Introduction
The purpose of this thread is to document the update history for the Subaru Outback Gen 4 Denso CP1 infotainment unit. This is the infotainment unit in the 2020-2022 model year Outbacks. This thread will serve as a record of the updates and a general lookup/destination for reference in other threads.

The versions listed here apply to the North America market vehicles only (USA and Canada). Other regions may be similar, but the supporting documentation is intended for the North American market. Any downloads from the technet site are intended for North America market vehicles only. For further information, see the megasuperduper software thread

NOTE: Gen 4 is in the title of the TSB, and refers to the infotainment unit, not the generation of the outback.

Any questions about firmware, installing, downloading, use, problems, issues, whatever, belong in that big software thread. Take it there.

Applicability:
  • 2020-2022 Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles ONLY
These updates are for the North American market vehicles.

Recalls/Product Campaigns:

There were two, separate, Product Campaigns for the 2020 model year units

The first Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update was made available on August 17, 2020. There were reports of some vehicles having problems with the download if it wasn’t correctly applied after downloading. The FOTA functionality was disabled four days later. Subaru issued a safety recall for vehicles that had downloaded that update. Vehicles would be updated by Subaru, in the event a head-unit could not be updated, a replacement, with the updated firmware, would be installed.

A second product campaign was initiated at the same time. This was a voluntary campaign to update any vehicles with the 11.6” screens to the latest firmware release, since the WiFi update had been disabled. The intent of this voluntary action was to improve customer satisfaction with the Subaru they bought.

These product campaigns were:

  • WRH-20 - Safety Recall - Rear Visibility FMVSS 111 Non-Compliance: Between the period of August 17, 2020 and August 21, 2020, a firmware-over-the-air (“FOTA”) update was made available for certain vehicles equipped with Multimedia Navigation (“High” Grade) and Multimedia Plus (“Mid” Grade). If the software download was initiated and if there was a delay in the data writing speed of the flash memory, the installation process could timeout. A timeout failure during the data writing sequence could cause the data to become corrupted, and if corrupted, may result in the Center Information Display (“CID”) going blank. A total of 7,741 vehicles were affected.​
  • WRI-20 - Product Campaign - Reprogramming of Denso CP1 Infotainment Units to Optimize System Performance: In the interest of customer satisfaction, Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is initiating a Service Program for certain 2020-2021 model year Legacy and Outback vehicles to update the Cockpit Control Module (CCM) software to the latest version. This is a voluntary recall by Subaru in the interest of customer satisfaction. It is not a safety recall. This one gets you a warm fuzzy that subaru is listening to customer feedback and you get all the new software features. It affects the cars with the 11.6" screens only. A total of 212,971 vehicles were included.​

Small errors can lead to big things.

  4. The CID restarts about 3 minutes after turning on the Ignition Switch. It occurs when the CID processor falls under irregularly high load conditions.
  5. System reboot due to application failure. Software robustness has been imporved to prevent CID and CCU from resetting whenever its individual function fails.
  6. When the vehicle comes to a place on a highway where there are multiple exits with combinations of alphabets and numbers, the CID cannot process the information correctly for turn-byturn navigation and restarts.
  7. CID restarts when Navigation system is re-routing the route crossing the border of the states. When the customer veered off navigated route and the re-routed route includes the roads across the boarder of states, the calculation is not properly processed and the CID restarts.

Both attribute to processing errors in CCU.
  12. When conducting USB reprogramming, the screen transition to error screen instead of confirmation screen.
  13. When “Software Update” is selected in the Dealership Mode, the following initialization process does not end more than 20 minutes. Note In case this USB update failure occurs, retry updating according to the instructions in “Appendix A” of the TSB.

  3. "One of the Pop-up Error Messages displayed during the FOTA operation in case of weak Wi-Fi signal is not intuitive. Even if the customer tap “OK,” it does not transit to another screen.As the improvement for this inconvenience, the message is changed so that the customer finds the reason why the FOTA operation has been paused. Also a “Resume” button is prepared so that the customer can do the rest of operations after necessary action (moving the vehicle to another place with better Wi-Fi connection, or tethering the CP1 to a mobile phone, etc.) Note: The FOTA operation can be paused when the Wi-Fi indicator at the upper right corner of the CID is not in “Good” or “Excellent”
  4. To prevent the overall CID system (CCU) from being reset whenever its individual function fails, the robustness of the software has been improved.
  5. CD returns to CD deck too fast to pick it out after ejection button has been pressed. As the countermeasure, the pausing time is extended to ease the operation.
  6. Past DTC stored in the CCM cannot be captured by SSM when new current DTC is detected. Both DTC’s can be captured by SSM after letting the system into sleep mode and turning the Ignition Switch on again.
  7. Music in the different folder in a USB stick can be selected by Track-UP/Down opera- tion.

  1. The CP1 display and/or center Combination Meter display freezes. No response from touch screen or voice guidance. After switching the ignition off and opening the driver’s door, the system does not recover. NOTE: After switching the ignition off and leaving the driver’s door open more than 70 seconds, the system may recover after switching the ignition back on.

Please try again.
  5. When using Voice Recognition to search for a ‘Nearby POI’ (Point of Interest) in Canada with FRENCH language selected, the CP1 display turns black and displays a Caution / disclaimer message.

I have an OUTBACK 2022 LIMITED XT (Canada) and asked my dealer to install the latest firmware.
They installed FB1SHM121-080. Does anyone know what the release notes are for this version and when it came out?
