cdc782 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 ^^ I disagree with this statement. The Temp you set the system at affects the amount of air directed to the rear vents. I know it sounds silly, but it is true. Set the blower on 3-4speed Set the direction on whatever. (the OM says rear vents are always on.) Set the TEMP to 75*. Feel the back vent. Change the Temp to 60-61* Feel the back vent. The air flow will increase significantly. What this tells us, unfortunately, is that Subaru decided to control the rear vents in conjunction with temp. Unfortunately we do not get full control with direction and blower speed. So, in the winter, when my kids want hot air to blow out and warm them up, they get nothing. Instead the floor vents are supposed to fulfill this lofty goal. Unfortunately, my kids are in car seats and they throw their coats on the floor or there is a bag in the way and they get no floor heat due to an obstruction. At least they can get A/C when it is hot. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Actually I'm not sure there is a hookup. I looked into it a little more. It looks completely blocked off. We'd need a picture from a Limited to compare with. Any volunteers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorba Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Any updates? I think this looks like a good/cheapish mod to do. Anyone do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We need a limited owner to take some pictures! They'd have to remove all the shifter trim, center console sides, and air vents. Not exactly difficult to do but still not likely to happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaStream Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Bump. Interested in performing this mod in my 2018 Outback Premium. The problem is, folks with Limited won't even join this thread, so won't see all the requests for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
