Dealer should have recommended replacing the entire unit. There is a fault in it. Changing the antenna is not going to help.

Minimum rotor thickness

Front, about 23mm, rear, 11mm. Be aware that machining rotors is a short term solution. It's more cost effective (ie labour) to replace with new rotors and pads.

Clock display flashes a 9 in a sort of inverted commas. What's going on?

There is much written about these clocks failing on the Subaru forums. The fix for most is to repair bad solder joints inside the clock, or replace the clock.

Driver side tail light on 2005 suburu outback does not work at times

Try replacing both tail light bulbs with LED bulbs available at most auto parts supply stores. If screw in be sure to place a dot of anti-seize compound on the threads. LED bulbs more fault tolerant as they need considerably less amperage to illuminate.

2005 Subaru Outback. Trip odometer suddenly said Err 55, cruise control started flashing, ABS lit up, and check engine light had come on. I noticed a day later that the regular odometer had frozen,

I found this under Fixya; 2006 Subaru Outback; there were 25 answers: The problem is not with an emission issue as you would expect with a check engine light. The ER 55 code on the odometer means that there is a loss of communication with the ECU, that is why the check engine light is on and cruise light flashing. for what ever reason whenever your check engine light comes on the cruise becomes disabled. Lame I know. I work in the service department and have seen this issue a lot. The only real way to fix this issue is to go the dealer and have them do a reflash for your vehicle. If the ECU is bad it is covered under the federal emmission wrty for 8 years or 80,000 miles
