Does the 2014 Impreza have Bluetooth?
Yes. The 2014 Subaru Impreza offers Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling across all trim levels, and Bluetooth audio streaming is available on models with the upgraded infotainment package. This article explains what to expect, how to check your specific car, and how to pair devices.
What Bluetooth features you can expect on a 2014 Impreza
Bluetooth features vary by infotainment package and trim, but hands-free calling is standard across the lineup. For audio streaming and media controls, look for the upgraded touchscreen system in Premium and Limited trims.
- Hands-free calling: Standard on all trims, enabling phone calls via the car’s microphone and speakers.
- Bluetooth audio streaming: Typically available on models with the upgraded infotainment system; check your vehicle’s spec sheet or display to confirm.
- Phone pairing and contacts: You can pair smartphones and optionally access contacts and call history if enabled by the system.
In summary, if your Impreza has the higher-end infotainment package, you’ll get Bluetooth audio streaming in addition to hands-free calling; base models still include the core Bluetooth calling features.
Using Bluetooth in the 2014 Impreza
To pair a device and use Bluetooth, follow the car's menu prompts. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not supported natively in 2014 Impreza models, so Bluetooth was the primary mobile integration option.
- Ensure the ignition is on and the audio/infotainment system is active.
- On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth and make sure it is discoverable.
- In the Impreza’s system, navigate to Settings > Bluetooth (or Phone) and start a new device search.
- When your phone appears on the screen, select it to begin pairing. If prompted, confirm the passkey or enter the code shown on the car screen.
- Grant any requested permissions (contacts, favorites, messaging) to enable full hands-free operation.
After pairing, you should be able to make and receive calls hands-free, and (where supported) stream audio from your phone to the car’s speakers.
Notes on compatibility and updates
Infotainment interfaces and Bluetooth capabilities can vary by production date and region. If you’re shopping for a specific 2014 Impreza, check the window sticker (Monroney) or the official Subaru brochure for the exact Bluetooth features of that vehicle’s trim and package. Also, if the car has non-original retrofits, features may differ.
Summary
The 2014 Subaru Impreza does include Bluetooth, with hands-free calling standard on all trims and Bluetooth audio streaming typically available on models with the upgraded infotainment system. For the most precise information, verify the exact vehicle’s infotainment package and test the pairing on the car you’re interested in.
