How to Program a Subaru Replacement Key If you lose your key fob or it ceases to function it will be charged by the dealer you to create a new one. It can be done cheaper by a locksmith. This is a common issue. First, examine the battery. Replace the battery with one similar in size in terms of type, voltage, and size. How to Replace Your Keys If your Subaru has a smart key, or a transponder chip key, it's required that you visit the dealer to program it. If your Subaru has a non-transponder metal key, you could do it yourself using a little bit of work and a few tools that most people will already have in their possession. First take the key fob out of its exterior case with a metal key and a flathead screwdriver. Locate the small tab in the seam between the front and back of the encasement that houses the key fob, and press it. This will open the inside, smaller casing which contains the battery. Use the screwdriver to open this casing, and locate the new 2025-sized battery inside. Remove the old battery, insert the new one, and then snap the two sides of the fob together. Close all doors, excluding the driver's. Switch your key to the first position, where the electrical systems come on but the engine stays off, then back again to the off position. You will hear a chime when you repeat this 10 times in rapid succession. Once that happens you will have 45 seconds to program that 8-digit serial number into your vehicle's computer using the lock and unlock buttons located on the driver's side door. The dome light will flash to verify successful programming. Remote Keys A remote key is a small remote control used to unlock and start the engine of your car.
