Counts reflect current stock and shift as the range changes. If your identifier is not listed, it does not necessarily mean we cannot supply it — search the identifier directly.

Matching a Subaru key to your vehicle

Fitment rests on the FCC ID and the part number rather than the badge or the registration year. The first narrows the field; the second settles it.

What happens after it arrives

Nothing arrives ready to use. A Subaru key must be programmed to your vehicle, and any metal blade cut. That is expected for aftermarket parts, not a defect.

Buying the part and paying only for programming is normally well under a dealer-supplied key. Keep the dealer for locked-down immobilisers and total key loss.

Five minutes that prevents a return

  • Match the FCC ID from your existing remote exactly.
  • Note the OEM part number inside the housing where one is present.
  • Confirm turn-key ignition against push-button start.
  • Count the buttons on your original, including boot release and panic.
  • Check the blade profile if the key has a metal blade.
  • Arrange cutting and programming in advance.
