Does Subaru Forester have remote start?

Remote Start Capability in Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester does have remote start capability, and there are a few different options for accessing this feature:
1. Subaru Dealer Fob-Based Remote Start: A fob-based remote start is available from the Subaru dealer. There are two versions available, one for vehicles with traditional key start and another for vehicles with push button start. The part costs about $400 plus installation labor. If the vehicle has push button start, a Starlink subscription and the MySubaru app can be used for remote start, providing more feature control than the fob-based system.
2. Subscription to Subaru Starlink: There is a three-year trial subscription to Subaru Starlink for new Forester models, after which a fee is required for features like remote start. However, it’s important to note that the subscription is not required for the key fob to work.
3. Genuine Subaru Remote Engine Starter: The genuine Subaru Remote Engine Starter allows the vehicle to be started by pushing a button from the convenience of home or the office, providing the ability to warm up the cabin in the winter or cool it down in the summer.
4. Using the Key Fob or Mobile Device: The vehicle can be remotely started using the key fob by following specific steps, or through the use of a mobile device.
It’s important to consider the different options available and choose the one that best suits individual preferences and needs.
