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:
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:
