A Smart Key is the type of key your 2017 Subaru Impreza uses. It contains a programmed chip that communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system to verify it is an authorized key before the engine will start. It also has 4 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions depending on your trim level. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key will not start your Subaru because the immobilizer will reject it.

2017 Subaru Impreza Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I can usually get to you in Escondido within 30 to 45 minutes. The 2017 Subaru Impreza key replacement takes 25 to 50 minutes depending on whether you have a working key or it's all-keys-lost. From phone call to engine running, most Subaru jobs wrap up in about an hour.

A bartender called at 3:30pm from a brewery taproom lot in Escondido. His shift started at 4 and his Impreza fob was dead. Push-to-start wouldn't respond. The bar manager was already texting him. He couldn't be late.

I keep my van stocked and ready. I was at the lot in 20 minutes. I used my DAT17 Lishi to open the door, then connected through OBD. His Smart Key, FCC ID HYQ14AHK, needed a fresh CR2032 battery and a reprogram to clear the fault. Total hands-on time was about 20 minutes.

He clocked in at 4:05 and paid $278 total. Dealer would have been $477 plus a tow plus a missed shift.

How long does the Subaru dealer take for key replacement?▼

Subaru dealer timelines vary widely. In the best case, one Outback owner reports the dealer handling an add-a-key in about 30 minutes once the fob was in stock. In worse cases, the fob has to be ordered by VIN and a separate programming appointment scheduled days later. For all-keys-lost on newer push-to-start models, some dealers remove security modules and ship them to Subaru for reprogramming, with owners reporting about two weeks for that step alone. One WRX owner saw a dealer quote $450 for the key and $480 for labor to pull and ship the module. With us, add-a-key is typically under an hour on site.
