if you ram your car hard enough in the front into a nearly immovable object a white bag flys out of the steering wheel. its crazy! (ALL Chassis)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think the Brat had that feature?
lol 😂😂😂 love the sarcasm
Alright kids don't try this😂
If you have a 15+ with a bigger screen this is how you activate the rear camera while driving
-Hold the info button and press the audio/tune knob twice,
-Hold the home button for 3 seconds to go back
Good to know, did not even stumble upon activating the rear camera while driving
What one is the "info" button
RotorPilot95 the info button is right underneath the audio/tune knob in the right side of the screen
that's a sick one thanks ! ive got a two channel dashcam already but having the rear view on while driving is a bonus
@@gokartin1 the " bigger screen" or the 7" starlink screen that is optional, is where the rear view is displayed. Unlike the models without this screen the rear view camera is displayed on the dash instrument cluster in the center where the boost gauge lives. I do not believe it's possible to activate that while driving. The larger screen option has an info button built in that if held will provide a diagnostics screen.
If you want to disable the hill assist braking on the 2015-current, WRX, press and hold the traction control button down until it turns off and then press it again and you'll see a new light on your dash with a car on a hill. Then your car will roll freely on all hills
With the VA chassis if you actually go through your info screen on top of the dash and scroll to where you can edit things.
Scroll to car setting
Click keyless buzzer volume
Then lower it till it’s off
And you won’t have that chime when you unlock and lock your car.
For "GR" models there's a feature on the key fob that allows you to make your car honk its horn three quick times in succession by repeatedly hitting the lock button on the key fob, handy when you can't remember where you parked your Subaru. I admittedly had to use it a few times lol!
also for VA 15-17 premium+ headunits: you can access your rear view cam while you are driving, head unit off, tap the 4 corners , top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, it will bring you to the rear camera diagnostics page, hit "camera settings" and it will show you the rear cam, you can drive around like that, good for the flame throwers
The stuff we miss when we dont read our manuals lol
I just got my first Subaru and the owner manual is ripped in half 😂😂
I'm actually impressed lol
Speaking of manuals y'all should really search up the PS2 manual cuz there's some pretty fun stuff in there LOL
I just bought a used WRX from a dealer and it didn’t have a manual.
@@camerongabert3072damn, my manual was organized with sticky notes on all the important shit lol
Dude I can just tell this channel is gonna blow up, keep it up!! ✌🏽💥
Appreciate the love my man! 🔥 that would be awesome if it did!
@@Smeedia
He's right.
I have a feeling that almost every WRX and STi owner will be aware of your channel very soon.
Keep it up!
Also, if you want any free production tips, hit me up.
I'm always down to help out a fellow subi club member
Cheers from Colorado!
Another GD trick:
Pull the wiper stalk very briefly, the wipers will park higher on the windshield.
This allows you to have them be ready to be defrosted by the window defrost in the winter.
I know it's a dumb question but what does GD stand for ?
@@XAYSANATV no problem, I didn’t know all this at one point.
GD referring to the sedan Impreza that Subaru made from MY02-07. The Wagon would also have it so it’s not just the sedans.
Defrost ain't got shit to do with it, bud. Its to keep dumbass flatlander yuppies from trying to wipe 10# of snow off the windshield after a snow storm because yall dont know how to cut the fuckin key off with the damned wipers at the top when you park.
This works on all models. It was easier on the older ones but i can confirm it also works on VA but you gotta be fast AF
@@Turbolious sweet dude thanks for sharing
When I figured out that seatbelt chime off mode in my ‘06 a year ago I was so happy. I can just chill waiting for something with my car in the nice a/c without my seatbelt on.
Yours will ding when you are stopped? Lol mine doesn’t until you start moving. I do keep a little buckle thing from eBay so when my dog is in the seat or a heavy backpack it doesn’t go off
@@griffinwright443 my mom’s Legacy will chime while in park and my WRX will do the same even when the brake is engaged. I disabled the chime the day I got my WRX.
If you go inside the engine bay, there are holes scattered all across meant for aftermarket parts to be installed (same for other Subaru's). Also plastic trim piece between your fender and your driver side mirror can but used to install aftermarket lights like those on police cars.
