The world continues to move faster and faster these days, which means you need a car that can keep up with the pace. That's why Subaru models are being outfitted with the latest technology to ensure you stay connected with the environment around you.
At Phil Meador Subaru, we believe that a Subaru should do more than simply take you places. It should give you a sense of place and keep you in tune with your surroundings.
Of course, it can be hard to adapt to a lot of change, so we want to make the transition to newer models as smooth as possible. We've answered a few questions about Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to help you transform your trip into a high-tech experience.
What Is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Subaru's new suite of technologies keeps your devices connected to your car and creates a more comfortable experience. If you have an Apple or Android phone, you can sync it with your Subaru and open your phone apps on your touchscreen display.
Newer Subaru models now offer this level of connectivity due to STARLINK technology, which provides a whole host of innovative services. Now you can access your apps with your voice or your car's display screen without ever reaching for your phone.
How Do I Connect My Apple or Android Phone With My Subaru?
To connect your phone to your Subaru vehicle, there are two convenient routes to choose from. The wireless route requires you to go to your car's touchscreen. There, you'll click on the "Phone" button and follow the steps to add your phone.
If you prefer a physical attachment, you can also plug in a USB port and pair your phone that way. Regardless, the process is quick and efficient, letting you move on to the more fun parts of driving an interconnected car.
How Can I Keep up With Communication?
Whether you need to make a quick call or respond to a message, staying in touch with those you care about has never been easier on the road. Every Subaru model is designed to make using your Apple or Android phone a convenient option.
Once you've synced your phone with your Subaru, you can take advantage of Bluetooth to coordinate any audio activity. Simple voice commands allow you to initiate calls, reply to messages, and even create your own messages.
With handless communication, you'll feel closer to your loved ones while on the go.
How Can I Get to Where I Need to Go?
No matter where you're headed, your desired location is only a few clicks or words away. When you've connected your phone, you'll have access to all apps, including Google Maps or any other navigation apps you may have stored away.
You can also tap the speak button on your steering wheel and deliver your request. Did you switch plans and decide to take a trip to Rockland, ID? Let your Subaru know audibly, and the system can update to get you headed in the right direction.
How Can I Make the Most of My Trip?
With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can tap into the more interesting parts of your personality and make sure everyone has a good time. Bluetooth and connectivity enable you to access your music playlists, so you can find your beat.
All you have to do is press the music app on your touchscreen or voice your request to shift between playlists and music stations.
Subaru STARLINK also carries full Wi-Fi capabilities, bringing the power of the internet to your fingertips. Everyone can stay connected and entertained, packing your driving experience with more pleasurable moments.
