If you own a new Subaru Forester from 2018-2021, it comes standard with Bluetooth® audio pairing; likewise, most new models also offer Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility. Bluetooth enables you to access your favorite music and your contacts via your smartphone in Windsor, eliminating the distraction and danger of looking down at your phone constantly. Let us break down the steps to setting up Bluetooth® on your Subaru Forester through the Subaru STARLINK™ Multimedia System. You will find Subaru of Loveland just a 15-mile drive outside of Berthoud, CO.
How to Connect Your iPhone to Bluetooth

- Select Bluetooth®- your phone will begin searching for nearby. Meanwhile, select the "Phone" option on your Forester's STARLINK™ Multimedia touchscreen.
- Once your phone recognizes the Forester, you will see something p[op up[ on the infotainment screen asking if you want to add your phone as a device. Confirm via the touchscreen.
- A code will appear on the touchscreen- it should match the code on your Bluetooth® iPhone, unless another Bluetooth® device is nearby.
Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto® Integration
Need access to some other apps on your phone as you cruise through Johnstown? Most new Subaru Forester models feature total compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, enabling Android and iPhone users to access apps such as navigation, contacts, memos, and more. You can integrate these apps easily as well by downloading either app in your smartphone's app store and searching for pairable devices, right as you sit in your driveway in Estes Park. Make sure your STARLINK™ System gets activated and searches for pairable devices, or else these apps will not work.