The 4EAT FWD only mode fuse is located under the hood in the fuse block above the battery. The fuse block cover has a diagram with a key to decipher the fuse locations by number. The FWD mode says (FWD) on the diagram and a 10A fuse will work perfectly. A dash cluster icon will light up to notify the driver that the FWD mode is engaged.
is it bad to have it on?
@@chrisguzman7926 I believe it's purpose is in reference to the spare tire/hideaway tire, so you don't cause binding with the AWD system. I don't think you would harm the AWD system by having it in FWD mode by I'm not a Subaru engineer. It can also be used to verify if you have any issues with the Rear driveshaft. Let's say that you hanger bearing has a lot of play that's causing it to hit the heat shield or something...put in FWD mode to see if it stops. If so then you have a good idea where to look.
@@shiloh5199 ohhh okay thanks for the info didn't know you could do that in those haha
GR Chassis: you can disable chime when unlocking and locking your car. This is in the owners manual, I believe it's the same procedure as described in this video. I have it disabled in my '09.
Also, you can have engine fault codes display on the odometer, there's a procedure to do this as well. Something like turning the key to on and pressing the odometer button 10 times quickly.
What's the odometer button on the dash
@@auden_builds the button next to the odometer reading? It either cycles through the different trip readings (trip a and trip b and total milage) or resets the trip milage for one of the if you hold it, if I recall correctly.
I didn't realize this was a thing, but I kinda wanna try it on my '14 Impreza now....
Here is the procedure I found:
1. Switch off lights (position OFF)
2. Insert key and turn it to the 2nd position
3. press odometer button 4x
4. lights on (1st position)
5. press odometer button 4x
6. lights off (position OFF)
7. press odometer button 4x
8. lights on (1st position)
9. press odometer button 4x
It has to be done very quickly, so you may not get it on the first attempt.
Coming back and re watching these videos you can see just how far you've come
Not sure if it’s a Easter egg on my 2018 base wrx. Turn off radio and touch top left top right bottom left bottom right of the screen go to camera setting and you can drive while looking at the rear view camera
That's actually pretty cool! No idea about that one!
Anthony Jimenez haha awesome!
That's way cool!! Thank you!
Yo I have the same year but mines not working at all.
@@femiaudi15jb try holding the "info" button under the "audio/tune" and press audio/tune twice. Then click the camera settings
15+ if you turn your headlights on. You can see a reflection of an angel on the surface of the headlights. I was told and shown by a employee of a local Subaru dealer. Really cool Easter egg. I can’t speak on aftermarket headlights but oem you can see the angel. They showed me this on my 2019 STi limited and on a WRX.
For the va chassis that doesn’t have navigation, if you turn your radio off and press the 4 corners of the screen it brings up screen so you can drive with your reverse camera on
Any other detail? I can't seem to make it work
For the GR it has a feature for the chime/signals flashing as well but it’s in the cluster when you are in accessory mode using the odo button
GR chassis has another easter egg, you can display your engine light trouble codes on the dash where the miles are..
Really?
yup! this works on 08/09 outback xts as well! not sure about 05-07. you can use it to display abs codes as well !
I have an 05 legacy gt that does the same thing!
How?!
I think you're going to do it big dude! Like the vibe! And those wheels are sick! -2018 stage 2 WRX Limited, Chicago
Was just out in Chicago a few weeks back for work! Love the feedback and support my dude! Would be awesome if it did! 🙌🔥
@@Smeedia I'm told my 2018 Impreza has a secret hiding spot. True??
Sold me instantly with ur editing and production enchantment and tricks and plus ur positive and electric vibe. Lol
Eyyyyy, thank you! Appreciate the support 😁😁
@@Smeedia yes sir. I appreciate you bro. Thank you
Its crazy, i own a 02 wrx wagon and i find myself learning more and more, from jdm parts to the cooling mods. Thanks man!!!!
Of course! Have to spread the knowledge! Thank you for your support to the channel! 🙌🔥
@@Smeedia yea man for sure!!!
