Anything about it in your Owners Manual??

Do a google search and you will find lots of problems listed for it, the main one being a mismatch of versions between HU and phone.

not necessarily your problem but........

In order for your phone to work with the Mirrorlink function in your vehicle, it must be running Mirrorlink version 1.0., which is the version found in the Subaru head-unit. For these phones you may also have to install the gateway app, like Drive Link, on the phone. Without this app, compatible Mirrorlink devices won't work. This app is what allows connectivity to the available apps maintained by the Mirrorlink consortium. Once installed, you can see and access the apps offered and maintained by Mirrorlink. Here’s the link for users of android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .scm&hl=en.

You can also check for Mirrorlink approved devices and the versions that they are running by visiting http://www.mirrorlink.com .On the home page click on Device Developers/Certified Product Listing.

The latest version of Mirrorlink is version 1.1. This version is not backwards compatible with version 1.0. Subaru engineers are looking into the option of offering a possible update to the current Mirrorlink version found in our vehicles. Such an upgrade may be possible as a firmware update, and we hope to be able to offer this feature in the near future.
