Key replacement
Subaru keys, chip and smart.
Subarus use either a bladed key with an ID60 or 8A transponder, as on older Impreza, Forester and Outback models, or a smart key with push-button start on newer ones. The engine ECU holds the immobiliser data, so new keys are paired to it.
Key systems we work with
Subaru Smart Key System, ID60 & 8A Transponders, Engine ECU Immobiliser Pair
Faults we see on Subaru keys
Key fob battery drain, transponder sync loss, and steering lock lockup.

Questions
Subaru key questions.
My Subaru smart key isn’t detected.
Try the fob battery first. If that’s fine, the key may need re-pairing.
Is the Solterra key different?
The Solterra was developed with Toyota and uses a smart key closer to Toyota’s systems.
Can you cut a key for an older Forester?
Yes, cut and coded at the car.
Can you copy a Subaru key or cut a spare?
Yes. With your working key present we cut a spare Subaru key and pair it to the ECU, and the copy is tested in the car before we leave.
