How to Program a Subaru Key Fob If you have a Subaru key fob with buttons that aren't clicking, there is likely a dead battery. Our service center at Capitol Subaru can replace the battery and guide you on how to program another key, if needed. Tom Wimmenhove is an electronic designer at Subaru has found an issue with the way Subaru key fobs deal with code. They don't “roll” codes like other auto manufacturers. Keyless Entry Many Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, WRX, WRX STI, Impreza, and Legacy owners have access to keyless entry and push-button start as an added convenience. It doesn't matter if you want to put your keys somewhere safe or you're worried someone might try to take your car away the technology is designed to give you peace of mind and maximum safety. It's really simple. A sensor in the car detects a radio signal coming from your key fob when it's within range of the sensor. If the signal is valid, the vehicle will lock or unlock as required. You can also limit the use of the doors and trunk using the key fob, by changing the keyless entry setting on the multi-function display (models are equipped with “keyless entry with push-button technology”). Consult your SUBARU dealer for details. Despite the fact that you still need to use an actual key or fob to start your Subaru, keyless entry makes getting in and out of your vehicle easier. This feature lets you lock your Subaru before going for a run or mountain biking, or kayaking without having to worry that someone will find it and drive away in the vehicle. The key fob is also perfect for those who don't want to carry around a number of keys when on hikes or camping trips, as it can open your trunk with a single click. Remote Start In the event of a traffic jam or working from home having the option of remote start is an excellent feature to have. This feature lets you start your Subaru engine from a distance, whether it's to warm up the interior or cool it down when it's hot in the Fountain. Remote start can be done by using the built-in radio on your key fob or through the Starlink App. Both methods utilize the same radio frequencies to communicate, however the app offers more options using an interface that is mobile-friendly. Whatever way you choose to control it the engine will run for 5, 10 or 15 minutes before shutting down automatically. Once the vehicle has been started you can open the doors using your key fob and drive off. You can also preheat your vehicle for a cold winter morning and when you're bundled up and ready to go out for a day of skiing, you can press the fob button to warm the interior prior to entering. When you return to your car following an afternoon of skiing, you'll be comfortable and warm. Plus, you won't have to scrape the ice off your windshield! Be sure to secure your car after you drive to ensure that no one else is able to drive away with it running. You'll want you know how to disable remote start using your key fob or via an app. Car Locking If you're leaving your vehicle in a parking lot or heading to an event by pressing the lock button on your key fob will keep everyone safe. Subaru vehicles are equipped with an exclusive system that stops the steering wheel from turning until there's an ignition key. It's an additional safety feature that prevents theft by wiring your vehicle. This feature is particularly helpful when you're parking in an area with a lot of traffic. If you have ever noticed that your Subaru Forester or Outback, Crosstrek or Impreza power locks won't work or turn correctly it could be the issue with your key fob. In most cases, it is a simple fix that can be found at a Brooklyn Park Subaru service center. Many Subaru cars can start when the battery of the key fob goes out however, only if you know how to activate it. The key that is included in the majority of Subaru fobs can be used to activate the start system of the car. To use this feature To use this feature, press the lock button two times within 3 seconds, then press the unlock button to open your Subaru. Refer to the owner's manual or an Subaru dealer near you to get more details about the type of keyfob that you have and the steps to follow. Before proceeding, you should open the circuit board for the transmitter in your Subaru's key fob and note down the first 8-digit number sequence (for example, 12345). G28CarKeys is the code required to program your new or replacement key fob. Security Subaru has always been a leader in the industry when it comes to safety. They're equipped with a range of advanced driver assistance systems, along with innovative passive safety features such as the ring-shaped reinforcement frame. These features help the drivers of Subaru models feel safe and secure, no matter what they are doing. One of the most useful security features of the Subaru vehicle is a feature known as PIN Code Access. This lets you unlock the lift-gate or trunk of your vehicle with no key fob. You can program a five digit code that you enter into your vehicle's trunk or lift-gate button. Once you've entered the code, the vehicle will respond with an array of chirps that confirm that the number was saved. Once you've entered the five numbers into your Subaru then you'll be able to unlock the vehicle using the code you programmed.
