Status
The Subaru OpenPilot port is still in development, we've had it working but scraped everything in favor of better steering control. Tuning needs a lot of love.
Status of Latitudinal control (steering)
Openpilot will handle steering via Giraffe (or custom wire harness) and filtered CAN forwarding
Status of Longitudinal control (accelerator and brakes)
Eyesight will handle longitudinal control through stock ACC Longitudinal support with stop and go is easily possible. However, subaru lacks a radar and eyesight is currently better than openpilot's vision mock radar.
TODO
- Steering
- find missing Steering Torque CAN message for XV/Global Platform (check CAN PID doc for guidance) - DONE
- tuning
- Panda CAN forwarding - DONE
- Panda CAN filtering - DONE
- Panda safety
Getting started
Check if your car is a good candidate
Required hardware
- Panda from comma.ai shop - Grey Panda with high precision GNSS is recommended
- EON from comma.ai shop (or DIY using OnePlus 3T and cooling method)
- Giraffe from Clayson
- OR order connectors and build a R137 wiring harness yourself.
Adding support for new model
- ssh into EON
- Create Openpilot fingerprint for the car
- Use Cabana to reverse engineer CAN messages required for Openpilot. This collection of DBC files is good place to start

Overview
Subaru eyesight was first available in the following years/models and includes the following features:
- Pre-Collision Warning, Braking, and Throttle Management (Throttle lift-off during emergency braking)
- Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Dual cameras instead of radar
Gen1 of Eyesight only featured 'notification' systems to alert the driver of lane departure/braking events; Gen2 allows emergency braking at any time. Gen3 includes color cameras, LKAS(2016+) after lane departure and ACC restart after full stops.
Gen2 - 2014 Forester Touring, Legacy
- Pre-Collision Warning, Braking, and Throttle Management (Throttle lift-off during emergency braking)
- LDW
- ACC
- Stereoscopic cameras
Gen3 (CVT) - 2015 Legacy, Outback, Crosstrek
- ACC - Adaptive cruise control
- Constant speed cruise control
- Pre-collision braking
- AT rapid start prevention control
- Lane departure warning
- Sway warning
- Preceding vehicle start monitoring function
Gen3 - 2016+ Legacy, Outback, Impreza,
- LKAS - Active lane keep (lane departure prevention)
- ACC - Adaptive cruise control
- Constant speed cruise control
- Pre-collision braking
- AT rapid start prevention control
- Lane departure warning
- Sway warning
- Preceding vehicle start monitoring function
Optional extras:
- BSD - blind spot detection (2 radars with 75 degree FOV in rear corners)
- LCA - lane change assistance
- RCTA - reversing assistance
- RAB (reverse assisted braking, 4 sonar sensors in rear bumper)

Main CAN bus wiring harness
CAN messages are filtered by CAN gateway (Body Integrated Unit) on the global platform and MY18+ cars. Getting unfiltered CAN messages requires direct connection to main CAN bus. Here are two possible options for directly connecting to CAN bus:
A-pillar
- MY2015+
- Remove A-pillar cover on passenger (right) side
- R96/i19 connector pinout - currently there are no sources for ordering the R96/i19 connectors
Eyesight compartment
Removing Eyesight cover
- Steps 1-5 (For Outback/Legacy, all others are the same process but there are 2 bolts under the lane departure off and forward collision off plate.)

- R137 connector pinout and BOM for building wiring harness
