These options are probably in the BCM ( Body Control Module ). Most over the counter OBDII tools are programmed for the ECU,ECM,PCM Engine modules, Transmission Modules, Airbag Module and ABS module. Other modules on the CAN buss usually require vehicle specific tools.
There are so many indivual controller on the CAN buss these days. You can't even change a radio out for one with better sound/options since it also is on the CAN buss and can control other options from there.
I wish the radio had more volume.

There are may code readers, but a lot of them dont play well with subaru.
Im not looking to hack it, im looking for a really good diagnostic tool for the entre car.

2019 Subaru Outback
What are we doing for code readers that play nice with Subaru and can change settings without blowing the bank.

Center diff. Front diff will roar getting louder with speed.

Fog lights on with the high beams will have no visual assistance to you the driver. Your eyes focus on the brightest light, which will be the high beam.
High beams defeat the purpose of fog lights.

I want one for my 2019 which will let me fiddle with the "Dealer settings" I see them now from 20 bucks to 200 bucks. I am happiest 100-200 bucks.

And with a SIMPLE adapter, most vacuum gauges can also read low pressure and can test for exhaust back-pressure when adapted to the bung of the front O2. Which will immediately show a plugged exhaust condition.

You dont really need the bung adapter for that, but true.

how does it run immediately after a battery disconnect reset? If badly, look for something 'physical' like a clogged exhaust or 'dropped' valve. If better, could be a bad sensor or sensor wiring....
Thats why Im wondering about what happens over 5000 RPM

knock sensor needs attention.
I wouldn't rule out partially clogged exhaust. Vacuum gauge might show that.
Everyone should own a vacume gauge, cheap easy to use and often overlooked.

Also a stuck thermostat, clogged or decrepid radiator, bad cap can cause over heating. Its an old car. Old cars can overheat. Just on Subarus one tends to suspect HG. Actually on any old car that can be suspect.

Will it get over 5K rpm?

I was going to say look for a common denominator, the knock sensor

driveshaft is connected to transmission, which is connected to front diff, which is connected to front axles.. so yeah, it can cause shaking in the steering
Carrier bearing.

I just noticed today when listening to HD Radio station 0n the lower right of the touch screen is a "button" that shows 1 2 3. You can select 1 2 or 3 by touching the button. I gather it has something to do with the HD signal, but what?

With the ownership of Toyota I absolutely do not understand this car. In Netherlands we would get a 50% road tax bonus for any plug-in hybrid but only non-plug-in version is being sold here. 50 miles electric range would be interesting, especially here were that fits in most driving for 80% of the people.
50 miles would be acceptable for a PHEV (the gold standard seems to be the Volt and thats in that area) but 17 why bother
-
Odd I replied but it didnt post.
For 36K new and only 17 miles of electric range not worth it. I looked at them and it doesnt make sense.

I looked at them. They made a slow car reasonably faster. New ones may be worth it as they are PHEV. I've heard nothing bad about them aside from being "meh". They only have 17 miles electric only mode so "meh" especially at 36K new.

get alternator checked by reputable auto store
if going bad they can put on a light show
Just get a volt meter and test it yourself.
-
Inspect the pigtails. Look for signs of loose, overheated or brittle wiring. The pigtails suck in these cars and lead to healight failures. Dont go just by feel of the connection.

Lets do basics.
By "wont turn over" do you mean wont start or wont crank?
Not cranking and the missing is more indicitive of a charging issue (bad alternator)
If it does crank and not start do you have spark?
Check the battery voltage.
