Subaru Forester

I also have a pioneer 8450 not yet installed but it's going to my Honda jazz.

I just figured warranty wont be void if they install

But 50k more discount sounds good to hard to decide

Topgear's review of the 2.0XS variant:

VERDICT

The current Forester may be showing its age relative to the new breed of compact SUVs today, but it's still a solid choice for buyers looking for a roomy, fun-to-drive SUV. While it's not the screamer in the Forester lineup, the rest of the package should still satisfy those who can live without the extra power (and cost) of the 2.5XT.

Congrats!!!

Please join also either of the 2 dedicated Subaru forums in PH: subaru society or subaru club philippines. But don't forget to post here as well, since this is a more mainstream site and we'd like to have plenty of information available to would-be subaru owners as well.

Congrats! What color did you get? And what's the current cash discount? What made you choose the AVT instead of the 50k cash discount?

Why limit with AVT there is FlyAudio which has a very decent display and user interface. Moreso there is surround if you order the one with DSP.

^Does FlyAudio have GPS built-in as well? I think that's one of the considerations of vwaudimb.

Can you post a pic of the dashboard? I want to see how how the AVT looks like in relation to the layout Yung stock, pati yung font sa display, makaluma. Parang font ng mga nokia phones dati, bago nauso ang mga bagong screens.

Thanks April_Ryan! Yup, they gave me the AVT head unit.

Here are my initial impressions on the head unit:

Pros:
- Updated GPS system. I just input my destination and it gives very accurate directions. We got lost in Laloma the first time i got the car and the GPS was able to find the way back
- Easy to navigate iPod connectivity. It can display playlists, songs, artists, albums, etc.
- Very nice bluetooth connectivity. It shows me all my contacts and call history on screen.
- Rear camera is great. I can see if I'm going to hit an object or not.

Cons
- feels like the touchscreen is resistive instead of capacitive.
- navigation isn't as smooth as modern smartphones.
- navigating FM and AM stations are a chore.
