February 18, 20178 yr Hi, Just bought a low mileage 04 plate Forester X, AWP. Its going to be an ideal wagon for my fishing trips, no more getting stuck etc. I've had a few classic impreza turbos back in the day so not entirely new to subaru, buts it been a few years since the flat four burble! As usual few quick questions... 1 - Put it into reverseve and makes a few beeping noises but then nothing, else, no sensors at the back evident? If its just a warning beep to tell me ive put it into reverse then can/how do I disable it? 2 - Can I fit impreza alloys - got some 16" Speedline chronos to go on -195/55/16 - currently got some 205/70/15 on the car - i know there is a small difference in offset (7mm) but will it be ok? 3 - Do i just need a std double din cage to fit a double din stereo? or extra brackets or? currently has single din cd player and cubby hole. Will get some pics up asap, loving the big sunroof as well! Cheers Dave.
February 18, 20178 yr Welcome mate i cant help with the questions as im an impreza but have you checked the pcd on yours i know mines a 5x100 if that helps..
February 18, 20178 yr Author Hi mate, thanks for the welcome, pcd is the same its the offset thats slightly worrying me - Forester 48mm - impreza 55mm, I think it means the wheels will be nearer the strut and a slightly lower overall track but i could be wrong! im hoping 7mm makes bugger all difference
February 19, 20178 yr Hello& welcome, The 16" should fit and clear as the standard tyre is 205 or 215 so with the different offset I think you'll be OK. No idea how to turn the beeping off is as I don't have that on mine Again I presume the double din cage would work, you don't have anything like heater controls integrated into the bottom of the stereo?

February 19, 20178 yr Author Thanks Stants. Good news on the wheels. The beeping is weird I must admit, its almost like a warning beep like on lorries when reverse is engagaed - but it only lasts a few seconds, just a bit annoying. Still looking for a stereo so we shall see if end up with single/ double din. Cheers Dave
February 22, 20178 yr Author Cheers for the welcome - so today first problem. What would appear to be a common one - the airbag warning light! So this weekend will be getting under the seat and spraying some contact cleaner in the connections! Cheers.
