Subaru's connected-services data sharing comes turned ON BY DEFAULT right out of the box — no action required from you for Subaru (and its data partner LexisNexis Risk Solutions) to start collecting. And yes, 'Subaru Starlink' has nothing to do with SpaceX's Starlink internet service — an unrelated company borrowed the same name, which is worth knowing before assuming any connection between the two.

Data sharing
Data-sharing default is reported to be ON out of the box for Subaru's Starlink connected-services bundle (remote services, automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle recovery); LexisNexis Risk Solutions has had a data partnership with Subaru per Consumer Reports' 15-automaker review (not re-verified this pass). SEPARATELY: security researcher Sam Curry reported (Jan 23, 2025) a STARLINK admin-portal flaw, reported to Subaru Nov 20, 2024 and fixed within about a day, that let an attacker with basic owner details remotely start/stop, lock/unlock and locate vehicles and retrieve up to a year of location history (author states it was not exploited maliciously).
