I’m in the process of getting the splash guards. Only question I have is there are two available for the 3.6r that I have- a sport and a non-sport, but both say they fit. Any ideas? The SKU are J101SAL340 and J101SAL330

Update in case anyone is interested. Dealer installed new amp this morning but this did not fix the problems. They are ordering a new radio. Hope this fixes the issues.

That’s the issue- the command button or PTT in other cars. I have to turn it to way beyond 26-34 to hear is and it almost sounds like it comes out of only one speaker. If you say a command, and it’s verifying what you said or she says anything else, I have to jack up the volume while she’s talking to hear her. The tech said this is not normal and he verified this himself while in the car with me.

It’s definitely not iOS related, since CarPlay is perfect. This is a push to talk button and nav volume issue. If I don’t have my phone in the car, it’s the same. If I use the Subaru in dash nav- the volume is super low- have to turn it to over 26 to hear it and it sounds like it’s coming through a pillow. If I push the PTT button to bring up any commas, like make a call or change HVAC settings, it’s the same super low volume. If it says “please say a command” you cannot hear it. The radio is fine though and so are calls over Bluetooth. I just cannot hear commands is the nav.

Had the tech look at it. He said he had never seen something like this before and thinks it’s the amplifier. I questioned this because why would the radio/CarPlay be fine, but not the nav or push to talk button for voice controls. He said if that doesn’t solve they will try a new head unit. I’m a betting man and wager this will eventually end with me getting a new head unit.

I’m bringing it in to the Subaru dealer on the 1st for the recall and to check the audio. It’s really weird.

Greetings everyone. I recently purchased a preowned 2018 Legacy 3.6R and have been having issues with this audio system. I have tried every volume adjustment i can think of, but whenever i use the steering wheel control for the voice prompt to call or navigate, the volume is EXTREMELY low. I literally have to turn it up to 30-34 for it to be heard. It's almost like it's only coming out of one of front speakers and nothing else. This is also the same for navigation. The prompts are equally low, and barely audible. Everything else is fine. The radio,which i cannot figure out how to turn "off", is great at level 12-14. Same with XM, or Carplay, the volume is OK. I've tinkered with the myriad of volume adjustments and nothing seems to be working! My wife thinks i'm losing it, but she hasn't had to deal with this yet.
