Secret Hidden Features in your GR86 & BRZ

[@KevinVo]

Fun fact, the trunk holds exactly 1 full grown adult 😅

[@racerdawg86]

heh secret three seater when the actual seats are down

[@crisaldrinemasilang3125]

perfect for crimes😆

[@subarushubaduck489]

Can it fit two small children ?

[@Tanstin1]

What shall I do with this information...

[@Dylster501]

How many half grown?

[@RomanticPopPunk]

What sport car buyers want: Front bumper camera What manufactures think we want: fake engine noise

[@chimichanga-wanga]

Right! I wanna make sure to see my bumper aint gonna scrape the curb

[@spvcegxd]

That seatbelt hack was the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen. That was a full on cheat code 😂😂

[@KevinVo]

GTA prepared me for this moment 😅

[@Larkc-ty5sz]

is that real or is he trolling, i really cant tell lmao

[@cg841]

I tried this for an hour until my hands hurt and it didn’t work. So it’s trolling.

[@KevinVo]

@@cg841 it works. You may be doing it wrong.

[@jessekiks]

There's a real pedal dance cheat code with the GT86 generation

[@turbochoochoo]

The passenger door unlock tip actually is so useful. Thank you so much.

[@KevinVo]

Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching!

[@AirWing]

Just got my GR86 this past week and regarding the piped-in speaker/engine noise. You can now disable it from the dashboard menu. Looks like there was a software update to do exactly that.

[@thundering_fox]

Where is it located in the menu?

[@AirWing]

@@thundering_fox Mine was through the wheel -- Look for " ASC " on your dashboard and you should be able to flip it ON/OFF. If you don't have it, you'll have to go through the hardware method or take it to your dealership for a software update on the cluster.

[@thundering_fox]

@@AirWing Alright cool, I'll definitely have to check that out today, thanks a ton!

[@RowynDaily]

What is that fake engine noise use for?

[@ItsEddmc]

@@RowynDaily supposedly to make shifting by noise easier, but its just annoying.

[@DoubleOSevan]

These hidden features remind me of random button combos for cheat codes on old-school PlayStation games. 😂

[@KevinVo]

I've been training for this my whole life!

[@SpikeMoore]

Thanks for these tips! Shutting off the seat belt alarm is great, and a keyless code for the trunk is a big help as well. None of this is mentioned in the owners manual, but there are about 4 pages advising that we should not ingest the battery from the key fob. More of this kind of material if you have it!

[@nickt4731]

My favorite part was when he was pulling at the dash. stopped for a second and was like "I removed screws already, do not just pull at your dash"

[@KevinVo]

Can't have people breaking their dash and then blaming me!

[@oswaldgobblepot]

There is also a 12V outlet in the glove box. You can run a dash cam to that outlet instead of fuse box.👀

[@christianjoel96]

I ask the same ?

[@oswaldgobblepot]

@@christianjoel96 huh? Yes same as first gen

[@afbrat1963]

Mentioned at 8:30.

ah yes, we watched the same video till the end.

[@elib2670]

I was like why the fuck is there an outlet in there hahaha

[@Sm0keyeyes86]

I thought you were trolling about the seat belt and tried it, glad to say it actually worked thank you!

[@dannyve4982]

The seatbelt chime is actually nothing new. Been doing it since my 2007 Legacy. Works with every Subaru A very neat hack for sure. And yes, I recently just disabled my active sound control, a must. Now the trunk hack, that is cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

No one said it was new

[@dm53]

Seriously thought he was trolling at first with the trunk thing, that’s a really cool feature.

[@KevinVo]

I would never!

[@markowens9242]

These days, I get frustrated that I can't order that exact Neptune Blue Premium MT from dealers or find one at all

[@KevinVo]

I've been waiting over 6 months 🥲

[@McWorldcrafter]

Trying to get that in automatic and still can’t find one.

[@TPVBand]

I finally found one and literally had to pay 4k over msrp to get it 🤡

[@fearlessknight1343]

I came across a blue GR86, while pulling out of my complex this morning! Brought a smile to my face as its rare to see them in my area. I called it, the Blue Unicorn!

