EXTREMELY informative video!!!!!!! I'm driving 70 miles tomorrow to pick up my new 2021 Crosstrek Limited so I've been watching lotsa videos. I LAUGHED out loud at the lady's freeze frame and sleezy music at 1:26. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!
I have cool trick. Hold HOME and hit the TUNE wheel twice. This brings up a secret menu. Hit Camera, then hit Camera Settings. You can turn on the camera whenever you want. Remove the steering angle lines remove the distance lines. It remembers that and keeps them hidden. If you tow a 5x8 utility trailer, it tends to set my mind at ease. HOME + TUNE x2 > bottom option > bottom option. Fisheye camera whenever you want. All your XM buttons still work and your phone shit too. Note: I have the cheap one. Not the manual, but the one cheaper than this one.
Damn my base model doesn't have any of this! Btw how's your Subaru running (assuming you still have it)? Did it hold up well? Any maintainence surprises?
Yea, I believe the premium/limited trims get more of the customizing. So we sold the Crosstrek two years ago. Had it for almost four years. It was absolutely excellent. Not one single issue with the car. Kept up with maintenance/oil changes. I've had probably eight Subarus over the past 12 years. The only one that gave me severe issues was my 2013 STI, and that was 10000% due to the terrible tuning that was done. All the others gave me zero issues or surprises. My wifes Impreza hatch did have one issue where the multimedia screen would just go blank and reboot every once in awhile. That was just a software issue, and was covered under warranty. I swear by Subarus, especially up here in New England.
Nice, that top center screen is my favorite. I have it setup to show calender date, water temp, and oil temp. Then i got the drivers side monitor to show km/h and speed limit. Its a dorks dream.
Do you mean video as in MP4/Streaming/DVD/etc.? If so, there is no way to do this via a factory option, due to safety/liability restrictions. However, there are ways around this via some time of coding/tuning to allow you to play videos at all times. Not sure what systems allow you to do this off the top of my head, but I know there are modules out there that exist. Definitely recommend checking out a forum for this vehicle as I am certain this questions and solution has been posted.
On the top of the center stack multimedia section, you will se two arrows (up/down) and in the center of that there should be a "View" button. When you shuffle thru the screen options and land on the "Push and Hold button" screen, just hold the "View" button until you get into the adjust settings menu. That should open up all the available settings similar to the Crosstrek seen in this video, plus/minus some other options unique to the Ascent. Hope that helps!
Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a 2019 Impreza and my android auto/carplay automatically disconnects after sometime. I have to replug my device to get it back, but it disconnects after a short while. Tried every possible solution found on the internet as very limited resources available for impreza. Do you also experience similar problem or I'm the only one here.
The only way to do so is to press and hold on an icon/app for a few seconds until it lets you freely move the button. It should work if you have this same multimedia system.
First time here. Need a tutorial like this. Helped a little. Have 2018 Crosstrek and still getting to know its ins and outs. Would rather you explained more about the various screen settings. Also, a suggestion: Pause a little longer after you make a point or show a how to. You flip through so fast and then zip onto the next thing so that it is hard for someone trying to learn to give it time to sink in. Remember, you already know but those of us watching do not and so it takes time to soak it in. BTW, I did subscribe. (Can you answer questions about updating Maps? I've downloaded into a 2.0 16gb USB but when I plug it into the media port inside the console nothing initiates. I've re-downloaded the update twice more.
Thank you for the feedback. Let me look into your questions and I will try and put a video together with more detailed and in depth info on the system and updating maps.
Sorry for the mix-up I was talking about the screen in the gauge cluster, I set the Welcome and Goodbye screen to on but they never show up on the screen
What are you trying to setup? I don’t believe there is any customizability in the grid/guidelines. I believe you can either turn them on or off and dim/brighten the color.
2.55 - be aware that the speed limit is what the tom tom thinks it is or was. that info is not loaded from the cameras unlike the volvo which reads road speed limits and picks up the limits for example road works going on etc
Depends on which sound system you have in the car? The Harmon Kardon sound system in my limited Crosstrek is fantastic right out the box. The base sound system in my Impreza, however is terrible, but I wasn't expecting a great system with just a few speakers in the car. You can adjust the treble/bass/etc in the sound settings in the infotainment, but that is about it.
