You must allow location services on your mobile device in order to use EVEConnect GEO Fence Automations.

10. My Automations are not triggering correctly, what should I do?

Automations are dependant on EVEConnect getting accurate GPS coordinates, Bluetooth connection to the infotainment system, and the distances you set for Leaving Home, On the Way Home, and Arriving Home. To determine if your mobile device is getting accurate enough GPS open EVEConnect on your Subaru infotainment system, tap on the gear button in the upper right and then select Set Home Location. An accuracy of less than 40 meters is required to use EVEConenct Automations.

You may also need to adjust the distances for Leaving Home and Arriving Home based on the accuracy you are receiving. Ensure that the difference between Leaving and Arriving is greater than the accuracy you are receiving.

NOTE: GPS readings with an accuracy greater than 40 meters will be ignored.