One of the must do on that area in my opinion is to cut the wire behind the HVAC control to keep the AC from turning on when the blower is set to windshield, AC zaps the precious low end torque those 2.0 already did not have Lol, and I liked having the upper air flow on the windshield not the dash level. Also removing the daytime running light resistor pack was a bulb saver, I always just tuned on my lights any time I drove, and I believe the start up voltage jump was killing bulbs since I had replaced them very often, till I removed the DRL pack, then the ebay yellow bulb lasted for years till I sold the car.
@@sleepyfu Or, if you don't mind the brake light on your dash being on, you can just pull the e-brake 1 click.
For VA you can just hold the lock and unlock buttons on key together to disable the chirp
Will that work to to turn it back on??
Ok, here is a pretty cool one that works on the 2012 STi, not sure what else it works on though, if your car is throwing a code and you don't have your code reader with you the car can tell you the code.Turn the key to the on position, then super quick you push the trip reset button 4 times, turn on lights hit trip reset 4 times, lights off, trip reset 4 times, light on and 4 more on trip reset and the codes will pop up in the odometer display and you can cycle through them with the reset button.
I think it works on all models, not entirely sure but a good one to add in!
@@Smeedia It's kinda crazy but can be really helpful.
GR chassis snow drift mode ; how to deactivate Vehicule stability control completely : remove fuse #33 in your fusebox under steering wheel ( or make yourself a custom plug-in fuse bypass with a on off lever ) 😁
Garage is coming together man!!
One day at a time it is getting there!
Thanks for the vid. Such a shame they didn't continue the wink feature on all the Subarus
I like the idea of having it, I dont think it was an intentional thing though 😅
The seat belt chime on my 08 would continue to chime even with the seat belt was buckled, so this fix was perfect for me. Thanks.
Glad it helped 🙏
You can get rid of the chime in the setting on the gauge screen on 2015+ WRX
Thanks for telling us about the seat chime. Hopfully it works for the passenger side. The passenger side will chime when I have anything heavy sitting on the seat, even a gallon of milk. super annoying. I saw another video where you can disconnect the speakers located in the speedometer/tachometer.
My passenger side will chime with a cellphone on it 😂
Nice job. Deactivating hill assist is nice
Mandatory as far as I'm concerned... This should not be as buried as it is as well as the light should be ON when it's being used not when it's turned off. Oh well, at least the option is there.
The seatbelt thing just earned you a sub! Thanks!
Thanks for the support 😁🔥
Same here. In my '15 WRX, when I have a water bottle and laptop on my passenger seat, it will ding about seat-belt. A bit too sensitive and annoying. Now I know how to stop it, thanks!
Those wheels are so dope.
Hey how do you get your gauges in the dashboard blinking
Speed gauges And RPM gauge Blinking
@@STIJay its “blinking” due to camera FPS, not really the gauges
What are those wheels?
Work emotion D9R
Backup camera at any time is one I like. On the base and premium. Turn off the radio. The screen needs to read “audio off”. Tap the upper left of the screen, upper right, lower left, lower right in relatively quick succession. A new screen will appear, from there select camera settings and the backup camera will appear. From here, if you wanted you can adjust the settings on the rear camera. This only works with touchscreen (2016+), base and premium, I haven’t tried it on the limited models with navigation.
Works on my 2016 Limited without nav
codydakota95 does the car has to be on? Off , switch on?
I have 2020 WRX base
Car has to be on, either ignition on/engine off, or engine running. (If the rear camera comes on with the car in reverse, this ‘trick’ will work).
You can add birthdays/reminders in the calendar. I use it a lot. It pops up as soon as you get in the car and actually gives you warnings a few days out.
On our limited navi models, we have these hidden options in our settings via dash screen and head unit. My favorite by far is having all doors unlock when i unlock the car. ...and yea that seatbelt thing has been amazing for me over the last decade. Thanks Subaru!
How’d you get your car to unlock all doors?? I got a limited ‘21 STI & I hate that it only unlocks one door lol
Just got a 2020 STI today. Thank you for this. I’m so excited to join the community
Congrats on the new car! 😁😁😁
@@Smeedia bro replying to videos that he published one year ago. 🐐
😉😉😉
Hey bro how good is it? I had a wrx cvt😩 and I’m trying to get a sti would u recommend?
That's all I need 20× thank you from coming 😂😂😂😂😂 we out here support from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Rarotonga 🇨🇰
Just subbed that seat belt stuff made me literally laugh out loud!
