  1. Gotcha, can't speak for Android as I'm an iOS user but anytime it refused to work a reboot fixed it. Hopefully the next Pandora update sorts it out for you. I know what you mean, it's nice to be able to use steering wheel controls to skip and change stations. It's even more necessary with the amount of background processes and apps that run with any modern OS. I worked in the phone business for a few years, you wouldn't believe the amount of issues I saw a simple reboot fix.
  2. What phone? What model year? (2015-17 style or 2018-19 CarPlay/AndroidAuto) I've been using Pandora with the Starlink head unit and iOS (iPad mini 4 in the Legacy, iPhone 7 in the WRX) for 3+ years now. It's occasionally glitchy, but works 99% of the time. Restart your phone daily! I turn mine off every night and then plug it in to charge so it powers back on. Same effect as restarting your PC. Open Pandora before connecting to the car. If this doesn't work, connect first and then open Pandora on your phone. Or connect then use the head unit's Pandora button to launch. If it doesn't work just change to another sequence. I just upgraded from Pandora Plus to Premium, which lets you download stations and custom playlists. Both show up in the station selection list on the head unit, pretty cool. Lost the unlimited data I had on my iPad so offline mode is a must now.
  3. Legacy is in the hands of the new owner now. It was great for the 3+ years and 39k miles I had it for. Kind of sad to see it go but I know it'll be appreciated by my friend who bought it. I'll definitely miss the Legacy's smooth ride but the WRX is a blast to drive. With my dad's new FXT we now have 3 FA20DITs in the garage:lol: I still have some stuff for sale in the classifieds section so check there if you're looking for accessories:p
  4. My dad just picked up a 50th anniversary FXT this past weekend so I'm in the process of purchasing his WRX. Legacy is listed for sale so I'm parting out my mods and whatnot in the forum classifieds. Selling my retrofitted headlights, Rallyarmors, EcoHitch, and more.
  5. Good to know! I was considering extended warranty anyway so this is a nice bonus. My dad just picked one up, dealer found one spec'd out perfectly one state over in PA. Lapis Blue 2018 Limited with EyeSight. Man is it quick and fun to drive:wub:http://i.imgur.com/aqoacIC.jpg
  6. I have a spare right side one from the headlight I bought to practice opening. It's painted black but could be sanded off if need be. If you need me to mail it somewhere I'd be happy to. I would have done this if they were available when I did my retrofit, ended up just painting mine black. I know it's not legal but let's be honest, has anyone ever been bothered for a burnt out sidemarker bulb?
  7. I've been running these bulbs for year or so now and have been very happy with them, I have small plastic caps glued over the lights to prevent them from being bumped (especially on the passenger side). This dims them down slightly to the perfect level of brightness. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-1-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/204/908/#tab/Specifications For those looking for a very subtle light, here is another option. These aren't going to be very bright at all, just add a little ambient light with minimal distraction to the driver. I would get the wider lens option to more evenly distribute light. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-1-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/197/
  8. That's a really dope pic! What kind of camera/lens setup are you using?

  10. Zip ties, duct tape, and a lil ingenuity oughta fix it! I broke the upper tab on on one of my headlights while doing my retrofit, a zip tie currently takes its place:lol:
  11. Took some output pics the other night. Manually set ISO and shutter speed for an accurate comparison. Hellas were turned off.

  12. Yes I did, not too difficult to remove it. Pretty much identical to disassembling our center console area. Here's my writeup on the Forester forum: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f77/2017-xt-touring-interior-trim-wrap-689337/#post6772249
  13. No doubt it'd look nice, but don't expect it to stay looking nice. My mom's new forester came with it from the factory, only has 500 miles on the clock and it was already scratched and smudged to heck. Wrapped it with some brushed look vinyl because it was so bad, especially around the gear shift. http://i.imgur.com/Omu2k7j.jpg
