    Hi folks, I just bought a used 2018 Forester Limited. Just one year shy of CarPlay (damn it). Basically I am debating on wether or not to do a CarPlay radio enabled upgrade, but until that time was willing to try out using my iPhone navigation with Bluetooth via the regular radio...

    For the last few days I’ve been having problems with my Bluetooth. I can get it to pair with my phone, an iPhone 2020 SE, but after two or three minutes it says “mute“. It used to play streaming audio but now nada. Apparently it’s looking for an Internet connection. I live in the country so the...

    Bluetooth works fine for placing calls, listening to music, etc., but whenever I talk to someone they always say the background noise is unbearable - even when not driving and using bluetooth calls. Any kind of driving (street/suburbs, freeway) with windows up, air conditioner/fan on low (or...

    Hi, Hope all is well. My 2012 Forester 2.5X Premium with the OEM Headunit recently started skipping/stuttering while streaming music via bluetooth. The stuttering can be sporadic. Has anyone encountered this before? Does anyone know of a potential fix? I tried the following but the issue...

    Recently, my Bluetooth on my phone has been randomly connecting to my 2020 Forester when the car has been off for hours. This has happened a few times and the only solution I have is to disconnect the Bluetooth on my phone from the car after I notice it (usually when I am trying to listen to...

    Hello, my daughter was gifted a 2003 Subaru Forrester. 2.5 XS. We’ve done some work to the whole braking system, tires, etc and muffler... Anyway, it has a single key but I don’t know if whether or not this car originally had a electronic key fob and if I order one that comes with programming...

    OK, so here's an odd thought that just started pinballing in my head.... Can a single head unit connect bluetooth to 2 phones...? 📱 🚙 📲 I think that the Bluetooth technology can allow for it, but now I just wonder if the Subaru system can handle it... Hmm... The reason? I use one phone for...

    Hey y’all! I just purchased a 2015 forester 2.5i premium and I am having some trouble with the bluetooth. The car and my iphone recognize each other, and my iphone says “connected,” but my music won’t play and nothing is coming through the speakers (although the volume is certainly working for...

    Both Android auto and BT suck on the Forester. BT started acting up worse, so the dealer replaced the head unit. Not much better. In addition, due to the poor quality plastics and the mechanic, a number of surfaces near the radio were scratched up during the replacement. [email protected]! AA besides being...

    I just changed from a Samsung Galaxy S7 to a Samsung A70 phone. After some initial struggles, I was able to get the new phone connected to the Bluetooth. The sound that I hear is garbled on the radio. The people that I call can hear me fine. The S7 sound was fine. I have two other devices...

    I've just bought a new Cell Phone (Samsung A70). My old cell phone was also a cell phone, and worked fine with the Bluetooth in my 2013 Subaru Forester. I did an auto transfer and most of the phone settings were transferred. I tried to pair the new phone with the car's Bluetooth, and initially...
