Outback and tapped the driving light relay wire into the high beams at the headlights--forgetting what I learned on my Forester: Subaru uses the high beams as daylight running lights, so my...- 0

Front Differential and CVT issue
Gen 4: 2010-20143 weeks ago, I had my 2011 Outback in the dealership to replace the Control Valve Body in the transmission. Everything was fine until I took a road trip last week and my car suddenly revved to 3500RPM (on a flat, straight highway) and then started making strange grinding noises followed by a...- 4
