2014 Subaru Forester

[HarmLess]

I sometimes encounter this weird thing with the brakes. Whenever you do a cold start, and immediately shift to D to drive off, the brakes are almost nonexistent for the first few tries. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Yun fuel loss upon casa check up, nangyayari yan kahit saang Subaru Casa. :D
Ang ginagawa ko, I check in the car when fuel empty light lights up. That way, wala silang makukuha sa akin.
Lagi na yang SOP.

Yang 36L of fuel mo, usually, naka bukas makina, then aircon habang diagnosis while the car is not running. OA yun 36L 136kms lng ang travel.
Rev up to 4k RPM pa yan. :D Pansin ko na yan, may Scan Gauge II ako sa car. Nakikita dun kung ano ginagawa nila.

I'm not saying Subaru lng ang gumagawa nyan. Mitsubishi Citimotors, ganun rin.
Pinabayad ko pa yun S.A. kasi na bawasan ako ng 1/2 tank. Eh di naman nagtest drive. Binigyan ako ng P500, else, magrereklamo na ako sa Management nun.

Meron din ako pinaayos sa kanila s front fender nilagyan nila ng rugby I think hindi masyadong experience iyon service personnel nla I think its better it to motorimage

I wonder if pwede pagawa sa MI yung rattling sound since sa Alabang ko kinuha yung unit ko...

I think sir this is normal for Subaru cars. A few owners also posted about this few pages back, minsan daw mag jejerk or nudge forward or backward yung car pag nilagay mo sa D or R during a cold start. The service manager of Subaru Alabang explained to me why it does that... Na experience ko na rin dati na before starting my car, yung preno ko sobrang tigas (more than usual), na pag tapak ko sa preno ayaw umilaw ng green yung start button ko dahil sa tigas. So I really had to press it very hard bago lang umilaw tpos pinindot ko agad yung start button, tsaka lumuwang yung preno ng malaki.

I was thinking nga sir na baka habang sineservice yung kotse, naka on ang kotse at aircon, pero if they did that, dapat yung computer trip meter ko will show na mataas din ang FC consumption. However, malaki ang discrepancy between the computer and the mano mano computation. Ayaw ko namang mang husga, kaya hinayaan ko na lang at di ko na ni complain.

Yup MI fort daw ok na casa. About sa fuel, baka nagdrain...

Hi Jef_512!

Thanks for sharing. I suggest we make a new thread for the HU upgrade and options?

Hi! I actually created a thread about this a few months back (although my Forester is the 2012 model):

http://tsikot.com/forums/subaru-cars...tricals-91817/

I also upgraded my HU and changed speakers + added amplifier and rear camera. Didn't post pics though. Will see if I can still edit my post.

Hope this helps.

Seems like Flyaudio already has the OEM fit HU for our Forester. Anyone tried this na?

[jef_512]

Hi stan, when i had my head unit done i met someone in the shop who used to have fly audio (his car was an SH turbo).

He said that sound quality wasn't that good daw so he changed his HU to Pioneer (i think he got the x4550 ata). He had some sound setup going on (eg. subs, after market speakers, amp) though not really the competition type. I think he had that setup even before he switched to Pioneer pa.

Incidentally, there's a Facebook page ata for flyaudio philippines.. You can check out their page din if you haven't seen it yet.

Hi Jef, thanks for the heads up. Yeah I think Flyaudio's just reselling China HUs so I wouldn't be expecting good audio quality from it. I like the OEM fit though, looks pretty nice.

How's your setup so far? Naayos mo na ba yung "mode" and "voice" buttons? Would be great to see pics of your setup

[jef_512]

Hey stan, yup the "mode" button worked na, turned out metra released a firmware upgrade last June 13 that would fix the mode functionality in Pioneer HUs.. I can use it as a power on /off button at the same time as well.

The only thing that's bothering me though is the "PTT" (push to talk) button. I can't get it to work pa din eh. But the on /off hook button works perfectly fine naman. I can make and end calls using that button. Yung PTT lang talaga (to trigger voice recognition) ang di ko mapagana :confused: everything else works naman.

What's nice in Pioneer is that when it's connected to your phone via BT, yung buong phone directory as well as call logs can be accessed thru the HU na. Sa stock kasi natin i think we have to manually store numbers sa HU and will be able to call numbers recorded on the HU (correct me if I'm wrong hehe).

Not sure if flyaudio has the same functionalities though and if it can "mirror and connect/access certain phone apps (of iphone or Android) via cable through the screen display.

I'll post pics soon din. I haven't taken some pics of it pa kasi hehe also still waiting for autoline to have the OEM rear view camera na lang pati.. Hopefully in a couple of weeks meron na *fingers crossed*
