INTRODUCTION:
This Service Information Bulletin has been developed to outline the steps for gathering basic but essential information during diagnosis of Infotainment concerns. The information collected will be used to escalate potential software or phone side concerns. In some cases, these escalations will lead to future software releases improving the infotainment system performance.
Anytime a repair is made to the Infotainment system, it must start with a clear understanding of the concern reported by the customer and the steps to duplicate it. As with any repair, the second step after understanding the concern is to duplicate it and determine if it is an operating characteristic or unexpected operation. If the condition reported is an expected operating characteristic, this should always be demonstrated to the customer to confirm their understanding before releasing the vehicle.
Successful repair of a customer’s Infotainment concern can only be achieved by following a proven diagnostic strategy as outlined below.
Concern description, Date and Time of duplication, Data log are essential elements for understanding the customer concern and must be included with all submissions.

SPECIAL NOTE: For the latest updates on Tips for current concerns, perform key word search in “TechTIPS Article Locator Index” (Document code: SUTTIPSLOC), or review all relevant infotainment related TechTips from the “Accessories” (#15) tab found on the table of contents.
To locate the “TechTIPS Article Locator Index” from STIS “Subaru Tech Info System”, select “Online Reference”. Select “Other/Miscellaneous” in Publication Type and input Document code in applicable area, OR search KEYWORD for “TechTIPS Article”.
SERVICE INFORMATION:
REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs.
- Always confirm the condition as reported by the customer.
- Always document the date and time of the last concern duplication and collect the data log.
- Always attempt to use customer’s setup and equipment for concern duplication. If you can’t use the customer’s phone make sure the phone you test with is as close a match as possible by using a phone with the same make, operating system, and carrier version
- Always document the concern by capturing the steps leading to duplication and when possible, record a video of concern.
- Make sure the concern is not due to the setup or the customer’s accessory/phone. As an example does the condition occur with all phones, all phones of the same type or just the customer’s phone that are connected in a similar way.
- Always document Infotainment system software version and accessory details: make, model, software version.
- When you replace hardware or perform software update in attempt to repair a concern, please claim appropriate labor operation. The warranty information in the bulletin is not applicable in those instances.
- Always document the date and time of the last concern duplication and collect the data log.
It is IMPORTANT to understand some conditions cannot be resolved in the field solely by parts replacement. Some of these situations will require a Techline assistance or assistance from the DSQM. Those are the times, when getting essential data about the concern as well as the diagnostic performed are the most critical.
NOTE: In case of CP1 Black Display concern confirm it is duplicated with the latest software version. If yes, it would be due to the hardware failure in the CCU (Cockpit Control Unit) part of CP1 system. CCU replacement is advised as the next step to repair this concern. Please follow proper exchange procedure.
If you’d like to request assistance from Techline regarding an infotainment case, please have all your files and documents and submit an infotainment case online through the TechShare website. If the vehicle has been in with previous infotainment concerns, please have the previous repair order information available. If you have any issues with the process or technical issues, please contact Techline.
Please keep in mind the basic essential information has to be captured to enable assistance as well as report a concern. Following the steps outlined below should be a good start.
STEPS TO GATHER BASIC INFORMATION
➢ ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
1. Obtain a detailed description of the customer concern including steps to duplicate it
A. Multiple concerns must be addressed one by one as each may have a unique cause. Consult the customer, if you do not clearly understand each reported concern and document each one separately. Lumping concerns together will delay or prevent review of the reported condition.
B. Describe the condition in detail. What is the customer description for what is happening. How would you as a technician describe it. Include notes on the features that are not working but also what is working even when the condition occurs. The table below shows an example of the detail being requested.
Level of Details | Description Details |
Not Acceptable | No Sound/ No Audio |
Acceptable | No sound from SXM radio, but there is sound from AM/FM radio. Audio streaming is working as well. |
C. Date/Time: Obtain from the customer the date and time of the last occurrence. The customer may not remember the time of occurrence clearly. In that case, please confirm with the customer whether it was morning or evening and the day of the week etc.
D. Data Log: Download Infotainment system Data Log and note the Date/ Time of last occurrence – see Appendix
➢ REMAINING INFORMATION
2. Confirm whether the concern is duplicated at the time of repair
A. Note the frequency of occurrence. Is it: Constant or continuous (easily duplicated), Intermittent (happens frequently at least daily but not all the time with a good chance of duplication), or Random (happens with no set occurrence. Could be weekly or monthly. Very hard to duplicate.)
3. Obtain the current Software Version the concern has been duplicated with (Clear photo of the Software Information Screen showing the latest software version is REQUIRED).
NOTE: DO NOT use the coding from this bulletin to submit the claim, if the software update resolves the concern. In that case please use the labor time codes from the related software update bulletin to submit the claim.
4. Obtain the Video of condition being duplicated (may be supplied by the Customer if an intermittent or randomly occurring condition.)
A. Verify the date and time of concern duplication.
5. Obtain the Phone Information (Make/ Model/Operating System Version) as applicable Screen shot of phone software version screen is BEST.
6. Obtain SSM Data with DTCs and Related Troubleshooting Results.
A. Always perform diagnosis of current DTCs which may be related. Any electrical concern may be impacting the operation of the audio/ navigation system and must be resolved to eliminate it as a possible source of the condition. Conditions like this can be repaired TODAY.
B. Revise following portal request format
C. Attach troubleshooting results for all Bxxxx and Uxxxx DTCs infotainment specific B/U codes.
STEPS FOR SUPLYING INFORMATION USING INFOTAINMENT PORTAL
1) Log into TechShare
2) From the left-hand dropdown menu, navigate to Techline
3) Under the Techline Support Phone Number, click “Create Infotainment Case”
4) Select your Retailer from the dropdown menu
5) Fill out Infotainment Case Form and submit
6) The technician will receive an email with the Techline case number
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please upload all available attachments to complete portal submission- data log, video(s), photo(s), SSM data, questionnaire etc. Techline will review the data you provided and follow up for additional information if required. Please note your inputs can be helpful in future quality enhancement when provided with sufficient information to SOA. Cases submitted without enough details cannot not be reviewed by SOA quality team for future product enhancements.
IMPORTANT CAUTION: Always disconnect the Telematics Data Communication Module (DCM) BEFORE any swapping of CCU. DCMs must NEVER be swapped or the customer’s services will not function and DCM replacement may be required as a result which would NOT be a warrantable repair.

