We've got Security Plus so can do it with the app but I thought you needed the $369.95 separate fob for nearby activation absent the app. I'll be trying this when the car gets home. This is $400 worth of advice! Thank you!

[@KyleBoline]

You would need to purchase the remote start accessory to use this feature as the car doesn't come equipped with the receiver end of the remote start. The accessory includes both the receiver/ wiring in the car and the extra fob... but when purchased you can then use just the main fob! Hope that helps!

[@steve707]

Thanks for the clarification. Should likely have my phone available should I want to remote start. Security Plus at $25 a year was kind of hard to pass up.

[@717dash_cam]

@@KyleBoline That is something Subaru unfortunately lags with. At the price point for the Limited trims and up, it should be standard and should be far better integrated and having an antenna affixed to the windshield and an extra fob on top of a hidden feature nobody at the dealership really ever mentions in the standard fob. I had a 19 Forester and just did Security plus through the app, but had times when the app was down. When Honda puts remote start as a standard feature one step above base across their line-up, it's just bad optics when you look at value; Especially on top trims for others to not include it standard. That said, Subarus standard fob range is pretty bad... and that bidirectional extra fob has amazing range.

[@KyleBoline]

@Steve right?! Glad I could help clarify the differences.

[@TGWazoo1]

No. It has the receiver end. Subaru does not provide the transmitter. Because they want you pay a subscription. So now the Subaru retains the transmitter which sends a signal thru a cell tower after it receives a request from the app. It’s a microwave signal.

[@kleverich]

Thanks for posting this. I ended up getting the remote start package because it was on the car I wanted, I think a dealer option. I was indifferent to it, but I certainly wasn't going to carry around an extra fob just to have it. Being able to do it from the regular fob makes it more practical. I don't even know where mine are. Maybe this was in the owner's manual?

[@vikasdangwal3080]

[@paulmalbeuf9213]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! What is the expected range on the factory remote? I just bought a used 2018 Forester touring edition. I"m considering a Compustar T12. I have heard the factory starter has poor range. Any thoughts?

[@KyleBoline]

Pro's and Con's to each... my two sense is if you plan to keep for a while and are ok with aftermarket parts, Compustar is reputable and will most likely have farther range! Downside is it is aftermarket so for resale value etc it is always a safer bet to keep it OEM. With that being said there will always be people who don't care (myself included, you should see my Forester.) Appreciate the views and have a great weekend!

[@SonnyHung]

Kyle, your title, 'Subaru Hidden Remote Start Feature', using the word hidden is Click Bait and a lie since the feature is listed and described in the User Manual, and also mentioned in the Remote Start Module paperwork you get when you have it installed by the dealer OR included when ordered with it installed. * IMPORTANT: I'm just amazed that the use of the KeyLess Entry FOB is actually unknown or not well known by Subaru employees. I asked the NY dealer, then called the CT dealer and also a NJ dealer. Each asked their staff but none knew about the feature and how to operate it. I had to red the manual, and find the paperwork included with the Remote Start Module that they handed me after it's install. The was in January 2021 when we purchased the 2021 Forester Premium with it installed by the dealer.

[@RobVicPer1]

Yes, it's hidden when you are told at the dealership that the main fob will not start the car. Until we saw the instructions left in the glove box after the remote was installed. They are kind of clueless.

[@TGWazoo1]

If you have one of the newer models with the phone app start only, you have to build your own transmitter to remote start without the app. For people like me that understand RF transmitters and receivers it’s still a hassle to do, and you are still burdened with a bulky transmitter to remote start your car. But if you like experimenting with circuit boards and RF it’s kind of fun. If anyone did this commercially I suspect Subaru would sue you.

[@jbpachmayer]

What if my 2019 Ascent Limited doesn’t have remote start? If i add it at Subaru and get the extra key faub will my factory one now work? When I do this trick now it does the extra beeps just doesn’t start. When I ask my locals Subaru this question and show them this video they said the remote start would have to be installed at the Port which can only be done on a vehicle that you order and have custom built. Other wise they said you can only use the auxiliary remote for the remote start. However if it’s $700-$800 to add remote start and only $100 per year for starlink and I only plan on keeping the car for 3-5 yrs I think I’d be saving money doing the app instead. But I would like to use my key faub so please answer the question when you can. 😊

[@KyleBoline]

Apologies for the delay in response. Unfortunately you would have to install the physical remote start as your car would need the device that receives that signal. So I would agree with you and say to purchase the starlink portion for the app as it would make more sense financially. Hope that helps and have a great week!

So glad to have found this! I tried it today, and it worked! Until I opened my doors to put the groceries in and it shut off. When I unlocked with the fob it shut off. I went through the process again, and then used the door sensor to unlock the car...and it still shut off. This seems to defeat the purpose of cooling the car down if it shuts off the moment I open it (plus that doesn't seem good for the engine to turn on and off and then back on when it's time to go). What am I doing wrong that the engine shuts off when I unlock the car? Thank you!

In the meantime, she's sitting in a dangerously hot car. I didn't think the car could be put into gear if the fob isn't inside the car, so it can't be stolen? What's the concern on SOA's part? This just doesn't make any sense. Plus, all the stopping and starting can't be good for the engine, can it? So weird!

If your vehicle you're interested in has Push Start Only - Then you would 1) Pay for StarLink and use the App to Remote Start your 2019 Forester, OR Purchase the Remote Start Module and use the included Remote Start FOB, or use your KeyLess entry FOB. If you keep your vehicle for a long time the Remote Start Module for me is the better option. The Remote Start FOB has a longer range, and the KeyLess FOB is handy to remote start without taking along the Remote Start FOB.

Right now the market is so crazy that there is no such thing as a discount. But in a normal market, you're more likely to get a better deal if you choose to finance through Subaru. This is because they can make money on the loan too. Cash discounts are a myth.

@@naiemzamdin7260 you would have to buy the accessory as the package also includes the receiver that goes in the car to receive the signal from either the extra fob or the main fob. Hope that helps!

My car doesn’t turn on, it just beeps. Also it’s not a push to start, I have a key

Does not work on my '23 Forester Touring

Does this work a keyed fob ?

[@KyleBoline]

Unfortunately no.

Is auto start a required install or can keyfob be programed to work?

[@KyleBoline]

You would have to get the accessory (receiver) installed for that to work. You would also need the push button start fob, not the traditional turn key, hope that helps!

Do you have the Remote Start Accessory installed?

Do you have the Remote Start Accessory installed? You need that to have the receiving end installed into the car! Hope that helps!
