If your Subaru has smart keys or a transponder key, you'll have to visit the dealer to program it. If your Subaru has a non-transponder steel key, you can do it yourself, with just a little effort and a few tools that most people have in their arsenal.

First, open the key fob's exterior case using a metal key and a flathead screwdriver. Press the small tab in the seam between the front and back of key fob's enclosure. This will release the internal, smaller casing which contains the battery. The casing can be opened using the screwdriver and look for the new 2025 batteries inside. Remove the old battery, replace it with the new one, then snap the two sides of the fob to each other.

Get in your car and shut all of the doors except for the driver's door. Turn your key to the first position, where the electrical systems are turned on, but the engine remains off, then back again to the off position. Repeat this 10 times in rapid sequence, and you'll hear a chime. After this, you will be given 45 seconds to enter the 8-digit serial number into your vehicle's computer by using the lock and unlock buttons on the driver side door. The dome light will flash to confirm successful programming.

Remote Keys

A remote key is a tiny remote control that is used to unlock and start the engine of your vehicle. It can also be used to control the alarm system and lock or unlock the doors and open the trunk. It can be programmed using an electronic key fob, or the mySubaru App. In some states you may need to obtain a key and program it to comply with laws that prohibit cars from being left running when they are parked.

The service is not always affordable. Locksmiths can offer remote start services in your area. The downside to using an expert locksmith is that they'll normally charge more than the dealership for their services.

When you are hiring a locksmith that offers remote start services that are appropriate for your vehicle, make sure they're licensed and insured. You should also make sure they have the tools to do the job. This will ensure that the locksmith can program your keys properly. If they aren't program your keys, it could result in future issues when you attempt to start your vehicle or lock yourself out of it. Make sure that the emergency key that you received is compatible with the door cylinders as in the trunk to prevent future issues.

If you have lost your key fob or isn't working, bring it to an authorized subaru key car dealer or locksmith with the correct code to reprogram it. They'll also make you a new key that works in the trunk and door locks, which means you can still enter your car even if your battery for your key is dead.

If you're visiting an auto dealer or a locksmith, be sure to tell them your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle ID Number) and the year. The VIN is located on the dashboard or in a prominent spot. It will help the locksmith or dealer verify that they have the right key fob and key to program your Subaru.

Keyless Entry

If you're using a Subaru that has keyless entry, you'll be able to open the doors to your car and start it from a distance. This is a great help if you want to go on a hike without bringing your car keys with you or go out on a snowy road trip and want to warm your engine before stepping onto the highway.

You'll need a smart key or replacement key fob with you to utilize this feature, but the procedure of programming it is easy and easy. You'll need to know the first 8-digit number that appears on your key fob, so make sure to write it down or write it down if you're having trouble remembering.

Once you have set up your pin code, you are able to unlock the car doors by pressing your key fob, trunk release or liftgate locks. You can keep your car keys inside while you go for a hike, or take your children out to play. When you return, you'll be able to use the five-digit code unlock and gain access to the vehicle.

You could install keyless entry yourself if you want to. Professional installation is recommended to ensure that the system is properly installed and functions according to the specifications.
