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.

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.
