CT2015Legacy

Interesting...I have nothing but positive things to say about my CVT. Unfortunately, I'll never get the opportunity to take advantage of this extension as I, typically, don't keep cars very long and get a new one ever 2-3 years. Already looking for my Legacy replacement and I only have 26K miles on my car. Very disappointed that the WRX won't be replaced with the new platform until 2019-2020...that was my first choice and now I have to look else where:icon_sad: Maybe a Honda Civic Type R is in my future???

I do the same pretty much; planned on keeping the Legacy a bit longer but have a 2018 WRX Limited on order. Maybe I'll come back to the Legacy in the future

Thanks, I think that might be it

That is not it; don't buy that you will scratch the plastics.

Here's another shot of this car - though this one not in motion:

 

If only this was an actual production STI Legacy; it would be epic! How did it look with the spoiler on the back?

Hey guys. There is a company that makes Window Visors for our car and it's $50. Instead of paying $200 OEM.

I knowww:wub:

 

Based on the wheels I'm guessing it's from the sport. I'll definitely look at picking one up once available cause it looks clean.

 

The new rear bumper is pretty slick too, might consider replacing mine with the new style rather than dropping money on repairing mine. Since no sheet metal is changed it'll likely be swappable.

I am really not a big fan of the back bumper at all the more and more I look at it. Idk what's going on with the lower portions. Wonder if the Nameless Exhaust would have any fitment issues now.

Yeah car is reliable as it's always been. It's more about the equity I still have in my car now compared to the equity that I won't have in a few years from now which will also amount to a larger monthly payment.

Just a consideration for now but a want for sure.

Just gonna venture out on a limb and proclaim that when they say:

 

LED steering responsive headlights

 

That means if you buy a Limited or 3.6.

 

Don't expect them to make that available on base or Premium trim levels. Just checked and on the redesigned 2017 Impreza the steering responsive LED lights are only on the Limited trim...

 

Be nice if it is standard across the line, but not how Subaru usually rolls... I had to buy a Limited to get OEM HID in the 2.5 Legacy, which was one of my shopping requirements (HID or LED headlights from now on for me).

Yeah I usually will always purchase the Limited anyways but it is worth noting that it'll probably be a Limited only feature.

come on...why you gotta post this?

Haha; I'm already driving my girlfriend and grandparents crazy talking about all the changes... This is why I shouldn't surf the internet.

Looks like the DAMD steering wheel I'll be receiving/install tomorrow won't fit now....

Now, the important question. Will the headunit with Android Auto/Apple Carplay be swappable into the 2015-2017 models? That's the only new feature that interests me enough to consider the 2018 over the 2015-2017 models. I'd rather save a few grand and swap the headunit myself if it's possible.

Doubt it as screen sizes have changed.

So I'll probably be buying one.... (FACE PALM). Who else is with me...? Haha.

Well looks like a whole laundry list if changes that are very welcome.

Few standouts for me:

• Apple CarPlay (FINALLY) & Android Auto (if your like that kinda thing).

• Backup camera guide lines now move with steering angle.

• Steering responsive LED low beams (much like that of the Forester; if exactly the same the projector would be a bi-xenon projector).

• Auto locking doors.

• TPMS system now reads the tire pressure in each individual tier.

• Upgradable STARLINK system (assuming this will add feature like remote start from STARLINK application in the future possibly?).

Here is the media release:

February 2, 2017

SUBARU DEBUTS 2018 LEGACY AT THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW WITH MORE ELEGANT STYLING, UPGRADED INTERIOR, NEW SAFETY FEATURES AND ADVANCED MULTIMEDIA

Revised front and rear styling for sportier look.

Redesigned interior with more premium materials.

Ride made even smoother and quieter.

Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

New available Steering Responsive LED Headlight system.

New multimedia capabilities.

Cherry Hill, N.J. - Subaru of America, Inc., which posted its eighth consecutive year of record-breaking sales, today announced that it will debut the 2018 Legacy midsize sedan at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show on February 9th. The new Legacy features revised styling and significant upgrades to comfort, safety, and multimedia capability. In addition to major changes, myriad smaller engineering and design details throughout the 2018 Legacy enhance the driving experience. The 2018 Subaru Legacy will go on sale this summer.

The 2018 Legacy, the roomiest sedan in the midsize segment, is available in a 2.5i model with an efficient and responsive 175-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder BOXER engine, or, as the Legacy 3.6R with a 256-hp 3.6-liter 6-cylinder BOXER engine. Both engines come teamed as standard with the Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with manual mode and paddle shift control switches. A retuned ECU for 2018 provides the CVT with more responsive and smoother acceleration. The 2.5i will be available in standard, Premium, and Sport trims; Limited offers a choice of 2.5i or 3.6R engines. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring are standard in all trims, making the Legacy the only midsize sedan to feature all-wheel drive as standard on all models.