Appreciate the support and glad you got some.humor out of it 😅
For the VA, you should look up the "Disable Hill Climb Assist" feature (manual transmissions only)
on GR/GV you can check your trouble codes using the trip reset button when you press it in a certain sequence, should be the same for VA
Who doesent like Easter eggs?:
Me: who doesent like white Work D9Rs on a WRB Subaru?!
Lol yesssss 🔥🔥🔥
I got a job at Subaru, im literally just here to learn about the car brand i otherwise know nothing about 😂
Plenty of info here 😅🙏
Congrats on thr job!
The radio feature does work on the nasty base factory radio for 2015-2016.
Yea it does, it did it
@@WRX15 I replaced mine on my 2015 model. You still have that junk head unit? Replace that with an Android head unit is my opinion. The stock speakers worked so much better with new head unit. Around the time I got my car shortly after November 2014 I got a new Pioneer head unit. It is double din and works nice. All except for the noise cancellation that I came to learn about afterwards some time. Oh well...
I have to admit, I'm crying so much seeing those mirrors..
If you happen to know anyone else who has those specific ones available (I know they're discontinued), I'm DESPERATE for them to complete my S207 NBR JDM build. (110 or 050, though 110 preferred).
You're the full on real deal, and I love seeing someone else with this passion for the true numbers and facts of these vehicles.
Are you looking for the BSD set to the normal version? I have the links for the non BSD Mirrors. Rallyaport direct sells this pair in limited quantities. Appreciate the passion and the feedback 🔥
@@Smeedia With the Limited, I have the BSD/Heated.
Are those the actual Subaru STi JDM Mirrors? (ST91039ST110)
I know Subispeed/RallysportDirect has ones that LOOK just like them (Blue, Wide angle, BSD/Heat, Arrow), but the turn indicator does not do the 'sweep', it was just a blink on/off. (unless it's toggable, which would make the whole point moot and I'd probably grab those instantly). I really, REALLY love that sweeping motion, and since I have sweeping LED's for all indicators across the car, I just have to have it. :)
Practically every single Subaru aftermarket parts dealer online is owned by the same Conglomerate now. Tis amusing ordering parts from Subispeed showing up with RallySportDirect markings. They're all in the same warehouses.
@@Smeedia Are these the ones you're running? (Minus the BSD)
www.rallysportdirect.com/part/aftermarket-mirrors/mrl-14-lpbh-bsm-olm-wide-angle-convex-mirrors-w-turn-signals-defrosters-blind-spot-detection-blue
The videos I've seen of them show them just flat blink, not do the 'sweep' in the arrow. Do these sweep? If so, I'll grab these right now.. Hah.. :)
@@Smeedia Just to follow up on this..
Yeah, all the STi JDM mirrors are gone. Poof. Only way to get them is through Japan Auction sites, but.. DID manage to get myself the same scenario you have (17' STi Limited), reducing down to the 050 without the sensor. The look and authenticity is far, FAR more worth it.
Keep singin' my song with these cars! Longevity and pushing are what I live for on these!
If you have the warning light on your dash you can pull the old sensors out and push them into the m.j mirror caps to disable the warning light 🔥 glad you were able to snag a set and I'm glad I got a set before the disconiltinued them 😅
Hey bro I just started my UA-cam channel! You motivated me! So thanks man!!!!! Appreciate your content. 😎😎
Going to have to check it out 🔥
The hand motion with the face, while maintaining eye contact for the seat belt chime....awesome lol
Had to do it 🤣
On the VA chassis base model or premium if you turn push the button to mute/ turn off the stereo then press on the 4 corners of the screen a secret menu comes up and then you press and camera setting and now your back up camera is on while you’re driving so you can see your self shoot fat flames
Lol I love the reason behind using it 🤣
Doesn't it turn your reverse lights on as well? Could u imagine driving behind you going down the road with your reverse lights on? haha
i also think with the VA chassis, there is a bunch of things you can change in your center dash display, and im pretty sure turning off the beep when you lock and unlock your doors is in there... could be wrong, but im pretty sure i saw that in there.
