How To Utilize Remote Start on Your New Subaru


Living in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, or Deerfield Beach, Florida, means enjoying sunshine, warm temperatures, and a coastal lifestyle. It also means your vehicle needs to keep up with your daily routine—and your comfort.

That’s where your Subaru’s remote start system comes in. Whether you’re heading out early for work or meeting friends along the coast, remote start ensures your Subaru is ready for the drive before you even open the door.

What Is Subaru Remote Start?

Subaru’s remote start feature allows you to start your engine from a distance using either your key fob or the MySubaru app on your smartphone. This function is a game-changer for Florida drivers—especially on those hot and humid days when stepping into a cool car makes all the difference.

With just a few taps or button presses, your vehicle can begin circulating air throughout the cabin, bringing the temperature down to your comfort level before you ever leave the house. Remote start is available on many newer Subaru models equipped with Keyless Access with Push-Button Start.

Key Fob

Starting Your Subaru With the Key Fob


If your Subaru comes with a factory-installed remote engine start system, you can start your vehicle using the key fob by following these simple steps:

  1. Press the lock button once on your key fob
  2. Within a few seconds, press the lock button again
  3. Then, press and hold the lock button a third time until the lights flash and the horn beeps once

The engine will start, and your vehicle will remain locked until you arrive. Your Subaru will run for approximately 15 minutes before automatically shutting off, giving you enough time to finish your coffee, pack the cooler, or get the kids ready. Be sure that all doors, the hood, and the trunk are fully closed before initiating a remote start. An open entry point will prevent the system from working.

Using the MySubaru App for Remote Start

Prefer to start your Subaru from your phone? The MySubaru app, available for iOS and Android, gives you even more control. After linking your vehicle and account, you can remotely start your engine, set your cabin temperature, and even schedule remote starts in advance.

To get started:

  • Download the MySubaru app
  • Log in or create your account
  • Link your vehicle using your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
  • Navigate to the Remote Services section
  • Tap Remote Start and set your climate preferences

Whether you're walking the dog around Lake Ida, grabbing food to-go in Boynton Town Center, or relaxing at the pier, you can start your Subaru from virtually anywhere with cell service. Plus, by remotely starting your car’s engine, you can let it gradually warm up before you start driving to reduce wear and tear and ultimately enjoy better performance.
