Subaru Starlink Infotainment Adds 4G LTE

Subaru is updating its Starlink infotainment system. 

The new system will be available on certain 2016 Subaru models and will now offer more connected services.

You will be able to get an AT&T 4G LTE wifi hotspot which allows the system to use Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Services, offering stolen vehicle recovery, automatic collision notification, remote vehicle services and monthly diagnostic reports.

Much like GM’s OnStar, Subaru has advisors who can help Starlink users who call for help in an emergency or for roadside assistance. For entertainment, buyers can use Starlink’s wifi connection to use music streaming services like Pandora and Aha. The system will also display and read text messages to the driver, while allowing you to respond using voice recognition technology.

The updated system will become available later this year.
