i notice that the USB port loses +12v power when the ignition is turned off. this may - or may not - be a programmable change. (if the usb power is driven by +12v from the ignition key, then there is no programmable fix). once the USB power is off, the flash key cannot talk to the radio, which decides to play the most recently selected station. even if you have driven 300 miles and your "station" does not broadcast in the new territory.

thanks, i will look into it. would think that the 2019 would include that sort of update.

my 2019 legacy, and a friend's 2017 ditto, have a horrific infotainment system, which the importer says is a design, not a bug. among other things, it sometimes remembers whether i am listening to the USB stick if i shut off the engine and restart; other times it forgets. sometimes it hunts for music (even GIF files!) on my phone when i am playing from the USB. if the system is off and i shut off the engine, the radio goes *ON* to the most recently played station. there is more, but that's the guts of it. despite subaru saying it's by design, they also say they are looking to change the software - although how this will apply power to the USB stick when the engine is off escapes me. i'd like to know if anybody else has dealt with this. thanks
