Alex, you are easily, EASILY the best communicator of the wonderful world of car electronics! I leased a 2018 Outback and didn't know much of the information you have spelled out in your videos. Thank you and I hope you get some cars to sell! This microchip/supply chain squeeze is a giant pain. Oh, and congratulations on your engagement!

I just bought my 2023 Forrester premium and I’ve been watching your videos the last 6 to 8 weeks and thank you thank you thank you specially this one and I didn’t realize gotta hit the brake pedal and hit the start button simultaneously

[@jmdecato]

Alex, you are a good guy and a hard worker that I have come to admire. I have owned three Subarus and even I have picked up a few useful pointers from you. You are becoming my "go to" guy if I have something I want to know or dig deeper on. Keep up the good work, I will continue to watch and your employers have to know they have a dedicated top notch guy in their organization!

[@jamessimonds4458]

Alex, I own 3 Subarus. And every time I turn on your videos, I learn something new about my Subarus. Functions that I had no idea. My oldest car is a 2018. It is just a base hatchback Impreza. It was my first experience with Subaru. What I learned from buying this. At, is to stay away from the base model. I despise those steel wheels and hubcaps. I now gave 69,000 miles on that car. I have lost now 12 hubcaps. I just replaced the tires and I purchased new aftermarket wheels. I replaced the tires with the exact same tires that came on the car new. What I find, is maintenance on this car is very expensive. The car is cheap to buy new. But the upkeep is costly. Just to replace the spark plugs is 800 bucks. That’s ridiculous.

[@alexpmo]

Hey James! Thanks for watching, and glad that I could help you learn something new. I've had the same issue with hubcaps in the past. We used to zip tie ours to keep them on 😄 I was going to suggest getting either an oem or aftermarket alloy wheel instead, but you're way ahead of me! Hope your experience is better now

[@glendavelji19]

I am happy that I can take my time, watch your videos and process the information. ( And boy, is there a lot!) Thanks to this video, I have been able to set my Presets to MySubaru, and I may start to use the Auto Start feature... In Texas....In the Summer...! (Gonna be 100F this weekend) Thank you, Alex!

[@chrisfoster27]

Your videos are super helpful. It helped me choose a Subaru Outback for purchase. Unfortunately, I hit a moose 3 days after purchasing it. Usually hitting a moose (yes, Im in Canada) with a car is a death sentence. My dog Teddy and I had a few scratches and bruises. We were surrounded by air bags that kept us safe. It would make a great safety advertisement for Subaru. Except the poor Moose didnt make. Luckily a nearby dealership had one in stock and I will be getting it today. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Chris! Glad to hear you and Teddy are ok! Hope you're able to get into another Subaru soon.

Thank you very much. I learned (in different video by another person) that I should warm up my 2019 Forrester. So I tried the MySubaru app to remotely start the engine from inside my house, and it works just fine. I was really pleased to come outside to a nice warm driver's seat. I told my wife she needs to warm up the car before driving off, and she just set up the MySubaru app on her own phone. Thank you for these videos, they are a definite help to both of us.

The remote start works from ANYWHERE as long as you've got service. I was on the west coast for an extended period of time. While I was away, my Subie was sitting in a parking garage at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and I started it twice while I was on the west coast.

Is it really worth the subscription though?

[@mstephens7]

@@SageLakshmi I would say yes if you have winter weather like we do and other occasions where it would be useful to start the car/unlock it/etc.

[@SageLakshmi]

@@mstephens7 thanks for the reply and I'm definitely in a long winter area. The price is still better than the key fob cost and with more options. There are NJ legislators currently trying to make subscriptions for vehicle functions that do not require any servicing illegal. Their thinking is if this is not a service that will require updates then why are they charging subscriptions. Seems a lot of manufacturers are doing subscriptions now. Anyway, appreciate your feedback several months after your original post

[@ILL1337_X]

​@@SageLakshmi I went with the key fob considering the subscription is $99-149. I figured I'm keeping this vehicle for a long time and would rather not have to pay each year for services I will rarely use other than the actual remote start. I also liked the ability of having the small remote start key fob separate from an app. In my opinion it was worth the $600+ for a one time fee and 2 separate key fobs provided by my dealership.

[@roxannechristensen8098]

Thanks Alex! I had no idea how to unlock the gear shifter when I did a remote start; I was turning off the car and restarting it. It is great that I can see the vehicle condition check with the app: tire pressure and fuel level, I had no idea it was part of the app. So glad I found your video!

