    Great video.... I'm a manager at a Subaru dealership, and we train all of our salespeople to go over 90% of these features to the customer during our delivery process. You don't know how many times we hear people say " I had the same radio in my last Subaru but the salesperson at the last dealership didn't tell us any of these things." Our average delivery process takes anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour. Our guys and girls go over EVERYTHING with our customers. We even call them 2 weeks later to follow up to see if they have any other questions and to set up a "re delivery" on the cars if they want to. Most customers do not come in for a refresh on the buttons, but we normally get like 3 or 4 a month come back so we can go over a few things with them.

      Going through everything on delivery was a waste of my time and I already knew more than the salesperson did for my model and trim. Might be uncommon for your typical buyer but was pretty frustrating as they "had to go through the motions". I let them take up ten minutes of my time before politely told them to let me drive home and I'll figure it out later.

    Here's a trick I discovered. Say you're sitting at a red light, ASS has shut off the motor and AVH is holding the brake on. You see the light is about to change and you want the engine to start ahead of tapping the gas (which also releases AVH). Just give the steering wheel a little left/right shake. It will trigger the engine to start but still keep AVH engaged. Especially useful for those XT owners who want a quick launch from the light. 😏

    I want to comment on why the recirculation mode is important. In hot weather when using the air conditioner you definitely want to recirculate the air in the cabin. The air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard and it might even prevent it from freezing up in humid conditions. More importantly, in cold weather you do NOT want to recirculate the air. The windows will begin to condensate due to the warmth in the car and your warm exhalation of breath. Fresh air will prevent this from occurring. The next time you see a car with the windows fogged up you will know why.

      Using the recirc mode when the car is cold, will get the cabin up to temperature faster than vent mode. Once the car is somewhat warm you can then switch to vent mode to prevent window fogging.

    I have the same questions as others have commented. Why is there not a recirculate button and A/C options on the bottom of the screen for easy access. I've often hit the recirculate when driving through very dusty conditions. Same with the redundant heated seats settings on my 2020 Outback. There are too many distractions from driving to do something that should be simple. Hope Subaru recognizes and makes appropriate fixes. All the safety features can't make up for all the distracting touch screen motions. I have an Outback and I think the Forester has a much better interface.

    • @paulsmith9198
      @paulsmith9198 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree. It is dangerously distracting sometimes to try to monkey with the settings on the touchscreen while driving. Unfortunately, the only workaround I have is to move from my 2023 Outback to the 2017 Outback I passed down to my daughter where these are all still easy to use buttons.

    • @rickk7332
      @rickk7332 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean that you should. These screen features are great if you’re the passenger however, they become a liability if you drive alone. Any features that are commonly accessed while driving should be relegated to physical buttons and dials for the sake of safety. Possibly moved to the steering wheel area like the media controls already are.

    One thing I discovered with Apple CarPlay, if you have a VPN on your phone, CarPlay will disconnect. It took me ages to work that out, even the Subaru dealer didn't know about it when I got the car serviced. They just blamed the cable. Now if only I could get the firmware to update on the display, I'd be really happy.

    • @snowbeepboop

      Omg thank you for sharing this. I had no idea. I kept thinking it was my cable or the software in the unit itself since people always complain about this. I was also told that bluetooth will disconnect CarPlay as well, but sometimes it would still disconnect even with bluetooth off so it's good to know that VPN can affect it as well!

Did you know that if you use an Android phone, the maps are very small, about 3 x 8. I had to contact Subaru Customer service to find that that's normal. They have no fix for the problem.

    Since several people reading these comments are new to Subaru, it's worth mentioning the "secret" button on the rear hatch to unlock your vehicle without the key. I know you've got a separate video for this somewhere, but it's worth mentioning. It's not obvious, and not everyone is prepared to read a 600 page owner's manual!

    But my model (2022 Outback XT Onyx) does not have the one button seat warmer function. I have to go into the full touch screen to set it, which is a few steps too many. Same when turning off (they get quite hot quickly...).
    Yes, maybe a small criticism, but still wish it was as in this video. (I've searched to see if I am wrong, but didn't find anything.)

