Those of you who are lucky enough to already own a 2018 Outback with the STARLINK navigation system may find the complexity of the voice commands list to be overwhelming. I know I am as I am coming from a 2011 Outback with a significantly less sophisticated navigation system.

While all the commands are listed in the STARLINK Owner's Manual I find it difficult to refer to the manual while driving. Thus I have decided to print out the list which I can keep handy and refer to while driving if need be.

I am attaching the first of my lists as pdf files which you are welcome to print out and use. As time permits I will endeavor to print out the balance of the 7 lists for your use.

Hope this helps you enjoy your new 2018 Outback.

Thanks for your thoughtful assistance.

Attached are the final two voice command lists from your STARLINK Owner's Manual. Note that I have added a margin to the left hand side of each list so that you can create a booklet by cutting out each of the 7 lists and stapling them together.

Let us know if this helps you enjoy your STARLINK nav system.

If anyone has taken the time to follow my instructions your finished STARLINK nav system voice command booklet should look something like the photo below.

If you have another solution please share.

Does anyone know which of these, if any, are new / changed from the '17? Looking them over, they seem very familiar to this '17 owner ..

Starlink voice commands list

After several days of using the lists I printed I find that the "MAIN VOICE COMMANDS" list solves over 90% of my needs. I suggest you print that list first and see if it solves the problem for you.

My $0.02. YMMV

If you are in navigation mode...looking at the map screen....

Is there a voice command to display the radio screen? It would be equivalent to reaching waaay over and pressing the AUDIO/TUNE button.

I looked but couldn't find a way.

Why can't I download the files? When I try I get this message:

That's been happening for a week or two. Seems like they did an update and that's when it started.

WoodB - thanks, it works now. But it doesn't solve my problem, which is how to call call up a favorite or previous destination using a voice command. As far as I can tell, you can't. In my old car, a Ford, I just said "Navigation Favorites," and then I was able to select a line, all by voice command.
