I made it to Provo tonight (640+ miles!). The car rode and handled absolutely beautifully. Still getting lots of stares (PLEASE watch the rode and not my gorgeous new vehicle!). Gas mileage isn't that great (20.7 overall so far), but there was a LOT of stop and go on AZ 93 (construction, flag-persons, etc.) and then there was the slowdown at the checkpoint just south of Hoover Dam, plus the pedestrian traffic during this, the peak of tourist season at the dam itself. I still expect it to improve tomorrow (hmmm....maybe it's al the crap I packed for the trip...ya think?). The car occasionally does some interesting downshifting that seems unnecessary, but still it was smooth for the most part. The Nav has been a blast, but I am still getting the hang of it. Looking forward to the next leg of the trip, and all the side trips after that. My friends that I am visiting in Montana have no clue I have a new Subie, and I can't wait to see the look on their face when I drive up the lane to the cabin  -Karen in UT- (at least for tonight) PS: forgot to mention the hotel I'm at has internet service...you just THOUGHT you had gotten rid of me for a few days!

I assume that you have to have the NAV option to get a screen in the front. and is this the ONLY vehicle that will play a movie when parked on the front NAV screen?  I have yet to see anyone else offer this in a OEM system. I know that aftermarket has offered it for sometime. thanks in advance for any responses...

My new tribeca engine light came on. Drove to the dealer and after 5 hours, they found it was a lose ground wire. No big deal, but the 5 hours are lost. While I was there I spoke to the service dept. about adding Ipods and Sat. Radio. They all agreed it SHOULD BE POSSIBLE, but not to expect help from Subaru. As someone else posted, it's a non-factory authorized modification. They also felt that I should be patient. Few people, if any, have cracked open the radio system and they hadn't even seen the setup yet. My Tribeca was the 1st they'd worked on. So the good news: We should be able to use the AUX button to use an Ipod in NON Dvd cars. The bad news: We'll have to wait a bit for the correct info to trickle down. On the way home from the service center I accidently hit a lake of a puddle getting off an exit. It was dramatic, but my old 99 outback would never have managed it's way through with so little fuss. There was just a nudge of the wheel and the car didn't pull at all. Excellent. Brakes are also great, even in the rain. Robert B NY 2006 Tribeca |

We decided not to add the DVD system. Reasons? We're adding an even better system with 3 screens and two players for less than the factory version. Rear screens will be for the kids. Front 7 inch visor screen will play Blade Runner or whatever else we want. You can always get better after market audio and video for less. Sadly, we're a bit limited on audio head units due to the layout of the dash, but we can go crazy with upscale video. I even looked at an overhead system that was better than stock for 1100.00 installed. Again, waiting for the radio mod for it all. Patience will pay. Robert B 2006 Tribeca |

I am trying to find a photo (true color representation) of a Champagne Gold Opal Tribeca on the internet. Everyone seems to use the stock Subaru photos which are mainly of the silver and ?. I saw an Outback in Champagne Gold Opal on the lot and it looked great but none of the photos of the Tribeca seem to be near that color, not even the one in the brochure. The color chip in the brochure is much closer than the photo of the car in CGO but it still looks darker, as do most of the chips. If I decide to order the Tribeca soon I want to see that color on the Tribeca, not on another model. So any leads would be welcome.
