Yeah might go that route.
At this point, I've found a workaround... I usually listen to podcasts in my car... so after I start the car, I start playing the podcast I want on my phone and rewind it 90 seconds... when the car finally connects to my phone, it's playing what I want and I haven't missed any content (usually)...
It's an embarrassment that I have to do this, but it's working. (Except that it still mutes turn-by-turn directions. But at least I can listen to my podcasts.)
I contacted Subaru support about this and am in an email conversation with them. Ideally they would release a firmware update to their device to fix these problems but I'm not holding my breath obviously.