I have 2017 limited with the keyless. I found how to change the volume of the lock and unlock buzzer. In the small screen press and hold the ok button. Go into car settings then keyless buzzer. There you can lower the volume or raise it. Also I found out my car had a remote starter. If you press the lock button three times and hold on the three press it may start. I don't know if everyone knows this but you can set up a code to press in on the truck if you lock you keys in the car or don't have them on you.
Most definitely helped out with the keyless buzzer. I have a 2020 Impreza Sport and confirmed that it can be turned off via settings on the screen of the head unit
James Gabbard The code for the trunk is called pin code access. Subaru designed this feature for fishers, skiers, etc. just so you could have your keys locked in your car so you don’t lose or damage them. Kind of a neat feature, I work for Subaru and I learned about this feature in the training classes.
Found your channel yesterday and it's amazing! I'm looking at purchasing a 17 Subaru Impreza WRX 6 speed manual, and I love me some Easter eggs! Keep up the amazing work!
Eyyyy, thank you! Great car if you snag one! 🔥🙌
@@Smeedia thank you! I know what to look for now since watching your video's and I truly appreciate it!
Denso 10 audio unit diag screen = press and hold home button while pressing and releasing tune button 5 times. Your welcome.
To turn off hill assist on the VA models hold down the traction control button for 60 seconds and car on a vertical angle will appear in lower right corner. Now no more burning out your clutch because you know how to drive a manual.
Hill assist saves your clutch not destroy it
@@Dragunov302 not when it doesn’t release and your riding it worse then if you had it off. Trust me I’ve seen what hill assist has done to clutches and it’s not pretty lol.
Yep, it literally made me stall all the time. And I’m very decent at driving manuals. Turned that crap off the 1st week I got mine.
Speaking on behalf of the base model, the audio and speaker quality I feel is lackluster. A good video could be describing what the best audio settings is for 2015+ sound systems
get new speakers. that is what i did along with some soundskins. it sounds awesome now. i just went with the kicker speaker upgrade quick and easy plug and play hook up
Not a bad idea! Need to find someone with a premium or base but I'll definitely get it on the list!
Subaru offers a Rockford Fosgate speaker upgrade that’s fairly easy to install and is backed by a factory warranty.
YouDontWannaFightMe I heard the quality was not that good for those upgraded speakers
Sour Mane they’re not
The fwd trick is easy, on many subarus its a box on the passenger firewall under the hood that says FWD, stick a fuse in it and it will disconnect rear
I’ve a gr, when you open the door and get the annoying beeping, drives me insane, you can press the door sensor once to turn it off. Works a treat
Guess I don't know everything , I'll use the wink feature on my GD instead of Subie wave maybe I won't get the bird anymore !
Lol some people might be confused but worth it 😅 so many things to learn its nuts!
Another great video. Had no idea that Easter eggs were in any of these cars lol.
Some more than others but some of the hidden features are still fun to know about 😁
I like the energy
🙌🙌🙌
love all the easter eggs in this video too. (rain)
you deserve so much more subs!!
Thank you! Were growing everyday but the love is appreciated! 🔥😁
If you turn on your headlights at night, you can see an angel on the headlight itself. Both sides has it. This is only for the VA models.
That is true! Totally spaced in that one 🔥
On VAs if you turn off your radio and press the four corners of the screen, starting from top left, to top right, to bottom left, to bottom right. you can open your back up camera setting while driving, so you can see them sick flames (;
The reason I turned off the seatbelt chime in my impreza, is because the seat pressure plate is so sensitive, so if you have food, or groceries, or bags in the passenger seat, the seat pressure plate will activate, and make it beep.
the tune knob when u hold it does work i use for my car when i wanna boost up bass or treble
I have a 20 and it just brings up the normal settings. Did they change it in the facelift models?
Bruh I literally thought it was bad wiring in my column when the lights started to flicker. Thank god lol
On the limited sti you can set up a 5 digit code using your trunk open button located on the trunk if you want to unlock your car without the keys.
steven cramer yep works great
Pin code access 👍🏼
Tried setting it up 2-3 times. Before finally giving in and going to the dealer. They thought I was nuts, they didn’t know this.
Regardless to say, it never got done on my car. Too high tech of a car for me😜
Tim Nelson do you have a limited?
steven cramer
I do. 2019 limited rally blue with the lip.
