2018 Subaru XV

[kevindd992002]

Anong itsura ng Panasonic na HU? I thought global design ang HU ng XV.

Ang pagkaalala ko (hindi ko na masyado matandaan kasi disappointing yung HU na yun, hehe), same size sila ng stock Starlink HU.

Global design naman talaga ang Starlink HU ng XV. Yun ang stock na HU tapos may choice ka (at least for now) na ipapalit to Panasonic HU during 1st PMS for free.

Ah hindi magbabago ang itsura sa harap pala?

Pero gaano ba kadami problem ng Starlink? Considering ilang libo na narelease nyan worldwide (impreza and XV) hehe I'd say Starlink will have better support from Subaru down the road than a third party HU.

The big let down is that it doesn't have Android Auto/Apple Carplay support.

Eto ang deal breaker eh. Even the 6.5 Starlink on the base model (which does not even support the Starlink app) has Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

So far no complaints naman sa Starlink. Once lang sya naghang sa Android Auto dahil nag-auto on ang app on Bluetooth then sabay saksak USB kaya nalito sya. Needs more bass though but that can be rectified with a sub.

Not that much pero yung mismong unit iba itsura.

Exactly and they can always release new firmware updates for their units anyway. We can let the HU automatically check for new updates as long as it is connected to the Internet.

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.

What I'm hearing is that there will be THREE variants in 2018:

• XV 2.0i
• XV 2.0i-S
• XV 2.0i-S EyeSight

Those that are going to play the waiting game may want to pray and offer eggs that the Senate's excise tax version gets the nod as opposed to the House version. The prices will actually end up being lower than what they are now, at least for the first 2 variants above.

Yes, I was referring to the units purchased before the launch of eyesight. I also asked him if they can install the eyesight to existing 2.0i-S CVT units and was informed that its going to be impossible for them to install it since there will be a lot of electrical wirings and other stuffs to be added. I short, it's beyond their capability to add the eyesight to existing XV units. Maybe you can have it installed by a 3rd party but that will void your warranty.

I'm just gonna hope that the senate version of the excise tax gets passed.

I guess naging blessing in disguise pa yung wala kang makuhang XV now?
