Stephen Dalton Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have recently returned to the fold with a 2011 Outback diesel manual with 110,000 miles. The multi-function display went on the blink and has now ceased to function. Is this a known fault? Easy to fix? Fuse? It coincided with the remote key packing up. Any connection between the two? Early days but am looking forward to a long-term relationship with the car. Many thanks. Stephen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Dalton Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 To confirm this is the multi-function display just under the windscreen which shows fuel consumption, the time, range left etc.. Also, I have replaced the Battery in the key fob. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Dalton Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It appears that if you place a key-remote from another car in close proximity then that can "corrupt" the signal from the Subaru Outback key. I placed my wife's Skoda's remote on the same ring as my Subaru key which was then disabled. The Skoda key was removed and within a day the Outback's remote revived itself and now works perfectly. Also, the multi-function display has come back to life concurrently so it seems the two items are inter-related. Weird but there you are. Thank you all for all your comments and theories - oh, wait, there were none ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
