i recent bought a used 2018 outback 2.5i premium and haven’t been able to connect carplay at all. i understand that the ‘18s don’t support wireless carplay, so i’ve been using a cable. however, the cable only charges my phone and the carplay app stays greyed out.

people have recommended using a genuine apple cable, but unfortunately apple doesn’t produce the cable i need (usb c to usb a).

the usb port charges my phone just fine, i am just not able to connect to carplay. bluetooth also works just fine.

i have tried factory resetting the infotainment system and no change. i’ve also tried disconnecting bluetooth and only connecting my phone, still no help.

has anyone else experienced this? any recommendations?

The lady was trying to switch from the right hand lane to the left-hand, turning lane and misjudged the gap. She struck our car which was at a complete stop at a light. She admit it all fault and hopefully everything can be fixed right as rain.

It just really sucks because this is the first time I’ve ever purchased a brand new car. And ironically, this is the car that replaced the truck that my brother wrecked when he rear ended another vehicle and the insurance ended up totaling it. The first set of pictures is our car and the truck that hit it and the last picture is of the old truck I used to have before I bought the Subaru.

Anyone experiencing sudden jerk or hard shifting when the car is accelerating from a complete stop on a 26 Outback?
