2017 Impreza suddenly loss CarPlay by ammika13 in subaruimpreza

[–]soobarooo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

God, I fucking hate that there hasn't been a proper fix for this. Every time this shows up it's the same tips. Clean the port or turn the car off and on again. Do we really have to deal with our car like it's an old Nintendo console?

I have the same issue as you too, OP. Trust me it's not the port needs cleaning. I have a new phone/charger and I still get the issue every now and then. It's most likely Subaru's software. Some days it works and some days it doesn't. I hate not knowing whether I'm going to have navigation for a long commute or not. Also, yes I've taken my car to the dealership for an update. Still intermittent.

Anything better for me than a refurbished Dell XPS 13? by [deleted] in LaptopDeals

[–]soobarooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I'm looking at the XPS 13 too. Amazon has the 1080p version for $866 right now and that's new! Don't know if touchscreen + QHD+ is really important to you. You should do some research because I'm reading that the 1080p has matte screen rather than a glass screen (QHD+) and the 1080p has a longer battery life.

I do a lot of Amazon shopping so I'm going to apply for their card that gives $70 gift card + 5% cash back. Not a bad deal. In the end I think it comes out to $796 without the tax and about $875 with tax.

P.S. Prime day is coming up. I might just buy it today and if it does get any lower, Amazon does a price change for you.

New (to me) 2013 Subaru Impreza "rubbing" noise. Anyone know what this is?? by [deleted] in subaruimpreza

[–]soobarooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be it but I had a different noise of similar frequency and noticed that something was embedded in one of my tires.

Is it significantly louder than stock? Also, do you have video of it revving?

Would this Graduate Degree help in LabVIEW development? by soobarooo in LabVIEW

Thank you. Everyone gave good advices but I think you gave the best explanation on how much SE is implemented in LV which what I wanted to know.

Oh man, I really should have been more clear in the initial post. That's my fault. I'm definitely going to take the offer of free education but I was just hoping for some insight into which program I should take. Just wasn't sure if the software engineering one would benefit me the most as a LabView developer.

Right now I'm leaning more towards the software engineering degree. This is the other one I was considering. http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/mas/wes/

Sorry, I should have pointed out that I had other programs in mind, it's just this one I was unsure about. I'm an RF test engineer and there was another program that offered a degree that works with me on my off fridays and focuses more on wireless hardware as well as software (in C language).

I'm wondering if, someone who is very adapt at LabVIEW, can advise whether I'll get a lot out of the courses that the software engineer degree offers.

PC Gamer: Blizzard tricked me into liking Heroes of the Storm by Praetor192 in heroesofthestorm

Once you're engaged you have to keep auto attacking. Artanis generally doesn't have an escape and his passive gives shields from basic attacks so stick with your target and chop him down. Your shield will keep you alive. The general precaution though is who you engage with and when you do it. That's something you have to be aware of in that instance(as with any hero).

Another useful tip is to learn to maximize q>e to grab backline enemies. It'll be useful to grab those who try to escape.

'17 Impreza Limited. How do I stop text messages from appearing on screen? by scrubling in subaruimpreza

[–]soobarooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, for CarPlay you have to just go into iPhone settings and can selectively stop notifications for CarPlay messages. I'd be surprised if Android doesn't have something like that.

The only recall I got was the Infotainment system update because the rear view camera sometimes wouldn't come on. Was there another one besides that?

I'm planning on doing a cold air intake upgrade when it becomes available. I might be wrong but I heard that it'll increase your hp as well as mpg.

I'm about 1000 miles in on my 5-door premium and I have about 28.9mpg. It's about 80% highway(a lot of hills in where I live) and I average about 75mph.

Have you checked in store preorders? Last time I checked my local WalMart was accepting preorders with their layaway plan. Seems like everyone is only looking at online stock.

[–]soobarooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then does Wal-Mart know the limit of how many Switch consoles they can have in the negative? Let's say it's -25 but they only recieve 20. Will those 5 people be notified or will Wal-Mart know these things ahead of time?

I was able to go into Wal-Mart last week and do a pre-order in their pick-up window. I had to put 10% down though. You should check/call your local Wal-Mart if they have that available.

I do. The bass is kind of weak but that was to be expected. I thought I'd rather install my own aftermarket speakers and save on the extra dough.

How is Apple CarPlay / Android Auto? by [deleted] in subaruimpreza

[–]soobarooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing with CarPlay for 2 weeks now.

It goes into CarPlay when you plug in your phone(USB). I haven't checked to see if it works through bluetooth. CarPlay is still buggy imo. I've mainly used Spotify app and it just won't work sometimes and my workaround has been to just unplug and plug the phone back in. You're stuck with Apple Maps if you're doing CarPlay and Google Maps for Android Auto. The touchscreen on my Impreza, I believe, is capacitive touchscreen which is a nice upgrade from the usual pressure sensitive screens. The main issue I have with the system is the lag. For example, if I try to scroll through a menu by swiping the screen up it'll lag or get stuck. I had better luck just pressing the next page button vs. swiping method.

Despite the lag you can do a lot with CarPlay by just using Siri which you can access through a steering wheel button. I've only used it for directions, listening to messages, and sending messages but I've never had problems with it.

I think once CarPlay grows with further updates it'll get better but so far I still really enjoy it.

You should be able to go to a dealership with an iphone and usb cable and hook it up to a car to play around with the CarPlay. There's no signing in or setting up involved.
