FAQs About Subaru Keys In Medway
Can you make a Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Subaru key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data and our diagnostic tools. For many models we read immobiliser data via OBD2; in some cases, EEPROM methods are required. We’ll confirm the best approach for your model when you call.
My Subaru says “key not detected.” What should I do?
First, replace the fob battery and try holding the fob close to the start button. If it still fails, the fob may have a transponder or remote fault, or the vehicle’s antenna/immobiliser could be at issue. We’ll run diagnostics and either reprogram your existing fob or supply a new one if needed.
Can you program Subaru proximity/push-to-start keys?
Absolutely. We offer smart key programming for most Subaru proximity systems. We pair the fob, program the transponder component for starting, and test lock/unlock and boot release functions.
What if my Subaru key has snapped in the ignition?
Don’t attempt to remove it with pliers—this can damage wafers or the barrel. We provide non-destructive broken key extraction wherever possible, inspect the barrel, and cut and code a replacement key if required.
Do you erase lost or stolen Subaru keys?
Where supported, yes. We can delete lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser memory so they no longer start the vehicle, improving your security. We then program replacement keys and test thoroughly.
Will you damage my Subaru when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques as standard. In rare cases involving severe lock faults or previous damage, we’ll explain options and get your approval before proceeding.
