The 5 Most Useful Features on the Subaru Starlink

Major car manufacturers have been tripping over themselves to add the latest technological innovations to their vehicles. While these often come in the form of new safety features, the most notable (and most often used) technologies are usually built-in to the center console. Subaru’s system is called “Starlink,” and is among the most impressive infotainment systems we’ve seen. Here are the top 5 features Subaru drivers are going to fall in love with.

1. All the Entertainment You Could Need.

Let’s start with the basics – yes, Subaru Starlink has every audio and entertainment option you (or your kids) could ask for. By linking your phone to Starlink via Bluetooth, you can access iheartRadio, Pandora, Stitcher, Apple Radio, and any other audio system you could possibly ask for. When coupled with Subaru’s state-of-the-art Harman Kardon audio systems, these audio applications stream music and voice at a new level of quality.

2. App Integration

As soon as they get the keys, Subaru drivers will want to download the Starlink App from the App store. This app takes Starlink’s utility even further by providing options for food, calendars, weather, and news. Updated automatically and able to be controlled via navigation controls, The Starlink app is almost as useful as the Starlink system itself.

3. Voice Navigation

GPS systems have been an indispensable part of driving for over a decade now, but they’ve always had their faults. One major one that Subaru has conquered is the constant need to click through various menus before finally setting out to the destination. Starlink allows drivers to simply state their destination – one command, and the navigation point is set. It’s a very futuristic feature that works stunningly well.

4. Top Safety Features

Modern vehicles are harder to steal than ever before, particularly due to their push-to-start ignitions. Still, when the unthinkable occurs, Starlink has Subaru drivers covered. Stolen Vehicle Recovery is integrated into every Starlink system, allowing drivers to find their stolen car in record time with Subaru’s assistance. They also offer 24/7 Automatic Collision Notification and 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance at the push of a button. These standard-setting features reduce the time, cost, and hassle of unlikely yet cautionary events.

5. Diagnostics Events

The days of confusing alert lights are long past us. Whenever a problem occurs with the internal workings of one’s Subaru, the driver can expect an email from the car itself detailing what the problem is and how to fix it. Fixing the problem quickly is key to reducing the cost of repairs, and Subaru has allowed drivers to take full control of their car’s health with this key feature.

Cars are meant to be driven; everything else is just icing on the cake. Still, it’s tough to look at everything Starlink has to offer and think that it’s anything less than essential for the modern driver. In the end, everything Subaru has to offer full complements the joy and ease of driving their vehicles.
