Hey Alex. I've been. Subaru owner for decades and recently purchased a New Forester. My first ever brand new vehicle!! Your videos have been invaluable to me, as my salespeople only demonstrated three or four very basic features. Your likeable personality and knowledge have been a godsend. I suspect I'm wrong, but I hope the Subaru organization supports you financially for your online work beyond what you make as a salesman. In fact, I'd propose that The Great Eye of Subaru hires you exclusively to produce videos to accompany new purchases. Because in my opinion, it's encyclopedic owners manual is only useful in a Jack London situation where the wind and wolves are howling and it can be used as tinder to start a fire! Thanks again, and I've continue watching and 'liking!!'

[@nataliavalentine1459]

Isn’t the forester amazing?! it’s my first vehicle purchase! I’m so in love

[@BoatsCop]

Love this!

[@annamarcus9466]

Thank you Alex I've watched your videos like learning new secrets

[@maryannerasnake1373]

I’m 65 and forgetful. I have a 2017 Forester that dark gray, charcoal, black that is so popular. When I am in a large parking lot finding my car is really difficult. This is what I came up with. I bought some bright colored slap bracelets. I put 4 of them on my roof rack 2 in front 2 in back. It has been sooo helpful. The second blessing. I hurt my knee and needed to be picked up curb side. I didn’t know where my husband parked. But when he was coming up the aisles I could see him from far off wending his way to me. Then I just stepped up right before he got there and jumped in. Didn’t tie up the traffic. I thought Subaru could make these as an advertisement and a gift to its customers.

[@Bullzeye1000yds]

You can tie your horn to the lock-unlock beep. Then, in a large parking lot you can press "Panic" button and hear your horn at a pretty good distance.

[@murrieta98]

I just purchased a certified preowned loaner vehicle, a 2023 outback. My dealer emailed me and offered a tutorial visit to show me all of the features. It was awesome. He pointed out all that one of the tips in this video. There are so many features in this Subaru to be happy about. Previous Subaru was a 2012 so this is a huge upgrade for us. I subscribe to the channel and I’m looking forward to more tips.

[@WineHo888]

Thanks for these videos. We just bought a Forester last week and are loving it 😍. These videos have been super helpful.

Great video. I just bought a 2024 Outback Limited just yesterday. I'll be checking out these cool features on it today. Thanks, Alex!

Thanks Alex, I bought 2020 Forester last month and you have already helped me figure out how to make some of the features work ( tried reading the manual but it can be a little confusing, you make it clear and easy. I’m part of the over the hill gang )

[@alexpmo]

So glad I could help! Congrats on your Forester

[@helenmckinnon8202]

Hello Alex, While our previous vehicle a 2020 Forester met our needs, I found it a little big for me. Now that we have a 2024 Crosstrek, not only is it the right size for me but I really like the vehicle. Hate to admit this but my husband did all the driving, now it's my turn and I was very intimidated by the screen. it's so new to me but when I found your videos it is making it easier to at least try and navigate the screen - it's not too intimidating. So thank you for making it just a little easier. I will continue to watch and learn.

I love showing these features to my customers when they buy a Subaru from me. Love the Subaru Love's Pets plug you put in there. My dealership is one of the sponsors for our towns Humane Society Woofstock event this month.

[@amberatkinson4230]

4:47 I love your point about getting the Subaru cargo net. When you talk about the pocket, I'd say if you are going on a trip and back your Subaru is already piled, that pocket is where you should put all the things you want to have easy access to. Talking to someone who goes camping regularly and piles her car high. 😊 great tip!

[@thisspotrules3631]

Can you use both the "pocket" and the "cargo net" flat at the same time? He didn't show that.

[@happy2b773]

I had a cargo net on another brand of SUV and used it all the time for shopping bags, etc. It is a feature of my Subie that I LOVE! I never want another SUV without one. I am a first-time Subie owner and am sold that it is the best out there on the market.

[@5610winston]

I ordered a Crosstrek Premium with the six-speed on 7 January '23, got it 8 April. I have about 9500 miles on it, and enjoy the instantaneous mileage on the center display. It helps me maximize gas mileage on highway trips. My only real complaint is road noise, I'm guessing the Geolander G91 tires are the problem. Seneral cars were burglarized in my neighborhood on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend and some were stolen. While I had glass damage, they didn't take the car. I think the miscreants were discouraged by the manual transmission.

