Subaru looking into issues with the Nav
Dropped my car off at the dealer to do some detailing work and there happened to be a Subaru regional manager there. I talked to them about my Nav not picking up satellites and they told me Subaru is looking into it and they can't really do anything about my nav until they sort it out.
My nav takes about 10 minutes to find satellites. Yesterday I was driving in the middle of a lake! Hopefully there will be a TSB soon to fix our nav unit.

Will your warranty cover you driving into a lake if that's where the nav takes you?

Why were you getting the car detailed at the dealer? That's the last place I'd get a car detailed at.

Actually, the cars handling was excellent in the lake. Very sharp responses and got up on a plane quickly. Ride was very smooth as well. Could use more hp though.

I use my NAV every day multiple times due to work. I have not had a single issue.
In fact I like the unit so much I'm adding a JL Audio Cleansweep to clean up the audio signal from the headunit and getting a Alpine Sub 300rms watt, and 5 channel Pioneer amp 300rms watt to my BRZ while keeping the head unit.

It's being done by an outside vendor, not the dealer. It didn't cost much more than a detail and they supposedly warranty the paint/finish for 10 years. They also say it does not need to be waxed-ever. I was kinda curious so I said 'what the heck'. Maybe it really is that good? At worse, it will pay for itself by not needing a detail in the next year.

It's obviously enough of a Problem that Subaru is looking into it. I hope they don't have to put another antenna on top of the car!

I did a little research and I guess with the sealant the car is easier to clean and doesn't need waxing. I figure the paint protection guarantee alone is probably worth it.

Haven't noticed issues myself other than my home street not existing on the map. Have not used it for route guidance though.
