bluetooth

Hi all, I have a 2014 Crosstrek XV, whichever model was the top of the line that year. My bluetooth connects and works for phone calls, and it shows a connection to my iPhone for Spotify and podcasts (the track name, etc. registers on the screen) but no sound comes out. I've disconnected and...

Hey all, I've been poking around here on the forums and I haven't quite seen what I'm asking about, so here goes. I know a lot of people say the stock audio system ('19 non Rockford) is pretty crappy. But for a stock audio system to me, it's not bad. Yes I came out of my 2001 Explorer with a...

I want to buy a used navigation system off of ebay. All the model numbers are different then mine but they look identical. The question is..... will another model number work?

Hi, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere... I found a couple threads asking similar questions but no responses. My '15 has recently started randomly dropping its connection to both USB and Bluetooth while I'm trying to play audio through my phone. Anyone had similar issues?

I have a 2018 crosstrek and my carplay and bluetooth handsfree calling has not been working for weeks. I have an iphone 8 and use the apple brand lightning cable. I have tried restarting my phone, using a different cable, restarting the stereo system. I am VERY disappointed that my brand new car...

The user manual says that an iPhone can be paired to use CarPlay over Bluetooth in a '18 Crosstrek Limited. However, I cannot seem to to do. Does anyone have any insight into this? I can't find a definitive answer anywhere.

Hey there, So I cannot find an answer in the manual, or in the forums. I primarily listen to my phone ( music or audio book ) over BT. When I get in and start the car, the HU connects but sometimes it starts the audio that was last playing ( which is what I want ), but more often it just sits...

Hi everyone, I own a 2016 Crosstrek 2.0i 5 speed and I need to purchase a new head unit. The screen from the oem head unit is cracked and will not work! What is my best option moving forward? Should I find a new/used oem part or just get an aftermarket head unit? Based on past experience, I'm...

Hi everyone! I have a 2017 crosstrek limited with the 7inch starlink audio system. I noticed that when playing a song on Spotify through Bluetooth, the title of the song and album does not scroll (as in, if the song is too long, you can't read the end part of it). On Sirius XM, there is an arrow...

Has anyone noticed subtle fluctuations in volume when connected to Bluetooth? I'm driving a 2017 Premium, connected to my s6 which does not have similar issues w/ other Bluetooth devices (headphones, receivers @ home) I notice a slight drop in volume and it happens semi-frequently Most...

No changes to anything that I'm aware of. System has worked fine with current phone about 2 years). Suddenly my "friend" stopped prompting me. This means eyes OFF the road to deal with Commands. I expect some setting got changed. Ideas, please!:)

For upfront context, I drive a 2014 Crosstrek Premium and the device I'm connecting with is an iPhone 5s running iOS 9.3.2. When playing music from my iPhone (via Spotify), the audio has always been "skippy" if the phone is to close to the console. So I've kept it at a distance ever since (it...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the Bluetooth module on the XV. I have a 2014 Premium and I feel like it's REALLY susceptible to interference and losing the Bluetooth connection in poor signal areas. Example- when I had my 2013 Civic, there were always these...

while trying to talk using the bluetooth connection in my 2016 crosstrek limited i get major feedback and noise, it literally sounds like a transformer transforming. i disconnect the call from the bluetooth and use just the phone and the conversation is fine. does anyone else have any issues...

Last week, we connected just fine. I do get complaints that people can't hear me any more on my speaker phone, so I hardly use it, but I do like to listen to my music or books on tape. Monday morning, first thing, it won't stay connected. It connects and disconnects about every 2 minutes...

Background: I have my phone (Droid Turbo) paired to the standard (no nav system) bluetooth head unit in my 2014 Crosstrek. If I'm listening to FM radio and a call comes in the radio will stop and the phone will ring through the speakers. This is all good. Problem: When I have bluetooth on and...

Since updating my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0 (lollipop) I've had an issue with Bluetooth and Nav head unit. From time to time, audio will cut out while playing back a track. Actually doesn't matter the app playing back the audio. There's no indication on the phone that the connection has been lost...

Does anyone have experience using these apps in their XV? I'm most curious about iOS, but other Mobile platforms would also be interesting to know. I assume streaming music over bluetooth is likely not going to work, but I wonder what type of functionality these types of apps might have over...

Hi, everyone. Today I was driving and tried to place a call home using the car's bluetooth. I have my home phone number programmed into the car's phone book. I was also simultaneously using Google Maps turn-by-turn voice navigation and listening to my music - both via bluetooth streaming and...

But I got a new phone and it seems like I need to manually pair the connection. Is there a setting to make the car automatically connect to my phone's Bluetooth for audio purposes? Thanks!
