That's great...so over time the touch screen is going to crap out in that spot from overuse...

Anyone heard the latest about software updates? Last I heard it was supposed to be in October, and that Subaru would notify owners.

Are SW updates free? or do they charge you for them? (how much?)
 
I'm in the process of purchasing a new 'beca, and perhaps the new DVD is something I should request as part of the deal?

When I test drove the B9 this past weekend, the salesperson told me that there was no need to buy updates for the 2007 Navigation system, that they would be automatically updated via the nav system. Is this for real?
 
In my current Lincoln Nav....I have to buy the updates at $299 a pop. Needless to say, I haven't done it yet!

The system runs off the DVD software, which has to be physically updated. So, no, the system will NOT update itself. (Perhaps your sales person is thinking of a portable GPS that updates itself? Sounds to me like he hasn't done his homework )
 
Last I heard from Subaru corporate office was that the new DVDs would be out this month, but that pricing had not been set yet. Anyone have any info newer than that?

My Garmin has a lawyer screen, but at least it goes after after a few seconds.
 
You can turn "safe mode" off so that the front passenger can enter destinations while you're driving.

That's my biggest beef with the subaru nav system, not being able to use it as a passenger while the car's in motion. You'd think they could link the airbag "brain" that knows the front passenger seat is occupied to the nav "brain", so when an adult is riding shotgun, they could operate the nav system.

Auto Function in Nav System by ulical

I just bought a Tribeca and I noticed that even though the Nav system is set to "Auto", at night the screen stays bright. I thought that maybe Subarus had different contrast settings but, when I played with it and put it on a "Night" setting, it automatically went dark, as I thought it would while set in "Auto". Has anybody else had this problem? If so, how was it resolved? Thanks for the help and advice.

Check your dimmer switch. If it's set to max brightness, the NAV will stay in the daytime color scheme.
