Has anybody seen or tried the Panasonic HU for the XV?

I tried it when I was test driving the XV and it kinda sucks. The big let down is that it doesn't have Android Auto/Apple Carplay support.

I highly doubt that.It'a a combo of hardware (stereo cameras) and software (computer upgrade to include Eyesight features). I hope the price is reasonable.

Talked to my SA this afternoon about eyesight, I was informed that the eyesight device will not be installed in newly purchased XV units. They will introduce another high end XV unit by early next year that have the eyesight around February 2018.

I am thinking of postponing my reservation/purchase until they launch the new XV with eyesight and decide if the price is still worth it.

Oh what the heck! I don't want to regret buying my car now. I hope the difference in price between now and the price when the dreaded excise tax hits us justifies my purchase though.

When you say "Eyesight won't be installed in newly purchased units", are you referring to new units that have been bought now? Or the same variant units that will be bought when a new higher end variant comes out in Feb 2018?

Did you ask him any info regarding the option of having Eyesight installed on units that are out in the streets now?

If I don't get one this year, then this will at least make up for it.

I highly doubt that.

Now let’s see which one gets passed and will dealers actually lower prices if the new tax demands it.

Has anyone tried putting clear film on their cars? I’m thinking of having it installed on the headlights and bumper.

When I got my SH Forester before, they gave me 100k discount, upgraded sound system, and a back-up camera.

The discount and freebies are really good for outgoing models.

How is Android Auto on XV? It seems setup is a PITA. Scoured youtube for instructions. Is the usb under HU the right one to choose?

I was successful initially on making the AA up accessible but selecting it will only show the wall paper.

After uninstalling AA and tried to redo it, AA is still grayed out and not accessible.

Yep it's the USB under the HU. Try it with the stock cable.

Pair the phone and HU via Bluetooth first before plugging it in. You might not have set the proper permissions so watch your phone when you first plug it in.

Works well on the Huawei P9 Plus. Haven't tried with my el cheapo Lenovo yet.

Thanka. Found out it was all in the cables. Works great with stock cables.

"Good morning Sir. Sir gusto nyo ipila ko na po kayo sa Cool Gray. Normally Sir at the end of the month may mga units naman na po. Refundable naman po Sir yung reservation. Ty"

Text this morning. I guess the confirmation of the excise tax brought out stocks all of a sudden.

Using the series of equations I've posted on the Excise Tax thread, let's try some math for the 2 XV variants. Note that the estimated 2018 SRP does not include the usual annual increase from local distributors.


Subaru XV 2.0i-S CVT aka "Premium" or TOTL variant
- Current SRP: ₱ 1,538,000
- e-Vat set at 12%
- Computed using 20% profit margin
- Old Excise Tax bracket: ₱600K to ₱1.1M; Fixed Tax: ₱ 12,000; Marginal Tax 20% of value in excess of ₱ 600k
- Net Retail Price (less e-VAT, profit margin, and excise tax): ₱ 1,043,621.03
- 2018 Excise Tax bracket: ₱1M to ₱4M; Fixed Tax: None; Marginal Tax 20%

• 2017 SRP: ₱ 1,538,000
• 2018 SRP: ₱ 1,683,152.00
• Price Difference: ₱ 145,152.00

Subaru XV 2.0i CVT aka "Base" or entry model variant
- Current SRP: ₱ 1,348,000
- e-Vat set at 12%
- Computed using 20% profit margin
- Old Excise Tax bracket: ₱600K to ₱1.1M; Fixed Tax: ₱12,000; Marginal Tax 20% of value in excess of ₱600k
- Net Retail Price (less e-VAT, profit margin, and excise tax): ₱ 925,813.49
- 2018 Excise Tax bracket: ₱600K to ₱1M; Fixed Tax: None; Marginal Tax 10%

• 2017 SRP: ₱ 1,348,000
• 2018 SRP: ₱ 1,368,722.67
• Price Difference: ₱ 20,722.67

Maybe playing the waiting game is not the right direction for potential XV buyers...


Disclaimer:
Please do not take the above seriously as we haven't had confirmation from a tax/accounting expert that the arithmetic above is correct. The profit margin of 20% is also a wild guess at this point. The dealer might even choose to have a smaller profit margin this year since car sales are expected to slump.

Why did you use the 600k to 1.1M bracket instead of the 1.1M to 2.1M?