[@zl14l41]

I had a 23 base, after several hydroplanes I swapped to more aggressive tires and it didn't get any worse. I suspect that there's less sound dampening on the front end so you can hear the engine better. I traded mine in due to inconsistent shifts. I've been driving manual since before I could drive on the road and that thing would shift rough a solid 1/3 of the time no matter how much you let it slip. Even tried to double clutch. Almost like something was hanging up. I was concerned about premature wear/failure. 2023 is the last year it came in manual too, I like my new forester but still a bummer. Despite the extra size and weight the 2.5L really is noticeably better, especially on steep hills.

[@Buckled-up_Buttercup]

I went from a 1998 Subaru to a 2021 Subaru. Everything was new. So I downloaded your vids on my ipad mini and take them with me for car lessons. Great way to quickly learn ALL the buttons. Thanks.

Is the infotainment freezing up or anything?

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

​@@bradh61852022 OBW here and no, even before the new TSB the touch screen has been fast and flawless! LOVE the Outback and the TSB makes the touchscreen so much better.

[@dsa4347]

​@bradh6185 , mine went down for no reason after having been off at a restaurant for about 10 minutes. My EyeSight and rear backing camera system went down about 30 seconds later. Before I could get it to the dealer, it came back on (after a 30-45 min stop). Dealership couldn't find anything. Interesting to know I'm not the only one this happened to.

[@bradh6185]

[@edv1912]

WOW !! Thanks for this info Bro. If only other manufacturers would develope their products with these subtle but thoroughly useful features.......

[@JamesSymmonds]

You're welcome! When I first went to use the cargo net, I was trying to figure out why there was two zippers and how to attach it. After a couple of tries, I figured out how it was designed so that you could have both nets deployed at the same time. On another note, I really wish the AVH was a persistent setting but I suspect that has something to do with the Auto Start Stop being reset with each start of the car to keep CAFE standards happy.

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

Theres a TSB update that puts the AVH button permanently on the home screen among other great things like larger AC buttons. Alex has a video on the update so check it out.

[@JamesSymmonds]

@@HomesteadOnThePreserve I think you misunderstood me. Like Auto Start Stop, AVH resets to OFF each time you turn your car on and off. (I have a Forester, our button is a physical button. )

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

@@JamesSymmonds Lucky guy. I wish my Outback had a physical button because I would leave it always on. At least now I don't have to click through the menu every time I start the car.

[@JamesSymmonds]

@@HomesteadOnThePreserve Ah, nope. Even with the physical button, you can't leave it on all the time. That was the point of my comment. It's just like the Auto Start Stop button, resets each time you turn the car off and on.

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

@@JamesSymmonds O geez I'm sorry, now I understand. That's crazy, a physical button that resets!

Thanks Alex. Excellent advice and it’s appreciated and always applicable even on the west coast of Tasmania. Hello from Queenstown Tasmania, part of Australia!🇦🇺

[@haroldclark1787]

If it's 'love' that makes Subaru a Subaru, then it's Alex who brings it all home for all of us to enjoy. Your videos are replete with useful information and practical insight into these wonderful vehicles. Thanks for sharing your encyclopedic knowledge with us. It's greatly appreciated! I love my 2014 Subaru Impreza (although I'm looking at a $7,200 projected cost to repair a cracked steering column and an exhaust system after only 33,000 miles). They gave me a 2024 Outback as a loaner, and I've fallen in love. Maybe I'll trade in the Impreza toward a new Outback or Forester. We shall see. Thanks again; you really know your stuff! Be well, and safe Subaruing!

Thank you for the information. You have been a big help for me to learn about my half year old Forester.

[@hollyzukowski4216]

[@user-hs9xw9qb8p]

I just bought a 2021 Outback. Thank you for your videos

[@erinhills4290]

Thanks for all the great videos. I bought a new 2023 Outback a while back. It didn’t come with the cargo net, so I purchased one from the parts department. When I got home, I discovered the car doesn’t automatically come with the anchors to attach it near the rear hatch! Instructions came with the net on how to drill into the car to install the anchors. I don’t feel comfortable drilling into my brand new car, so I will have the dealer do it when I go in for service. So weird!

