Saberplane Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Had my car at the dealer yesterday. That TSB is Not Applicable for the 2015 3.6R with Nav. In wondering if it's worth contacting SOA, have a feeling some of our dealers are too lazy to do it, or just simply don't understand why we want the update.

vicvega Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Your dealer is an idiot...your current version is NU9006, the latest version (the one in the update via the TSB) is version NU9017...9 versions newer than what is in your car... Look on page 6 HERE You my friend are correct! I will do this myself. I just need to make sure that I download the correct files. I need to confirm that I have a 7 inch display. I'm guessing when you display the version on your head unit it will display a higher version. Also I would assume being a Technical Analyst my self the upgrade would not move forward it the unit already had a newer version.

They also seem to suggest hooking it up to a battery charger while it's doing the update. Not sure that is really needed. Interested in doing this myself as well.

How long did the update take to the complete and how did you gain access to subaru net? Looks like you need a SOA login for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 For some reason, when they're inputting the VIN, it's not showing up as an available TSB. Even on the Subaru TIS website, if you input 2015 with Subaru Legacy, this TSB is not shown at all. The dealer said they only perform Subaru updates/upgrades that are specifically listed for the VIN and/or MY, and this TSB isn't showing up as being applicable for it. So I'm assuming others here that are experiencing the same thing, is due to that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if an owner can download this? Is there a specific user name and password for owners or does it have to be done by a dealer ?

ammcinnis Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Does anyone know if an owner can download this? It is intended to be dealer-only. That said, Subaru would not be responsible for any updates an owner attempted to do himself/herself. The "big boy" warranty applies to such self-updates.

bigbearsfan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Going back to an idea Vicvega mentioned. Does anyone know if the 2018 nav head unit will fit in a 2016? I have a 2016 Limited with Nav. I'd be willing to hunt down a 2018 head unit if it'd fit. I got my wife a 2018 Honda Pilot and the android auto feature is great.

I prefer the OEM look and i want to maintain the ability to view some of the car functions through the head unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2016 Limited with Nav. I'd be willing to hunt down a 2018 head unit if it'd fit. Simple answer is, No; not without making it look ugly. It's a tiny bit smaller than the 15-16, so you'll have gaps in some places. The angles are also slightly off. Then you have the problem of the climate control module fitting correctly with the unit above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
