I had best buy install a viper remote start to the tune of about 350.00 and the loss of one key. Then after about 4 months later my warning lights on my dash started to flash. I take in to my dealer In Knoxville, Tn only for them to say of course it was the viper that caused it. They then took Pics and sent them to subaru so they canceled my warranty and the dealer tried to charge me 375.00 for a diagnostic fee.
I said the car is under warranty and they said NO. I ended up not paying the fee but had to buy the parts and I took it to another dealer who charged 30/hr less in labor to install my new computer and FACTORY remote start.
All in all it was a 1200.00 lesson and I still dont have my warranty! Why you ask...Because I would have had to pay for a new wiring harness too to reinstate my warranty. I said no thanks as I had 22k on it and only had a warranty for another 14k miles.
So just keep this in mind when you go to purchase an aftermarket remote start on your new Subie!
