Yes, Subaru StarLink™ can start your car remotely through the MySubaru® mobile app, allowing you to warm up your vehicle and adjust climate settings from anywhere with cellular coverage. This convenient feature is available on most new Subaru models with a MySubaru Connected Services subscription. Learn how this innovative technology works and see it in action with Rafferty Subaru.
How Subaru StarLink™ Remote Start Works
Subaru StarLink™ enables communication between your smartphone and your vehicle. Simply download the MySubaru app, create an account, and link your vehicle identification number. Through this app, you can start your engine, adjust climate control settings, activate heated seats, and turn on the defroster before stepping outside.
Unlike traditional key fob remote starters with limited range, Subaru StarLink™ works from virtually anywhere you have cellular service.
Which Subaru Models Include Remote Start
Remote start availability varies by model and trim level across the 2025 Subaru lineup. The Subaru Ascent, Subaru Solterra, and Subaru WRX include Subaru StarLink™ Remote Engine Start on all trim levels, while the Subaru Forester, Subaru Outback, Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru Legacy offer this feature on higher trim levels only.
Every new Subaru vehicle includes a complimentary three-year trial of MySubaru Safety services and a six-month trial of MySubaru Security services, which provides access to the remote start function. After the trial period ends, drivers can continue the service through affordable monthly or annual subscription plans.
