Voice navigation clipping


Recommended Posts

2015 Legacy with up to date software:

 

When turn by turn instructions are voiced by the car, the front part is often clipped.

 

For example, where it should say “Turn left on Apple Street “, what we hear is “ft on Apple Street”

 

It seems to happen pretty often.

 

Anyone else with this issue?

IMPORTANT: When replacing a power ampli er under warranty

or an Added Security Gold plan, an exchange unit must be ordered

directly through the Harman Kardon Exchange Program. In the event

the vehicle is “New” and “In-Stock”, contact the Harman Kardon

Service Center. A new unit will be supplied. If the Service Center is

unable to provide a new unit, immediately contact a Subaru Retailer

Claims Specialist at 1-866-782-2782 for further instructions. See TSB 15-172-14R or 15-190-15 for more details and exchange unit ordering instructions. The Harman Kardon Service Center is open from 8am - 8pm Eastern time and can be reached by calling 1-800-448-0944.

Had my 2015 from new and never had this issue previously. It literally only started doing exactly this to me too on the same date that the OP started this thread.

 

TBS noted and I had already figured it was related to Bluetooth somehow. On next startup I drove for a while with Bluetooth off and not entirely sure if its corrected itself. But as I said, in two and a half years of ownership and using Bluetooth music and calls I'd not seen the issue before this week.

 

Edit: my car is dealer serviced and having just had one completed last week I might call and see if they did any updates during this service as the issue has only just appeared.
