And in most cases - the after market solution for say rear sonar is equal to the factory version for probably $300 to $400 less. Just don't get the aftermarket from the new car dealer and you will save big bucks.
Roof racks baby! My Forester can carry 5 sheet of plywood easily.

interior space. I found that the interior space of the Tribeca is more useable. I have a large dog cage that fits in the Tribeca and Highlander but would not fit in the Maranno because the width on the top of the Nissan is much more narrow. We can fit a square box (like much of my purchases tend to be) (ie large snow blower box, large TV box) have been square and tall. they would not have fit in the Nissan. :shades:
I think leaving the side grills stock but just the center Mesh would look nice... hope its a direct retrofit to the 2006 B9s
SOA rep at show said mesh is directly replaceable on 06.
I will predict that center piece will cost 300 to 350 & side 100 to 150 each.
What do you think?

As to mounting the accessory unit - I think under the passenger seat is the standard location for B9s and the under the drivers seat for other Subies.
Each model may be pre-wired as well so if that is so that would limit where it must go.
That my best understanding.
But if you your service or parts manager they should be able to advise you.
Good luck

Don't want to be a wet blanket but I don't know if you will get much relief changing out the cabin filter.
I believe they are long lived and your B9 is only about 9 months olds. So I would suspect that putting in a new one may not help much. Do you keep your system set to recirculate? That would probably help.
Good luck.

Change it yearly. You're breathing that air.

Back to my original question :confuse:
Does anyone know the differences between models of Subwoofers from Subaru? why on Subaru parts site they show the same looking sub for under seat for a different model at half the price of the B9 version. same wattage and sub size?
Maybe the website artist simply didn't have a photo for the other model of subwoofer and just used what he had on hand. :confuse:
Check out the CX9, I believe Mazda licensed the design of the rims and the gauge cluster, they're nearly identical.

Don't plan on towing more than 1500 lbs
thanks, tls
I've got an overnight test drive of a 2006 5 seater ltd with nav, I can put 100 miles on it tomorrow and then I have to decide. Maybe y'all can answer a couple questions.
Do you have to hit "I agree" on the nav screen every time you turn the car on? I'm never gonna switch to French, what's the point? (A search on "agree" didn't turn up anything)
Seat belt chimes. I tried clicking the seat belt in 25 times in 30 seconds, didn't work, chimes were back when I restarted it. Is this trick legit?
Auto-dimming rear view mirror. Sitting in a 7-11 parking lot an hour ago I couldn't see diddly. Put it in reverse and nothing changed, still couldn't see anything. Turned off the auto dimming and it wasn't any better. This worries me. Is this a defective mirror, or the norm?
The two displays on either side of the nav screen aren't ever going to do anything but tell me when a door's open or the status of the passenger air bag, are they? Can you turn them off?
There's a lot to like about this SUV. In the 30 miles home from Fitzmall, this particular vehicle seems pretty tight. I'll check it out more tomorrow but I'm liking it!
FWIW, I have a '99 Outback which has been a terrific car, except for the left front wheel. I've lost three wheel bearings and one axle in 150,000 miles, the last wheel bearing left me on the side of the road in upstate NY last month.
For all the times I've cursed them I want to stay with Sub because I trust their AWD.
Thanks for any advice, and it's pretty neat to find a crew on my side for a change.
I don't know if you have a defective mirror or not. But keep in mind unless there is a bright light shinning into the rear of the car the mrror is not in the dimming mode so turning it off should not make a difference.
Also the back end has privacy glass which is quite dark. So if you are backing up in a dark area and you are looking in the mirror which seems to have a bit of tint anyway and then through the privacy glass things should be hard to see. The back up lights are not much help.
The B9 has poor rear vision to begin with so my advice is when backing up turn around and look directly through the rear window.
The two displays on either side of the nav screen
They are what they are, can be a little annoying unless you ignore them.Don't know if they can be disconnected, but they can not be turned off.
The Seat Belt Chime - requires practice. The tab must actually click into place then be released by pressing the button on the buckle each time.
I finally found that you must be calm and not rush, Make sure you have lots of slack on the left belt. Have the ignition in the on position or have the engine running and and just start to click and release the proper number of times and that should do it.
DO NOT HOLD THE RELEASE BUTTON IN - so you can slide the tab in and out. You must let it lock then press release.
Good luck. It took me forever to get it right.
I think you're right about the mirror, I didn't think it through. It's nice to know the chimes can be defeated.
The color is the metallic white. I bought it in November and since I live in the Northeast I found a warm place to get it in and applied 2 coats of wax for the winter. During the winter it got washed every 2 weeks or less, far more often than any other car or truck I have owned. I have never seen this situation in any of the 30 +/- cars I have owned.
The stains are about 1/8" in size and can be found on every panel on the car as well as in door jambs, etc. A little polish takes them right off, but I am really concerned what is going to happen over the next couple winters.
Does anyone know of a problem with this paint color?
:confuse:
You may want to visit the active Paint and Body Maintenance & Repair discussion to see if there's a risk of chemical damage to the paint while waiting for responses in here.

But
In the interior my wife would like to put some wood trim over some of the silver metallic trim (plastic) on dashboard, doors and centre console that will scratch quickly when the kids get to it, which would also make it look like a more classy ride.
I would like to give it a little more oomph.
I would like running boards so that I can reach into the Roof Cargo Carrier, and although the look of the front of the car doesn’t bother me too much, I wouldn’t mind changing the grill.
Can anyone tell me where in the Washington DC. area I can have the interior silver metallic trim on dashboard, doors and centre console replaced with wood?
Where I can have the performance boosted and some changes made to the looks of the front?
And how much extra power does the K&N Filter alone give?
I have no idea what to suggest about running boards. What about a folding step stool? It would have to look better than running boards on a Tribeca.
HP boost? Are you sure you need it?
