Every 2026 Subaru Uncharted comes with a 14-inch multimedia system — but the audio hardware behind it varies by trim. The Premium FWD and Sport receive a 6-speaker standard audio installation; the GT upgrades to Harman Kardon with 11 speakers. Every trim gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster, dual wireless phone chargers, and dual USB-C ports front and rear. For South Shore Long Island buyers who spend real time in their vehicle and want to know what the cabin audio and connectivity experience actually delivers, this guide covers it completely.
Bottom Line: The 14-inch display, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless charging, and dual USB-C ports are standard on all three Uncharted trims. The 6-speaker audio installation is standard on Premium FWD and Sport. The GT upgrades to Harman Kardon with 11 speakers.
- All trims: 14-inch display, wireless CarPlay + Android Auto, 6-speaker audio, dual wireless charging pads, dual front + rear USB-C ports, 7-inch instrument cluster
- GT: Harman Kardon Speaker System with 11 speakers
What Every Uncharted Includes
The following infotainment and connectivity features are standard across all three Uncharted trim levels:
- Subaru 14.0-inch multimedia system — large, high-resolution display positioned high in the dashboard for minimal eye departure from the road
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — automatic phone connection via Bluetooth; no cable required; maps, music, and messaging appear on the 14-inch screen
- SiriusXM satellite radio — satellite audio independent of cellular connectivity
- 7.0-inch LCD instrument cluster — digital instrument display in front of the driver showing speed, range, and driver assist status
- Dual wireless phone chargers — two simultaneous wireless charging positions in the center console for Qi-compatible devices
- Dual front USB-C charging ports — high-speed wired charging and data connectivity at the front
- Dual rear USB-C charging ports — rear-seat passenger charging without an adapter
- Rear-Vision Camera — standard backup camera displayed on the 14-inch screen
The 14-Inch Display: What It Provides in Practice
At 14 inches, the Uncharted’s display is among the largest standard-fit screens in the compact and midsize SUV segment. The practical benefit: navigation, media controls, and climate controls share the display without requiring small-target interaction at highway speed. For South Shore Long Island buyers who use the vehicle for navigation-heavy driving on the parkway system — where exits, route changes, and traffic adjustments happen frequently — the screen size reduces the time and attention required to interact with the map.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Wireless CarPlay means no cable management. When a paired iPhone or Android device is within Bluetooth range and the Uncharted is running, the connection establishes automatically. CarPlay mirrors the phone’s navigation apps (including Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps), music services, messaging, and phone functions on the 14-inch screen.
For Long Island buyers who use Waze for parkway traffic avoidance, wireless CarPlay means navigating with real-time traffic data on the full 14-inch display without needing the phone in a separate mount.
The 7-Inch Instrument Cluster
The dedicated 7-inch LCD instrument cluster sits in the driver’s primary field of view and shows speed, range, EyeSight status, and driver assist information. On an all-electric platform, the range display is a primary use of the instrument cluster — providing ongoing awareness of available range during the drive rather than requiring the driver to reference the center screen.
Harman Kardon on the GT: 11 Speakers
The GT’s Harman Kardon Speaker System is a purpose-calibrated 11-speaker installation replacing the standard 6-speaker audio on Premium FWD and Sport. The Harman Kardon system includes a dedicated amplifier and signal processor that applies room-correction equalization tailored to the Uncharted’s cabin geometry and seat placement.
The difference between 6-speaker standard audio and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon system is most clearly apparent in:
- Midrange clarity: Vocals and acoustic instruments are distinctly clearer and better spatially positioned
- Bass depth: The dedicated woofer and subwoofer components in the Harman Kardon installation produce bass frequencies that a standard 6-speaker system cannot match
- Stereo imaging: Sound appears to come from specific positions in the cabin rather than from a speaker cluster — creating a listening experience that approximates a well-configured home audio environment
For South Shore Long Island buyers who regularly listen to music, podcasts, or streaming audio during their commute, the Harman Kardon upgrade changes the daily experience of being in the Uncharted in a way that is immediately apparent when compared side by side.
Dual Wireless Phone Chargers: Both Trims
Two wireless charging positions are standard across all three Uncharted trims. Both positions support simultaneous charging of Qi-compatible devices — meaning driver and passenger can both charge during the drive without cables or a single-port fight.
On a vehicle designed as an EV with phone-as-key (digital key) integration, keeping the phone reliably charged is a practical priority. The dual wireless positions address this without requiring additional hardware.

"The 14-inch display is one of the things buyers notice first when they sit in the Uncharted — it's large and it's positioned well. Wireless CarPlay means no cable, no hassle, automatic connection every time. The Harman Kardon on the GT is a serious audio upgrade — 11 speakers in a well-calibrated system sounds completely different from 6 standard speakers. If audio quality is something you care about in your daily drive, the GT's audio system alone makes the step-up worth discussing. Dual wireless charging on every trim is one of those things you take for granted until you're in a car that doesn't have it."

Is Harman Kardon available on the Sport? No. The Harman Kardon Speaker System with 11 speakers is exclusive to the GT trim. The Sport has 6-speaker standard audio.
Do the rear USB-C ports support fast charging? Confirm USB-C charging output specifications with South Shore Subaru. USB-C ports are generally capable of faster charging than standard USB-A ports with compatible devices.