Ran across it while reading the manual. Thought why not give it a shot. I did the sequence, heard the beep to start, but it did a weird beep back after I went to start the first number.
Dealer thought there might be a PIN already. Didn’t care to pursue it much more after that. I use the key, if its even locked
😂 I was not expecting that beginning. Love it man👌
I like to get creative sometimes 😅 haha appreciate it! 😁
Smeedia I’d love to see more 🤙
@@xBPxHolistic filming another as we speak 🔥😅
Smeedia 🙏 I can’t wait
You should be 1 of the first to order the new sti . I went to the dealer to see if I could drop some money to build my own . There not taking deposits just yet . They start in the winter
Ive been debating it, as the time gets closer we shall see what happens 🔥
@@Smeedia contact the dealer so you can be on a waiting list . I just got on the list
the GDs rear diff can only be disabled by the fuse trick on the automatic version. the manual transmission is stuck in AWD unless you break something lol
Lop of you break something 😅😅😅
The front wheel only mode is for the car to fit on a 2 wheel emission runner. Danm, can't believe that's is already a thing in the past.
Good video, good info. You deserve more subs than you have.
Appreciate the support and the awesome feedback! It is always great to hear and good motivation. 🙌🔥
got my first car and I got a 03 rally blue Subaru and the first day I started driving it I got the wave and relized how great the community I join is gonna be
Congrats on the car! 🙏😁
@@Smeedia thanks I’m super excited to start the mod process after getting a few maintenance stuff done first
2015+ Hill start assist disable. With keys to "run". Hold the traction control button until completely off (no lights) then press the button again. The hill start assist light will blink. Then key cycle the car. Hill start assist will now be off.
I love all your content. What wheels are those? I love the how wide the lip is. I have a 19sti. Would love to get those wheels
How to turn on Marty Mcfly mode. Jump up and down 10 times, spin around 5 times, scream as loud as you can for 3 seconds, then hop in your car. If you did it correctly your car should take off!
This reminds me of unlocking some cheatmodes/secret modes in a game thru a joystick console during those days...well, jus like this one, you had to do it fast thou 😄Those were the days
ok, youve caught my attention! i did not know about the Single cycle mode on the seatbelt tho.
My 2020 WRX Base. I can change the volume of the unlock chime from the screen on the dash
2016 base does it too
Works like that with 2008 as well
I just got a new 2020 sti and been looking to get the loud mode for a bit extra loudness. Hopefully something can work. Sounds exactly like my 17' Impreza sport did
@@anthonyroe2598 sadly not, wishful though.. haven't looked into since i originally posted... just sadly deal with it.. though I don't get to drive my car daily
19 sti.. tried the radio thing it would only take me to the normal sound settings for the radio as if you went into the settings page through the main screen unless I did it wrong.. lol also did you have to turn on your welcome lighting? Mine came on from the factory with it for a 30 second timer.
Yes I bad to turn mine on, the 2017 only utilizes them when the auto function is turned on (which I never use).... lol
Was not sure about the radio one, I couldent get it to work either but people were claiming they did...
Can’t even do the gr one Bc I got premium w the touch screen radio 😭
Incase it hasn't been said, you can have the limited with an actual key. Keyless push start is an option. Great video though
On the va if you have push button start. You can unlock disable the key create a code and unlock the car from the button on the trunk.
Im subscribing to you channel, because the whole 3 to 4 years ive had it, ive been trying to figure out why my car never sounded when locking and unlocking the car. I thought maybe the car never had it or it was faulty.
Were to able to turn it back on?! 😅 also I appreciate the support!
@@Smeedia yes I was able to turn it back on. I had broken my old key fob, because i didnt feel that sense of security and eventually messed up the buttons and internals. I did get a replacement that works fine.
I have the base 2020 STI, nothing but a short throw shifter and the STI shift knob as extra accessories, and I still have the welcome lights on. Not sure if they made this available for all models, but I can confirm the base model 2020 STI also has welcome lights when the lights are turned on auto.
19 limited wrx here, welcome lights are on
Premium 2020 wrx has them as well
Base 21 STi here, and I have welcome lights also.
