Any clue on the effects on battery life when on park mode?
Great video, any idea how to access the USB port at the back of the console?
My dash cam just arrived, and your video will be perfect for me to follow along in hiding the wiring. I'm planning on connecting it by connecting an adapter to one of the ports in the housing between the auto-dimming mirror and the EyeSight cameras, but I wonder if hardwiring it is the better option or not.
Bet it’s annoying the crap out of the guy in front of you . Only leader should have light bar on
Good review sir! Looks great on your Subi too. Awesome trails as well! 👊
why did you have original switch that came with the light bar mounted in the car plus the 6 gange switch panel and whats the yellow wire for...
Yellow wire prob DRL from light bar.
After playing around with the wiring, that original switch works kind of a "Master" switch. I kept it mostly to so I could customize the DRL from amber to white whenever I wanted to. Wiring it in directly to the AR-600 without that switch would leave me with a strct on/off function. I also didn't want to splice the switch's power to make it work with the AR-600. Believe it or not, the way I installed it is actually the easiest. The yellow wire powers the DRL. You'll notice that it does not have a ground when installing it into the AR-600 Switch box under the hood; that's because its wiring shares a ground with the main output of the light bar.
So I've just tried to do this but I keep getting the error that the software load was unsuccessful. Is it something to do with my USB drive or the version of the software I'm using? For context I own a 2022 Outback Touring in Australia.
Happy new year mate!
Thank you! You too! All the best to you!
I can't find your video on how you wired in you light bar to your switch panel...Help
That video is dropping tomorrow!
Thank you for making this video. I’m planning on seeing if a switch I bought will go next to the parking brake vs the switch panel on the left of the steering wheel. If it works, many people gonna be happy.
I hope it goes well!
Are these ck or non ck?
Great video thank you. I have a question. I used it for my 2024 Impreza and on the back hatch I can’t get the black rubber tube or grommet back over the white plastic insert. Is there a trick to doing that? I’ve been trying on and off for two weeks. Thanks
I mention in the video that there are some tabs where the rubber grommet must line up with the cut outs in the white plastic insert. The white plastic insert can be popped out with a trim removal tool or carefully with a flat head screw driver. It's much easier to remove the white plastic insert, get the grommet attached then snap the whole thing back into place. Trying to attach the grommet while the white insert is in place is going to be much more difficult.
Did your crosstrek come with that storage net next to your knee by the shifter?
No. It's an add on net that I found on Amazon. Its attached via velcro to the carpet.
Is this the same process for a Touring model since the Touring has vented seats as a choice and other models don't?
It should be
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing, I will be installing a dash cam and thought that it was going to be a nightmare trying to find info on a 2024 crosstrek. This def makes my install much less stressful. Thanks again.
My pleasure. I wish you luck.
Hi wildtrek, I followed your installation, but I cannot adjust my mirror, did it work for you???
Yes, my mirror adjustments work fine. Make sure that the fuses are properly seated. Also make sure none of the fuses are blown.
I am unable to yank my center console out, despite having removed the gear knob and opening up the armrest compartment ;( Any ideas what else might be blocking it? Apart from pulling on the cupholder I tried prying the whole trim piece up with trim tools inserted from both sides, but nothing's worked.
You got to lift using the centre console cup holders. If you watch the position of my hands, you kinda push the sides of the cup holders while you pull up. You'll need more force than you think to unclip it.
@@wildxtrek I just gave up and pried it open from the back (armrest side) using the non-scratching trim tool I bought :P
2023 Forester Premium Automatic Transmission - I dropped a key on the gear shift center console near the gear shift. The key SLID out of sight in the rear direction. The gear shift works perfectly without any interference. Do I have to bring the car to the shop to have them take apart the consote so as to get that loose key out. OR.....can I just let it stay where it is and not have any problem. I'm hoping it simply slid into a plastic cavity.
The centre console layout is a bit different in the Forester, but the concept of removing the console should be the same. Removing the console doesn't void any warranties. I'd at least try.
My 2017 Subaru Impreza doesn’t have the full casing this one has, just the lower part, so I prized mine off from the bottom.
At 23:29, did you just tuck the wire into that rear pillar there or did you lace the wire behind it? Also is running the rear camera wire near the side curtain airbags as you did going to effect the deployment at all?
I laced the wires BEHIND all airbags. This way when they deploy, the wire doesn't get in the way.
I also have a Crosstrek. Did the same thing you did initially but then I checked again when I removed the weatherstripping a week later to check on it and I noticed the wire had shifted into the path of the airbags. Due to this, I ordered a longer rear camera wire on amazon and just tucked the wire underneath the trim at the bottom of the doors. Also, I just watched again and at 22:11 I can see you tucking in the wire directly in the path of the airbag in that center pillar there which is right in front of the explosive charge that sets off the airbag. This will cause the wire to be “yeeted out” in the case of a side impact. Just look up the crash test footage for your vehicle and you’ll see what I mean. The side airbag is all one piece from front to back. You might want to rewire it like I did if you don’t want to risk getting a wire launched at you or having your camera ripped out of place or wire severed during a crash.
