Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Nice! It's interesting that the seat trim looks to be the same as what we have on the zenki model GT86/BRZ, whereas Toyota have changed the alcantara to a perforated material with white stitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazza82 41 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 Not sure if this helps .. when it stops raining I'll try and get to the garage with a tape measure, but you can probably see it is NOT rectangular with the side sloping inwards towards the bottom and rounded corners. Not sure about the earlier units and I didn't pay a lot of attention on my two short test drives .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK that was a complete waste of time .. when I did get it to connect it really only had an audio app that was any use to me and the quality was cr@p .. it's better using the basic Bluetooth connection to play back music stored on my phone.

Tareim 343 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 I'm guessing the prefacelift radio surround would fit in it's place if you wanted to replace the stereo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazza82 41 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 Dealer saod they were releasing a new satnav unit as the dimensions changed. Not sure how true that was but it does sound like the MY17 units don't fit the older dash. Someone with connections to Subaru might want to check ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 I'd be amazed if the structure behind has changed. I suspect it's only the trim panel with a different cutout... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 Not sure I like the shiny black plastic around the radio. The new wheel and instruments are an improvement though... I wish they'd drop the analogue speedo though. Positioned as it is its pointless - I don't think I've looked at mine once in 18 months of ownership...

Reallt tiny ones but none the less a bit pi $$ed off to put it mildly ... But I did find the g-force meter ... only seems to appear if engine off but has been recording the 1100 miles I've covered so far. Now to test it properly ....

gazza82 41 Report post Posted March 27, 2017 OK a bit more of this G-Force meter .. Eventually found it on the dash settings (Subaru have so far failed to supply the handbook with updated content to match the car's new features!). It's on same "page" as the power/torque curves and lap timer which makes sense. But I've never seen it as the g-force only appears if the car is STATIONARY!! So it basically summarises what you have been doing, but you can't watch it while on the move, which I guess is sensible. But then why show braking force, accelerator movement, and steering movements in that too as .. ??? Limited use methinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazza82 41 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 Oh and the new satnav upgrade is .... £1680 list according to Subaru UKs web site. Up from £1000 on older model. Does seem to be DAB too though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does seem to be DAB too though. You are seriously better off buying an aftermarket head unit. You can get a top of the range Alpine for a grand. There are loads of more integrated options for carplay and android as well. Though they don't seem to feature yet amongst the top brands. My Alpine INE 925R was a grand four year ago, it's cheaper now and has much better nav than what is on the Toyota system and DAB. It'll improve your sound quality too, but you may want to consider at least upgrading your front speakers which will still be cheaper than the Subaru Sat nav option.

gazza82 41 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 There is a deal on the table meaning I will pay a lot less ;-) The car was purchased as an SE Lux Nav ... just no nav units in the country when I collected the car. It's a Pioneer unit I believe. I'm not a massive hi-fi buff so it doesn't bother me too much. If I want to listen to music I do that on my TEAC system at home. There is a sweeter sound coming from the engine bay than the radio or my usb stick! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazza82 41 Report post Posted April 20, 2017 So one month and 19 days later and 2000 miles on clock! Quality isn't great as my passenger was taking these!! At least no 1 and 2 show the "miles to go" estimate is accurate! Thought no 3 was appropriate being a 2017 model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
