NUMBER: 15-270-20R DATE: 8/19/2020 REVISED: 03/15/23 APPLICABILITY: 2020-2022MY Outback & Legacy 2022-2023MY BRZ 2022-2023MY WRX SUBJECT: FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) Reprogramming for DENSO Gen 4 Audio / Navigation Infotainment Systems INTRODUCTION: This bulletin provides instruction for use of a new reprogramming procedure to optimize the Denso Gen 4 Audio and Navigation system utilized in the models listed above. Firmware-overthe- air (FOTA) is a process where remote devices can receive updates to their operating firmware. This process has become second nature with smartphones, tablets and many other connected devices. FOTA for automotive infotainment systems was designed with an emphasis on customer convenience. FOTA updates provide regular enhancements along with software patches as needed to enhance the customer experience. The convenience factor comes not only with the supply of regular updates and the enhancements they provide, but through customer control of when these updates are downloaded and installed. The only requirement is a secure Wi-Fi connection through a home network or the use of a secure Wi-Fi hotspot to create a connection to the update server. Once connected, customers can easily obtain and install any available FOTA update to their infotainment system. FOTA operation is conducted in two steps: download (from the server to the vehicle via Wi-Fi) and installation (internal to CP1 system in the vehicle). This bulletin will focus on FOTA for Denso Gen 4 audio systems (MID) and audio-navigation systems (HIGH) which utilize the 11.6-inch touch-screen display. Models with 7-inch dual screen display (Base) are not FOTA capable. This bulletin outlines the procedure for performing FOTA updates successfully. These procedures involve: • Assisting customers with FOTA -related concerns if they have been unsuccessful in performing the FOTA by themselves. (Possible vehicle or system concern.) * • Performing the FOTA update for customers who are not comfortable or need assistance with performing it themselves but have requested the Retailer install it* • Updating the firmware using a USB flash drive by following the steps outlined in TSB 15-261- 20R “Reprogramming File Availability for Optimization of Gen 4 Denso CP1 Infotainment Systems” when FOTA cannot be performed due to the setup difficulties*.

All rights reserved. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 03/15/23 Page 2 of 26 Continued… * NOTE: If a customer is simply requesting help with how to perform FOTA, NEVER share a copy of this bulletin. Instead, provide a copy of the appropriate customer instructions for FOTA available on Subarunet: Service Operations & Technical > Forms/Downloads page. See Appendix A later in this bulletin for more information. It is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand this information completely before proceeding. NOTES: • REMINDER: FOTA is available for MID and HIGH (Navi) systems with 11.6-inch display only. • The currently available FOTA firmware version is not the same version available to Retailers for USB updating use. However, a system updated using FOTA can be further updated by using the USB update procedure. For additional details clarifying the scope of FOTA updates, review the 20MY Legacy/Outback Owner’s Manual Supplement’s additional information for the Center Information Display. The information is also be downloadable from: https://www.subaru.com/ owners/index.html See Appendix B below for more information. • FOTA updates are for the system firmware ONLY. Map updates are a separate function which the customer may update on their own by using either USB download or Map Over the Air Update (MOTA). Go to: subaru-maps.com for more information. Reference photos of each system faceplate are supplied below: Base Mid/ High SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION: REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs. The FOTA update process involves downloading and installing the update firmware therefore, time duration depends on signal strength and transfer rate performance. During installation, the infotainment system’s functionality will be restricted. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 03/15/23 Page 3 of 26 Continued… Set-Up Instructions and CAUTIONS: • Move the vehicle to an outside location where the engine can be safely started and kept idling during the update process. • Never idle the vehicle in a closed space such as a garage, even if the garage door is kept open. • Once the vehicle is in a safe location, be sure the vehicle is in Park (CVT) or Neutral (MT) and the parking brake is fully engaged. • Open one or more windows to ensure fresh air is available. • Stay with the vehicle until the update is completed. • We suggest adjusting the climate controls to your desired settings in case they become unavailable during the update process. • Unplug any devices, chargers, cables or other USB drives from the vehicle’s USB and power ports. VERY IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with the updating procedure, the currently installed version ID MUST be confirmed (Firmware Version Check) by following the steps below: 1) After starting the engine and system boot-up completes, from the HOME screen, touch the Settings button. 2) Press the General button. Use the down arrow to scroll to System Information then press to display the System Information / Version information.

Go to Settings on vehicle display screen. 2. Select General. 3. Select Wi-Fi. 4. Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on and then select Available Wi-Fi Networks. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 03/15/23 Page 7 of 26 Continued… 5. Select the Wi-Fi network of choice (and enter the password if required). NOTE: Take note of the Wi-Fi signal strength in the top right corner of the screen. If only 1-2 bars are displayed with the selected network, download speeds will likely be slow. Choose a stronger network if possible or move the vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi source. NOTE: See Appendix C for troubleshooting tips in case an error is displayed. STEP 2– DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING UPDATES 1. Next, update the STARLINK system. 2. Go back to the General screen under Settings, 3. Scroll down and select Software Update.

Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 03/15/23 Page 10 of 26 Continued… IMPORTANT: Once complete, the below pop up will be displayed. Press OK then, switch the vehicle OFF, exit the vehicle, lock all doors including the rear gate (if equipped) and move the key fob away from the vehicle at least 10 feet to enable affected systems to go to sleep. WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before proceeding to 8. below. 8. After 5 minutes, restart the vehicle. A “software update complete” message should be displayed signifying the successful update is now complete. If this message is not displayed, try switch the car OFF again and waiting another 5 minutes before restarting. 9. Switch the engine OFF then open the driver’s door to turn the system off and complete the procedure. Bulletin Number: 15-270-20R; Revised: 03/15/23 Page 11 of 26 Continued… NOTE: See Appendix C below for troubleshooting tips if any errors are encountered. WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION: For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period or covered by an active Subaru Added Security Gold plan, this repair may be submitted using the following claim information: Labor Description Labor Operation # Labor Time Fail Code DENSO CP1 VERSION CHECK ONLY A031-178 0.2 ZTZ-48 (MID) DENSO CP1 FOTA / USB UPDATE A031-173 0.6 ZTZ-48 (HIGH) IMPORTANT REMINDERS: • SOA strongly discourages the printing and/or local storage of service information as previously released information and electronic publications may be updated at any time. • Always check for any open recalls or campaigns anytime a vehicle is in for servicing. • Always refer to STIS for the latest service information before performing any repairs.
