Subaru Keys & Fobs

Most modern Subarus, including the Outback, run a push-to-start proximity fob, also called a smart key, paired with a laser-cut (sidewinder) emergency blade tucked inside the fob. Older Outback years and base trims used a remote-head key, where the transponder chip and remote buttons sit in one cut key. Both styles carry an encrypted immobilizer chip that talks to the car's ECU, so a key that's only cut won't start the engine until it's electronically programmed. We carry blank fobs and remote-head keys, cut the blade to your code, and program the immobilizer on-site with Autel IM608 and Xtool gear, then test push-to-start or remote functions before we leave.

Lost every key to your Subaru? That's a lost-all-keys job, and we handle it at the curb. With proximity systems there's no key in hand to clone, so we pull your key code by VIN, cut a fresh blade, and add a new fob to the immobilizer from scratch using our programmers. Subaru's security adds a wait window on some all-keys-lost programming, so this job runs longer than a simple spare, but it's done on your driveway, not on a tow truck to the dealer. Bring the title or registration so we can confirm you own the vehicle before we start.

Good to know

Subaru Key FAQ

Most Subaru remote-head keys run in the low-to-mid hundreds, and push-to-start proximity fobs cost more because the part itself is pricier and programming takes longer. A dealer typically charges more once you add the part, programming, and a tow if the car won't start. We give you a flat quote up front by phone before we drive out.