They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

INTRODUCTION: This Service Information Bulletin has been developed to outline the steps for gathering basic but essential information during diagnosis of Infotainment concerns. The information collected will be used to escalate potential software or phone side concerns. In some cases, these escalations will lead to future software releases improving the infotainment system performance. Anytime a repair is made to the Infotainment system, it must start with a clear understanding of the concern reported by the customer and the steps to duplicate it. As with any repair, the second step after understanding the concern is to duplicate it and determine if it is an operating characteristic or unexpected operation. If the condition reported is an expected operating characteristic, this should always be demonstrated to the customer to confirm their understanding before releasing the vehicle. Successful repair of a customer’s Infotainment concern can only be achieved by following a proven diagnostic strategy as outlined below. Concern description, Date and Time of duplication, Data log are essential elements for understanding the customer concern and must be included with all submissions.

Bulletin Number: 15-192-22R; Revised: 07/14/22 Page 1 of 12 SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN Continued… CAUTION: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS. Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. Subaru of America, Inc. is ISO 14001 Compliant ISO 14001 is the international standard for excellence in Environmental Management Systems. Please recycle or dispose of automotive products in a manner that is friendly to our environment and in accordance with all local, state and federal laws and regulations. NUMBER: 15-192-22R DATE: 02/16/2022 REVISED: 07/14/22 APPLICABILITY: All Models with Harman and Denso CP1 Infotainment SUBJECT: Infotainment Concern Data Collection Guidelines INTRODUCTION: This Service Information Bulletin has been developed to outline the steps for gathering basic but essential information during diagnosis of Infotainment concerns. The information collected will be used to escalate potential software or phone side concerns. In some cases, these escalations will lead to future software releases improving the infotainment system performance. Anytime a repair is made to the Infotainment system, it must start with a clear understanding of the concern reported by the customer and the steps to duplicate it. As with any repair, the second step after understanding the concern is to duplicate it and determine if it is an operating characteristic or unexpected operation. If the condition reported is an expected operating characteristic, this should always be demonstrated to the customer to confirm their understanding before releasing the vehicle. Successful repair of a customer’s Infotainment concern can only be achieved by following a proven diagnostic strategy as outlined below. Various resources are available to help diagnose and repair the Infotainment system: TSBs, TechTIPS, Techline and FSEs.

