What is Subaru STARLINK?

The term “STARLINK” comes up a lot in modern Subarus, but what does it refer to? There are actually 3 different systems all using the Starlink name, so knowing what they are and how they work can make it easier to utilize them.

Thank you for this video! I could not figure out why the starlink app was not illuminating and it was because my car play was enabled. I appreciate the information!

Thanks for the concise but informative video on this.

Very good explanation. I was wondering why the Starlink seemed to cut on and off.

I just bought a used 2020 Subaru Legacy Premium with 35k and this video basically left me with parks and birds...

So when they say “starlink” as optional add ons. What does that include?

New subscriber. I’d love suggestion for CAR WASHES. Seems, number of things that should be turned off (why no car wash mode??). 1st time I went to drive thru, my back wiper was torn off (they replaced it next day).

As of today it is a dead app that shows up as and inactive grey on my ‘24 Impreza RS

If you download the STARLINK App to your smartphone and enable "STARLINK" from the page that manages devices, it will light up and function as it does in this video. Most simply use their CarPlay or Android Auto software instead of the STARLINK App.

@@BaxterSubaru thank you. I didn’t realize it was an either/or setting, obviously Apple CarPlay offers more functionality - I thought the Birder app might be fun while on a road trip though, maybe I’ll still try that out sometime.

[@CrucesNomad1]

Since is does not work on 2023 or is supported anymore it is a joke.

[@y-ar15]

[@robertb4432]

Birds and parks!??? Wtf!!??

[@kenk7282]

I learned nothing.

Must've had the sound off 😆

STARLINK is incredible unreliable. Navigation is very poor.
