Subaru Replacement Keys You can request an ordinary metal Subaru key made by any hardware store or locksmith. You'll need the year, make and model of your vehicle. The fob or key should be able to have the correct coding to match your Subaru. That's why our Stocker Subaru dealership in State College recommends contacting the dealer to request a replacement. Key blanks If your Subaru is older than 2003 and doesn't have a key fob you can get a standard steel ignition key from any hardware store or locksmith. G28 Car Keys must ensure that the company you choose has Subaru blanks, and not Nissan or a different manufacturer's blanks (they will likely work, but they won't have a logo). For models with a newer model, you'll require a dealer that can program key fobs from aftermarket for your specific vehicle. To do this, they'll need evidence of ownership like your registration or title. They might also want to confirm that your car is still under warranty. Remote keyless entry When buying a new car it is easy to get caught in the excitement of selecting all of the bells and whistles. While this may be appealing, it is important to think about your budget before you start making lists of options. Each feature added will increase the cost of your car. Remote keyless entry, an additional system, allows you to unlock the trunk and doors of your car without the need for a physical key. It works by transmitting an audio signal to the receiver in your vehicle. The system has the panic switch which is activated during an emergency. You can purchase a remote-keyless system online and install the system yourself. It is crucial to pick the right system for you vehicle and read the user manual carefully. Check the product reviews and find out if the manufacturer offers excellent technical or customer service. If your key fob has an embedded chip and you want to replace it, you can do so at your dealer. The average cost for the replacement chip key is approximately $160. A laser-cut, thicker shank key with a less serrated edge is more expensive and can cost as high as $250. You can also purchase new batteries from an auto part store or locksmith. Ignition switch/lock cylinder If your Subaru key isn't turning on in the ignition, you might need a replacement lock cylinder. This is a much more serious issue than a broken or missing remote key fob. It can be difficult to replace the ignition switch/lock-cylinder and you'll need special tools. It's recommended to purchase a repair manual or subscribe to a database like Mitchell 1 or ALLDATA for step-bystep instructions. The ignition cylinder is equipped with pins that are raised by the key when you insert it. The pins are linked by the rotating wafer-tumbler which transfers energy from the key of the car to its engine. If the wafer tumblers have damaged, you'll have difficulty turning your key. A dealership is the best option when you need a replacement key fob for your Subaru. This will ensure that the new key is programmed properly for your vehicle and will be covered by any warranties you have. It's less expensive than buying the same key from a locksmith shop or online. Write down the first eight digits on a piece of paper before you go to the dealership. This is the unique identification number that will need to be programmed to the specific Subaru key. You'll need to do this whether you have a chipped, intelligent fob, “push to start” or remote key or just regular keys made of metal. Battery Replacement A Subaru key fob is a vital piece of technology that can help you locate your vehicle when it is a long distance away. It also gives you many other options like the possibility to connect your smartphone and listen to music or podcasts. You can also use it to start your car but it will need to be programmed. You can do this through a dealership or an automotive locksmith. You'll first need to take your physical key from the case of your fob. You can release the key by pressing a small silver tab located on the back. Once you've done that then use a flathead to open the case. You'll be able to view the battery once you have opened it. Take a photograph of the battery using your smartphone to keep the track of its dimensions and where it is in the case. After you have inserted the new battery, you can snap the smaller unit into the key casing and close it. Then you can test the fob by turning it on and off 10 times. If the battery is working properly the instrument panel will be able to chime. Your dome lights should also flash.
