FIRMWARE AND SOFTWARE UPDATES
Software updates provide enhancements to the system, such as new features, added
security, and upgraded functions. If you experience any issues or have questions related to
updating your STARLINK
®
software, please contact your preferred Subaru Retailer.
For the 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus and the 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation systems,
system software can be updated via a Data Communication Module (DCM), if equipped.
The update process involves downloading and installing the software update.
NOTE: System functionality will be restricted during installation, and you may need to
reset radio station presets and volume settings after the update process.
To update the software via DCM:
1. Updated software will be downloaded automatically.
2. When the download is completed, a message asking if installation is desired or not will
be displayed.
3. Select “Yes” to begin installation. Select “Remind Me Later” to delay installation.
4. When installation is complete, select “OK”.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” / “OFF” position and exit the vehicle.
6. Close the driver’s door and lock the doors, and then move at least 10 feet away from
the vehicle to prevent the key from interfering.
7. After five minutes have elapsed, start the engine again, and the new software will be
applied.
