2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Limited Road Test Part 1

I have to commend Subaru on the esthetics of its DVD system, however, as it looks fabulous. The screen

It's possible to view a film on the front infotainment screen as well as the one hanging from the ceiling, as long as the car is in park and the parking brake is on. The front screen also doubles as a nav system, of course. (Photo: Trevor Hofmann, Canadian Auto Press)

looks terrific too, with rich colours and that wide screen capability I spoke of previously. Of course, all that I initially saw of it were the previews that Dreamworks Studios included and the menu screen of fish swimming around (can you guess the movie?) that we couldn't get past without a working remote control. Once Jennifer had purchased a new 3-volt battery (one of those tiny nickel sized units), the remote worked fine and the kids were able to enjoy a movie. One item of note is that it's possible to view a film on the front infotainment screen as well as the one hanging from the ceiling, as long as the car is in park and the parking brake is on. Pretty cool! Note: Make sure and come back tomorrow for the road test portion of Subaru's B9 Tribeca
