The fault is most common in the 8-inch Harman Kardon screen fitted to the 2018-2020 Outback and Liberty. Pick your model for years, price and details.
Subaru's 8-inch Harman Kardon screens use a gel layer to bond the touch panel to the display. Heat breaks it down, and a summer on an Adelaide dashboard is exactly what does it.
It shows up in three ways, often together:
Drop the car off near Westfield West Lakes. Grab a coffee at the shops, and it is done before you finish.
Call, text or email with your model and year. We confirm the price up front, no surprises later.
We take out the head unit, replace the faulty touch panel and refit it. Most jobs take around 2 hours.
Touch works again, the bubbles are gone, and your radio, Bluetooth and settings stay exactly as they were.
Outback and Liberty, 2018-2020. Every job includes:
The 8-inch Harman Kardon screen uses a gel layer to bond the touch panel to the display. Heat breaks that gel down, which shows up as bubbles, cloudy patches or a rainbow sheen under the glass. The display underneath is usually fine; it is the touch panel that has failed.
The screen registers touches nobody made: it skips songs, changes the volume, opens menus or dials contacts while you drive. It is the same fault as the bubbling, and replacing the touch panel fixes it.
The fault is most common in 2018 to 2020 Outback and Liberty models with the 8-inch Harman Kardon screen. A quick test: if the picture is clear but the touch misbehaves, it is the touch panel, which is exactly what we replace. Other Subarus can have it too, so text us a photo if you are unsure.
Around 2 hours. You drop the car off near Westfield West Lakes and pick it up the same morning or afternoon.
No. Your original head unit stays in the car, so there is no programming and your radio presets, Bluetooth pairings and settings are untouched. Dealers usually replace the whole head unit instead, which then has to be programmed to your car and costs several times more.