Hey thanks for the info! Just got a crosstrek, still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. I'm coming from an 07 Jetta that had no infotainment system. I thought the mp3 cd player on it was badass when I got it. Haha.
On the front display between the gages there is a warning that tells me to keep my eyes on the road. I drove a tractor trailer for 45 years (retired). I use peri feral vision to drive the vehicle a lot because I was hauling over sized loads. So I’m used to driving this way. Is there a way to turn off this warning permanently?
From what I understand there should be a button to disable this feature located near an auto start/stop button in the vehicle. If this is not available, I believe disabling the eyesight system fully would turn this sensor off. I don’t recommend disabling eye sight.
the 2020 impreza. How do we turn the beeping on when we back up to close to a car. Or we get to close to a car moving forward. The beeping on the side mirrors how do we turn them on?
I believe the “Maps” app is part of the upgraded multimedia system. With the larger screen and sound system upgrade it should be available. Otherwise with apple carplay you can use maps on the multimedia screen.
Hey everyone, hope you enjoy this quick walk-through on the Subaru's newer infotainment system. ***Sorry for the distorted sound at times, the mic was giving me some trouble...fixed the issue for future content. Cheers!
What model/trim vehicle do you have? The one in the video is a 2019 Crosstrek Limited, which comes with all the bells and whistles. The navigations, sound system upgrade, eyesight and all creatures comfort options to be able to toggles all the extra settings.
Hey there, I have a question for you. Any idea why I can't get into settings by pressing and holding the INFO button? When i just press the INFO button, it does toggle between screens. Im also aware that you should not be in the settings screen on your combination meter display at the same time. Just wondering if you have any idea. Thanks.
Hey, what settings are you looking for specifically? There should be three screens to toggle. One would be if you hold the info for the secondary screen and that should give you the ability to change the display and metrics. The other would be located in the center multimedia display settings section, which will let you toggle a few display settings as well. The other would be thru the driver wheel for the center gauge display when you hold INFO I believe it is, and you can switch thru a few settings there. If it doesn't allow you to get to any settings by holding INFO then it might be related to trim level and/or multimedia package level.
@NEMotoGuy Hello. I'm talking about the MFD display. The one in the center of the dash by the windshield. That one does wor as far as getting info from the vehicle. I can then scroll through different screens by pressing the INFO button on the right of the steering wheel controls. When I get to the screen that says "to enter screen settings press and hold INFO" I do press and hold INFO button and it never gets into settings. The settings where you can customize your 3 gauge display, add bdays, add maintenance schedulle. This is all on my 18 crosstrek base that I did a high grade MFD swap along with the high grade combination meter swap. Combination meter swapped works and I can get to it's setting no problem. Its the settings in the high grade MFD that I can't get to. Hope that explains a little more.
How do I change my default weather location. Unable to delete it. Also, although set driver seat to retract upon entering vehicle,seat doesn’t move when reenter vehicle. Now if I put seat all the way back manually upon exiting, it will readjust to my setting upon getting back into vehicle.
I have the same question concerning the weather location. My default location is set to 60 or 70 miles to the south, and trust me, living on top of a big hill climb the weather is very different from late fall thru early spring. The manual is useless. Even the index helps very little.
I don't know if you can get this code without going to the dealer. They have to update/unlock this at the dealership before you drive off with the car. I would schedule a time with your dealer to fix this. They should be able to do it quick, with no charge.
There is a set of buttons on the steering wheel that control this screen. It is specific to the dashboard screen. Should be an up/down arrow and an "INFO" style button in the middle.
That is strange. Do you have a US spec Crosstrek? Also, do you have the upgraded infotainment and sound system? I am trying to research right now to see if this is specific to Limited trim only, however I don't think that would be the case. The oil temp would only be in the first triple gauge bucket option. Sifting through the entire list you still do not see oil temp meter?
Very strange indeed. I hold down the information button like you state and nothing pops up. I do not even get that screen that states to push and hold info button. :/
@@gloriarubalcaba6176 I don't think it would affect the triple gauge cluster, however it was just a thought. Do you have the Hardon Karmon sound system? That would indicate if you have the upgraded infotainment unit. I will keep digging in the meantime.
That’s interesting. Does the app have the most recent updates? If anything, try removing CarPlay from your phone, and then re-sync your phone to the car. Is it by Bluetooth or usb link? The Bluetooth might be providing a poor signal.
