My 2001subaru forester won't start I changed the bat. and nothing no headlights no radio but the emergency flashers work and the door chime.

If jump starting one hooks up backwards, even just a moment, it is possible to blow a fuse or fusible link, and on some cars even damage the ECU or other components. Check all fuses, then fusible links. Good luck.

What causes slow acceleration wit very loud exhaust noise

I would check for a large exhaust leak, somewhere between where the exhaust manifolds attach to the engine heads to the muffler. Since you had the heads done, I would inspect the connections between the exhaust manifold & heads, the manifolds and the down/flex pipe, and the oxygen sensor housings.

Where is the inertia switch reset

It depends on the error code(s) being reported. A very common one (P0457) is that the engine computer thinks the gas cap is loose. The gas filler neck often develops rust holes which cause this code, fix is repair usually quite easy, or replace. There are many other error codes. Look around your area for a Subaru shop other than the dealer. Your problem fix may much simpler and cheaper than the dealer, who often give the most expensive, worst case, repair options.

How do I get my Samsung phone GT s5511T to reconnect to my 2015 Subaru Forrester

First: The Forester's radio/Bluetooth is almost brain dead. We should ALL demand Subaru to provide firmware (software) update to correct to numerous problems with this system. To somewhat correct your problem: 1. Reserve a big amount of time and patient. It will be painful! 2. Navigate the menus to reset all the radio's Bluetooth settings. Make sure that no phone or device is paired with the radio. 3. Reconnect (pair) your phone to the radio by pressing the TALK button on the steering wheel and follow the voice prompts. Do not pair your phone to the radio by pressing buttons on the radio. NOTE: ONLY ONE PHONE can be connected to the Subaru's radio system and used automatically when starting the car. Kind-of. If you have another phone or user, then... good luck!

Ignition Locked. I inserted a key from my other Subaru 2015 Crosstrek.

Have a key fob? if so, lock it down. Open it with the fob. This should disable security.
