What is Subaru Starlink?

SUBARU STARLINK provides entertainment, safety, and personalized concierge services to upgrade every aspect of your driving experience. With several flexible subscription options and an expansive suite of services, there are many ways you can enjoy this powerful feature.

What Is SUBARU STARLINK?

SUBARU STARLINK is a suite of connected services available to Subaru owners. Offering both safety and security features, as well as infotainment technology, STARLINK enhances driver safety, convenience, and entertainment. If you’re considering a new Subaru, access to this feature could be the determining factor that seals the deal for your final purchase.

SUBARU STARLINK Infotainment System

The SUBARU STARLINK infotainment system offers a well-rounded suite of multimedia services accessible via the car’s high-resolution touch screen. To unlock the infotainment features of STARLINK, you need to download the corresponding app to your smartphone. STARLINK’s multimedia system provides:

• Navigation
• Music including iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, and Pandora
• Podcasts
• Weather updates
• News

STARLINK also includes voice command capabilities so you can take care of business hands-free while driving. You can use voice commands to enable entertainment features, make and answer phone calls, request directions, and even adjust the climate controls.

SUBARU STARLINK Safety and Security Features

One of the greatest benefits of SUBARU STARLINK is its comprehensive suite of safety and security features. These provide valuable protection and peace of mind when you’re on the road. Some of STARLINK’s safety features can even be activated or managed using voice commands.

Automatic Collision Notification

When an airbag deploys, the automatic collision notification system contacts a STARLINK advisor. The advisor will check your location, determine your needs, and deploy assistance if necessary. If you don’t respond to the advisor, they’ll automatically dispatch first responders to your location.

Diagnostic Alerts

STARLINK performs regular diagnostics on your vehicle to identify any problems. If there’s an issue, Subaru will email you with information about the problem, a recommended resolution, and a link to make a service appointment. This streamlines the care and maintenance of your vehicle so you can address problems promptly and improve your vehicle’s safety, efficiency, and life span.

Remote Services

Remote services enable you to control certain aspects of your vehicle using the MySubaru app. You can start the car remotely, lock and unlock doors, and activate the security alarm. If you’re having trouble finding your car, you can use remote services to activate the horn and lights, making it stand out in a crowded parking garage or large parking lot.

Roadside Assistance

If you need assistance in a nonemergent situation, you’ll find help is readily available to assist with situations such as a flat tire or dead battery. Just tap the “i” button on your overhead console to activate STARLINK. The system will dispatch a tow truck to your location to help.

SOS Emergency Assistance

The red SOS button on the overhead console will immediately connect you to a live STARLINK agent. You can use this feature to call for help at any time of day or night, giving you reliable protection in nearly any type of emergency.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery

If the car alarm is activated by anyone other than the driver, STARLINK sends you a notification so you can act fast. This can mean the difference between recovering your car and suffering a complete loss. STARLINK also offers stolen vehicle recovery services, which supply critical information to law enforcement officers to help you recover your car after you’ve filed a police report. STARLINK can even immobilize your Subaru completely so it can no longer be driven.

STARLINK’s features are inaccessible without a service package. You can choose from three options to customize your protections and get just what you need from your subscription.
