It is amazing how off the
It is amazing how off the information is and how people just believe everything they read. I work for Subaru and have for several years. Subaru star link is nothing more than Subaru‘s version of On star which has been around for years on American vehicles. There is not one safety feature that you have to pay to get unlocked. The pre-collision braking system comes standard in every new automatic transmission Subaru on the market and items like Blindspot detection and reverse automatic braking are optional equipment just like they are on all other brands. As for the remote start on every automatic vehicle there is an option given upon purchase either you can pay to have a remote start installed with a key fob which is at a minimum $450 I believe and it can come like that from the factory or dealer installed or …. You can pay to upgrade your star link from the basic package to allow for remote start, lock and unlock, and climate control from your cell phone. People who tend to lease vehicles for three years or keep them until the 3year bumper to bumper warranty runs out would much rather pay a $75 subscription than an additional $450 to have remote start on their vehicle. That is why it is offered plus in most cases it is better than the fob remote start especially if you would like to remote start your vehicle without line of sight. As for paying a subscription to unlock additional features like heated seats etc. that is not a model that Subaru is using. So before all you Subaru fans start bashing Subaru and saying that you’re not buying another one these are the real facts.