Good video, thanks. Does anyone know how to set the radio/sound system to automatically lower the volume when you exit off a highway and stop at a traffic light? I've had cars 15 years ago that had this feature, and was user adjustable as well. I have the HK sound system too (2021 Forester), which was a pricy extra. I'm guessing the setting is in there somewhere. Please help. Thanks.
My 2021 Forester Sport had the weather option on the top dash screen and now randomly I don’t have that option anymore, do you or anyone know why I can’t get that to show up and how to get it back? And also when I cycle through all three “box’s” there’s no weather option it’s just blank where it should be showing the 3hr or 6hr PLEASE HELP IF YOU KNOW WHY!!! TIA
I have two theories. 1) Your subscription to the Starlink service has expired, and you no longer get live data, or 2) Subaru sent out an update to your system and that may have changed something. I am leaning towards option 1 most likely. Let me know if that is in fact the reason you are having that issue?
@@NEMotoGuy awesome man thanks for the help and ya I had a buddy tell me that it’s because of star-link, can I get a new subscription so I can get it back or no?
@@CTMMONEY19 No worries, glad I could help. Yes, you should just be able to re-subscribe one your trial ended. I believe if you just contact a number on there or possible google starlink subscription it should lead you to getting in contact with the provider to re-activate your account. Might be even easier than that, haven't done it in awhile myself.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, very helpful. Maybe you could share if there is a setting somewhere that will allow me to see the speedometer while I'm on a Bluetooth phone call. I am often on the phone while driving and instead of being able to see my speedometer, the display shows "Call in Progress". Thanks again! 😁
My pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful! This is an issue that I have noticed as well, and so far I have not been able to find a way to show the digital speedometer while on a call. I will have to continue digging into the factory system/settings and report back if I find a solution. Thanks.
@@NEMotoGuy I second this comment. Drives me nuts there isn't another place it can pop up or "call in progress" needs to take up the whole dash. Thanks for this tutorial though, I appreciate you!!
Does anyone know how to change the language on the upper screen? I bought a 2019 Crosstrek sport and the oil temp, date are in french and I want it to be in english. I bought the car in Quebec and the language was set to french.
I went through the upper display and I couldn't find a setting for the speed limit in the 2021 Crosstrek Limited, do you have any information if they have eliminated the ability to display the speed limit in the '21 models?
My 2019 Subaru Crosstrek does not have those buttons below the steering wheel you show at 1:54 Is my model too basic to customize the display (specifically the maintenance reminders) or is there another way?
@@adavan3095 It should just work once you put the CD into the slot. Check out this video that demonstrates at the 00:56 second slot. Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/Uz6gXPBsGjM/v-deo.html
Hi, I may be late to the party, but I just recently bought my 2019 Crosstrek, limited, no Hardon Karmon or Navigation. I had no problem following your instructions to change the favorites (great video by the way) and I changed one, but I am not finding the compass or speed limit as options. Any idea why or how to get them? Also, just as an FYI - you can have the oil temp on any of them (left, middle or right), but if it or any of them are in one spot, they won’t appear as options in either of the other two. You would have to take it off one, then you would be able to add it to another (say if you’re really anal like me and like symmetry) - so I wanted to move mine around a bit. But mostly I would really love to be able to add the Speed Limit. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Depends on which sound system you have in the car? The Harmon Kardon sound system in my limited Crosstrek is fantastic right out the box. The base sound system in my Impreza, however is terrible, but I wasn't expecting a great system with just a few speakers in the car. You can adjust the treble/bass/etc in the sound settings in the infotainment, but that is about it.
@@NEMotoGuy Do you know the sizes of the speakers in the Impreza, I was considering upgrading the factory and adding a subwoofer does the Impreza have an amplifier big enough to add one 12" woofer or does it only have an amp for the factory speakers?
@@brendan6093 Honestly not sure the size of the speakers in the base Impreza. From what I could tell they look like small tweeters, and only a handful in the base. The premium/limited and up get the better Harmon Kardon with an upgraded amp I believe. I couldn't find much detail other than that unfortunately. I did find a video on another YT channel that has upgraded the amp in the Impreza. Hope this helps? Link: ua-cam.com/video/H_6q35qaH4Y/v-deo.html
@@NEMotoGuy That is a decent video you found, helpful enough for starting, I'm sure I can find the sizes for door speakers in the manual or calling Subaru. Cheers for that.
