Automotive Keys 2014-2020 Subaru / 4-Button Smart Key Vancouver

Subaru introduced its proximity smart key model by model through the middle of the last decade, and this four button fob is the one that covers the 2014 to 2020 cars that got it, led by the Outback, which our Subaru page names as the Subaru we cut the most keys for in Vancouver by a wide margin, and the Forester that followed it. The record gives the make and the year span rather than a model list, so we match the fob to your car by the year and the start button rather than by badge. If your Subaru from these years still has a key you turn, it takes a blade transponder key instead and this fob will not help. The fob unlocks the doors on approach, starts the car from the dash button, and its four buttons typically run lock, unlock, tailgate and panic; a metal emergency blade lives inside for the driver's door and we cut it to your locks. Programming is done at the vehicle, with the fob written to the immobiliser through the diagnostic port, which is how our Subaru page describes the job, and the car can be at 4105 Macdonald St in Vancouver or in your driveway. No Subaru dealer is required. A spare written beside a working fob is the quick version; when every fob is gone the immobiliser is read at the car and the missing fob voided, and that is a longer appointment. Now the part that saves most Outback and Forester owners money. Our Subaru page reports that on these cars the battery contact inside the fob shell fails before the cell itself does, and a fob that only works when pressed against the start button is usually that contact, not the electronics. The fix is a shell swap: your original board and transponder move into a new housing, no programming needed, and it costs a good deal less than the complete fob on this page, which is for a lost or genuinely dead key. Bring the registration, your driver's licence and any working fob, and phone 604-734-7233 with the model and year to confirm which fob you need.
