yea for some reason i didnt think a factory unit would $400+.
Normally it's like a $1000-2000 tech* package.
lol, $400 will get you just the map disc.
majority of the time, to buy just a nav unit from a dealer will actually run you about $3-4000+.
when its built into the car from factory, its probably cheaper, being a part of the package, but just that by itself from the parts dept will be too much. keep in mind, this is usually part of the radio/climate control unit, which is one reason why its so damned expensive.
hell, just the replace the screen on one will run you about a grand.

i picked up a factory NAV from a 2013 veloster, it was ~600 bucks installed by myself. needed a cable to go to the telemetry unit in the passenger side kick panel. install took about 20 minutes.
the aftermarket plug and play units were all cheap chinese shit and ROSEN didnt make one yet so it was the best way to go.

All the Ebay units i was looking at were Rosen
i had a rosen double din unit in my 2009 corolla, it was superb. i believe the $400 units are refurbs! just as good as new. and their service/support is excellent.
ROSEN is aftermarket.... but higher end-like. theres no wiring play or metra harnesses required.
the toyota guys swear by them up and down. personally i never paid more than $175 for a headunit before the ROSEN. it was always alpine, or later on pioneer.
it worked great. and all because i couldn't get a toyota ipod adapter working with the craptory radio.

not really. if you are doing it at the dealership then they keep the records.
if you are going to another shop, just keep the records. call the subaru dealer or look in your maint book to see what is recommended at your mileage.

If your motor blows up and Subaru can prove that your oil hasn't been changed, they can turn down the warranty work.
Subaru can't just say, nope, you didn't change your oil here or don't gave records of it being changed so no warranty for you. They would need to have your oil sent out and document that it was neglect on your end with having bad/old oil.
FTR I use Rotella T6 in my subaru and a Pure One Purolater filter. Full synth oil change for $26 bucks.
You probably know this already @chadcharb, but always always use a good oil filter. Frams are garbage.
