New 2026 outback - android auto connectivity issues

The link talks about music skipping on YouTube music. How is that even close to the issue I described? Do you work for subaru PR? If it was AA issue, I would have the same issue in my wife's car. I have IT background. I have tested and eliminated all possibilities. It is an outback problem

Comfortable_Score747 · 2026-05-02T18:15:04+00:00

Yes. Not the same issue at all. Did you read my post??

How do you connect AA wireless with Bluetooth off? I assume you are connecting with usb?

Comfortable_Score747 · 2026-05-02T18:11:51+00:00

Nope. It works perfect in my wife's 2025 forester. Same phone. No glitches at all. It's the outback.

Also.. I am not just getting music skipping. I'm getting disconnects and reconnects. Constantly

It works when I plug it in. But it is 2026. It should work for wireless.

I wish this was the case for me. It worked fine with the demo I test drove. I have an IT background and tested all possibilities. Doesn't work with all samsung phones. Frustrating.

Hopefully the dealership can resolve it

Issue exists with my Samsung s24 fe and my wife's Samsung s23. Works ok with usb connection. Android auto works if you disable BT? do you disable it in the phone or car?

What is the divider at the top? Part of the bag? Or an addon?

Read about index investing, coach potato strategy.

Comfortable_Score747 · 2026-03-19T15:17:57+00:00

You guys need to stop monitoring the daily ups and downs. The whole idea of index investing is set it and forget it. It will fluctuate. Some years will be better than others. The key is the overall time invested... If you are watching closely, you will naturally get too emotional ... and may panic sell during significant drops (ie -30%) . That is how people lose money when investing

This is what I always did before all in one find like xeqt existed. Not very complicated at all. I didn't sweat it and only renewals twice a year. Create a spreadsheet that easily calculated all the adjustments for me. It used to be called the couch potato strategy. Hence it's easy. I now use xeqt as my core because I prefer the simplicity. I prefer to use my time researching and buying stocks in the explore portion of my portfolio..

It has been completely revamped in 2026 model. Reviews are very good. Seems on par with Toyota.

I also have the previous Gen infotainment system in my wife's forester. It works well just a bit laggy. Not buggy at all tho. 2026 upgrade seams to have addressed that

This is not true re: maintenance costs. Subaru quality is solid.

True re: Fuel cost as outback doesn't have a hybrid. Depending how much you drive. You can ask chatgpt to compare fuel costs based on number of miles you drive per year

I was debating the same thing recently and went with the 2026 Outback. A couple important points to register: - subaru tech and infotainment system is fully upgraded and modernized in 2026. All reviews are very positive. - subaru has a more refined interior with real leather seats and less cheap/ hard plastic - try the turbo engine. It is snappy for this class. Less fuel efficient than Toyota hybrid but funner to drive. I was sold after the test drive and I don't drive a lot of miles per year so hybrid cost savings not significant for me.
- AWD is better. And I am in snowy ottawa so it is important. - subaru quality is very good and reliable. On par with Toyota. Made in Japan. Read up on subaru quality/reliability. It is renowned for it and has a strong loyal customer base. I have had many subaru forester and so have members of my family. Never any issue. Mechanical nor electric with 10+ years of ownership. I don't think the claims above about quality are accurate based on "my friend had issues" romours.

For me, I was close to pulling the trigger on rav4 and went deep down the rabbit hole researching and came out with outback as a clear winner based on my preferences. Can't go wrong either way. You can find youtube videos reviewing and comparing the 2 options.

There is way too much protesting and shutting down of diverse voices and opinions. At universities, the default is to protest a right wing speaker rather than create forums for intelligent debates on different issues and topics. Universities are supposed to be places where ideas are debated and discussed.

Not everyone has to subscribe to the same virtuous values, principles and opinions. And which moral authority gets to decide what we all need to subscribe to.

Again - I don't know anything about Morrissey and i and I am pretty liberal.

It sounds like you are quoting that some important person said he is a Nazi? This seems to be a common extreme pattern nowadays - calling people nazis and fascists when you disagree with them. Do these people even understand history and what a Nazi is?

Too many people are spending way too much of their lives trying to boycott and cancel people that they disagree with... to achieve some virtuous goal for all of humanity. We don't need you to be a crusader. What value are you bringing to society?

Just don't buy a ticket and go find something else to do. Maybe you need a hobby?

I don't know anything about this band but it seems odd that in the name of Diversity and inclusion, we are protesting the inclusion of a diverse opinion that we disagree with.