All rights reserved. Bulletin Number: 15-192-22R; Revised: 07/14/22 Page 2 of 12 Continued… SERVICE INFORMATION: REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs. • Always confirm the condition as reported by the customer. • Always attempt to use customer’s setup and equipment for concern duplication. If you can’t use the customer’s phone make sure the phone you test with is as close a match as possible by using a phone with the same make, operating system, and carrier version • Always document the concern by capturing the steps leading to duplication and when possible record a video of concern. • Make sure the concern is not due to the setup or the customer’s accessory/ phone. As an example does the condition occur with all phones, all phones of the same type or just the customer’s phone that are connected in a similar way. • Always document Infotainment system software version and accessory details: make, model, software version. • When you replace hardware or perform software update in attempt to repair a concern, please claim appropriate labor operation. The warranty information in the bulletin is not applicable in those instances. • Always document the date and time of the last concern duplication and collect the data log. It is IMPORTANT to understand some conditions cannot be resolved in the field solely by parts replacement. When you replace hardware or perform software update in attempt to repair a concern, please claim appropriate labor operation. The warranty information in the bulletin is not applicable in those instances. Some of these situations will require Techline assistance or assistance from the DSQM. Those are the times, when getting essential data about the concern as well as the diagnostic performed are the most critical. Please keep in mind the basic essential information has to be captured to enable assistance as well as report a concern. Following the steps outlined below should be a good start. STEPS TO GATHER BASIC ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1. Obtain a detailed description of the customer concern including steps to duplicate it and frequency of occurrence . • Multiple concerns must be addressed one by one as each may have a unique cause. Consult the customer, if you do not clearly understand each reported concern and document each separately. Lumping concerns together will delay or prevent review of the reported condition. • Describe the condition in detail. What is the customer description for what is happening. How would you as a technician describe it. Include notes on the features that are not working but also what is working even when the condition occurs. The table below shows an example of the detail being requested. Level of Details Description Details Not Acceptable No Sound/ No Audio Acceptable No sound from SXM radio, but there is sound from AM/FM radio. Audio streaming is working as well. Bulletin Number: 15-192-22R; Revised: 07/14/22 Page 3 of 12 Continued… • Note the frequency of occurrence. Is it: Constant or continuous (easily duplicated), Intermittent (happens frequently at least daily but not all the time with a good chance of duplication), or Random (happens with no set occurrence. Could be weekly or monthly. Very hard to duplicate.) 2. Confirm whether the concern is duplicated at the time of repair. 3. Obtain the Video of condition being duplicated (may be supplied by the Customer if an intermittent or randomly occurring condition.) Verify the date and time of concern duplication. 4. Obtain the current Software Version the concern has been duplicated with (Clear photo of the Software Screen is REQUIRED.) NOTE: It should be the latest version, if not try updating and confirm if condition is resolved or not. If the software update resolves the condition, claim your time using the related software update bulletin coding and not the time or coding from this bulletin. If the condition still duplicates after the update, proceed with this bulletin. 5. Obtain the Phone Information (Make/ Model/Operating System Version) as applicable. • Screen shot of phone software version screen is BEST 6. Obtain SSM Data with DTCs and Related Troubleshooting Results. • Always perform diagnosis of current DTCs which may be related. Any electrical concern may be impacting the operation of the audio/ navigation system and must be resolved to eliminate it as a possible source of the condition. Conditions like this can be repaired TODAY. • Attach SSM Data file with all DTCs. List any BXXX or UXXX DTCs found in the DTC area of the QMR • Attach troubleshooting results for all Bxxxx and Uxxxx DTCs infotainment specific B/U codes. 7. Download Infotainment system Data Log and Note the Date/ Time of last occurrence (in item 1 summary above) – See Appendix A on Page 4. 8. Issue a TechShare QMR using “ZUM” Fail Code and attach all related data, images, video of condition duplication, phone information and Data Log along with a full description of the concern and how it was duplicated. IMPORTANT: If your retailer is currently in the Infotainment portal pilot, follow that process and do not submit a TechShare QMR. See Infotainment Portal page for more details. Only those retailers in the current pilot program will have access to this area of TechShare. Note: Data shared via QMR is used for product performance improvement to prevent failure recurrence and features enhancement. For immediate assistance with repair please contact Techline providing all essential information and follow proper escalation procedures. Technicians following this method will find it provides the most efficient path to a successful Infotainment system repair. IMPORTANT CAUTION: Always disconnect the Telematics Data Communication Module (DCM) BEFORE any swapping of CCU. DCMs must NEVER be swapped or the customer’s services will not function and DCM replacement may be required as a result which would NOT be a warrantable repair. Bulletin Number: 15-192-22R; Revised: 07/14/22 Page 4 of 12 Continued… WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION: For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period, this repair may be submitted using the following claim information: * Labor Description Labor Operation # Labor Time Fail Code INFOTAINMENT DATA LOG & QMR A031-170 1.4 ZUM-43 *Please include TechShare ID number in claim notes with “ZUM” Fail Code. QMR must be entered prior to claim submission. If QMR is not submitted prior to claimsubmission or if key readily available required information is missing such as: Current Software Version (photo of screen), SSM Data showing DTC check result, proper Data Log attachment (single file attached per instructions), the claim will be debited. Do not enter any claims using ZUM as failure code if you: • Installed an exchange or a new CCU, CID, or Head Unit as a repair, unless the condition is still duplicated following this repair. A NEW video will be required as confirmation. • Swapped components as a repair, unless the condition is still duplicated following this repair. A NEW video will be required as confirmation. • Installed a software update as a repair, unless the condition is still duplicated following this repair. A NEW video will be required as confirmation. • Performed any other repair or update, unless the condition is still duplicated following this repair. A NEW video will be required as confirmation. ZUM is only used when reporting conditions which cannot currently be resolved by any other means available. 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.
