gritle Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I am interested in installing a starter for my 2017 outback. I have been looking to get a back up fob for my keyless start car but realized if I have a remote starter put in I'll end up with at least two keys anyway. I have looked into starters but what I have found says they only work with traditional key ignition locks. Are there any suggestions for the good products to get that include installation? I don't really want to ask the local Subaru dealer sense I figure those will be more expensive. I appreciate all suggestions. Thank you!

GeneralDisorder Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 You fundamentally don't understand how any of this works. You just need to have a remote start system installed that works with a '17 Outback. Any stereo shop should be able to do this for you. The "starter" doesn't change for a remote start system - that's just additional electrical and wireless transmission systems that activate the existing starter once all the proper interlocks are satisfied.

lmdew Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'd remove aftermarket remote start systems when I got them on used cars. They were nothing but junk. I'm sure there are good ones out there, pay for a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD Thanks, I don't really think the 'starter' needs to be replaced per se but that I want to install a remote starter for my car. The kind that is helpful in cold weather situations. With the little bit of looking around I have done I have seen this>> 'for vehicles with traditional keyed ignition only. ' Yet I figure if I go to any stereo show as mentioned it could be done. I have read a lot about Best Buy doing this also. The options on this page look fine to me. https://www.subarupartspros.com/part/remote-start.html Maybe contacting the dealer isn't a bad idea.
