The MySubaru App: General Overview
The MySubaru companion app generally lets owners interact with a connected vehicle remotely. Here's the general categories of features people commonly ask about, in plain language.
Vehicle Locator
Shows roughly where the vehicle is parked, using its GPS location, on the base subscription tier.
Remote Start & Climate
Higher tiers on many current models generally add remote engine start and climate control.
Remote Lock/Unlock
Lets an owner lock or unlock doors remotely through the app on supporting plans.
Curfew & Boundary Alerts
Some plans include alerts if the vehicle travels outside a set area or time window — useful for shared or teen drivers.
Vehicle Health Reports
Periodic summaries of general vehicle status are a common feature across connected-car apps.
Maintenance Reminders
The app may surface general reminders about upcoming scheduled maintenance.
Exact features, free-trial length, and subscription requirements vary by model year and change over time. Check the official MySubaru app listing or Subaru's site for what's currently included with your vehicle.
