@@Dr.Ticklebum69 get a intake and catless downpipe and a invida Q300 all you'll hear is turbo spool and intake suction and a decent FA20 exhaust note thank me later
Thanks for the great tips. The hill assist for the experienced driver is super annoying and you're right, the base factory radio is the worst I've ever heard in my life.
settings in your car: turning off hill assist, changing your stereo settings, setting the date/time on the clock car modification: adding a spoiler, adding mudflaps, replacing stereo head unit, installing new wheels, installing an intake if you need further explanation, a modification changes the car. turning off hill assist is a built in feature of the car, as is changing the sound settings. trunk rattle fix is the only actual mod really, but I've never had that issue with my 15 limited wrx
Got used to the hill assist to be honest, does not really bother me but I understand the need to take it off. I live in some hilly areas so the hill assist is just a bonus for me lol. Great video btw thanks for the stereo tips.
That is correct. Both of the dashboard tweeters and the 6.5"s in the front and rear doors. It is well worth doing since Subaru wants stupid money for the upgraded system. Look up "Marcel Kinard" on TH-cam. He has an excellent guide on how to do this.
Mark Rayos you are on crack if you think it makes a difference launching lmao! You going into space 🚀? Not sure but 99% sure that no one is laughing up a hill lol
+matt karwacki I already know this is going to be a waste of time but let me help you out. Hill assist activates even when the road is slightly uneven (as vid correctly points out). So when launching on a somewhat flat surface that's slightly uneven, the brake still continues to feel engaged at the start of a launch. Make sense? If you don't understand or don't believe what the vid points out, 1) do you even own a 2015+ wrx/sti with hill assist, and 2) if yes to #1, have you compared track times between the two settings?? If you don't believe what someone says, that's fine. That's on you. But if you wanna troll, you might wanna cover your bases and know what someone's talking about. You can resume your online trolling duties.
Okay online serial killer go touch some dolls or something iv had a Subaru before you were even planned lil boy and for your track times I'll blow your doors off with my fuckin hand brake on so go take a nap somewhere before stroke out when you read this because I know you gonnna be butt hurt pretty sure you might like it that way goodnight mr track time
I took this car for a test drive the other day and was wondering why first gear felt so weird to get out of on even the little inclines. I didn’t put two and two together until now. 😂 I was really trippen out. good to know
Dude, for real...thank you. That damn hill assist makes the normal feathering of the clutch and take-off so annoying. I learned to drive manual before automatic and this by far was one of the most irritating adaptions to a car until this change. So thank you!
Competely agree about hill assist. Never had a problem on hills with my Prelude or S2K, but the hill assist in my STI doesn't feel natural at all. Sometimes it actives on the slightest incline, and it completely throws me off. Turned it off, and now it feels much more natural and I feel like I have more control over the car
In my 18' WRX the hill assist only engages when you depress the brake pedal all the way and hold. When you brake to stop, if you switch to e-brake after stopping the hill assist won't engage when you set off again.
OMG! The hill start assist can be a friend, but most of the time is a pain in the arse! My question is (probably self explanatory) how do you reengage it? I assume you just go through the same steps to disengage it?
High-mount brake light rattle and sound settings are not mods. Hill start assist can easily be disabled on the fly by simply letting go of the brake before you clutch in. If the incline is as gradual as you claim it to be, then the car won't roll anywhere. I can't understand why anyone would ever want to permanently disable that feature. I go up and down a 12% grade hill in stop n go traffic twice each day. Hill start assist is a life saver.
For us suckers with the previous gen WRX (non STI) here's the best way how to defeat the damn hill assist. Open up the center console. Find the switch that is pressed in by the hand brake when the hand brake is disengaged. Engage the brake so the switch pops up. Loosen the screw holding the switch and rotate the switch so it won't engage when you release the brake. Tighten the screw to hold the switch in this position and put your center console back on. The car will the think the hand brake is engaged and will not use hill assist. Your brake light will be on. This method doesn't mess with your RPMs like keeping the clutch switch pressed in.
People are saying disabling hill assist fixes the rev hang. Tried turning it off and it made no difference. And I don't find the hill assist invasive at all. I wouldn't mind turning it off, but having the hill assist light is annoying
...that's where the owner's manual comes into play. I'm hoping you've thumbed through it at least once to gain some sort of idea of what is in the car and you know where to find info on changing things. The Starlink in my '19 is not user friendly and required in depth reading to navigate all the junk.
i find the hill assist in my 18 to be amazing... maybe they updated the system? it definitely isnt as sensitive as your describing, and it releases immediately. it feels like its reading my mind.
