My 2018 Forester Premium has such an awful buzz through the microphone, that others can't talk to me over Bluetooth. This only happens when the headlights are turned on. I do not have HID Lights, just the stock Halogens () There is no buzzing with the Daytime Running Lights I have tried other...

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about buying a 2023 Base Forester. How is the infotainment in this? From the description it says you just get AM/FM and carplay/android auto. Does it have anything else? Is it possible to swap it out for an upgrade? Thanks

We just got a 2021 forester premium without navigation and were wanting to manually update the firmware on the radio to the latest version. Since it doesn't have the ability to do it OTA, does anyone know what the latest version is? Do any of the newer firmware's make updates to carplay? Lastly...

G'day, I've just swapped over the head unit on my 2004 2.5X and the radio won't work. However also the central locking no longer works and the clock on the dash won't work amongst possibly other things. Have checked interior fuse box and fuses are fine so thinking I may have unhooked a wire by...

Hey everyone. So I installed a hi low converter so I can play my sub off the factory radio, but I’ve run into an issue where the radio stays on and all my instruments stay on too when I turn the ignition off. If anyone has suggestions or tips that would really help. It’s 2018 Forester 2.5 stock...

Hey guys. Having another issue with my 2007 Subaru Forester X. After Fixing the starting issue I had today. I decided to go ahead and put a new head unit in. Just to make the day better, plus it’s my wife’s car and she’ll love the Apple Car play. I got the new unit in, and wired up. I was very...

Looking for possible solutions for a radio that will just start scanning through stations or skipping songs when connected to bluetooth/playing a CD. I have brought it to the dealer and they did an update. Seem to fix it for a couple days, but now it is doing it every time I drive. Took it back...

I’m no audio aficionado, but my brand new Premium has hardly any bass. Turned all the way up to +9, you can barely hear any bass and it certainly doesn’t hit like even my 2009 Mazda did… I don’t have the Karmon upgrade but I expected a LOT more from the audio of a brand new car in 2022...

I have the 2020 Forester Touring, which I LOVE (sorry for yelling), and I have a question. If I want to scroll, station by station through SiriusXM, I can turn the knob on the right side of the radio. Is there a way to do this from the steering wheel? I know if I push the arrows pointing left...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to Subaru! So far, I'm loving my new 22 Forester overall, but I'm having major issues with my infotainment system. Basically, when I plug my phone in for Android Auto (new Pixel 6 phone and I've tried several different cables) the results are very...

I pulled out the wrong fuse... I meant to pull out the blower fuse but pulled the audio/navi fuse. And now it won't turn on. The fuse I originally pulled was fine (and still is) but now my interior lights aren't working either. What happened? Is it simple to fix? I'm too far away for me to go to...

My pre-owned forester’s radio has not worked ever since I got it. The radio turns on but there is no sound just static then after a few seconds the radio turns off with a subtle pop then sounds like a diving plane then silence then a very loud bass like sound plays for a split second. Everything...

Specifically, the CD player and the AUX options are not illuminated, giving me no option to use them. Where do I start to diagnose this problem. The dealership said $200 to diagnose the problem, but the service advisor said 99% of the time regardless of the diagnosis, the come back recommending...

Hi, Some weeks ago my radio starts to run on and off. Sometimes I start my car and it's runnning on and other time it's not running. Text radio and menu is impossible to Read. Do you know what can be the trouble ? Anybody already got this ?

I have the H621SFG650 head unit installed in my '10 Forester as shown below. I want to see what reasonable options exist when it comes to modifying/replacing the head unit. I would prefer to try to modify the software on it as that option is free. I know it has a Bluetooth receiver in it as...

2021 Forester. First time Subaru owner, the highlighted playing radio station indicator does not move to any other row other than the row it's on. The radio will go through all 18 stations however, the highlighted indicator will not flip through them. Is there somewhere to change the settings...

I would like to replace my stock radio with one with aux(soldered to the stock radio?) or Bluetooth or both. I am worried about buying a smart radio that doesn't fit the Centre console. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My 2015 2.5i has the notorious bluetooth connection issues, and I'm planning to replace the head unit, but I'm really not stoked on the prospect of needing to wire in an adapter to keep the steering wheel controls. If I'm understanding correctly, the post-facelift (2016+) models have different...

Hello - This morning I noticed a strange problem with my radio and steering wheel arrow buttons that control the radio stations on my (new to me) Subaru Forester 2019. I tried googling, without finding a solution. The arrow buttons on the steering wheel that usually switch through the radio...