I have a long list of minor electronics peeves for my '17 Forester Touring (JF2SJGWC6HH487283) which I'd love to hear have any workarounds: 1) butt-unlocking leaves the car unlocked even if no one ever opens a door - bad for street parking at home 2) radio can't be turned off while in Reverse 3) seat position memory works for reach and recline but loses its place on height, a sliver of a mm at a time, going to max height at each unlock after 6 weeks or so 4) doors don't auto-lock on driveaway, and don't auto-unlock when you switch off 5) power tailgate does nothing for 1-2 seconds after hitting button, then sometimes does opposite of what's wanted 6) auto headlights respond too slowly to be safe in tunnels and parking garages 7) the two least-delay settings for intermittent wipers are too far apart, about 1 sec delay or 5 sec delay - there should be a 3 sec delay 8) the "set/enter/up/down/go back" logic of center screen setting is maddening 9) on long trips (with nav only?) there is a mysterious single musical marimba-like chime note every so often, with no explanation on dash. In Canada it seems to correspond with the ends of passing lanes on the highway but its behavior seems different and still unexplained in the US. And an EyeSight word of warning for those who've gotten used to the system's temporary winter fog/frost announcements "EyeSight Off" - in the summer, hitting one bug in just the wrong place on the windshield can make EyeSight "blind" WITHOUT the system knowing it, and on cruise control you will crash into the car ahead if you fail to notice the "following a car" symbol has not lit up when it should. This has happened to me only once in 52,000 miles, but it did happen so keep your windshield clean!
for number 9 - I was able to get the chime off - I think it was setting about notification of hazards or rail road and such
what body kit are you using? That thing is sick
Just an OEM lip kit 🙏
You forgot the $5,000 easter egg... You activate this hidden feature by pulling your dipstick and it being bone dry. Haha
Hey man do you know any places around south king county for spirit driving? I’m very new to the area and there’s just so many people? Love the videos
Check out the base of Mount Rainer or up past Bonney lake in the mountains is a really cool spot too!
Thank you very much😎
I love those rims I’m trying to find same color just not so expensive. Like around 250 a wheel or so
you can turn the lock/unlock chimes just in the system settings on the ltd...
Question 🙋♀️ 6:44 Which boat is louder I mainly came here to find out how to make my radio sound better 📻 the answer is probably gonna be my new one
Question. I have a 2015 subaru legacy 2.5i base model. Is there anyway the c-light bulb or boomerang light bulb be changed?
Yessss, I belive diode dynamics carries them 🔥
@@Smeedia do I have to take the actual housing apart? I probably have to take the housing out from the car, but does the housing have to be opened?
Yes you do unfortunately 😪
@@Smeedia well shit. If I'm going to do that then, I'll put the C-light switchbacks in then making the c-light DRL and turn signal
The VA seatbelt chime is so freaking annoying. First thing I looked up after I bought the car. Most vehicles don't chime until you're over 10 mph or so, and if you come to a stop it will stop chiming. NOT SUBARU! Just keeps chiming at a dead stop... Like, I'm in a drive thru or just moving my car to a different parking spot or something, leave me alone!
Great vid! But, just one thing on the AWD/fuse topic... the hidden feature "AWD fuse" doesn't exist for the new generation TR690's and TR580's. And, if you're talking about the PDI "fuse", which you pull and reverse directions on, it will also put the car in limp mode.
I believe he said the FWD only mode fuse was only on the 4EAT transmission, which is the 4 speed A/T. When they went to the 5speed A/T it wasn't available anymore and obviously was never available on a manual shift.
Do you know if there is a way to increase the alarm volume for if there's unauthorised entry?
You should show how to disable Hill Assist! I did it on mine but forgot how. It's on a UA-cam somewhere. It increase the drivability!
joseph ihrig I believe it is holding down the traction control button down for about 30-1 min and then you see the light on your dash and turns it off
Its in your owners manual how to disable it
Another one is the hill assistance to turn it off on the 16+ models be on level surface turn the car on with e-break up press and hold the traction control button for 30sec or longer till traction light turns off completely than let go an press again for another 15sec and car will display that it's off an repeat process to turn back on..
Awesome car, you have a great entertaining personality. Thanks for the tips
Thank you! 🙏😁
