2016 Head unit is junk...

[Da Brz]

I continue to have issues with connectivity and playing media or using the phone in my car.

Day before yesterday, I got in the car and started up Pandora. The app was blank on my car's screen but my phone said it was connected and playing a song.

After a few minutes, the car started playing two songs at once, one on top of the other.

I even bought a new phone, Galaxy S6, to see if that would help.

Nope. I still can't make phone calls half the time or get a reliable connection.

I swapped mine out for a Kenwood unit and have loved it.

Subaru has never been known to make a technologically advanced vehicle when it comes to its interior options. I maintain that if backup camera's had not became a required safety feature you would of likely not seen them in Subaru's until 2017.

Same here, phone calls are fine but it takes 3 times switching on and off bluetooth to get it to connect and plugged in it always doesn't work. I can't turn the unit off either, the dealer said it never turns off. I asked why does it have a power button then? They said well you can use the "turn off screen" feature. Weird I can't turn it off. Can you power off your head unit?

It powers off when you turn the car off.

Well, I think I can. I hit the power button and it turns off. If you hold the power button down, the unit stays on but the screen goes blank (a feature that I really like for night driving).

But I guess it could still be on, who knows.

I know when turning mine on or off, there's about ten or twelve seconds of lag. I've learned to hit the button and just wait; used to I'd hit the button, think I didn't press the button good enough, then press it again. Then it'd finally turn off then turn right back on because I hit it twice.

I dont have any issues with mine (FRS-16), unless I have been connecting to a bunch of different bluetooth devices like my two other trucks. Typically I just restart my phone, and it clears up.

Maybe there is a firmware update for the HU that can be flashed at the dealer?
