Subaru of America announced Magellan Navi, a cloud-based navigation app, has been added to the 2017 BRZ coupe’s multimedia system. It will be convenient for owners to access it through the BRZ’s multi-media system via their smartphone.

Subaru says the new app works through the Subaru STARLINK in-vehicle technology and downloads automatically when connected with their smartphone. Customers can get the new service for $29.99 with a 3-year subscription or 1-year subscription for $14.99.
