A Smart Key is the type of key your 2019 Subaru Forester uses. It contains a programmed transponder chip that communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system to authorize the engine to start. It also has 4 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key will be rejected by your Subaru security system. We program everything on site so your new key works exactly like the original.

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

I come to your GPS pin. You drop a pin where the car is, I drive to that pin, and the job happens wherever your 2019 Subaru Forester sits. Parking lot, driveway, fire road, gravel pullout. The car doesn't move.

A mountain biker at a fire road pullout outside Poway lost his Subaru key somewhere on the trail. No dealer within 30 miles. His car wasn't going anywhere without a key. He hiked to cell service and texted me his pin.

I drove out with everything for his Forester loaded. I used my ACDP to back up his immobilizer data, then decoded the lock with my DAT17 and cut a fresh key on-site. His key, FCC ID HYQ14AHK, was a 4-button remote that I built from scratch at the pullout.

His car started in that dirt lot. Total was around $258. A dealer would have charged $446 plus a tow from a location no flatbed could easily reach.

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do I have to go to the Subaru dealer to get a replacement key?▼

No. A qualified mobile locksmith can cut and program a Smart Key for your 2019 Subaru Forester right where the vehicle sits. Many Subaru owners assume the dealer is the only option because some general locksmiths refuse Subaru work. One Crosstrek owner was told a locksmith could not handle keyless fobs and they had to go to the dealer. That is a limitation of that particular locksmith, not of all locksmiths. We have Subaru specific programming tools and handle these jobs regularly. With us the job is done in a single same-day visit.