Yeah, stereo settings are a must for the stock head unit. The factory settings are awful. The base head unit is pretty crappy sounding, but changes to the levels can help it quite a bit.
yeh i agree when i pull of i hear a weird clicking or strange sound to describe , but anyways i am suspicious it is my hill assist also, Honda City/Ballade 2015 model..... so i will try to do the whole hold and press traction control for a minute and then again for a few more seconds
Imre Csoka that clutch clicking sound is actually somewhat normal. I've had it come up twice in 2 years. I looked it up and found that while at a stop, just stab the clutch pedal really quickly and hard 2 or 3 times and poof! fixed. Not sure what it fixes or why but probably something to do with hydraulic pressure.
Who knows. ...but what i do know is that cars cost a fortune here in South Africa its really sickening. Some are even manufactured here and we sell them off cheaper an then sell them for x2 or more here, its really insane. Either the presidents are making money or somebody else is doing dirty deals. Unfair system , really. Have to say though, many of the new cars are really cheaply made, i mean if i compare my Opel Corsa 1999 model which was assembled here , the metal is far superior and the windows the way they wind up and just small stuff and maybe even big stuff, i dont know man. Really dont believe u have to pay so much for vehicles and maybe even top=overhead for better build cars. Oh, i did the press and hold traction control button but i cant turn mine off. No idea if it can be done. I believe my Honda being the Ballade model is the same as the City version in some countries.
Good old capitalism. Introduce a quality product; build the name; then slowly reduce quality and cut corners, build somewhere cheap; all while slowly raising prices. The Ballade is called the Civic in the U.S. and it's still considered a quality car for the money. Base price maybe $17,000. Our median income is about $45,000 per year. Most of our imported Japanese cars, with the exception of Mazda and Mitsu, and well-made and hold up very well. Whereas our domestic brands (which are rarely built in US anymore, usually Mexico or Canada) seem to lose quality every damn year. Chrysler seems to be the worst, I think the only reason they're still in business is because they produce cheap muscle cars. People here don't seem to care that their $40,000 400hp Challenger will fall apart in less than ten years because of the incentives at purchase than make it seem like a good deal. I don't get it. I'm very happy with my Subaru that I paid sticker price for, being that it's a $30,000 30mpg 300hp AWD car that could last me 30 years.
And now im watching a video on how to re-seat a bathroom tap. I just changed the washer on this old thing and the taps stopped leaking but now the cold tap feels like rock hard and u need to really use force to tighten it...this has been a few days now and the bloody tap is leaking, fs. I need to fork out 3 or 400 rand to buy this device and hope it works. Else i can just go to the builders warehouse/like home depot i guess.... and see if there are any guys from Zimbabwe or locals that can help me with the job. Really a pain and things just cost a fortune these days your damn sallary doesnt last you enough to even save, really depressing. Yes Mexico / Brazil are the places that most or some of the Opel / Vauxhal / Chev stuff comes from i believe. At least for SA. Some stuff still made in Germany. Yah. Im going to sleep now man goodnight.
Hold the button, after a few seconds the Trac. mode light will go off, 30 or more seconds later the light to the right of the first light will also go off, quickly let go of the button and press it again and hold it for about 5 seconds, the light all the way to the right will go on and turn off. Turn the car off and back on and the light to the right will stay on, meaning hill assist is turned off.
96accord I agree 100% This should be an option in the settings you can disable if you don't want it. I'd disable mine but I'm completely OCD and don't want a yellow idiot light on in the corner all the time : /
i agree, ive never experienced braking on a flat, at all, due to the assist. Also, if you have issues with hill starts, you should probably not be driving a mantran car of any sort, let alone an MT wrx. One more thing, pushing a button isn't a mod, jussayin.
