Wow Evan! Your channel has blown up! Nice work. They are great! -Abby

Hello do you know of a training video of the subaru ssm1 usage?

Thanks so much ❤

I love the fuel usage gauge. It reminds me to go easy on the gas! I keep my center rear seatbelt unlatched. I wasn't aware there was a hook to hold it up in place instead of letting it dangle.

How do I deactivate it if I am putting on my own trailer hitch?

Hi Evan , thanks for the tips, I have a Subaru Liberty 2015 and done a home CVT service by the book Temps etc. Runs good but now I have a flashing AT temp light. Flashes 6 times every 2 seconds? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

What about storm notifications that keep popping up over and over.

I work late hours so whenever my vehicle is in for service, I pick it up after hours using my spare key. Then i have to go back during their business hours to pick up the key they have. I have asked them to just lock my key in the vehicle and they said it can't be done. I showed them this video and they still refuse. Seems like such a simple thing to do for customer service and convenience. Won't be buying another vehicle from that dealer.

I have an Ascent with this problem but no Memory button. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks😊 is there a a way to set your driving mode to a default?

Hate it hate it! I turn it off before I start driving.

maybe if every body votes for trump. He shall illiminate this f'n stop feature on cars..?

Just tell everybody not to purchase subarus or any modern/recent cars with auto stop function.

Great, thanks

Even my 06 outback stated in the manual to use the parking brake. Even when it was manual.

I don’t understand why the idiots at Subaru didn’t just add a keypad like almost every other car, on the driver door 🤦‍♂️

Thank you 💙🙏💙

I have 2023 XV GT and have never ever experienced the start stop from day 1 maybe im lucky :)

I don’t think any other manufacturer has a design defect like this. It’s a SAFETY ISSUE! Ridiculous! My hatch opened on its own on several occasions overnight and my battery went dead. My keys were hanging up on a hook and I let my dog out after I hung up my keys so I absolutely know it was not my fault.

Evan, I just lock my Outback keys in the car by locking the electronic lock on drivers door, and close drivers door with handle open. The key fob just auto deactivates and when I unlock with the pin code I need to reactivate the key fob by placing next to start button. This is super easy !! Not too sure if Subaru has done software upgrade but this cuts out half your steps !

What a great video ;) more info than a dealer can usually give

I'm implementing all these tips. TY for the video.

How to contact you?we would like to cooperate with you.

So I'm 50 miles from the closet city so all the areas listed in my state are irrelevant. Can I get the real time area of where my car is for weather?

Lane Keep Assist isn't the button on bottom right of steering wheel. That's lane centering. Similar, but different. Lane Centering ONLY works when the car is using cruise control. It keeps the car centered, more or less, in the lane while in cruise control. Lane Keep Assist on the other hand can be set up to beep if you cross the line or correct if you approach the line. It can also detect if you're "swaying" - going from one line to another and operates when you are NOT using cruise control unless you turn it off. Lane Keep Assist you have to turn on/off using the touch screen. Outside of this your video is nicely done.

I'm guessing the dealer will charge $50 for a new battery that you could buy in a store for $4?

How to program a new key for a push start button?

Hi Evan. Good video.

Does one have to leave the engine running and just sit during all this? That seems wasteful. Please, clarify for me. Thanks very much.

Well, now my key is deactivated... How do I get it reactivated if it doesn't work after following the steps?

And 😂? The rav4 has been doing it for over a decade 😂😂

Ultimate, lesbian mobile

Great explanation of this feature, thank you for the video. I just went and set this up on our new 24 Outback. One thing that concerns me though. After opening the driver side door using the PIN code, the disabled key fob will still start the car by simply pressing it against the start button. If you try to use the key fob, it will tell you on the display of the center console that the key fob is deactivated.... However, if someone simply presses it against the start button, it will start the car and they can drive away. It's unfortunate that they're not required to know the procedure to reactivate the fob. Yes, I realize all that would have to happen for someone to actually do this but it is possible and I wish it was a bit more secure. It's really not much different than leaving a traditional key in your car in the sense that most people know to put the fob up against the start button if things aren't working right.

Good video…question…if the lights are on in the top position and under my complete control….If I don’t turn that off and the key is in the ignition, but power off…..it will leave lights on and drain the battery quickly….is that some kind of safety feature that escapes my reasoning…they go off when key is out of ignition, but they will go back on when the key is put back in the ignition even though nothing else has been turned on….I have been stranded more than once. It happens when waiting for someone in the parking lot usually. I will be going to AUTO after this video BTW…thank you

But why???

Yeah! Mine no longer let's me know what street I'm on what the speed limit is the weather?????

Friend has a 2023 Subaru Forrester that won't allow you to do anything until the startup splash screen does its annoying thing. Left your radio on when you got out? Sorry, can't turn it down or off....yet...And if you put it in reverse...sorry, backup camera doesn't let you use the controls or knob either. Shift back to park and then wait out the startup screen to be able to turn your volume down....seriously. Why have a knob that doesn't always work? And it will start playing from the phone, not the radio. It starts to autoplay whatever you were listening to last on your iPhone. Even if the phone is quiet and you're not listening to it before starting the car, on car startup, it starts playing form your phone. It's a very bad design that doesn't seem to be getting any better, and probably worse, as time and model years move on. It is the number one complaint....why don't they fix it? It's not doing what people expect.

How do I adjust these sounds on a Subaru Accent ?

Okay, but all the FORESTERS have the same AWD. What makes this different? LAIM video.

I see the fronts are still disguised. Interesting car.

This was so helpful!

Good to see you again Evan.

Thank you! I had no idea this existed!

Can I use my phone to unlock the car via the Subaru app?

THANK YOU

Thanks I drive a lot of rental cars. For some reason. CarPlay is always a pain. Got me going in a couple minutes.

I did not know that. Thanks very much. That cargo cover has been a complete pain in the ass every time I have to carry something large. This really helps.

How do I get the notifications from Curfew to make noise? I have everything enabled in the app and on our phones. The only thing we get is about 50% of the time we get a silent notification. Our vehicle has been stolen twice now (we recovered using law enforcement and the location feature) and so we want a curfew notification if they start it while we're asleep.

Now I can keep my hatch open while camping without disconnecting the battery which is not a particularly good solution. I drained my battery several times doing this before I found out what was happening. I have a really cool domed canopy that sits on top of the hatch and keeps you out of the sun and rain. Can use it again without draining the battery. Thanks. Have a 2015 Outback 2.4 si

I went to my name on my outback 2023 but CarPlay disappeared from that part and I can’t find it.
