🔧 PRO TIP
The 2019 Forester uses a proximity smart key system, and the fob carries a CR2032. One thing owners miss: if the push-button start stops responding, try holding the fob directly against the start button before assuming the worst. There's a backup reader built into the button area for when the battery is too weak to transmit normally. If the car starts that way, you need a fresh CR2032, not a reprogram. Also, if you're getting a key-not-detected warning only at the driver door handle but the start button still sees the fob fine, that points to the exterior door handle antenna, not the fob itself. Two different things. Worth knowing before you call anybody.

2019 Subaru Forester Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Over near the Lake Poway Area, a guy called me on a weekday afternoon with a pretty tight window. His shift started in under an hour and his 2019 Forester wasn't responding to the fob at all. Push-button start was showing a key-not-detected warning, the door handle touch unlock wasn't triggering, nothing. He'd already swapped the CR2032 himself and it didn't change anything.

That last detail told me something. A battery swap that doesn't fix it usually means one of two things: either the new cell didn't seat cleanly against the contacts, or there's a pairing issue that needs to be resolved through the OBD port.

I got to the lot in about 20 minutes. First thing I did was open the fob and check the battery contact points myself. The cell he'd put in was fine, but one of the contact clips had a slight inward bow from the way it got pried open. Not much, just enough to break a reliable connection under vibration. I straightened the clip, reseated the battery, and tested range before even touching the OBD port.

That alone brought back the door handle response and the push-button start. I still connected through the diagnostic port to verify the key registration was reading clean and no faults were stored. Everything looked right.

He made his shift. The whole job was closer to 25 minutes and cost him a fraction of what the dealer wanted to charge just for the diagnostic appointment. I didn't even need to cut anything.

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How do I spot a fake locksmith before I get ripped off?
Three things to check. First, look for a real business name with verifiable Google and Yelp reviews. Scam operations run dozens of names that all route to the same call center, and their reviews tend to be thin and generic. Second, ask for a firm price on the phone for your specific vehicle. A legitimate locksmith will ask for your year, model, whether it's a smart key or turn-key, and how many working keys you already have before they give you a number. If the answer is "we do all cars for $29," hang up. Third, in California every locksmith company is required to carry a BSIS license number. Ask for it on the spot. If they hesitate or change the subject, that tells you everything.