Jack Long because I've been driving for 24 years, most of it on a manual, and a helluva lot of it was in San Francisco. I can heel toe, I can double cluch. synchronized, un synchronized, clutchless throttle blip shifts? done it. whatever you got i can drive it. I've driven sports cars, 50,000 GVW trucks. not one of these previous vehicles has "hill assist" your ebrake is your hill assist, if you need to cheat because the incline is steep. you don't need that shit. I just bought a 2017 WRX, and I stalled it Three times off the lights coming home. Dafuq is this shenanigans?! the first time I was like... ok, brand new cluch, new car, just don't have the friction point yet, and that horrid non linear accelerator curve is catching me out. third time I was about to turn around and bring the thing back to the dealer, something didn't feel right. got home and Googled "my 2017 6 speed WRX stalls when leaving stoplights." BOOM... people bitching about hill assist. WTF hill assist!? really? like on those newer big rig tractors? passenger cars need this?! what happened to the old ebrake trick, what are they teaching kids these days? oh yeah this is the same generation that puts so much negative camber on their axles that their ride looks like a spastic baby giraffe... ok... got it...hill assist. now, how do you turn that shit the fuck off? novel idea, read manual... watch you tube video. then porn, take shower. eat something, drink beer. OK, where was I???? oh yeah... deamon hill assist. a somewhat complicated button pushing sequence later and a permanent orange silhouette of the Duke boys pulling their signature move on my dash later... it's off. go for a spin. WONDERFUL. it works properly now, and love the car. I've christened him my lil' T-rex ( get it? T WRX... anyone? OK nevermind, fuck you I hate you. jk. you are alright.) next subaru... let's chat about how 30% accelerator pedal equals WOT.
I have drove manual for 18 years and just bought a 17 WRX 2 weeks ago. My driveway is a decline and the first time i went to leave i noticed it was holding the brake for me. I find it to be awesome. I havent stalled the car once and the brake assist have never came on when im on flat ground. Btw, i try to keep my pedal around 10% and im getting 31mpg already
OKAY lets say i wanna try to turn off HILL ASSIST just to see if it makes a difference in the driving experience and feels, HOW DO YOU TURN IT BACK ON?
You can double click the button on your key fob to open all doors unless your talking about the keyless part then ive had the same issue on the premium 16 au model so iv just left it and do it the long way by opening one door and pushing the unlock button lol. You can also use the function of your boot button to leave your key in the car if you haven't found it that's a cool little feature if you go to the beach and don't want to bring any of your keys you just use a code on the boot button. Just don't forget the number of pushes when you do it.
I have an horsepower gaining free MOD for you. Remove the intake silencer aka milk jug from the bottom of your factory air box. There are a couple videos here on TH-cam to show you how. You will literally have a free cold air intake. (Don't plug the hole!) 5HP to the wheels easily.
Dude that hill assist sucks. I noticed after trying to smooth out my "from a stop" and "1st to second" shifts that I could NEVER get it to go smooth. I could literally feel the clutch hit the friction zone, but instead of allowing me to drive my damn car, it would just sit there for about a second, then, without letting any more clutch out, it would start to pull. This sucks, because basically you have a bunch of stuff going on while you're letting the clutch out, whereas it should just be "release clutch, accelerate". Instead, you have "release clutch, car computer figures out if hill assist is needed, possibly holds brake, ensures everything is OK, then finally lets the clutch do its job". Finally, after learning I could turn it off, I can finally actually drive my car by feel, as it should be. There's NOTHING in between me and the clutch. It's so smooth and responsive now. Hill assist is for pussies.
He saved the insult for the last sentence. Tactful, and quite the opposite of "instantly", as you say. His complaint is very valid, and one that I share. Subaru's implementation of hill assist ends up engaging far more than necessary. Even worse, it feels so unnatural, and just damn annoying - basically what KA-47 was saying in fewer words.
My wrx is my first car as well as the car I learned to drive stick on. For the first two weeks I had the car I was certain I was retarded. Turned off hill assist and realized that I was actually very good at it already thanks to the experience of shifting from 2-3 3-4 4-5 with hill assist on. Now I will say that it is a tricky clutch but, it is much easier to learn it when you’ve turned off hill assist
Spend $30,000 on a new car and disable features that come with the price tag... smh lol and tries to justify it as "I'm so good at manual I don't need it"
That's where that damn rattle comes from! This is a god send thank you.
the only music you should be listening too is that turbo spooling up
@@Dr.Ticklebum69 get a intake and catless downpipe and a invida Q300 all you'll hear is turbo spool and intake suction and a decent FA20 exhaust note thank me later
Thanks for the great tips. The hill assist for the experienced driver is super annoying and you're right, the base factory radio is the worst I've ever heard in my life.
After seven years you’re still saving lives….that rattling fix on break light worked like a charm..thanks man 🎉
Thanks for the rattle fix. It was driving me crazy and I didn’t know where it was coming from
These aren't mods, these are settings on your car lol..
Steven Garcia do you know what the word "modification" means?
jrizpeace there is a huge difference between settings in your car vs car modifications. I think it's you that doesn't know what a car modification is.
