wilyoldave Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rps Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilyoldave Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 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?

wilyoldave Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilyoldave Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Airbag warning light could be clock spring fault. Does the hooter work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
