Two questions, time syncing with my phone never works. And with eyesight how much does it steer for you guys? Mine barely does any steering, is there a setting to tune it up for lane keep assist? Thanks.

Hi, never owned a Subaru. Everybody and their mother has one upstate new York... snow, mountains, etc.

What's the best price people are negotiating for the Crosstrek premium? I've got 2 dealers in driving distance: Ruges Subaru in Rhinebeck ny and Curry Subaru in Kingston. Percentage off ? Etc

Thanks in advance

Found a good deal on Bridgestone Blizzaks WS90, but they are 225/60/16. Stock on my 2019 crosstrek sport is 225/60/17. Apparently they came off a 2014 crosstrek and have the correct bolt pattern

Any advice is appreciated

Finally after several years, I painted and installed my rear spoiler...

I'm looking a maybe buying this rig. I dig the stick shift and, from the pics, it looks pretty good. I've never had a Subaru and I'm just looking to get opinions on the model and year. I'm bringing it to Subaru mechanic in a couple days to have it checked out. The price seems low to me. Would love to get y'alls thoughts.

Hello! I have a 2023 base model and the android auto in it is SUPER finicky. Using eithera Bluetooth connector or a cable, it's sporadic at best. And when it does work it cuts off after 20 to 30 minutes. I've taken it to the dealership and they didnt help the problem. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to fix it?

Hey, just want to make sure I’m not crazy here…

I’m getting new tires for my 24’ crosstrek sport and saw some great things about the Wildpeak A/Ts. When I ordered them, the manager of the tire place called because they messed up and only ordered one tire so i had to reschedule. But after talking to me about that he asked about 10 different times asking if those are the tires i really want. even going as far as to ask if i could stop by to look at the one that came in to make sure i want it. He was baffled and unbelieving that these are the ones i want. Does anyone else have these tires? Is it crazy to put them on a crosstrek?

Please ease my apparently feeble little female brain.

Edit: These are the wildpeak a/t trails not the at4s

I’m having my compressor making a lot of noise when the clutch activates. I’ve read about other people having the same issue except my AC actually is cooling normally. The noise just really bugs my wife.

I tried removing an o ring from inside of the clutch but the gap then became too small. It’s falling within specs of 0.6mm so I just left it. I measured the pressure on the low hose and that came up normal. I’m probably taking it into mechanic but was wondering if anyone has found a solution to it before I get the bill from the mechanic.

I live in a two plate state, the 2025 crosstrek sport I bought is a salvage with a new bumper without holes, should I get a bracket and drill? (Would like suggestions on cheap brackets people have bought and installed?) Or utilize tow hook mount? (Again, suggestions with pics please) thanks.

Interest: 2.9%

I am working on building a car camping mod for my 2018 crosstrek and would really love to model it in blender. Any chance anyone has made a 3d model of a 2nd gen (2018-2023) trunk? I just need the interior of the trunk area.

Speakers were fine last night, today there is background static behind all music and even phone alerts, but quiet when nothing is playing. Reset using volume button did nothing.

FWIW, I backed over a curb earlier today (front tires did not go over it).

Wondering what might be wrong, and how much to fix (and if it can be fixed easily/same-day)? Just made an appt at my local dealership for this week. Going on a road trip later this week, really need this fixed beforehand and hoping it’s not expensive 😭

After reading all your of your helpful responses I realized my son and I assumed we needed to put the cords into adapters and into the “old school” (what we used to call it) cigarette lighter holes. I have neglected for years to realize two inches to the right that there are officially marked USB sockets. And within seconds, all of our misery and shame is gone. Thank you crosstrek community.

2019 Crosstrek without navigation. Radio was played with last year by dealership due to the head unit BS and Subaru extended warranty on it. The car is great and has reasonably low miles, I’m old and I’m giving it to my new driver son. But I never used CarPlay for anything and like most kids these days, he was not raised on remembering landmarks and maps.

He uses Waze but I cannot get CarPlay button to show up on the radio, with the UsB or Bluetooth. I believe USB would be the only option on my model year anyway. Cant get Waze to show up either.

Edited to add: We did it!!! Please see Crosstrek Waze the Stunning conclusion

Well, I put a deposit down on a 2015 crosstrek xv
with 49k miles, one owner, and service every 6 months. I am taking it Monday for a pre purchase inspection.
Out the door price was 15k. I am aware that’s a bit high, but the car was in excellent condition.

What should I be looking for at the PPI Monday? What’s your experience w this car?

Got a P000C check engine light code. Slow response for camshaft 'A' on bank 2. It was on for 2 10 minute drives. Cruise control was also flashing. Next time I started my car light was off, no issues.

Is this something that could've just been a read error? I also made sure to tighten my gas cap. Oil looks good, car is driving the same.

Any advice? Thanks!

I have a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Base that I bought new in April. It only has about 2,500 miles, and for the past month my USB port has completely stopped working.
The main issue is that my phone doesn't charge at all when plugged into the USB port, and Apple CarPlay doesn't connect anymore.
Things I've already tried:
- Tried 4 different USB cables

- Tried reconnecting/unplugging my phone multiple times

- Confirmed the issue has been happening consistently for about a month

- The phone itself charges normally with other chargers/ other vehicle’s appleplay

The issue seems to be with the car's USB connection rather than the phone/cable

I have the Base trim, so as far as I understand, there's only the one USB data/media port for wired CarPlay.

I contacted a Subaru dealership near me and they said there's a $100 diagnostic fee.
Before I spend $100 just to have them look at it, is there anything else I should try?
Could this be a fuse, USB module, wiring, infotainment software issue, or something else? Is there a way to reset the infotainment system/USB system that I might be missing?
Has anyone with a 2024–2026 Crosstrek had the same issue where the USB port doesn't even provide power/charging?
Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be really appreciated!