[@Gogo-bu6rd]

I have yet to see one irl no one owns a second gen in my area I swear

[@momlover75]

FYI. you can take it to the dealer to disable the "engine" sounds. It's a setting when they hook it up the computer. If you don't feel comfortable removing those panels. Also, i have see people unplug that speaker with just removing the side panel. its a little tricky. If only the one I "ordered" in December would actually show up!

[@FTspeed]

Yes, you can definitely bring it to the dealer if that is convenient! Also, Kevin only removed the panels so he could film the box for people to see. You certainly can remove it by just removing that one side panel. Kevin has been waiting since November so he knows how you feel.

[@momlover75]

@@FTspeed yeah, I understand why he took it all a part, just saying that in case someone want to try it saw all the parts being removed. Mine is "supposed" to be here next month is what the dealership told me last month. Also, hello from Omaha, i didn't realize you were in DSM. I visit WDSM on a regular basis.

[@DasDoom]

@@momlover75 I ordered my BRZ december 1st, it's also supposed to be here in june. I feel your pain.

[@momlover75]

@@DasDoom So I called the dealership yesterday to get an update. Appearently, Toyota had a cyber attack back in late feb (28th), and the allocation system is down. She said, that it could be sitting on the dock and we wouldn't know. lol They are now saying July.

[@DasDoom]

@@momlover75 I wouldn't know with Toyota, but hopefully you get it sooner. I just got my vin yesterday, so I'm looking mid to late June.

[@gnova3786]

Appreciate the videos. Was wondering if you were aware of any performance shops in the long island, NY area that could help me install a supercharger or turbo.

[@pielumax3301]

LoL, my 2003 Jdm Subaru legacy 2.0gt has the same entry passcode function..but it used for unlock doors by pull handles for 4 set of number

[@Ripperx121]

I really thought I knew everything about the car. And I am very wrong! Loved this video! Thank you!

[@KevinVo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vidibites]

5:09 I was like yes finally…and then found that under the ‘keyless entry system menu’ I only have the middle option, audible signal and unlock all doors is not there. Is this a US software thing? I’m in the UK. It also not in the mini menu on the dash.

[@williamadams9869]

Can I preform the same coded locking function with my 2023 GR86 🧐?

[@CruiseControl1]

Seriously this was great to learn about. I only knew of the tps, and how to remove the sound generator before this video. Thank you

How do u set the walk away don’t need 2 click fob lock function ?

[@74mayberry]

I’m not sure about the new GEN, but the previous GEN that I have does not say that I have heated outside mirrors in the manual or anywhere, but one day when I turned on my rear defogger the outside mirrors started steaming and clearing, bonus!

[@Joe-uf9ml]

For gen 1 it came with the winter weather package, which also included heated seats. So I think if you have heated seats you also have heated mirrors

[@74mayberry]

@@Joe-uf9ml I never researched the winter weather package, I obviously have it because of the heated seats. I’ve have/owned cars that have heated outside mirrors and they have a small “heat” icon on the mirror, because my BRZ doesn’t have that and there is no mention of it in the manual and after hearing about the lack of features that this car has, it was a shock for me to have a “bonus” feature

[@alamos8]

Why hsve production GR86s the tailpioes so buried into the rear diffuser? On the marketing pictures they look much better inline with the diffuser or even actually a bit protruded

[@ssupriyanto]

Of course these are very helpful, thanks man!

[@pemtax557]

As always, your videos are full of great information, well organized, interesting and above all, easy to watch and follow. Thanks for your time and effort ... I'm now a new sub ... Cheers, Dave

[@FlamingPhoenix1425]

I wish the GR86 had the 86 logo on the steering wheel like the old gen GT86

[@danielzwanink7714]

Same that was such a nice touch don't know why they got rid of it. Although if the steering wheel is the same you might be able to swap it over.

[@joechiro]

Thank man!!!!!

[@Drifthaze]

Great video, I actually saved to so when I get a Gr86 I can do some of those things.

[@thevics123]

Keep the setting where the door handle only unlocks your side of the door. Turn off the setting where when you put the car in parked, it unlocks all of the doors. While these may seem as convenient features, they will compromise your safety, criminals will simply wait for you to unlock the door or put the car into parked and then run up on you.

[@blackgoku1355]

When are you guys gonna install the gr canards?

[@mercgr86]

Hello, when I start the vehicle engine and starts driving the car doors never locks by itself automatically, is there any tips?

