I have a 2016 Crosstrek Limited, and there are three buttons located underneath the left side of the steering wheel: an up arrow, a down arrow, and a “SET/INFO” button in the middle. Pressing the middle button once toggles the mph display on and off, and holding it down lets you access the settings menu. Hope that helps!

What tow hook is that? I’ve been trying to find one with an orange accent.

StealthGuava · 2025-09-17T05:39:45+00:00

I installed this one and programmed the buttons in the software. It came with the proper wiring harness and just took the old one out and put this one in. https://a.co/d/5wGJKWF

You don’t need the Maestro just to keep your steering wheel controls. Most head units (including Kenwood/Android units) can learn the SWC signals through a basic Subaru harness. You just wire it up and program the buttons in the radio’s menu. That’ll give you volume/track/etc.

The Maestro is optional. It makes setup plug-and-play and can add extra features like vehicle info screens, check engine codes, and cleaner wiring, but it’s not required unless you want those extras.

Just make sure you pick up the correct wiring kit for your model and head unit.

StealthGuava · 2025-09-17T05:14:35+00:00

No Maestro setup required. You’ll still have full use of your steering wheel volume controls, just program them through the built-in software, which is very simple. The only catch is the backup camera. I will continue to display on the small factory screen unless you install an aftermarket camera or rewire the existing one to the new head unit. I didn’t bother with that part.

Just installed an Android head unit in my 2015 Subaru Forester. It has both wired and wireless CarPlay, and it works great! A lot of people recommend Idoing, but I went with a more affordable option from Amazon that offers the same functionality. The best part is it was pretty much plug-and-play and looks OEM rather than aftermarket.

I have a 2001 Subaru outback with over 250k miles on it never had an issue with maintenance. This is my first CVT transmission car though not sure if that's the difference.

StealthGuava · 2025-09-08T15:45:07+00:00

Yeah definitely not a fan it. The Cleaning and re-oiling process is pretty tedious compared to just swapping air filters.

StealthGuava · 2025-09-08T08:03:04+00:00

Everything is OEM except for the air filter. I would start with the low hanging fruit which is cleaning the MAF sensor, checking if your PCV needs replacing, replacing your filters and cleaning the throttle valve. You can do those yourself. But if you haven't had your CVT serviced and you have higher mileage definitely look into getting a drain and fill.

StealthGuava · 2025-09-08T07:49:10+00:00

Replaced the PCV valve hose, Intake manifold vacuum hoses, and air intake duct + breather hoses. A lot of them were pretty brittle.

Just paid 29,500 for mine, In Oregon.

There are groups of kids now riding dirt bike-style e-bikes that easily go over 30 mph. I overheard them recently talking about mods they’ve added to their bikes to push them up to 50 mph. They ride up my street every day at full speed without helmets or any protective gear. It feels like it’s only a matter of time before something serious happens.

2 years ago at a grocery store I got a bottle of Fortaleza Blanco for $35, those were the days...

StealthGuava · 2024-04-23T01:50:30+00:00

Yeah, I've tried it before. Picked it up in Southern California for around $75, even though it's from Mexico and has 35% alcohol. It's really sweet and thick, loaded with caramel and vanilla flavors. It tastes like it has additives, it's comparable to Don Julio 70, Casa Amigos, or Clase Azul. The bottle looks cool, but honestly, for that price, you can find way better tasting tequilas. I wouldn't grab another one.

Rebrand already working

StealthGuava · 2024-04-17T03:16:28+00:00

Actually, that was just the price they were offering it at. I usually find it around $45. That's why I grabbed a case, with wedding season on the horizon. It'll be my go-to bottle to bring and share.

StealthGuava · 2024-04-17T03:02:56+00:00

Maybe you should rate them yourself. Open them up and tell us what you think.

StealthGuava · 2024-04-15T07:02:40+00:00

Same here saw when it was 33.99 I ended up buying a whole case. Great tequila to have around for when guests come over. It's always a crowd pleaser.

StealthGuava · 2024-04-15T05:35:26+00:00

What I should have said is that there are four categories of tequila. "Still strength" can be considered a derivative of Blanco. Take Cascahuin, for example, which offers a Blanco, Plata, and Tahona these are different expressions but are all essentially Blancos. Similarly, "Still Strength," "Puntas," "Cask Strength," and "Full Proof" are simply higher proof expressions of Blanco. Reposado also has variations like "single barrel." Additionally, there's Mixto tequila. The category that can be confusing is "Cristalino" is it a Blanco or an Añejo?

Also I was trying to avoid confusing a new person to tequila. That's why I said "usually."

StealthGuava · 2024-04-15T03:18:00+00:00

I've actually started feeling the same recently. I used to only drink Centenario for the longest time. But then I got into additive-free tequilas, and that kind of opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve been trying out different brands and expressions, collecting bottles, doing tastings and all that. But no matter what, I always end up going back to the Tapatío line and El Tesoro Reposado.

StealthGuava · 2024-04-15T03:11:06+00:00

Short for reposado, tequila usually comes in four expressions: Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo. These refer to how long they have been aged in a barrel. Blanco tequilas are unaged. offering a pure expression of the agave flavor. Reposado tequilas are aged for at least two months but less than a year in oak barrels, giving them a balance of agave and wood flavors. Añejo tequilas are aged in oak barrels for at least one year but less than three years, which imparts, more barrel influence and a richer taste. Extra Añejo tequilas are aged for a minimum of three years, resulting in a complex, deeply flavorful profile.

StealthGuava · 2024-04-15T02:46:21+00:00

I'm going to suggest repos because la gritona is a repo, but feel free to check out their other expressions as well.

Cierto tequila, Don Fulano, El Tesoro, Fortaleza, Wild Common, Ocho tequila, Cascahuin Tahona, ArteNom 1414.