Already an exemplar of passenger safety, the Legacy adds to its array of driver-assist features for 2018, including available new Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH). Available in conjunction with LED headlights, SRH aims the lights into turns as the driver steers. Also for 2018, Limited models with EyeSight utilize the systems’ cameras for High Beam Assist, which automatically turn the high beams on and off depending on traffic conditions.

Sportier, Yet More Elegant Design

The Legacy wears a sportier and more elegant look for 2018, highlighted by wider, lower grille openings and new bumper that complement the wider Subaru hexagonal grille, now with distinctive wing element. The C-shaped headlights and parking lights and new horizontal lines extending outward from the grille subtly suggest the piston motion of the BOXER engine, a Subaru core technology. The redesigned headlights now feature distinctive “Konoji” daytime LED running lights.

Available LED fog lamps lend a sophisticated image. Other design details bolster the luxury-class appearance for the 2018 Legacy, including new high-contrast wheel designs and two rich new exterior colors, Magnetite Gray Metallic and Crimson Red Pearl. From the rear, the 2018 Legacy conveys a wider, more planted stance, although the car measures the same width as before. The new tailpipe design integrated into the lower fascia adds a premium touch.

More Responsive and Quieter

Subaru went through the Legacy chassis to make the 2018 model even more comfortable to drive, while also retuning its suspension to enhance agility and steering and brake feel. Retuned dampers reduce the initial impact of bumps while also reducing body roll through turns. Smoother, more linear response from the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and a firmer, more direct brake-pedal feel also make the Legacy more engaging to drive.

Already lauded for its quiet ride, the Legacy moves another step up in cabin comfort for 2018 with further reductions from all noise sources. The Lineartronic CVT on 2.5-liter equipped cars now uses a quieter ultra-short-pitch chain, and adjustments to engine timing under acceleration further reduce powertrain noise. Reshaped exterior mirrors are among a number of enhancements that help reduce noise entering the cabin. New sound-insulating inner film glass for the front side windows makes the front seat area quieter, while thicker rear wheel well aprons reduce rear seat ambient noise.

More Comfort, More Tech

The 2018 Subaru Legacy debuts an interior with new premium materials and a redesigned center console with an available 8-inch display screen for enhanced multimedia capabilities. On Premium and higher trims, real stitching on the dash, seats and door panels along with high-gloss black trim and silver-color bezels for various controls enhance the high-quality feel of the Legacy cabin. A new gray interior is now available, in addition to black or ivory. The steering wheel is all new with a sportier look and feel.

Subaru enhanced Legacy comfort in both large and small ways for 2018. The air conditioning system cools the cabin more quickly and provides more uniform temperature throughout the cabin. Subaru moved the temperature setting indicator to inside the control dial for more intuitive operation. As an added convenience on all models, interior power is retained for a short time after the ignition has been switched off. A redesigned clock is now larger and easier to read.

SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia

The 2018 Legacy gains the brand’s latest SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia system with Bluetooth wireless capability, iPod control, smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more. The top-level system includes TomTom navigation with 3 years of free map updates. Two USB power ports are added to the back of the center console for rear seat passengers’ convenience.

The standard STARLINK 6.5” Multimedia system is an upgrade from the previous STARLINK 6.2” system and offers quicker performance. The available STARLINK 8.0” system debuts a new 8-inch central display that uses a faster CPU to greatly increase startup speed, giving the touch screen a more smartphone-like operation and feel. More smartphone-linked operations improve the multimedia experience while reducing the need to divert eyes from the road or hands from the steering wheel.

The use of two microphones and Technology by Nuance (maker of Dragon Dictation apps for PCs and other devices) significantly improves the voice recognition capabilities. The driver can more easily use Apple Siri or OK Google voice commands. The system is also compatible with multiple languages.

Among standard features on all SUBARU STARLINK systems are Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, iPod control, a USB port and auxiliary input jack. High-line trims add more features, including dual USB ports. Smartphone integration features Aha and Pandora, along with STARLINK cloud applications iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Calendar, Music Player, News and Weather.

Apps added for 2018 include:

Magellan NAVI offers advanced cloud-based mapping

eBird advises of local bird sightings and locations

Best Parking locates and compares parking rates

YELP delivers crowd sourced reviews of businesses

Glympse provides real-time location sharing

RightTrack monitors driving habits and recommends improvements

Quick Guide is a digital reference guide for the vehicle

eventseeker provides information on local events

The new Legacy STARLINK Multimedia systems are also compatible with OTA (Over the Air) updates using WiFi.

