Subaru Starlink Spotify App

by

In the EU, Subaru has handful applications inside their Starlink mobile app. One of the most useful apps is the Weather app. It was only day before when I used that app. Interface was then the one which has been there from the beginning.

Once it starts playing through Starlink, then switch to Spotify. This has worked for me every time. Playing through Bluetooth will not work reliably. You have to dive through documentation but somewhere, Subaru finally admits that if you're using iPhone, you need to conect via USB for music etc. Calls do work via Bluetooth. Whether you’re on the road or away from your Subaru, these mobile apps help you and your family stay safe, entertained, and connected through STARLINK In-Vehicle Technology. Please note, the MySubaru app requires Android 8.0 or newer or Apple iOS 10.3.2 or newer.

Today we went to take some photos of the e-Boxer (see the picture below, nice one?). On return trip I decided to try out Weather app again. To my surprise the interface was completely new!

The old user interface had only 3 days forecast and for current temperature. Also the color scheme was bit lighter.

The only fix seems to be uninstalling the Subaru Starlink app. There's no setting for it in the app that you can turn off. I finally found on one of the Subaru owners forums that Subaru of America have acknowledged this as a known issue that popped up after a recent app. The Subaru Starlink app allows you to have easy access to emergency roadside assistance, vehicle recovery, vehicle location, and plenty of multimedia options. Having Subaru Starlink installed in your car, you also have easy access right at your fingertips with their handy app. The Subaru Starlink App allows you to get notifications straight to.

New interface is better than it used to be. It is fresh and it has new features. There is now possibility to show 24h forecast in 3 hours intervals and then also 6 days forecast on own tab.

Both of these displays shows weather at the current location but also on other predefined locations. There is possibility to store up to 5 different locations. However you need to store locations using your smartphone beforehand.

On the mobile phone

  1. access Weather app
  2. Click gear icon on top right corner
  3. Click add new region
  4. Zoom map to desired location and click search – choose right location from the list

It is bit cumbersome to use the search function within mobile app. You will need to move crosshair to the desired location and then hit search. App will then offer nearby locations to choose from.

So there is no text search. Zoom out enough, navigate, zoom in and press search.

One advantage with Starlink apps over CarPlay is that apps works also over blutooth connection. With CarPlay you will need to plug-im cable everytime.

And wait there is more! This particular Weather app is the only one available. There is no similar weather CarPlay app available. I would like to be proven wrong here!

It is also possible to use simultaneously Starlink apps and CarPlay apps. E.g. start playing music from Spotify, then switch to the Weather app.

Really nice to have this app. As there is no CarPlay variant available and other Starlink apps are far less useful.
