How to Get a Subaru Replacement Key Whether you have lost your Subaru keys, or simply require an extra set, there are a variety of methods to obtain one. This article will cover a couple of popular options. Begin by looking for the transmitter circuit board inside your key fob (instructions for opening it must be included in the owner's manual). Note the first eight-digit number. Keyless Entry Keyless entry allows you to unlock and start your car without a mechanical car key. This feature is also referred as Toyota Smart Entry by certain manufacturers. G28CarKeys uses an electromagnetic wave that travels from your key fob to your car. The car then responds by locking or starting the engine. Some keyless entry systems allow you to open your trunk. The electronics of key fobs, unlike traditional keys which can be easily damaged, bent, or scratched are designed to withstand damage. However, these systems are not 100% secure. They can be hacked and may have security problems. To avoid this, you should change the code on your key fobs regularly and avoid leaving them in the hands of other. To turn on the keyless entry system, you must place your hands on the handle of the door (or press the handle button). Your vehicle will then send out an alert that only works within close range. If your key fob falls within this range, the vehicle will respond by sending an unlock code or start the car. It is crucial to have a professional install your keyless entry system. Some aftermarket products only unlock the doors to the driver's side, while the most advanced models offer remote start and smartphone connectivity. Professional installation guarantees that the installation is completed correctly, and that there are no other problems in the wiring of your vehicle. Ignition Switch/Lock Cylinder The ignition switch is a mechanical part that locks the vehicle's engine when the key isn't inserted into it, helping to prevent car theft. It may eventually wear down, causing it to jam or stick when the key is put in or removed, or hinder starting the vehicle. A locksmith in the automotive industry can usually repair this by replacing or smoothing the wafers within. The lock key cylinder is a much more complex part that can also wear out over time making it difficult to remove or insert the key from the ignition. A locksmith can usually solve this problem by smoothing the wafers within the cylinder, but it might be necessary to replace the entire cylinder. In the majority of cases, a locksmith who has years of experience can get your Subaru up and running again within a matter of minutes. You can have an extra key made to ensure that you are ready in the event that the original one fails. You can also purchase a replacement key from a dealership, such as Hiley Subaru of Fort Worth, if you prefer. The dealer can ensure that you're getting the right key for your vehicle and that it's programmed correctly. They may also offer an assurance and other benefits that you won't receive from an aftermarket firm. If your Subaru does not have a transponder and is not an older model, the dealer can provide you with a standard key made of metal. Key Fob Battery If your key fob isn't opening the doors and getting the car started as it used to need to, it may be time for an upgrade to the battery. This is true especially when you need to press the button harder or more often to get the key fob to function. It's good to know that changing the battery is simple. First, you'll need open the key fob which can be done by prying it apart gently using a flathead screwdriver at various spots around the edges (don't worry about breaking the fob, it's made from plastic and is pretty sturdy). Then you can insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot or notch which separates the key fob's two halves. Then, remove the old batteries and insert the new ones in the same place and ensure that you make use of the same battery chemistry (CR2016 is the most common). Finally, snap the fob's two halves back together. Batteries for key fobs are usually CR2025 lithium button and coin cells, that are available in packs of 2 or 6 at a wide range of home and general improvement stores. They are also available online, and they're frequently sold by popular brands such as Energizer and Panasonic. Key Blanks You'll notice that they all look alike if you examine them closely. However, it's important be aware that the majority of them are nickel silver and designed to be more durable than keys made entirely of brass. This helps prevent key breakage and saves money on service calls, maintenance and new keys. Our blanks are made by Kaba Ilco Corporation, who also develops “LookAlikes” that operate locks with brand names when cut correctly.

We suggest that you work with an Subaru dealer or retailer authorized by Subaru for example, Hiley Subaru of Fort Worth.
