I tried to get my Levorg remapped last year and after having the car all day the garage admitted defeat. After checking with contacts all over the UK, it turned out that Subaru had locked out the ECU to freelance tuners. The only option at the time was to stick one of them gadgets on the end of...

Arkatee has called it about right. I don't know where about in the world you are, but it might be worth your while importing the turbo'd 2.0 Levorg from Japan (to get it in RHD) they drive on the same side of the road as the UK. SBT Global Car Imports are the bad boys I'm watching. The prices...

lol! I know, but my previous wheels was a hawkeye model Impreza sport wagon. I was determined not to get anything from Subaru that was slower. Apart from the Forester XT, the Levorg was the only other model in the range apart from the WRX/STI saloon (which I didn't want) that had at least...

Or the Levorg isn't any trouble, at least the 1.6 version. ;) Personally, and I've had mine two years, the only thing that I can fault (apart from fuel thirst, which petrol Subaru doesn't like a drink?) is the original head unit. The USB music play function is erratic and frustrating, sat nav...

You Aussies and Kiwi's are so lucky. We in the EU were denied the WRX/STI 2.0 versions of the Levorg. Subaru have now dropped the 1.6 DIT engine for a N/A 2.0 block that's down around 30 BHP and near similar ft/lb torque. However, things could have been worse, the USA and I believe Canadian...

The Levorg is a rare car in the UK. It's usually Amazon, ebay, or Subaru owners and dealers for me. Interchangeable parts and access via the Internet makes your task achievable. It's this covid 19 thing that can hinder you a little.

New Zealand. I never knew that there's a Victoria there. Subaru is technically a small manufacturer by car standards. I can't imagine them commissioning non interchangeable parts for every model of car they make. I reckon that as long as the head unit in the donar Forester car is the same as...

Also, some Levorgs have the eyesight control switches on the steering wheel at odds with their age. Mine is a 2017 registration without it. But I've come across 2016 models with it. Make sure that you get the right one for your car.

Ah I get it now. And you're in Australia too. I'm in the UK and the UK models have the audio controls on the left. If you can't get hold of the controls separately, it may just be worth your while buying a UK spec steering wheel off ebay. There's a couple of Levorgs on ebay UK being broken. Be...

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong, but I take it that you want to fit a Sony aftermarket stereo but retain the controls offered from the steering wheel? I would have thought therefore that what you require is a Sony compatible stalk adapter to a Subaru Connects 2 device. Preferably for either the...

Yes it does, you've cracked it!

Hi and welcome to the forum. As for my Samsung phone goes, that involves taking the photo. Go to your pictures gallery and select the desired image. In the bottom right hand area of the screen (next to the delete dustbin) are three dots that are linked like <. Selecting that gives you the share...

For starters, there's a panel on the front of the stereo unit that has micro SD on it. Behind it is a micro SD card that has the map programming for the sat nav. You will need a appropriate SD card for your region / country. The correct SD card might cover your language issue. I suspect that...

It may be easier for you to swap out the head unit. Different parts of the world have the FM frequency digits set in certain stages i.e. Europe in 0.5 steps so as you manually or the autotune setting, it raises in 0.5 MHz. The USA has it's own and the Japanese (and I presume the Asian...

The handbook lists the fuses, so just run through the list just in case you missed one. When my Subaru dealer replaced my head unit, it appears that the connections are shall we say, sensitive. I had to return my Levorg within minutes because I'd lost some of the functions. The engineer...

Anybody out there still wanting to take a chance on a premium marque 'uber' vehicle? ;)

I've a 2016 (17 plate) Levorg 1.6GT UK reg and spec. The only thing that's come in for warranty treatment was the replacement of the audio head unit. The previous one seemed to have USB issues to the extent that the main dealer couldn't update the audio unit and sat nav. Not that it's made much...

Can't say that I'm too surprised at that info from your dealer, mine goes in for its service and MOT next week. I don't think that the manager will tell me that though. He'll probably try to convince me to buy the current 2.0 litre version. For which the answer is a resounding No! However, here...

So many people wish for that option :D Unfortunately Subaru have, I believe made every model in their current UK range apart from the BRZ CVT with auto CVT boxes only. The BRZ can be bought with a manual or CVT gearbox. Every car magazine that I've read who have tested a Subaru vehicle (BRZ...

I suspect that Europe is more likely to see the forthcoming 1.5 version which is reported to make power, BHP and torque, extremely close to the old 1.6 DIT engine. The upcoming 1.8 makes around 270 BHP if my memory serves me correct. I saw these two proposed engine unit figures on another...