[@franksattler6053]

Alex does a great job presenting the information and demonstrating the steps to whatever he discusses. The issue I had with the app was the fact that I could not use it for three weeks. Why? Subaru could not verify the owner. The computer-based part had the car correct. The app said that the car could not be found. I called and canceled. Subaru was like, why? We can fix this. I am like, you had three weeks! No one could fix the issue. They even escalated the case to the highest-level tech. They could not fix the problem. Yeah. Technology is nice when it works.

Great video as usual. Just FYI getting a preowned (I purchased a 2021 Subaru Outback Limited XT this past November) and getting through the Subaru National Customer Support to change the owner etc. Is a very long wait and process. I’ve been trying since November and have sat on hold for hours and have emailed and they are “experiencing long wait times” is the only response so far as well as “please be patient”. So just FYI when you’re buying a preowned be prepared to wait.

Question please ❓ If you have a manual "obviously" you won't be able to start the car however, can you still access the car through the app?

[@tekgamer33]

Alex- It is important to note that Starlink services are NOT available to Massachusetts residents on any model year 2022+ Subaru. The reason it is not available is because Subaru intentionally disabled it to comply with the state’s updated right-to-repair law. This law - which was a voter ballot initiative (not the legislature) -- requires auto makers to use an open-standard for telematics data so that independent mechanics can have access to it. Instead of changing the Starlink system, Subaru chose to simply disable it. This means no remote start, no crash notification, and none of the other services associated with it. This law also means dealer mechanics do not have access to telematics data - Subaru decided nobody can have access to it instead of letting everybody have access to it. The other auto makers, to my knowledge, have not disabled their systems and are complying with the open standard requirement.

[@alexpmo]

Thanks for letting me know! I had no idea that was a limitation. Definitely a bummer for those in Massachusetts 😕

[@tekgamer33]

@@alexpmo I figured it was a good FYI for you. I am a MA resident, but thankfully I will be taking delivery on a MY21 Crosstrek this month so it's not an issue for me. It specifically applies to MY22 vehicles. There have been some articles about this on automotive news sites, but is otherwise not well publicized. There is an ongoing lawsuit by an automaker trade group over the telematics rule, so this could change, but for the time being the directive by Subaru of New England is to not activate the system for MA residents on MY22 cars. (It does not effect out-of-state residents who buy in MA, only owners who live in MA).

I just bought a 22 Forester Premium I’m in MA and I’m so bummed I can’t use the functions in the app. Trying to find a aftermarket company that has one for the 22s

[@tekgamer33]

@@joeychiarenza5456 I am not aware of any third party solution for this. Ironically if Subaru had chosen to adopt an open standard, which was the point of the law, then a third party could access the telematics data. Instead Subaru took the “nobody can have it” approach by disabling the feature altogether. Even the dealer service techs are not be able to access this data. Hopefully when the lawsuit is decided there will be a positive change.

Thanks for watching Eddie! I haven't personally towed anything with the Ascent but I do know that it's capable. There are a few videos on here of people towing small campers and airstreams behind the ascent with ease. They come standard with trailer stability control and the transmission/ trailer brake is already set up for towing so you shouldn't have to do anything.

One question with auto start- I installed the mysubaru app and since i was a previous Subaru owner, i just put in my old password and everything populated with the 2025 Forester. I see nowhere to take advantage of adding to the subscription at the lower rate. Can you still do this on the mysubaru app, or do i have to contact the dealer? Once again, MANY THANKS for your time and informative videos. I'd be lost without them.

Thank you! Yes, you can still get the subscription at the discounted rate. Contact your salesperson to do so or subaru starlink at 1-855-753-2495. The prices have been updated since I made this video. Should be $99.95 plus tax for the first 3 years of the remote start capabilities but you can do as much as 5 years total for $249.95 plus tax.

@@alexpmo ALex MANY thanks for your quick response to the My subaru app with start stop subscription question. Is it possible my dealer paid for a 3 year subscription? I just noticed under INVOICES in MYSubaru app that under Starlink Security PLUS it has an amount of $99.95 plus tax $6.62 for total PAID AMOUNT of $106.57 and states expires 6/27/2027. Does this cover the Subaru app start/stop and door lock option? No one at the dealership mentioned this. I hope you know that your Subaru channel is a HUGE benefit not only to me but everyone who visits your site. You're like a live service manual only with MUCH MORE clearer explanations. All the BEST! Stay well
