Subaru Key Fob Replacement: Find the Right Key

Find a replacement Subaru key

Start with your model year, model and ignition type. A remote key, transponder key, proximity fob and mechanical emergency blade serve different purposes. Compare the product details with your original key before ordering.

Subaru models in the catalog

Impreza, Legacy, Forester, Outback, XV Crosstrek, BRZ, STI, WRX, Ascent, Impreza WRX STI, B9 Tribeca, Tribeca.

Open the current product listings to check available years, key types, prices and stock. A model name alone does not establish compatibility with every year or trim.

Compare the full FCC ID and part number

An FCC ID identifies a radio transmitter; it does not by itself confirm the key blade, immobilizer chip or vehicle programming requirements. Copy the complete ID from your original remote, including its suffix. A mechanical blade may have no FCC ID.

Examples found in Subaru listings: CWTWBU766, CWTWB1U811, HYQ12BBY, CWTWBU745. These are examples to compare, not an interchange list or a compatibility guarantee.

Part-number examples in the catalog: 57497-FJ090, 57497-FJ230, 57497-AG11A, 57497-FJ031, 57497-AJ00A, 57497-CA110, 88835-AL04B, 57497-FL08A. Confirm the exact part and any replacement part-number supersession with a qualified automotive locksmith or vehicle-maker parts department.

Find the FCC ID on your key and search matching listings. Also compare the buttons, ignition type, key blade and vehicle equipment.

Cutting and programming: check before ordering

A replacement remote or transponder key may need programming, and an uncut blade needs cutting. A mechanical emergency blade needs no electronic programming. A shell-only listing does not include the electronics unless the listing explicitly says so.

Ask a qualified automotive locksmith whether they can cut and program the exact replacement for your vehicle. Remote-button pairing and immobilizer programming are different operations. Do not assume a procedure for another model or year will work. Request a quote that separates the part, cutting, programming and any call-out charge.

If the original key is lost

Use the VIN lookup to narrow the vehicle and key options. It does not guarantee the exact FCC ID or part number. A vehicle-maker parts department or qualified locksmith can check the vehicle equipment and required key using the VIN and proof of ownership.
