This is the first I have heard of this - sometimes dealerships make stuff up but if it's true this needs investigation.

I checked the subaru parts website and it seems that all of the harnesses are the same unless I missed the one that changed (click on the "what this fits" tab for compatibility).

Will your dealership give you specifics about which part changed? An actual part number?

They just said that the harness for the radio is different which will not allow them to install the Rockford Fosgate amp. I also asked a friend who worked at another Subaru dealership and they told me the same thing but as you found there doesn't seem to be anything different in the harnesses. I haven't been able to find any posts in the forum of someone adding the Rockford Fosgate upgrade to a 2022. I even checked the Canadian Subaru website and the upgrade is available on the 2021's but not the 2022's. I wonder what has changed?
