Gen 6 2021 Firmware Version

Hi all,

I know there is a software giga thread but it seems to be mainly US based. I've called my local dealer and the Subaru AU customer helpline but they have been less than useless. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a software upgrade in AU. My 2021 Outback is currently on the below which I think is the initial version.

Current: F17GHM042-380

Any help would be appreciated.

Mine is doing a software upgrade as we speak. Came up as I got home and the car hooked onto my wifi.

new version for me:F17GHM122-570

No noticeable changes, but I’ve read elsewhere that this is the update to bring everyone to the same level before rolling out the new GUI update.

Same, GUI all the same. Presume it's to bring all the internal frameworks and libraries up to date before the GUI changes.

Noticed a message flashed up on the screen at startup a few weeks ago that a software update was available. Using my phone as a hotspot, completed the update and it went from F17GHM042-380 to F17GHM122-370 and with Map version 42496.

My Outback is a 2021 Touring with a build date early 2021 and I'm wondering why other 2021 Touring owners are reporting that they have a different version number.

I just completed the update on an MY22 AU sport. Versions were FC7BHM101-080 updated to FC7BHM121-070. Clearly different trim also has different version numbering.

Two noticeable differences since doing the FOTA update.
1. FM radio no longer briefly cuts out every 20-30 seconds.
2. Eyesight flags more "Obstacle ahead" when approaching a bend.

The 2023 style update for 20-22 model years has rolled out in the states, with AVH, ASS, easier heater seat & fan buttons all on the home screen. This update, AFAIK can only be done via USB not OTA(wifi). I don't want to try it because I suspect there will be obvious differences in the NA version compared to the Oceania/jap made version. Is there a page you can download the files directly from subaru aus/nz? Maybe the new files are there?
