How do I get rid of "The SUBARU STARLINK serice update was successful." message every time I start my car?

Recently I went to the Software Update page on my 2023 Subaru Legacy Touring XT and it said it was initializing, so I left that page and continued on with my day. The next time I started my car it said something about a Starlink update being available. I didn't think anything of it so I clicked "Yes" and continued on. Ever since then, every time I start my car I get a message saying:

The SUBARU STARLINK service update was successful. Safety and Remote services are now ready to use.

Any idea on how to stop this from showing up every time I start the car?

There is something called "memory initialization" that will completely reset your infotainment system, including your radio stations, all customizations, carplay, etc. Can't say if it would resolve this but you could try it and see.

In dealership mode under settings there is memory initialization shown around 7:53 in the video.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Unfortunately I'm still getting the message after:
  • Upgrading to the February 2024 firmware. (But on the bright side, CarPlay connects a lot faster)
  • Doing a Factory Reset this morning.
  • Pressing the blue i-button next to the sunglasses holder and then canceling the call. (I didn't want to necessarily let someone on the other end answer and waist their time, but maybe that'd be needed. Not sure.)
Oh well. I'll probably just live with it for now and if I need to bring the car into the dealership for any other reason, I'll ask about this message then.
