r/SubaruUncharted

This is my 12th SUBARU and probably my second favorite. Traded my 2023 Crosstrek Limited in for it.

I had some thoughts I wanted to share about my dad's new Uncharted! As someone whose family has owned a new Prius for a few months now, I have gotten familiar with Toyota parts.

To start, I was annoyed how if the front seats are down the rear passengers get no legroom under the front seats (in our Prius we don't have this issue when the seat is down, headroom is more the issue and thankfully this car has a little more, also it's not low to the ground), however thankfully when you bring it up there is space. Overall headroom and legroom are on the tighter side which I was worried about when I found out my dad made this decision without even having me test sitting in it first, but thankfully either me sitting in the front seat leaves me enough space, and even the back is fine if the front passenger takes up less space, (which is the case with my mom) which I can't say with our Prius.

One thing I found interesting was how while our Prius has sensors to turn on the interior lights, the Uncharted has physical buttons to match the off-road theme I guess. For one thing I haven't gotten programming the Homelink buttons to work for the life of me, also it's strange how the headlight washing button doesn't work. I'll have to double check there's even windshield washer fluid but I didn't see an error light. Also it's nice to see two rear seat pockets compared to one in our Prius. I was also curious, what are these two blank buttons even for? There's another one on the left side. Random other neat thing, pushing the media power button seems to toggle on and off the gauge cluster screen when the car is off which is neat.

And for for my biggest complaint unfortunately - The screen/software. Upon first seeing the screen, It was a cool surprise how big it was. However, I was quite disappointed when I turned it on and saw both how big the font size is with there being no way to decrease it I don't think, and also how the climate control has huge buttons and it takes up a third of the screen with no way to hide it and use the rest of the screen space. Lastly in terms of the software, while it's nice to see Subaru implement turning on and off the safety features from the main screen (unlike our Prius where you have to do it all on the tiny annoying gauge cluster screen), there are some unpolished software things like in the attached images.

A couple more things - My dad commented that he loves the suspension compared to our previous car which is great. He also was annoyed by how both regen braking settings seem to reset when you start the car, and how the minus button increases regen breaking while the plus button decreases it. Also while it was cool to see the interior ambient lighting settings, it was annoying to learn you can only adjust them and a bunch of other settings with the car off and parked. Another thing I wanted to add that in a week of driving, my dad only drove like 50 miles! This big battery seems to work well for him and he definitely doesn't need more range, and we don't take road trips too often but we'll have to see how it works during them.

Furthermore I do like the camera system and the 360 degree view which some manufacturers don't even have, but the camera view button unfortunately seems to only be available at slower speeds I think. Interestingly while the Uncharted has the same style of rear door handle as the Prius, it's physical rather than electronic, which I personally do not prefer with how the Prius has an easy to use mechanical backup. Lastly I wanted to add that I love the light up Subaru logo in the front :)

Anyone know how to fix and prevent this? We have no idea what the PIN number would be.

I am trying to get the reverse warning chime in my 2026 GT turned to mute. I brought it to my Subaru dealer and they can’t seem to figure it out. They said it didn’t seem to be a screen that they could find. They had it for three hours. I showed them this so they can see from the manual it’s showing as optional. Is there anyone who had the same issues of the techs not being able to find it and they were able to figure it out? I want to say I’ve seen on here before someone showing the screen of what it looked like where it’s supposed to be at. I asked that they calll Subaru corporate and talk to someone.

Update: after FOUR HOURS success

The key is the location in the software HAS to be set to North America. Once they did that the option opened up under customize and they were able to silence it. Took minutes once they called for help from Subaru of America

This is my 12th SUBARU and probably my second favorite. Traded my 2023 Crosstrek Limited in for it.

I have officially had my GT just over three weeks. I have put on 1600 miles. Here are my thoughts, wish list, and things I’ve done to the car.

So, to start, the things I’ve done:

-I installed the Fitcamx dash cam and love it, easy install and it looks OEM.
-I also got two silicon pads for the charging tray to stop the phone from sliding.
-Tinted the windows to 15%

Here is my wish list:
-A car wash mode button. It would be great if there was an easy way to turn off all safety and park distance control with one button. When I go to the carwash I’m turning off several things.
-More customization in the instrument cluster. Also, I don’t know why I need a light for each safety system when they are on, I’d rather have one when they are off only.
-Better / Easier driver profile setup and changing between them.
-A few second delay that leaves the camera screen on when changing out of reverse, silly I know, but I got used to that option on my legacy.
-When seats and climate are on auto, I’d like to know when the items are actually on and what mode the air is in / fan speed.

General Thoughts:

-The sound system is great and is one of the reasons I wanted the GT… I just wish my rearview mirror wouldn’t shake with the bass. With how hard it is to adjust the mirror (need two hands) you’d think it wouldn’t shake lol.
-I just love this car. It’s perfect for my commute and does fine on longer drives. I do have a level 2 charger at home, so that helps.
-I have learned the best way to use the Regan braking for my driving. In traffic it’s on level 3 or 4 and backroads level 2. Regular highway driving it is off, when I lift off the accelerator, I want the car to coast. Going down hill and need to slow down, I just increase the level.
-the traffic jam assist works really well, I just wish it worked until 40 mph instead of 25.

In general, I am very happy with this car and this being my first EV. It’s got a few quirks, but I can live with them.

Feel free to ask me anything, happy to help or provide more info.

The sports one are from my first Subie, which I peeled off before trading in cuz they don’t offer them anymore. Ordered the plate frame for these to go on.

Hi all! Hoping to find some resources, auto shops, mechanics, etc in the WA state- Whatcom or Skagit County that can help me with a custom light modification I'd like to do on my 2026 Subaru Uncharted.

I was hoping to add fog lights (color change to amber for fog and white for vision through dark trail roads) to the vehicle that would require a custom light strip of some kind to fit an existing part of the body, plus proper wiring to a conveniently placed poverty button conveniently in the vehicle already.

I have posted an AI generated photo of the idea so please note -

! *photo IS AI generated and used with the intention to provide a visual example to the mechanic and is not a factory inclusion of Subaru or currently a feature.*! Light size and postion may vary based on capabilities but that image shows the idea is had. Where I live having lower fog lights helps during the darker seasons. The roads aren't lit with and are mostly wooded areas with wildlife and debris. Amber color changing helps with fog without blinding others.

I am in the process of calling around local mechanics and shops but havnt had much luck. Hoping the Uncharted fam could help get me some ideas. Also curious if any of you are adding any mods or custom designs on your Uncharteds- whether functional or artistic.

Thanks all!

A little less than two years ago, I purchased a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. While at the lot, my wife fell in love with a 2025 Subaru Forester Sport. We left the dealership with 2 cars that day. About 2 weeks ago, my wife's Forester was rear ended by a Durango travelling well over the 25 mph speed limit. Everyone was safe but you wouldn't think they were by looking at the damage the Durango took. So we were back at the dealership today to replace her totalled car. I test drove an Uncharted while she cruised the lot. I ended up driving home with this 2026 Uncharted Sport. This spunky vehicle is AMAZING!