Good walkthrough but you should have also touched on how to adjust the gauge cluster settings. Like swapping out to PSI from the factory setting from kPa.
Uhh what? Imposter of what? I literally created that intro myself of clips I filmed myself. The music is from a editing software that is provided to anyone as well.
Is there a way to mirrorlink from my phone to the screen of the car. I have the same year and model and I would like to know if there is a way to do that.
When you say mirror link, do you mean like apple CarPlay/android auto? Or do you mean the Subaru starlink? You can connect via usb/Bluetooth and do apple CarPlay with this car. I have done it. You just need to grant access on your phone and connect to the car.

Can you switch the outdoor temperature to show C ?
Great Video. Extremely helpful. Subaru manual was terrible
.
Nice, that top center screen is my favorite. I have it setup to show calender date, water temp, and oil temp. Then i got the drivers side monitor to show km/h and speed limit. Its a dorks dream.
Haha that's excellent! Aren't we all dorks in some way? for what it is, it's nicely customizable.
Thank you for the walkthrough! Soon-to-be 2019 XV/Crosstrek owner.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and congrats on the new car! One of my favorite cars ever owned. Very smooth ride and just overall great car.
Do you have a video on how to set\change on screen apps? I want spotify
The upper dash display on the premium isn't adjustable like other morels?
I am unable to save and exit the central info screen. It just goes back to the beginning when I press info/save
Is there any way to enable the video while driving?
(I guess there must be a way to enable the video while driving).
Do you mean video as in MP4/Streaming/DVD/etc.? If so, there is no way to do this via a factory option, due to safety/liability restrictions.

Hi! Great video!
My settings screen is missing the Vehicle button (far right button). Do you happen to know how I can get it back? Thanks!!!
How do you change to English?
How do you do this for a 21 Ascent? There’s no “info” button. In its place is a phone/talk button.
On the top of the center stack multimedia section, you will se two arrows (up/down) and in the center of that there should be a "View" button. When you shuffle thru the screen options and land on the "Push and Hold button" screen, just hold the "View" button until you get into the adjust settings menu. That should open up all the available settings similar to the Crosstrek seen in this video, plus/minus some other options unique to the Ascent. Hope that helps!
2017 Subaru Crosstrek, rear speakers stop working, even I set all to rear?? tried to reboot system, radio, does not do it?? What to do??
Either your fuse went out or the speakers are dead. I would say bring it into the dealer and see if they can look into it. Do you still have warranty?
How do you remove the top screen to replace it
the weather option kind of sucks since it is limited to preselected cities and does not go by your actual location.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a 2019 Impreza and my android auto/carplay automatically disconnects after sometime. I have to replug my device to get it back, but it disconnects after a short while. Tried every possible solution found on the internet as very limited resources available for impreza.

How to move the icons around on the screen? I want radio in space 1. Push and hold does not work.
The only way to do so is to press and hold on an icon/app for a few seconds until it lets you freely move the button. It should work if you have this same multimedia system.

Sorry for the mix-up I was talking about the screen in the gauge cluster, I set the Welcome and Goodbye screen to on but they never show up on the screen
Hi very nice video. Do you know how to set up the rear guide lines in Rearback camera?

I have two theories. 1) Your subscription to the Starlink service has expired, and you no longer get live data, or 2) Subaru sent out an update to your system and that may have changed something. I am leaning towards option 1 most likely. Let me know if that is in fact the reason you are having that issue?
@@NEMotoGuy awesome man thanks for the help and ya I had a buddy tell me that it’s because of star-link, can I get a new subscription so I can get it back or no?
@@CTMMONEY19 No worries, glad I could help. Yes, you should just be able to re-subscribe one your trial ended. I believe if you just contact a number on there or possible google starlink subscription it should lead you to getting in contact with the provider to re-activate your account. Might be even easier than that, haven't done it in awhile myself.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, very helpful. Maybe you could share if there is a setting somewhere that will allow me to see the speedometer while I'm on a Bluetooth phone call. I am often on the phone while driving and instead of being able to see my speedometer, the display shows "Call in Progress". Thanks again! 😁
My pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful! This is an issue that I have noticed as well, and so far I have not been able to find a way to show the digital speedometer while on a call. I will have to continue digging into the factory system/settings and report back if I find a solution. Thanks.
