What Owners Say

Apple CarPlay

"Sometimes the CarPlay function kicks in and sometimes you have to dig in menues."

Anonymous A., CO (2024 Subaru Solterra Premium Electric)
Display screen goes blank

"CarPlay causes the screen to freeze, go blank. It will sometimes try to reboot but usually stays frozen. Powering off the car and restarting it will sometimes also fix the issue but not always. I asked Subaru dealership about this and they said there was nothing they could do as it is most likely a problem with the software that runs the infotainment system."
