Not sure where to look in any of the manuals I have, not finding anything online. Is there a way to change the coolant temp display on the infotainment screen to be accurate like the oil temp gauge? Like, with actual numbers rather than "cold" "normal" and I assume "overheating" ?

Just looks so stupid to see "Coolant = Norm" right next to "Oil temp = 195f"

How? Lol My '04 the car was OFF when the key wasn't in accessory or "on" but this '24 keeps the infotainment and who knows what else on until I open the door. Any fix for this malarkey? Even the lights staying on 30s annoys me...but I could concede those to 10s if it was an option.

The Dealer I bought the car from says this is normal. Is this quality actually normal now? The hell? I've never bought anything newer than '04 but I've worked on a few Subaru's up to '09 and all of those were fully painted.

gas cap, high rust prone area unpainted

hard to tell in a picture but the rear door sills are almost unpainted

[inside door sill unpainted...what about under the fender where I can't see it?](https://preview.redd.it/g9wyrnjvndwb1.j

Do my local dealers just suck or does Subaru not let any dealers make ignition keys? Tried 3 so far and the best one could do was refer me to a locksmith that doesn't do car keys. Too late today to call other locksmiths but good grief.

Can't copy this one at the hardware store with a $5 online sourced blank, it's so worn out it only works maybe 60% of the time. Online places want $60+ for a simple key (2004, no transponder) and no way in heck am I paying that much for a key.

Could mean different things depending on context I guess. I was at a register, AM at another who called over the radio "Code 51 in progress, witnessed it myself" (not on the store-wide intercom). Didn't see anyone walking/running out, weekend seems odd for an armored truck dropoff/pickup does that just leave the "CUSTOMER HAS BEEN USING TOO MANY COUPONS AND MUST BE BANNED" option?

I did have a few coupons, 4 maybe 5 but being 'soft' banned for that seems...excessive.

Wondering what a reasonable price is to pay someone to do the head gaskets and timing chains on a '03 EZ30 USDM? I can do the H4 gaskets myself for $400ish in parts, but the timing cover alone on the H6 looks terrifying and I've found a few JDM engines for $1300 shipped (swapping doesn't scare me lol)

"But the EZ30 head gaskets don't blow" Okay, well, tell that to the milkshake on the oil dipstick and clearly externally leaking driver side head gasket.

Not sure if it's related to the gasket or just general cooling issues but after a 1mi 20-40% grade hill (steeper the higher up...) the temp gauge comes up past the 3/4 mark which my H4 5MT hasn't done even with the wagon loaded up to alm

*SOLVED/ANSWERED*
Activation page that I couldn't get to without a SIM & ACT code says I have no coverage at my zip code yet the coverage map says I do. Am I just out the 3mo starter kit cost or is there something I can do?

I did buy it on Amazon but had to fully open the packet and rip the SIM holder off of it to get the ACT code so I assume returning it isn't an option.

edit: can't figure out how to mark/flair the post to mark it as "solved". T-Mobiles coverage is apparently more crap than ATT so the chat support guy had to use some other zip code to activate service. but it works now.

Strongly thinking about getting an M6, giving the app a try on an Android 10phone so I can get through the "new thing is weird and pissing me off" stage before spending money.

Works well overall but I'm having a major issue with it changing the currently playing track when I switch to the app from another app. I have it set to random/shuffle so trying to go back goes to a random track and the forward again goes to another random track and I'm left not having a clue what track was just playing (35k tracks in library, plenty I've never heard in my life LOL).

Any ideas on getting it to stop auto-nexting me? I assume it won't be an issue on the M6 but just in case I'd hope there's a fix I have

I had a USA model G Power (2020) from a few weeks after they were released last year; broke it last weekend (bent a bit and demolished the screen). Been nothing but trouble trying to get a replacement this week.

Bought a used one on Amazon, still working on sending it back as it was locked to a previous owner and UPS drop offs are hard to find in my area (missed the delivery driver today).
Bought a "new in box US Warranty" which arrived today.

The 2nd one was NIB as advertised, but the kicker is not only is it stuck on the Mexican release channel (AMXLA) but there's also GB's of non-removable bloatware preinstalled! Both bother me

I seem to be stuck. Prestige upgrades changed to cash. I've upgraded everything I can find, bought all the area's I can find (Town Hall-5 most recently), bought all the upgrades shown for all the area's.
What's left to do? I'm so confused, no "Game Completed" screen and yet I've only unlocked 1/10th of what was shown as unlock-able in the advertisements for the game.

Is that really all or am I missing something?

This is actually the fastest I've seen in the last week.
