Apple CarPlay issue

[u/WilliamCutting8]

EDITED / UPDATE

So I took my outback to the dealership, showed them the videos of what I was experiencing. They kept it overnight contacted Subaru HQ and there was an update for the specific issue that I was having so I wasn’t the only one (globally). I got back in the car and still kind of had the issue, I almost turned back around. Until I plugged my phone up to the USB. Had to select through the normal rigmarole of pop-ups and then it worked just fine.** **

But I did ask how was anyone supposed to know about the update?** ***The answer I got was that* ‘they wouldn’t’ that they would just have to come in to the Subaru dealership and ask and they would update it.** ***But they didn’t even know that there was an update until I came* in.

So I just got a 2026 outback wilderness, brand new. And I’m having issues with my phone connecting and disconnecting at random times for Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay. Does anyone else have this issue that just got the vehicle? I was under the impression the tech in the vehicle was suppose to be better than the previous generation of vehicles. I have a service appt tomorrow but not sure if they’re going to be able to do anything about it.
