I have WiFi off, so it must be Starlink (I don’t have Sirius). I’m not subscribed to Starlink so there is no reason for the message to be displayed. Hopefully the latest update gets rid of the annoying message for me. Does anyone know if WiFi does anything? I know over the air updates aren’t being pushed.

Ok, couple new ones, and I think they're related more to an update of AA. And they ruined the user experience. If this means Subaru has to get on Google to fix it....
These are voice to text problems. 1) Car hardly ever hears the command I give when asking for a confirmation. Like "Reply, or cancel" I say "Reply". "Reply or cancel?" "reply". "I'm sorry, I don't understand." I really think the timing from the time it finishes asking to the time it begins hearing is either too short, or no longer happening. What makes me say this is: 2) Voice to text - it captures itself saying "What's your message" and appends it to the front of the text that I'm dictating. --kC |

I've uninstalled and reinstalled AA on my phone. I also went into the settings and noticed it had me same car listed three times. I cleared ALL of them out and re-connected. Seemed a little more peppy.
I just have another issue with AA recognizing "OK Google". I did the setup after reinstall where you have to say it three times, but it just won't turn on. --kC |

At this point I'm already mentally budgeting the $500 or so in two years when the bumper-to-bumper warranty is up, so I can rip this turd stereo out and put an Alpine or something decent in. Or who knows, maybe software update #8 will fix all the problems :P |

Agreed I am with you on the replacement. I just know there are a few programable functions in the base model (6") that you can lose, like the door lock flashers, and the turn signal (blink 3 times) option. At this point if I start my car, wait the 15 seconds for the phone to connect to the stereo via bluetooth, THEN plug in the phone, that seems pretty reliable as far as establishing a reliable CarPlay connection. It is just a nuisance when you are in and out of the car so much. |

I can't imagine only using CarPlay and not having my phone paired. I don't always want to plug my phone in, and often BT is good enough. (Not to mention, in my case, I get a fair number of little audio crackles on CarPlay that don't occur over BT.) |

There are times I don't plug the phone into AA, so... having BT, I can still make necessary HandsFree calls while it's in my back or jacket pocket. --kC |

I generally find this the case as well, but in the last month, I’ve been plugging in my phone prior to starting the car and CarPlay has worked in every case except for 1. There is definitely something going on where the system gets confused if it tries to initialize CarPlay during boot. Why plugging in first is working, I have no idea. The 2 differences from before is that I got an iPhone X and I got the latest firmware installed. Too bad Subaru/Harmon Kardon can’t fix this by simply delaying looking for anything on USB until it is fully booted. |

Do we know if the electronics problems we're fixed for 18? Just curious. I've had my 18 limited for about a month and 500 miles and so far everything seems perfect, even in the extreme cold.
Can't say the same about my base 16 I had before. The Bluetooth connection would mess up quite frequently and the time to connect with pretty high. Also when first turned in you had to wait like 30 seconds to press any buttons. My 18 works pretty much instantly. |

HU has been great, until a couple weeks ago.
While in AA, I have Waze on, and a notification comes in from anywhere (not text, just an app notification ding), the speakers go to the rear, and the HU gets stuck on "Map Volume". I can't get out of it to get back to volume control for the radio. While this problem has existed, I have tried almost every kind of combination, turning off/on again, etc.... stays in map. Heck, I've even shut off the car, opened the door, closed the door, and started again, and it's stuck in Map still (how long for it to actually reset? Even this morning, I stopped and locked the car, went in to get my coffee, restarted, and it was still stuck in Map Volume. "OK Google, increase volume" - "Action not supported" (I thought it used to do this...). I've also unplugged my phone completely while driving, bluetooth on (and also off)... stuck in map. That it happened suddenly, while it may be due to an update to AA on my phone that doesn't "release" the map volume control back to the radio, I'm still leaning that it's a Subaru HU issue, because of above... I can disconnect my phone completely and it *still* stays in Map Volume. That shouldn't happen. One thing I'd love to see programmed into the HU is separate volume controls like my aftermarket Pioneer HU in my BRZ. If you hit volume, both guidance and radio come up and each can be adustet separately. If there was a way to get the Subaru HU to do that... that would fix this issue (maybe... it has to release the audio yo the full car instead of just the rear speakers). Oh, and https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho...&postcount=421 doing that trick (Google Maps, destination) doesn't release it anymore. My HU was updated between then and now maybe a month or two after that post. --kC |

