2008 Subaru Forester Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

No key at all? I get these calls all the time. A lot of Subaru owners only ever had one key, especially used car buyers. When it's gone, it's gone. I build a new one from scratch right at the car.

A kayaker at the state beach lot outside Lakeside lost his only key somewhere between the launch ramp and his car. He searched for half an hour, checked with the lifeguard station, nothing. His 2008 Subaru Forester was sitting in the lot and he had no way to open it. He figured it was stuck until a tow could bring it to the dealer. I told him I could be there that afternoon.

I started with my DAT17 Lishi. It picks and decodes Subaru's side-milled lock by reading each wafer position so I can cut an exact blade without the original. Then I connected through OBD and ran the all-keys-lost sequence, which clears previous keys and learns the new one as primary. His Transponder Key, FCC ID , was cut, programmed, and tested right there.

His car started in the same beach lot. Total was around $112. Dealer wanted $276 plus a tow. Lock decode to engine running took about 45 minutes.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to handle all-keys-lost on my Subaru?
Call a mobile locksmith who works on Subaru vehicles before you call the dealer. Subaru dealer AKL quotes can be staggering. A WRX owner was quoted $2,400 for one key out the door. A BRZ owner was quoted $1,800 and then turned away because of a salvage title. A 2020 Forester owner was told about $2,000 for module replacements. A professional locksmith did the BRZ AKL for $800. We come to your location, handle the immobilizer reset and key programming, and the price we quote on the phone is the price you pay. No towing, no module shipping, no surprise labor charges.
Can you delete lost or stolen keys from my Subaru so they no longer work?
