What Is Subaru STARLINK?

Subaru STARLINK is a subscription-based service that provides real-time support to enhance your driving experience. Available on new Subaru models, it connects you to advanced entertainment, navigation, and safety features, all easily accessible through the MySubaru app.

How To Get Started With Subaru STARLINK

If you drive a new Subaru, setting up Subaru STARLINK is easy. When you purchase a new vehicle from our McGrath Evanston Subaru dealership, we can help you set up your complimentary trial subscription before you leave. You can also enroll in STARLINK by visiting MySubaru.com. If you've never created a Subaru account before, here's what you'll need to get started:

• An active email address.

• Your Subaru's vehicle identification number. You can find this on your registration, the driver's side dashboard, or the plate on the driver's side door frame.

Navigate to the STARLINK Access tab once you've logged in or created a new account. Select "Update Profile" and create a personal identification number, which you'll use to access the STARLINK features.

When you're ready to use STARLINK from your mobile phone, download the MySubaru app from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Log into your account using the same active email address, and you'll see your STARLINK-enabled vehicle and be able to use all the services right away.

Remote Services

From the MySubaru app, you can access various features to make every drive more pleasant and convenient. If you have a STARLINK subscription, you can start the vehicle remotely, setting the temperature to your ideal specifications. So, on a windy January morning or a sweltering hot summer day in the Chicago area, you can heat or cool the cabin before you get in your car, ensuring it's comfortable when you're ready to go. From the app, you can also lock or unlock your Subaru, activate the horn and lights, and locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot.

If you have the STARLINK Safety and Security package, your subscription includes additional services to give you peace of mind, whether behind the wheel or outside the vehicle. On the MySubaru app, you can set up alerts for different drivers who use the car. For example, if you have a teen driver in the household, you can set up boundary, speed, and curfew alerts. Your app will notify you if your child triggers any of those alerts.

Other features you'll get in the Safety and Security package include:

• Automatic collision notification.

• Enhanced roadside assistance.

• SOS emergency assistance.

• Stolen vehicle recovery.

• Stolen vehicle immobilizer.

Vehicle Health and Maintenance

With the MySubaru app, you can manage your Subaru's service appointments, following the recommended maintenance schedule to keep your vehicle in peak condition. The app tracks your vehicle's service history and lets you make a service appointment directly from your phone. You can also access the owners manual and helpful how-to videos for problems you might experience.

With a STARLINK subscription, the MySubaru app can go even further, providing a monthly report about your vehicle's health. It will also send diagnostic alerts to let you know it's time to bring your Subaru in for service. Your app can even provide essential driving information, such as the odometer, range, and tire pressure readings. These real-time diagnostics can keep you in control of the drive, whether running errands in Skokie, Illinois, or taking a cross-country road trip.

Entertainment and Connectivity

While the STARLINK Safety and Security package offers peace of mind, the Multimedia subscription can make your drive more enjoyable. If your Subaru has Wi-Fi hotspot capability, you can connect up to eight devices through the MySubaru app, ensuring everyone can stay entertained on long road trips. Your passengers can stream TV shows and movies, play music, or access the internet, no matter where the road takes you.

Your STARLINK subscription comes with multimedia features you can access from the app. You can connect entertainment features such as SiriusXM and iHeartRadio to your Subaru's multimedia system and easily access Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This integration allows you to listen to your favorite music or podcasts, send messages, and make calls safely while still staying focused on the road.

The STARLINK Multimedia package provides access to an intuitive navigation system you can control from your Subaru's touch-screen display. You can also get access to the TomTom navigation app, which offers advanced features to get you to your destination via the quickest route. With STARLINK, you have full access to the outside world whenever you're behind the wheel.
