The Subaru transponder key, and how we set one up.
Subaru kept its ignition keys simple through these years. Foresters, Imprezas, Outbacks and Legacys of this period use a plain black-head key with a transponder chip inside and the remote on a separate fob. This listing is that ignition key.
It is a practical spare. Many Subaru owners in the Lower Mainland have a car with real mileage and only one key left, and on a trailhead or ski hill that is a risk. A plain transponder key starts the car and opens the doors and hatch by hand, which is all you need in an emergency.
Subaru changed chip types during this range, so we match your car before cutting; ask us to confirm for your trim and year if you are ordering ahead.
The blade is cut on our code machine, either from your key or by code. Programming is done with the Subaru present, using diagnostic equipment, with registration and photo ID on hand. With a working key available, it is the shorter version of the job. If none remain, we decode the lock and program a key from scratch at the car. Call 604-734-7233 to arrange it.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 9 model years, 2005 to 2013, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