[@Crowuhh]

the car doesn’t come w auto locking unfortunately

[@nathanielfoo96]

3:00 What happens if you key it wrong? What about the touch sensor on the doors, do you think there's anything special there? like the same as the trunk?

[@KevinVo]

I honestly didn't try entering in the code wrong to see what would happen, but I'd imagine it would start beeping at you and you would have to start over. There is no similar feature with the sensors on the doors.

same! i daily mine and it’s been great! other than when i got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on my hour drive to work 😅 my left leg wasn’t very happy that day (manual things haha)

[@goomerpyle6005]

these cars arent really that great for dailying, they dont get exceptional mpg, they ride a bit rougher, they dont have much space, and especially with the 86, they are not very fast in a straight line which is pretty much daily driving... how often do you attack bends in your day to day commute? 🤣

[@yobs.]

@@goomerpyle6005 it gets smiles per gallon ;) but yes, you aren’t wrong. it’s not nearly as convenient to daily as something like a prius, honda civic, etc. but those gripes don’t bother me personally haha i’ve gotten used to it and find it quite fun to drive to work so to each their own :)

Works on both the GR86 and BRZ. You have to do it within 30 seconds of putting the car in the on position.

[@Huesaflash]

Can the TPMS light be disabled if I dont run sensors?

[@wescam]

Some third party diagnostic tools (120 USD and up, generally) allow you to set the TPMS to zero, essentially. I did this with my Jeeps using the older style tool that is popular for off-roaders. You had to set tiny dip switches and plug it in to teach the vehicle 0 was good to go. The newer ones have a nice user interface, but maybe wait until we know the GR86 is included in the software. (Models like the Autel TS408 do software updates online, as do the higher end ODB scan tools).

The audacity of this dogwater company is hilarious. For those that don't know, Kevin Vo was fired from FT Speed on 12/13/2022 in a disgusting way. Buy your parts from somewhere else than FTSpeed or Subispeed folks; support somewhere that supports its employees and treats them with respect. An 8-year, passionate, face-of-your company employee deserves the respect and courtesy of at least a conversation being had about any conflicts of interest or things that would necessitate termination of employment if continued. To outright fire him out of the blue without giving him a heads up or notice that something he is doing/saying will not fly and deny him the ability to make an informed decision on what his options are going forward reflects poorly upon FTSpeed/Subispeed. In a game where you just play the middleman, I will gladly take my business elsewhere to some other middleman that isn't FTSpeed/SubiSpeed; there are a plethora of other options out there that can access more or less the same catalogue of items. FTSpeed/Subiespeed did Kevin Vo dirty, when Kevin Vo was a SIGNIFICANT part of why the company is as successful as it is today - hopefully yall's marketshare takes a deserving hit and Kevin lands somewhere that will treat him better and be worthy of the good-business his passion and efforts bring forth. If you enjoy content like this, look up and support Kevin Vo's personal youtube channel, where I'm sure he'll be continuing to put out excellent, valueable content without getting screwed by SubiSpeed.

[@kulebrero]

The engine noise isn’t fake. It’s actually the car’s engine sound on a speaker. Seems like a useless gimmick except it’s helpful when you’re on a track with the windows open (usually a safety requirement) and can’t hear the engine to know when to shift. People are connecting the speaker back on to go on track.

[@TheXboxSux]

Yeah, it was an oversight to not allow volume control, or at the very least mode change, inside of the infotainment system for the piped in noise.

[@Twister7Studios]

There is atleast one with rodknock at our local dealer already. Haven't diagnosed it yet

[@fortheloveofnoise]

It's a Subaru engine...so basically anything can happen...it might die right away, sometime before warranty ends, right after warranty ends, or last a long long time with no problems.....the last and first options being the least likely....do with that what you will....but wait until pandemic and shortages are over so you get a better built car. Don't get one that is built any sooner than 2024.

[@lexiarie6545]

These engines have been pretty reliable; the most common/expected problem is oil starvation whether it’s build-up blocking the oil from getting through, or using too thin oil on track. Obviously this will ruin your engine, but they’re user-error problems; not Subaru problems. If you take care of the car correctly then you’ll be fine. It’s recommended you use premium, but most people tune these for e85 because it gives better performance + it’s cheaper + these things have good mpg so it doesn’t tear away at your mpg badly
