Hi guys just looking at new cars and noticed the 330s has a boost gauge on the headunit do all the hatches have the capability to have the same feature ? Cheers

 

Yep. You might need to get a control unit but guages can be attached to any Subaru.

I think the hatch uses branded Defis.

 

It's only with certain head units, I have a MY11 hatch which has a Pioneer head unit which doesn't have the gauge display function as there's no can bus adapter for it, not to be confused with the comfort adapter for steering wheel controls. But I think the 330 had a Kenwood unit which had a can bus connection for the gauge display

 

So if I was to go for a hatch best to get the 330s only thing is ive seen some really nice hatches but id love the screen for gauges im I wrong in thinking there is a cable behind the stereo and just need the 330 head unit ? Thanks for help though guys

 

AFAIK there's no specific cable... or at least I've never seen one in mine, I believe the display data is derived from the CanBus connection. You could try asking the guys on the 08/09 hatches thread as they should have the feature if they have the satnav fitted... Rob84 would be a good source

or the MY11 saloon/hatch thread where Don Clark is the guru of all model detail

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...-and-chat.html

But I'm not aware of anyone fitting the older satnav head unit in the MY11 cars to get the display.

BTW both Rob & Don are found on many threads but they each own the respective model year cars of the treads above... Don has a saloon but I won't hold that against him as it's a real gem

 

I had a 330S, but the standard navigation unit didn't have a boost gauge that I can remember?

 

I cant remember where I see it but had lots of features on the screen for the engine god im gonna have yo dig out blind for the photo now lol thanks for the help guys much appreciated

 

Throttle position, instantaneous mpg etc

 

Im sure I see one with boost :-s

 

 

This is in a 330s is this the kenwood ?

 

 

Hello again don hope your well is that the same headunit ?

 

Hi,

It looks the same as the OEM Kenwood navi unit, but as has been said, I didn't think it had this capability.

Could it be that its using a bluetooth OBDII connector with an Ipod/android app running on the screen ??

Unless it's a reflection, car looks LHD and 330s was only a UK car??
Interesting cable running top to bottom of picture touching the indicator stick ???

 

I was under the impression this was the extent of the guages available...
Similar to the later models but on screen instead of a seperate readout

 

Another possibility is that it's running custom software as most of the data is on the map dvd..........

Hmmmm a strange one you might be right don like the pioneer app 3 radio you can use torque app on radio. I know the 2014 wrx sti has a boost screen on dash where the clock woukd be on a newage

 

This is true but it just uses the data from the OBDII port wiring similar to any of the ODBII apps/devices but built in.

The wiring for the later hatch/saloons is CAN bus but only outputs the trip and overall fuel consumption to the dashboard screen.

It was not until the G4 Impreza (2012), XV and newer SH/SJ Foresters that got better data information output screens

 

That looks funky I get what ya saying buddy it must of been an app thing with obd2 like ya said

 

that's what my 330s has






if your'e looking at a HATCH 330s, make sure it;s not a dutch import being sold as a 330s

 

Nah I was just looking at this one with gauges in just curious but ive got a few up my sleeve atm either a spec c ra or a my08 spec c if I find one if not will find a clean uk hatch

 

Thats the boost gauge in the new one don