@@wildxtrek Also I used 5 zip-ties to secure the camera cables to the wire harness behind the airbag of in the A-pillar section. That way it’s basically guaranteed the wires won’t shift out of place in front of the airbag.
I have all the same equipment, but my fuses dont fit, idk whats happening. Update* For some reason that fuse will not fit, i used the one that had longer prongs. That unfortunately cant accomodate the fuses that were selected in the video. I just kept switching with the open slots until parking mode toggled properly. I think middle and one of the right ones. I couldn't access the rear wiring tube easily. I settled with just going along the trunk liner until the middle. Hid the excess in that panel that was slighly removed in the rear. Theres a little bit more wire showing, and it's needed to extend when the trunk is opened. But for the most part it's short enough that it doesnt hang far from the top, doesnt obstruct rear viewing.
Great video, Thanks! Im installing the camera on my Crosstreak Wilderness. Do you experience any vibrations on the back cam being mounted on the plastic trim vs glass? Is it staying in place well? Thanks again! 👍🏼
Thanks for the video! I recently got a new 2024 WRX and was wondering where to put my camera due to it coming standard with eyesight. I’m gonna put mine on passenger side, opposite of where you put yours. Thanks again!
Too many freaking ads can't even watch your video!!!!
Thanks for making this video. I just bought a 2024 Crosstrek Limited and there is few or poorly detailed videos on the internet for tutorials specific for the 2024 model Crosstreks for aftermarket anything.
This does not work at all ,,,,,,,, The software is not recognised in the head unit
Did you know the part number for the piano black piece?
Nice video. I have a 24 Outback wilderness and ordered a dongar adapter and the Viofo A119 mini 2. Thinking about ordering this one instead and a hardwire kit though. I just worry about draining the battery. Can you adjust the options to limit the power it uses when parked?
Thank you so much. Are we supposed to take the flash drive out before we start the car again after the update?
thanks was able to update my 2022 wilderness. took about 20mins way faster then the taking to the dealer.
Can different trim level like crosstrek sport be swapped the rear bumper with the wilderness???
I did the update process and it worked correctly. The process was very simple and took 40 minutes in my Outback Limited 2022. Upgrade a Software version: FB1SMM141-280, using a 32GB USB. Thank you so much, the Subaru dealer in Medellín Colombia does not provide this service.
Thanks for this video. I just got two Viofo A329. I already installed the first one on my 2020 Nissan Murano and it was a bit painful without any video (like this). The second one is going to be installed on my 2024 Crosstrek this weekend. It will be a lot easier for sure!
Any issues after a few months?
Thanks for posting the video was really helpful. Picked up a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and wanting to install a dash cam, not sure which brand yet but now have an idea what's involved.
Did exactly what you said to do and updated my wife's 2022 OB with nav. The map is still small? Should I redownload the High version again and try again? or take it to the dealer? Thanks for the video it is great.
Great Video! Thank you! Two Questions. 1. I totally understand your choice to place the camera to the left of Eyesight, but can you wedge the cables along the gap between the Eyesight and the rest of the rear-view mirror shroud piece for a right-side placement? 2. Can you run the cable underneath the door sills instead of overhead for the back camera? I know you must go back 'up' to hit the hatch door, but I was thinking to avoid the rear curtain airbag. I have a '24 Impreza RS.
So much easier to use a PNP harness that connects to the eyesight wiring.
Is the cover duct (the corner part with the reflector) removable without removing the entire bumper first?
YT algorithms finally doing their job. I just bought this model & package and also have a crosstrek
I have this light. And have no idea where does the yellow wire connect to. Help pleaseee.
How did each of you figure out which head unit you have between base, mid and high?
Awesome thank you I just got one a few days ago and I will be install it in my 3500 pickup.
Is it better to mount the rear camera on the panel or the rear glass?
Any reason you didn’t use the harness that connects into the overhead console to provide wiring for the WebCam?
Yes. I have the optional auto dimming mirror. So that harness was occupied.
I have this same light on my 4wheeler. Absolutely love it.
Will this work on a Dodge Ram ?
Such an excellent video thx so much
2020 OB Touring. About a couple years ago I was got an email from Subaru w Tutorial. Very easy. No thumb drive needed.
I have a 2020 Outback but I have a Mac that doesn’t format the USB drive to NTFS. What are my options?
You can use the extended format on Mac and it works through Disk Utility application that comes with OS.