Steven Garcia Please explain the difference for us who are not as enlightened as you.
settings in your car: turning off hill assist, changing your stereo settings, setting the date/time on the clock
car modification: adding a spoiler, adding mudflaps, replacing stereo head unit, installing new wheels, installing an intake
if you need further explanation, a modification changes the car. turning off hill assist is a built in feature of the car, as is changing the sound settings.
trunk rattle fix is the only actual mod really, but I've never had that issue with my 15 limited wrx
Steven Garcia what about changing the volume on the radio?
Got used to the hill assist to be honest, does not really bother me but I understand the need to take it off. I live in some hilly areas so the hill assist is just a bonus for me lol. Great video btw thanks for the stereo tips.
i didnt know about the hill assist, but you turned a 60 second video into a 10 min ramble. ty for the hill assist disable.
Thank you so much. This was really interfering with my driving. Constant stalling in first because of the break being gently applied...
You are 100% right about the stock stereo being trash. I spent 80 bucks on some Pioneer tweeters and speakers and it made a world of difference.
Va Vo you kept the stock head unit and just changes speakers?
That is correct. Both of the dashboard tweeters and the 6.5"s in the front and rear doors. It is well worth doing since Subaru wants stupid money for the upgraded system. Look up "Marcel Kinard" on TH-cam. He has an excellent guide on how to do this.
Va Vo cool man thanks for the reply.
My pleasure. It's a mod that is 100% worth doing.
do you have a link to the speakers you bought?
Thank you bunchez for the tip on getting rid of the sub rattle... A piece of an old torn towel did wonders!!!
holy shit. i just picked your video at random, and you help with that last problem. thanks man.
Lenn Fabien Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
1 rattle down... 50 more to go. I swear the plastics on these cars should have a Fisher Price stamp.
That last tip really helped. Thanks
deactivating that hill assist really made a huge difference! launching always felt a bit off now it's smooth! thx for the tip
Mark Rayos you are on crack if you think it makes a difference launching lmao! You going into space 🚀? Not sure but 99% sure that no one is laughing up a hill lol

great video. while explaining about the third brake light..."oh... I just popped it loose". lmfao!

The hill assist in my 2019 let’s the brakes go as soon as I let off the clutch pedal a TINY amount - well before the clutch starts to grab.
Finally! I've hated that thing since day one. p.s also works on my sti 👍
Thanks, I've owned 2 WRX with the rattle. I wiill fix it this afternoon.
Good info but the hill assist does not enable unless you fully engage the brake all the way down. So just don't smash your brake at every light?
Competely agree about hill assist. Never had a problem on hills with my Prelude or S2K, but the hill assist in my STI doesn't feel natural at all. Sometimes it actives on the slightest incline, and it completely throws me off. Turned it off, and now it feels much more natural and I feel like I have more control over the car

Thank you.this especially sucks on my stage 3 clutch
Item 2: graphic EQ = just hold right 'tune' button down for about 5 seconds to set to that screen
now i k is why it rattles .But i heard there was a subaru offical TSB for a subwoofer rattle idk if it's the same issue
I disabled hill assist and i love my car even more now thats broski
I love it I did it the car works better 2018 wrx
I'm gonna check out the hill assist thing but the rest of them aren't an issue
The first one the cvt already had it activated 😂
I just did this to my 19 sti and traction control wont show up anymore or track mode and the hill descent didnt appear

Do not disable hill assist it's designed to protect your clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing. No matter how skilled you are
no that is what hand brake is for.
Why turn off something you paid for? it's really useful. I hate being scared of rolling back into someone. Just get used to it.
Meaty Jon because I hate when it holds me back on flat ground. I don't worry about rolling back into someone even in the hills of down town Seattle.
Meaty Jon learn how to drive a stick and you won't have to worry about rolling back
I drive stick.
and they made it so you had to hold it so someone doesnt press it or you do on accident and you go rolling into a car lol
Yeah, stereo settings are a must for the stock head unit. The factory settings are awful. The base head unit is pretty crappy sounding, but changes to the levels can help it quite a bit.

OK, where was I???? oh yeah... deamon hill assist. a somewhat complicated button pushing sequence later and a permanent orange silhouette of the Duke boys pulling their signature move on my dash later... it's off.
go for a spin.
WONDERFUL. it works properly now, and love the car. I've christened him my lil' T-rex ( get it? T WRX... anyone? OK nevermind, fuck you I hate you. jk. you are alright.)
next subaru... let's chat about how 30% accelerator pedal equals WOT.