Played even more with it and I *think* I have the fault nailed. It only happens if I get a notification if, a) it's on RADIO (i.e. FM) and a notification chime plays while WAZE is running on the screen. It won't get out of MAP volume.
I was able to do the switch to GoogleMaps and directions today, and it went back to normal volume control. So, *shrug* about earlier. However, when I went back to radio, and back to waze, and another notification came in, it didn't release the volume again. Stayed on map volume. I think this is a HU issue, as the FM channel is not part of AA, so what I believe is happening is the HU isn't getting the instruction that audio coming from AA is no longer playing and fails release volume back to the HU for FM. If I am listening to audio through AA (like Google Play Music), it works fine. It's only when I have FM in the background and Waze up front. --kC |

Sometimes my HU would remain stuck on low volume after receiving a chime of an incoming text message. I never listen to the radio, so it's only happened when using Google Play.
It typically goes away when I receive another text, but I don't get tons of those, so sometimes I'll text someone in hopes of them texting me and clearing the volume issue. AA is forcing me to improve my love life. Waze stopped working for me around February or so. I finally deleted it from my phone and just use Google Maps. |

Looks like I'm getting a new radio. Went in today, it already had the latest update. Tech "You already know how to find out which version?" As I swiped through the menu...
Was able to recreate the problem for the tech. Radio on FM. Waze on. Set direction in Waze. Doesn't get out of map audio, and audio stays on rear channels, and lower volume. I mean, I really think it's a software issue with the release back to the HU. If they released an update where they allow the individual adjustment of nav/music audio... swipe up/down or left/right on the icon or something to select which volume you want to adjust? --kC |

New radio didn't fix issue. Didn't think it would. I really think it's in the programming of the radio and either AA and/or Waze. Happened on the techs phone too that was trying some other things. Was able to recreate it completely.
To run it down again, waze running, radio on FM. Get a notification on phone that's not a message (like FB post, instagram, news, whatever). Volume kicks to back speakers and volume control remains on map volume. Won't revert back to music volume, even after unplugging phone from AA. Remains on Map. (Even then it should revert back to radio volume and unload AA). --kC |

Wait... Initially I thought you were posting about the map not exiting the screen. I didn't realize you had the volume issue too. That's the same issue I've had, where the volume lowers after receiving a text, but won't revert back to normal volume. It's inconsistent, but it's happened often enough to be annoying. My workaround was texting someone else in hopes of getting a text response that wound trigger the sound and cause it to resume. It works for me.
Or worked? I still haven't got my car back from the repair shop after the mid-August accident. I really, really dislike this 2014 Crosstrek I got as a holdover. |

Yeah. It's the volume in the same conditions. An easier fix that mostly works (90%) is switch out of waze, to google maps, put in any destination. Once the map volume from GM stops, it's all normal. (Until it happens again).

And now, with the new radio, whenever I'm in Waze, and I have nav directions running, the audio goes louder, softer, louder, softer, louder, softer louder, softer every 3-5 seconds or so. Makes the nav COMPLETELY unusable in Waze.
Had a rental camaro this week with AA, happened in there too. https://forums.androidcentral.com/as...luctuates.html --kC |

Screw Waze. I uninstalled that thing. Google bought them out years ago anyway (iirc) and I hear they're testing out some similar features on Google Maps, so it's just a matter of time before you have the best of both worlds.

Agreed. Also, wanted to update to say I also found the fix for the most recent issue (audio up/down).
The Waze version previous to the one I *now* have would show notifications/directions that would pop up on the screen at the top of the HU. Disabling that, it fixed it. That said, a recent update to waze appears to even have removed the option to display it (which was enabled by defualt on that version). I was going to update this thread in how to disable it, probably had many complaints. It was a simple toggle. I can't find that option anymore. So I guess the answer would be to update Waze if you haven't. --kC |

My volume got stuck last week after answering a phone call. And on Monday night the sound started making a static, clicky noise as music played. Sounded like it was coming from an old, vinyl record. The next morning it was gone, but at 29k I'm very concerned. I want it to crap out before the warranty is up.
