If you've have lost your Subaru keys, or simply require an extra set, there are a variety of ways to get one. This article will discuss a some of the most popular methods.

Begin by looking for the circuit board that controls the transmitter inside your key fob (instructions on opening it should be included in the owner's manual). Note the first eight-digit number.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry lets you unlock and start your car without using a mechanical key. This feature, referred to as Toyota Smart Entry by some manufacturers, utilizes an audio signal that travels between your key fob and your car. The car then responds by unlocking or launching the engine. Some keyless entry systems even permit you to open the trunk.

The electronics in key fobs, in contrast to conventional keys that could be easily bent, scratched or broken, are designed to resist damage. They aren't foolproof. They are susceptible to hacking by sophisticated thieves and have security issues as well. It is therefore recommended to regularly change the codes on your key fobs and not allow them to be accessed by others.

To activate the keyless system, you need to place your finger on the door handle (or press a button on the door handle itself). The car then transmits an unidirectional radio signal that is only effective within a narrow range. If your key fob is within this distance it will be able to respond with an unlock code or re-starts the vehicle.

If you decide to install an entry system that is keyless to your car, it's important that it be installed by a professional. Certain aftermarket kits can only unlock the door for the driver, whereas the most advanced offer remote start as well as smartphone connectivity. Professional installation guarantees that the installation is done correctly and that there aren't any other issues with the wiring in your vehicle.

Ignition Switch/Lock Cylinder

The ignition switch is an essential mechanical device that locks the engine of the vehicle when the key is not in its proper place. This helps prevent car theft. It will eventually wear out and cause it to become jammed or stick when the key is either inserted or removed or interfere with starting the vehicle. Locksmiths in the automotive field can often solve this issue 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 for you to insert or remove the key from the ignition. Locksmiths can usually fix this by smoothing the wafers inside the cylinder, but it might be required to replace the entire cylinder.

In the majority of cases, a locksmith with years of experience can get your Subaru functioning in no time. They can even design an extra key so that you are prepared the day that your first key wears out.

If you prefer purchasing a replacement from a dealership such as Hiley Subaru Fort Worth. The dealer will make sure that the key is rightly programmed and appropriate for the model you have. You could also receive an assurance or other benefits from the dealer that won't get from an aftermarket business. The dealer will also be able to cut you a standard key in the event that your subaru lost key doesn't have a transponder chip and isn't an older model.

Key Fob Battery

If the key fob you have isn't opening the doors and starting the vehicle like it used to then it's likely that it needs a new battery. This is especially true if you notice that the signal strength of the key fob is gradually decreasing and you'll need to press the button harder or more often than you did before to get it to work.

The process of replacing the battery is fairly simple. First, you'll need open the key fob, which is done by gently tearing it apart with a flathead screwdriver in various places near the edges (don't worry about breaking the fob, it's made of plastic and is fairly durable).

Find a small hole or notch along the seam that separates the two halves of the key fob, then push a coin or flathead screwdriver into it until it opens up. Then, remove the batteries that were used and put the new ones in the same place making sure to use the same battery chemistry (CR2016 is common). Finally take the fob's two halves back together.

Key fob batteries are usually CR2025 lithium button and coin cells, which can be purchased in packs of two or six at most general and home improvement stores. They are also available online, and they are frequently sold by popular brands such as Energizer and Panasonic.