@@NEMotoGuy I second this comment. Drives me nuts there isn't another place it can pop up or "call in progress" needs to take up the whole dash. Thanks for this tutorial though, I appreciate you!!
Does anyone know how to change the language on the upper screen? I bought a 2019 Crosstrek sport and the oil temp, date are in french and I want it to be in english. I bought the car in Quebec and the language was set to french.
RTFM.
What model Subaru is this for
This video was done in a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Limited.
Awesome info. Good job, big guy
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I went through the upper display and I couldn't find a setting for the speed limit in the 2021 Crosstrek Limited, do you have any information if they have eliminated the ability to display the speed limit in the '21 models?
I believe they did! I read somewhere that they took it off after an update.
My 2019 Subaru Crosstrek does not have those buttons below the steering wheel you show at 1:54 Is my model too basic to customize the display (specifically the maintenance reminders) or is there another way?
Same with mine i got the premium
Is 40 psi normal what kind of tires do you have
Aldez 40psi is very high. Check writing on the tyre, it says clear.
What is the CD slot for? It doesn’t play CDs. I have a 2019
The Premium and Limited models are CD players. This is a single CD player.
NEMotoGuy thans for the reply. It doesn’t play. Do i have to hit something to make a CD play, like a certain setting?
@@adavan3095 It should just work once you put the CD into the slot. Check out this video that demonstrates at the 00:56 second slot. Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/Uz6gXPBsGjM/v-deo.html
NEMotoGuy Thanks so much. Will try again
Hi, I may be late to the party, but I just recently bought my 2019 Crosstrek, limited, no Hardon Karmon or Navigation. I had no problem following your instructions to change the favorites (great video by the way) and I changed one, but I am not finding the compass or speed limit as options. Any idea why or how to get them? Also, just as an FYI - you can have the oil temp on any of them (left, middle or right), but if it or any of them are in one spot, they won’t appear as options in either of the other two. You would have to take it off one, then you would be able to add it to another (say if you’re really anal like me and like symmetry) - so I wanted to move mine around a bit. But mostly I would really love to be able to add the Speed Limit. Thanks for any help you can provide.
The radio system is trash is there a way to adjust things
Depends on which sound system you have in the car? The Harmon Kardon sound system in my limited Crosstrek is fantastic right out the box. The base sound system in my Impreza, however is terrible, but I wasn't expecting a great system with just a few speakers in the car. You can adjust the treble/bass/etc in the sound settings in the infotainment, but that is about it.
@@NEMotoGuy Do you know the sizes of the speakers in the Impreza, I was considering upgrading the factory and adding a subwoofer does the Impreza have an amplifier big enough to add one 12" woofer or does it only have an amp for the factory speakers?
@@brendan6093 Honestly not sure the size of the speakers in the base Impreza. From what I could tell they look like small tweeters, and only a handful in the base. The premium/limited and up get the better Harmon Kardon with an upgraded amp I believe. I couldn't find much detail other than that unfortunately. I did find a video on another YT channel that has upgraded the amp in the Impreza. Hope this helps? Link: ua-cam.com/video/H_6q35qaH4Y/v-deo.html
@@NEMotoGuy That is a decent video you found, helpful enough for starting, I'm sure I can find the sizes for door speakers in the manual or calling Subaru. Cheers for that.
Good walkthrough but you should have also touched on how to adjust the gauge cluster settings. Like swapping out to PSI from the factory setting from kPa.
I want to marry my new 21 Sport.
1:25 wtf is bro on about
LOL it's my wife, I just added that in for fun.
Tom grossi imposter intro
Uhh what? Imposter of what? I literally created that intro myself of clips I filmed myself. The music is from a editing software that is provided to anyone as well.
I thought this was for customizing the firmware.... ugg I wanna dig into the real nerd S$#T lol
I like her hehehe
I dislike this
I don't get that on mine when I hold the info button
Is there a way to mirrorlink from my phone to the screen of the car. I have the same year and model and I would like to know if there is a way to do that.
When you say mirror link, do you mean like apple CarPlay/android auto? Or do you mean the Subaru starlink? You can connect via usb/Bluetooth and do apple CarPlay with this car. I have done it. You just need to grant access on your phone and connect to the car.
