MEDIA
Bluetooth®
Your Subaru has Bluetooth®hands-free technology to manage your phone and audio
systems. Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones link directly through your Touchscreen
automatically, once connected. Receive and initiate calls or play music directly from your
device while keeping it stowed for safety.
To pair a Bluetooth
®device to the Touchscreen, see page 110 for Android devices or page
113 for Apple devices.
CD (if equipped)
The CD player holds a single disc only. To access the CD menu, put a CD in the player or
touch the CD icon on the Touchscreen. Depending on the CD format, it may show the CD
album art work on the Touchscreen.
USB / iPod
The USB connection is below the Center Information Display (CID) in front of the shifter.
You can plug in a USB memory storage device or iPod. This will bring up the media screen
with controls. If using an iPod, make sure to use an Apple certified cable or MFi certified
cable for proper operation.
Aux Input
The Aux jack is a port that allows the input
from an audio device such as MP3 players,
portable music players and iPods. To access
the Aux menu, plug in the device to the Aux
jack and the menu will appear, or select the
Aux menu from the Touchscreen.

Bluetooth
®.