I have drove manual for 18 years and just bought a 17 WRX 2 weeks ago. My driveway is a decline and the first time i went to leave i noticed it was holding the brake for me. I find it to be awesome. I havent stalled the car once and the brake assist have never came on when im on flat ground. Btw, i try to keep my pedal around 10% and im getting 31mpg already
same never had a problem with hill assist. It has only been helpful. Only kicks on when I would agree that its needed
No Flat Earth theories here please
I’m just reading through the comments and the complaining and I’m laughing cause my WRX has none of the friggin problems everyone else has😂
The car feels way better with hill assist disabled!
OKAY lets say i wanna try to turn off HILL ASSIST just to see if it makes a difference in the driving experience and feels, HOW DO YOU TURN IT BACK ON?
@H.A.A.Z. same process.
Basically ... basically omg basically
How do you turn the hill assist back on?
Press the button for 60 seconds
justin weyburn gone in 60 seconds🤙🏻
Do you happen to know how to change the settings on the keyless entry to unlock all the doors with one press?
Sean McArdle it's a setting in your menu
I checked every option in my menu and it's missing.
It should be in the menu where your boost gauge is. It won't be visible while you're moving, but when you're stopped, it's in there.
I think the car has to be turned off for the setting to be on. turn the car power on, but not the engine.
You can double click the button on your key fob to open all doors unless your talking about the keyless part then ive had the same issue on the premium 16 au model so iv just left it and do it the long way by opening one door and pushing the unlock button lol. You can also use the function of your boot button to leave your key in the car if you haven't found it that's a cool little feature if you go to the beach and don't want to bring any of your keys you just use a code on the boot button. Just don't forget the number of pushes when you do it.
2015 has different tadios than that one.....
This was nice vid but why you trying so hard to act cool
FOR FREE?!WOW!😂🤣
For free
The brake releases after a second your not burning anything please don’t tell others it has a purpose when it’s just your preference lmao
I guess your audio does suck since you don't have the upgraded system. You should have go the premium version
😂😂😂
To make the car RWD only you push and hold the traction control button for 5 minutes and then tap the cruise control button twice. (Lie)
Could've been a 3 minute video.
this is dumb. Ive never had it kick in on flat ground
I have an horsepower gaining free MOD for you. Remove the intake silencer aka milk jug from the bottom of your factory air box. There are a couple videos here on TH-cam to show you how. You will literally have a free cold air intake. (Don't plug the hole!) 5HP to the wheels easily.
Kimani Mimms 😂😂😂
I prefer my car to roll back a bit on slopes.
finger that hole.
"Re-enables hill assist when the video is over"
IamTheLeuz lol
all neck lol.
You lost me when you used "literally".
Comment what topic my next video should be!!
Car Comprehension add my MOD to your next video bro. I got it from someone on TH-cam just trying to pass it on.
Car Comprehension actual real mods and not settings changes
Dude that hill assist sucks. I noticed after trying to smooth out my "from a stop" and "1st to second" shifts that I could NEVER get it to go smooth. I could literally feel the clutch hit the friction zone, but instead of allowing me to drive my damn car, it would just sit there for about a second, then, without letting any more clutch out, it would start to pull. This sucks, because basically you have a bunch of stuff going on while you're letting the clutch out, whereas it should just be "release clutch, accelerate". Instead, you have "release clutch, car computer figures out if hill assist is needed, possibly holds brake, ensures everything is OK, then finally lets the clutch do its job". Finally, after learning I could turn it off, I can finally actually drive my car by feel, as it should be. There's NOTHING in between me and the clutch. It's so smooth and responsive now. Hill assist is for pussies.
Lol instantly insulting something/people that use it just because you can't figure out how to utilize it properly.
He saved the insult for the last sentence. Tactful, and quite the opposite of "instantly", as you say. His complaint is very valid, and one that I share. Subaru's implementation of hill assist ends up engaging far more than necessary. Even worse, it feels so unnatural, and just damn annoying - basically what KA-47 was saying in fewer words.
My wrx is my first car as well as the car I learned to drive stick on. For the first two weeks I had the car I was certain I was retarded. Turned off hill assist and realized that I was actually very good at it already thanks to the experience of shifting from 2-3 3-4 4-5 with hill assist on. Now I will say that it is a tricky clutch but, it is much easier to learn it when you’ve turned off hill assist
KA-47 the worst feeling was when you coast until you have to brake at a red light and as soon as you come to a full stop the light goes green.
Spend $30,000 on a new car and disable features that come with the price tag... smh lol and tries to justify it as "I'm so good at manual I don't need it"