Safety Leader with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology

The Subaru Legacy builds on its long record as a safety standout for 2018, with Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) and newly available Steering Responsive Headlight (SRH) system. RAB can detect objects in vehicle’s path and convey audible warnings to the driver, including showing distance and position of the object in the center display screen.

Also new for 2018, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) now detects pressure changes at each tire. The Blind Spot Detection/Rear Cross Traffic Alert indicator lamp is larger and has been moved from the mirror surface to the side of the mirror. In highline trims, redesigned LED turn signals in the mirrors are easier for other drivers to see.

All Legacy trim lines come standard with a rear-view camera. New for 2018, when reversing, the guidelines displayed on the screen move in sync with the steering to provide more accurate vehicle positioning.

The brand’s available award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, available on most trims, includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Vehicle Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist. Models with EyeSight also come with Blind Spot Detection/Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which includes Lane Change Assist. For 2018, all Legacy models are equipped with Incline Start Assist and the electronic Hill Holder System that holds the vehicle in place until the driver applies the throttle.

The 2018 Subaru Legacy also helps take care of personal security. Standard Welcome Lighting automatically operates cabin illumination and exterior lights as the driver approaches or departs the vehicle. New for 2018 are automatic locking doors. Subaru also made child seat installation easier in the 2018 Legacy with improved LATCH anchors.

Two Levels of SUBARU BOXER Power

The Legacy 2.5i is powered by a 175-hp double overhead cam (DOHC) 2.5-liter BOXER engine that produces 174 lb-ft peak torque. The Active Grille Shutter system helps to improve fuel economy by reducing wind resistance. The DOHC 3.6-liter 6-cylinder BOXER engine in the Legacy 3.6R produces 256 hp and 247 lb-ft of peak torque, sustaining 90 percent of peak torque from 2,000-6,000 rpm for exceptional response at all vehicle speeds.

In all Legacy models, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is an active AWD system that uses an electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch to actively manage torque distribution based on acceleration, deceleration and available traction. The system automatically directs up to 100 percent of available torque to the wheels with the best grip.

SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services

Two SUBARU STARLINK packages are available and are among the most affordable in the industry. The STARLINK Safety Plus package, which is complimentary for the first year and $99 per year after that, includes SOS Emergency Assistance, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, Maintenance Notifications, Monthly Vehicle Health Report and Diagnostic Alerts. For even greater peace of mind, the STARLINK Safety Plus & Security Plus Package adds Stolen Vehicle Recovery Service, Vehicle Security Alarm Notification, Remote Lock/Unlock, Remote Horn and Lights and Remote Vehicle Locator.

Subaru of America, Inc. offers a full line of all-wheel drive sedans, crossovers and SUVs, along with the rear-wheel drive BRZ sports car. The Impreza, Legacy and Outback are built at Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA).

So I'm confused.... Are they ready?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only thing I could think is try reapplying both parts 1 and 2.

 

Also, I didn't try it on Mac but I don't see why it couldn't be done. I believe disk utility lets you format into FAT32 and from there you should be fine as it's just unzip and drag+drop a file.

Yeah it does but the file itself won't work if it has to be unzipped.

^^^^ that is the issue I and many other people had. Fixed it with the update. It is also in the read me file as a line fix.

Yeah at this point I got my Bluetooth working again so guess I'll just have to live with plugging my phone into a USB power adapter instead of the ones that came built in with the car.

When I go to another dealership I'll have then install the update again when I get the steering wheel installed but I lost faith in this one dealers ability to do anything other than change my oil (cause it's free).

I have a new 7 Plus and zero issues with my NAV.

CT2015, Securityguy has an iphone 7+ and I have a 6+. I'm running iOS 10.2. Neither of us have issues with the gps working while tethered to the HU. Have you verified the version levels after the updates?

Just to clarify; the issue isn't with the vehicle navigation system. The issue is with the iPhone iOS maps applications (Waze, Google Maps and Apple Maps) when it is plugged into the USB port of the vehicle.

CT2015, Does the Vehicle Customization menu work? or hangs? How about Vehicle Monitor? Neither of those 2 worked for me after the first attempt of Update #2. Once it took, all started working.

Vehicle Customization & Monitor works without issue and doesn't hang at all.

Yup; iPhone 7 Plus still not working no matter how long plugged in.

GPS will move but speed isn't updated and maps seem to still think the car is parked along with moving as shown in the photo above.

Well Bluetooth is working and backup DB file now showing no issue.

GPS location in mobile map applications still not working though. Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze.
