I have my BRZ for 5 months. This morning, I connected my S6 to the Starlink fired up Starlink App in the head unit... And I saw Magellan Apps showed up!!! The starlink apps in my phone didn't show Magellan at that time but right before noon, it was updated and the Magellan app show and I registered a year of service for $10 or 3 years for $30. The only thing left to do is to go test it in my 2016 BRZ now!!! So happy.
Thanks Subaru
Thanks Magellan.

It works!!!! But...
It is low... and take a lot of step to start.
After starting up the car
1. wait for Blutooth connect to establish. You can start the StarLink phone app while you are wait for Blutooth. Blutooth connect take about 30 to 45 second after starting the car
2. Start StarLink App in the head unit(push the APP button or select Starlink from the menu). This will take around 30 to 45 seconds
3. Start Magellan App from the StarLink Menu - this take even longer, I feel like at least a minute
So summing the time up from the steps. It takes around 2 minute and a half after starting the engine. If you need to warm up your car in the morning, it might be ok. But if you are going somewhere, consider that you will also need time to search for the destination in Magellan, it is probably not usable!!!
Anyway, I have an option to it now. I am still happy. But I will suggest if you have not submit for the Magellan service, think again or just submit for a year to try it out first.

Also will not let you search while moving, safety is great, but there are two front seats. That might be able to be changed but I second the other comments of slow and clunky so I did not check.