    Hey Alex not sure if you've mentioned this but I found this out by accident, but when your stopped at a light with your foot on the brake, you can turn the cruise control on, and then when you press down or up on the set or resume set speed, it'll do a temporary hold on the breaks like the AVH, you can even set your speed while your foot is on the break, so when you are stopped you can set your speed you want without having to drive and set it

    Thanks for these tips. I've watched a number of your videos and found them helpful. One question, what are your thoughts on updating software at home vs taking to the dealer?

If it's safe to do so, could you post a video showing the process? Thanks!

    • @notme232
      @notme232 ปีที่แล้ว

      1) the update you see for the 2023 models hasn't rolled out to earlier cars (and no word if it ever will...)
      2) Updating at home is fine, just expect to idle for a while, if you have a good wifi signal were ever you park, or a garage with wifi, then easy, (just open the garage door to let fumes out). If not, I used my phone hot spot and it worked fine.
      3) For auto hold, I've found setting cruise control while stopped will put the car into auto hold. Sometimes, I'll do that instead of clicking through the display. This way I enable it right from the steering wheel, when it's time to go, I turn it off and if I forget, cruise is adaptive so it won't slam into the car in front.

    Very informative stuff. Thank you. I have a 2023 Outback Premier XT. Picked it up Oct 22 and have had it into the shop almost every month for issues. After the new software came out this past spring they installed the newest OS / firmware. Far more probs now. Specifically with the driver recognition and seat / mirror position recall. When we first picked up the car, the facial recognition auto set both the mirrors and the seat for each profile. Now it only does it with the manual buttons on the drivers door. Annoying. And what is far more annoying is the drivers side mirror no longer repositions for reverse. This is something that my new cars have done for the past 25 + years. To boot, the drivers side is flat and not convexed so it is impossible to have one single position for both forward and reverse. Reading a lot of contradictory articles and Dealership is giving me nothing but nonsense. Curious as to what your thoughts may be. Also, I have been told that the remotes can be set to recall each profile but can't find anything conclusive on that either. Cheers.

      Hey! This part of a software update for the Outback. Reference TSB: 15-305-22R when you go into your Subaru service dept. The advisor likely won’t be familiar with it off-hand because Subaru sends out multiple updates but they can look it up for you. 2020-2024 now have the ability to have the AVH shortcut

    For auto hold, instead of the specific setting (which my car doesn't have the home screen button for), setting cruise when completely stopped will also enable auto-hold. Sometimes if I'm at a long light or stuck at a train, I'll set cruise to 20mph, activating auto-hold. When it's time to go, I turn it off. If I happen to forget and hit gas first, cruise is adaptive so it won't speed into a car in front of me, or because it's only set to 20mph, it's not like I'm going to get very far.

    Well done as usual Alex!
    I will add two related "secrets" working on both my MY 2023 Outback Touring and on my son's MY 2022 Outback Touring.
    1. Press and hold the "warmer" and "cooler" buttons on the passenger side and tap the "tune" knob twice, then release everything.
    The display will go into the "dealer" mode and show various info, of which I find the voltage useful.
    2. If you do the above, but tap the "tune" knob six times instead of two, you will get even more info.
    Also, regarding our "favourite" Auto Start Stop: I find it much less intrusive than I thought it would be. It doesn't stop the engine when the wheels are turned a bit, and any movement of the brake pedal re-activates the engine. I rarely switch it off now.

    If the screen gets glitchy , press the on/of button for 10 seconds or so to reset.
    In Canada, the speed limit is posted in kilometers per/hour. The OB converts that on the speed limit display
    to show the correct speed limit in MPH.

    2. Early on, when you first reviewed the changes to the 11.5" screen, you mentioned the possibility of an update for the 2020-2022 models. I'd love to have the seat controls on the home screen like that as opposed to buried a layer deep in the menu system. Can you confirm whether or not this is the case? Thanks.