[@alexpmo]

You're welcome! Yes, you'll need the anchors first. I wouldn't feel comfortable drilling into my new car either. Best to have the dealer do it in my opinion

[@erinhills4290]

Yes! It is a great car though. Really enjoying it. I got the Limited.

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

I live out in the country and the Auto Highbeams are just amazing! Wether you're approaching a vehicle ahead or an on coming vehicle the lights switch to low at the exact time you would want them to. It's basically doing what you would do except faster. It's a useless feature in the city but a real blessing for rural drivers.

[@jerrymiller276]

I just finished writing a comment that posits an opposing opinion. Have a look at my post to see why. You must live in flat country with fairly straight roads. My situation is the opposite.

[@Wrang15]

I find it's a pain. It does not work on my township dirt roads. They are sub 15 mph. Without a light up head light switch you don't know what mode your in. I just keep mine in manual. On interstate driving it's fine.

[@marcyaxness3988]

@@jerrymiller276 We fall right in the middle. I actually love the feature, living about 17 miles off a freeway, deep into a rural forest area. BUT, the one instance where it doesn't work is when there's an approaching oncoming vehicle that is either just around a curve or on the other side of a rise, where the car's camera cannot register it. Then gotta go manual.

[@girtskalnins]

Is there an option to amend speed limit at which automatic high beams light up? In manual its 15 km/h but in fact it works only once vehicle has reached 60 km/ h.

[@michaelking42]

I have a different experience. I hate the auto highbeams. If there's a bright street light 2 miles ahead on a straight road, your highbeams won't come on unless you switch back to manual. I need complete control over my robots, not vice versa.

I will never own anything other than a Subaru after having this one for the past 10 years and it has earned the name Mud Crawler over and over again. AWD over 4wd and I get home every time on nine miles of dirt road which often becomes mud and river. The 4wd drivers are in awe of my Subaru. Thanks so much for spreading the joy these cars bring.

[@markleedom8899]

Hey Alex, I really enjoy your content and want to ask you about the AVH feature. I was taught many moons ago that for an extended stop it was better for the engine and transmission to put the vehicle in Park so there would be no load on those components. Is this no longer an issue? Was this never true in the first place?

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

That used to be true because of the transmission being constantly engaged. I believe the AVH simultaneously disengages the tranny (puts it in neutral electronically) so there's no extra wear.

[@markleedom8899]

@@HomesteadOnThePreserve Thanks! That wasn’t clear from the “press on the accelerator and go” demonstration.

Hi Alex, we just bought a new 2024 Outback. Love it! However we spent most of the day trying to set up the remote for the garage door and gate entry. It simply is not linking. Is there a chance you have seen this before and what can we do?

Hi Alex- I recently set up the secret button code to disable fob and it worked well for a bit. Until recently now my Fobs both of them are not being recognized by my 2021 outback XT. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for the above video it was good!

Maybe the fobs just need new batteries, give it a try. Likely CR2032's

Thanks for the tips. I have a 2019 Outback. I turn off the radio off at times when driving and the next time I start it up, the radio is back on. Is there a way to set it so that when I start it up, the radio is how it was set when I shut the car off. Thanks.

Can't wait for my crosstrek limited to come in. I am so excited to get a car I've wanted for awhile now.

2022 Ascent. I've been able to disable the seat belt non-stop chime in the front row (with the rapid click-release in a short time), but can not disarm it in the back rows. We do wear our seat belts, and I realize the importance of them, but when I carry heavy things or my dog, it would be nice for the alarm to not go off the entire trip!

Just keep back set belts clicked in all the time. Hate I haven’t been able to turn off the irritating front seat bell. Or the auto turn off engine on my Forrester when you stop in slow traffic.

Hi, Alex. This is a great channel, and you're helping my daughter learn about the gadgetry and options in her 2024 CrossTrek (which she loves). Also, you are an *exact* doppelganger of my son. :D

New to you videos. Very helpful. I was fortunate to get a one hour tutorial on my 2023 Outback at the dealer. I was blown away. My favorite feature was the hatch button.

[@lovesakitas]

I have had my Outback for three years and have never known so many features. Like the lights and could not operate the hatchback without manual or fob? Still learning. But it ran on its own for TWO WHOLE DAYS without me knowing? I’m baffled.

I bought my forester back in 2010 she’s the best vehicle I’ve owned Now only has 44,000 miles just breaking in. Never had any issues Love Subaru
