How to Program a Subaru Replacement Key

If you lose your key fob or it stops working the dealer will charge you to program an alternative one. Locksmiths are able to do it for less.

This is a common issue. The first thing to look at is the battery. Replace it with a new one that is the same type, size and voltage as the original.

How to Replace Your Keys

If your Subaru has a smart key, or transponder chip key, it is required that you visit the dealer for programming. If your Subaru has a metal key that does not have transponder chips, you can program it yourself using a few simple tools and a little effort.

Open the case on the outside of the key fob using the help of a screwdriver made of metal and a flathead key. Locate the small tab in the seam between the front and back of the key fob's encasement and then press it. This will release the interior smaller casing, which houses the battery. You can open the casing using a screwdriver, and look for the new 2025 batteries inside. Remove the old battery and replace it with the new one. Snap the two sides back together.

Then, turn it back to the off position. Repeat this ten times in rapid intervals, and you'll hear the sound of a chime. Once this happens you will have 45 seconds to program that 8-digit serial number into the computer of your vehicle by pressing the locks and unlock buttons on the driver's side door. The dome light will flash to confirm successful programming.

Remote Keys

The service isn't always affordable. For those looking for an alternative locksmith professional, there are locksmiths who can come to your location and offer the remote start services you're looking for.
