Correct
Saloon has two back boxes, Hatch has one (a difference of £120 on Pro-R site)...................

I'm assuming the 320 package(most got it free it still has a value), although just a map includes a "licence/development fee", with the 320-340 being a tweak plus the backbox/es. (incase of saloon £245 plus £750).

The straight to 340 includes all the above making the "licence/development fee" £674 inc VAT

The reason for asking was not all Dealers have signed up to the Pro-R stuff so just wondered if my local dealer would fit this?

Interesting point, although I'd doubt it was an obstacle.

ECU goes back to Subaru UK for flashing. In your case Backbox comes from stock or Scorpion direct for fitting.

Only one thing you can do, give them a visit/ring quoting the part number.

Even though your local dealer may not be a registered Pro-R dealer they can still supply & fit the parts from any of the Pro-R product range. The power upgrades can be done at any subaru dealership also.

Had a very good insurance quote for this quite keen now. Most say allow three days Crossroads say they can do it in a day presumably as so close to Subaru. Will there be a noticeable improvement or downturn in mpg and please don't tell me I shouldn't have bought a Subaru if I'm worried about mpg I have owned Imprezas for the last 10 years just interested to know particularly as the prodrive use to slightly improve.

I'm sure I read somehwere by simply upgrading the panel filter you can increase power by 5bhp is that correct would it affect the Subaru warranty?

if you use the dedicated Pro-R panel filter you will be warranty friendly

Have also heard from a good source (although not seen it in writing) that it includes a 2nd CAT replacement pipe as well, so even better value.

Norman don with regards to parrot bluetooth is it any good, I've got the standard clarion and the handsfree is ok if I'm stood still but the noise of the road makes it useless on the motorway.

Does the parrot stuff work better you guys had any complaints from people uve rung when tonking down the motorway

I'm due to fit my 930bt next weekend, but not holding my breath for the quality of the bt, as long as my phone maps automatically current doesn't and sound plays good I'm good to go.

Not had any problems with mine and at least the 920 now shows my Samsung contact list which the original unit didn't.
As you will now have a separate microphone you can mount it in a different location (substituted mine for a more streamlined nokia one I had lying around and fitted it on the steering cowl - seems to be a good place)
You can see it here..........

Bought a new phone and not had any problems since with the 930BT even the SatNAV works well for me!

Rob, I note the Pro-R website post items for free to dealers that are signed up what if they aren't will they still send them ordered stuff to be fitted?

I have just been told the prices don't include fitting this is an extra £65 +VAT which seems reasonable but thought the figures, like the prodrive use to, included fitting.
